Episode 474: Revenue vs. Profit: Is Your Travel Business Actually Making Money?

The Business You Actually Want Series | Part 2

Are you booking more travel but actually making more money? Big sales numbers don't always equal a profitable travel business!

In this episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, Lindsay Dollinger breaks down why travel advisors need to look beyond revenue and focus on profitability, efficiency, and building a business that supports the life they want.

In this episode, we're talking about:

Why high travel sales don't always mean high profitsCalculating what you're actually earning per bookingCharging planning fees and valuing your timeChoosing profitable clients and saying no to the wrong opportunitiesFinding your "enough number" and setting realistic income goalsWhy more bookings aren't always better

Your challenge: Calculate your desired take-home income, business expenses, average commission per booking, and how many bookings you actually need to reach your goals.

Remember: Don't build a six-figure business that pays you like a part-time employee and stresses you out like a CEO!
