    Send Rita a text with your thoughts!

    This episode was a shower inspiration, especially after hearing how apprehensive so many travel advisors were to make a sustainable income :) Discover how implementing fees can cover essential expenses and bring peace of mind to your entrepreneurial journey.

    In this episode, I share:

    · Why you can't compare travel advising with other non-fee careers

    · The difference between high volume sales and high revenue sales

    · Why I think we're looking for peace, not freedom

    · and so much more!
