Not Acheiving Your Travel Goals? Why You Should Hire A Travel Coach

Traveling can seem daunting, overwhelming, nerve-wracking, and expensive. Traveling can also be thrilling, enlightening, fulfilling, and can put a lot of things in perspective for you. 

Traveling is the number one thing in my life that has shaped me into the person that I am today.  It has taught me so much, strengthened me in many ways, introduced me to incredible people, opened my eyes to the world, and took me to the most remarkable places. 

Many people want to travel.  They want something in their life that gives them a break from their everyday life, resets their mindset, makes them feel fulfilled, allows them to soul-search, challenges them, and hopefully refreshes their lifestyle.  But, many people don't follow through with their travel goals for various reasons including finances, time, fears and anxieties, insecurities, not knowing where to go, how to begin, and what to do, and more.

All of these objections that hinder people from accomplishing their travel dreams can be worked through but, only if the person wants it.  An excellent way to overcome these travel objections is to hire a Travel Coach.  

A Travel Coach is someone who has done what you want to do. They've been to where you want to go.  They've overcome the objections that you face.  They've figured it all out and they can help you do the same. 

Do you crave an adventure or more out of life?

Looking for a break from your hectic lifestyle or demanding job?

Looking to feel more fulfilled?

Need a mental break from your daily life?

Do you need time for yourself to figure out your next steps in life?

Wish that you could travel to a faraway place and explore, whether it’s just for a few days or maybe a 6 months backpacking trip around the world?

Or

Have you gone through a relationship breakup and need to just get away?

Relocating abroad due to a new job and need help adjusting?

Are you excited for your retirement and you plan to live in a new country but need help with the new big change in your life?

Do you travel a lot for work and want to make the most out of your business trips?

Are you going on a honeymoon and want to make sure it’s as incredible as it can be?

Do you work in a specific field and wish to extend your work abroad?

Are you studying abroad and need help with the adjustment and want to learn how to have the experience in the new country?

Want to go on a fabulous family vacation and need help setting it all up?

Traveling enriches your life in so many ways.  It can provide such a transformation in your life that can lead you to finding your life’s purpose and maybe even your career path.  Traveling can help you figure out your passions and what kind of life that you want. Traveling can strengthen you as a person, teaches you more about yourself and about the world, opens your eyes to many things, and can put your life goals and desires into perspective.

When traveling, you will…

Meet new people

Explore new places

Try new foods

Discover yourself

Experience new cultures

Be exposed to new ways of life

See and experience incredible things

Not sure where to go, how you can afford it, or where to even begin? Do you wish to travel more in your life but don’t feel like you’re confident enough, knowledgeable enough, capable, or able to afford it?

Well, guess what, it’s all completely possible! I know, because I managed to travel to 75 countries by the age of 30, all on my own funds, and if I can do it, you can too!

A Travel Career that Meshes Your Love for Travel with Starting Your Own Business

Have you spent time traveling, experienced incredible things, met awesome people, learned a lot about yourself and of the world, mastered a variety of skills, and find yourself thinking... now what?!?

Are you trying to figure out your dream job or career but you aren’t sure what that may be? Are you looking for the perfect way to mesh your love of travel with having your own business?

Do you wish that you can use all of your travel experience, knowledge, skills, and passion and make money from it?  Do you want to find your dream career path doing what you know best and love the most?

That’s exactly how I felt, even after year 5, year 7, and year 9 of traveling around the world, I had NO clue what type of career I wanted. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and felt that I wanted to start my own business and I knew that I loved to travel and that I was good at traveling on a budget, managing my money, and traveling as a solo female backpacker but, what kind of career could I have from all of this?  I did not know! But, what I DID know was what I did NOT want in a career.

