I Started This as a Side Hustle...Here's What Happened

You know what’s funny? This was never supposed to be a “business.” It was just…something I was good at. Something I loved. Something my friends and family kept asking me to help with over and over again...planning Disney trips. And yeah, I was more than a little obsessed.

At the time though, I wasn’t sitting there thinking, “Let me build a brand, create a course, teach others and start a membership.” Not even close. I was running a marketing agency with my husband, had a young daughter, was a PTA mom, had a house to take care of, a fur baby and daydreaming daily of working for Disney. I had no idea in what capacity, but I loved the planning, strategy and challenge of there being a million ways to tour the parks, but meticulously mapping out the right one. I wanted to fill my days with that energy, but...I had to also pay the bills. So, I took a baby step toward my goal. 

I designed the Get Down to Disness Daily Agenda Book for Walt Disney World. This day planner was well received, I sold it on my own website and Amazon, but it wasn't totally fulfilling. I wanted more action than that one and done design delivered. That's when I took the big step of becoming a Travel Agent specializing in Disney Destinations. (Before I knew better, I called it "Disney Travel Agent". If you join the ranks, you'll learn why that's a no-no title. 🫣)

I learned this real quick: Planning vacations for other people when money is on the line, is VERY different than planning for yourself or casually for family and friends. I had to learn the hard way more than a few times (like calling myself a Disney Travel Agent-whoops!), but with an extensive professional background in advertising, marketing and graphic design, building the business proved to be quite easy for me. I started mentoring colleagues in business development and then saw very clearly what I was meant for...teaching others how to build this dream for themselves. I am the most fulfilled (and successful) in my career than I've ever been. These last 12 years have been a dream come true. I want that for everyone!

To be clear though, this path isn't for everyone. It takes more than a love (or obsession) for Disney. It takes consistency. It takes putting yourself out there even when it feels weird. It takes patience and a thick skin. BUT...

If you're the person who:

• Plans everyone's trips
• Gets way too excited about building itineraries
• Loves the details many overlook
• Can't get enough WDW news and reels

...then this might not just be a hobby for you either. If any part of this is hitting a nerve for you, don't brush it off. That feeling in your gut is there for a reason. Good things happen to those who go for it! (I'm looking at a print on my wall that says that as a I type.)

You probably know about my Agent Prep Program, but to be honest, I don't want you to enroll in that. Not yet. Start with the $47 Agent Prep Preview Workshop. It's basically Module 1 of Agent Prep and it covers the technical stuff you really need to know and understand BEFORE diving in with both feet. No need to invest real time and money into something that turns out, isn't really right for you. This workshop drops the truth bombs and tells it like it is. 

So yeah, no pressure or weird sales tactics -ick that's NOT ME. Just a real look at whether this path could make sense for you. Like I said, it's not for everyone. But if you're curious, here's where you can find out:

I'm not one to steer anyone wrong. I do believe this will be $47 well spent. In fact, if you end up enrolling in the full program at some point, you'll get that amount credited toward the full tuition. I stand by my word, I just want to help you if this dream is your dream too.💛
