Make Sure Your Home-Based Travel Agency Gets Respect

One of the big advantages of starting your online travel agency is that you run it from home. This is often a disadvantage, too, because neighbors, friends, and even family members might not take it seriously. They need to learn to respect your work time and to treat you as they would if you were leaving home for “regular” job. This means understanding that you can't take long social on the phone, entertain visitors, or take in UPS and Fed Ex packages for all the neighbors just because you're home during the day. Set your boundaries up front and enforce them.

I discuss boundary setting and enforcement in detail in my book, which is available for purchase on the Kindle and is free to borrow for Amazon Prime members. It tells you how to start your own home-based travel agency and become an Internet travel agent in just five steps.