I didn’t want to work the typical 9-5 job

I knew the corporate world was not for me

I didn’t want to work for someone who didn’t value me or my expertise

I didn’t want to have scheduled time off or set vacation days

I want to be happy and feel fulfilled and have my values aligned with my career

I felt that the only options that I had that merged my love and knowledge of travel with a career or income were to be a travel blogger, travel agent, travel advisor, social media travel influencer, travel writer, or have a typical digital nomad job like virtual assistant work, website designer, or social media manager.  But, for me, none of those ever really intrigued me. They didn’t feel right for me.  I wanted something even more!

I am so excited that I finally found my ideal career path, my true passion, as a Travel and Business Coach!

How to Find Your Niche or Topic to Make Money from Your Blog or Business

Have you spent time traveling, experienced incredible things, met awesome people, learned a lot about yourself and of the world, mastered a variety of skills, and find yourself thinking... now what?!?

Are you trying to figure out your dream job or career but you aren’t sure what that may be? 

Do you wish that you can use all of your travel experience, knowledge, skills, and passion and make money from it?  Do you want to find your dream career path doing what you know best and love the most?

They didn’t feel right for me.  I wanted something even more!

I am so excited that I finally found my ideal career path, my true passion, as a Travel and Business Coach!

Although I knew right away what my niche, specialty, and target audience are (budget travel, female travel, solo travel), this isn’t the case for most people.

Many people who have a love for travel, to any degree and of any kind, strive to find a career that aligns with their passion for travel, values, desires in life, and income goals. 

Does this sound like how you’ve been feeling or thinking?  You’re not alone!

So, if you’re someone who is looking to start their own online business, become an online coach, or wants to start a blog but, you have no idea or you feel stuck on figuring out what your niche, specialty, topic, focus, or target audience could be.

Do you think to yourself…

“I’m not an expert in anything!”

“What could I possibly teach someone?”

“I’m not good enough at something”

“I don’t know enough about something to teach it”
“How could I ever coach someone”

“I haven’t traveled as much as others”

“I don’t have valuable experience in anything”

“Who’s going to want to listen to what I have to say?”

“I don’t have any special certifications or qualifications”

Sounds like what’s going on in your head?? Well, don’t worry!

First off, everyone can teach something! Everyone is good at, has experience in, and knows enough about something that they teach or coach others on.  You just need to figure out what that is!

Here are some great ways to help you figure out what you could teach, coach, write about, and to who:

What do you have experience in?

Have you had unique experiences in your life?

What kind of information, tips, or advice do you enjoy giving to others?

Is there a common question, or type of question, that people tend to ask you in particular about?

Do people repeatedly come to you for answers on something?

What could you spend hours talking about and love it?

What have been some of your biggest challenges in life?  How did you deal with them and what did you learn from them?

Is there a skill(s) that you master or know a lot about?

What are you really good at doing?

What do you enjoy doing the most?

What does your ideal career look like (be specific)?

Has a big transformation occurred in your life?

Have you found a solution to a major or common problem?

What do you know more about or are better at than others?

Do you have any unique skills or talents?

What kind of people (be specific) do you enjoy helping most? (for example, mom’s who want to travel with their kids, girls who graduate high school and want to travel, solo travelers of all ages who want to turn their passion into a career, etc)

If you already have a blog, what is your most popular blog post (check your analytics)?  This will show you what people are more interested in reading about from your blog and you can turn this into a business topic.

What questions do you hear, see, or read more often in forums, Facebook groups, in person, or while you traveled?

Have you come across a problem that you wish there was a solution to? (create the solution yourself!)

Where does your heart and your values lay when it comes to the type of career that you want, what information you provide, and what you put out into the world?

What would you teach people for free if you had the time because you loved it that much?

What do you understand how to do that others don’t?

What are you a natural genius at?

Where do others make mistakes that you can see?

Write the answers to all (or some) of these questions on paper. This will help you with brainstorming, visualizing, focusing your topic, and getting clarity and direction on what your goals are and what you can teach.

Let me know how and if I can help!  Be sure to check out my video where I talked more about finding your niche!

If you're ready to start a blog and want to create a website, I'd recommend either using Blogger (Free) or Wordpress (low-cost).  If you want to learn more about creating a blog website on Wordpress, click here!
