Created and hosted by Stephanie Myers of The Stephanie Myers Academy in collaboration with this year’s sponsor, Travel Agent Finder, it's the travel industry's annual live summit experience for digitally savvy & aspiring travel business owners. Featuring amazing speakers sharing their insights on the world of entrepreneurship, stepping outside of the box, creating opportunities to stand out in the crowd and learning strategies on how to do travel in a whole new way.

26/03/2024

POV: I didn’t realise that when I wrote this down in my scrappy old notepad 2 years ago that it would be the core element behind everything I do in my business today 🫶

The immense trust I had in myself at the time to even get these words on paper took so much from me.

Like, WTF did these words even come from?

Let me tell you, once you start finding out what your core beliefs are - it doesn’t matter how many years pass. The motive and drive that got you here will never disappear 🫠

Fast forward 2 years down the track and planning our biggest event yet and these words have never rung more true 👏

Self trust, believing in yourself, being a thought leader and being brave to ruffle a few feathers to collectively move the needle in our industry is something seriously close to my heart.

But the responsibility to create radical change isn’t all mine and isn’t something I can do all on my own - we need to all believe we can do more, be more to live more 🙌

Wait… isn’t that why we’re in the travel game?

Now is your chance to stop doing the boring mundane things you’ve always done to make a buck and start being your true authentic self in-person, online and in your own life.

Become your very own MVP and step out into your best digital era yet and create your own unique travel brand that human beings can actually relate too 🤩

It’s your time to shine 💥💥

If you haven’t yet grabbed your ticket to the held on the Friday 3rd May, then you better be overseas!

Because there is simply no other excuse why this event isn’t on your radar ✈️

From one travel business owner to another - you’ve got a lot to loose by not investing in the right business activities.

Make good choices, ya’ll! 🤌

⚡️⚡️⚡️

What do you say … wanna make the travel industry f*cking epic again??

It’s been a very exciting and thrilling journey to attempt to re-create the highly successful TTS experience from 2023, with the same level of passion, authentic connection and deep-rooted knowledge for standing out as your own travel brand in the online world.

My initial thought process this year was to go bigger, better, bolder! 💪

Because we’re forever chasing that thing that is even more magical than what we’ve experienced previously, right?

But - what became clear in the months that followed is that previous delegates were still raving about our event, to which the decision to stay within our values of creating a live experience that truly connects to travel business owners and meets them exactly where they are in todays digital landscape, extremely easy!

To say it’s truly such a honour to release the names of this years line-up is an understatement as they have not only curated impactful business themselves, but are walking-talking examples of who we aspire to be in the entrepreneur landscape.

Their skillsets combined add enormous value to the travel industry at large, which only adds to the hype and excitement that surrounds this years summit.

[MINI TRAINING] 🛟 Save me for later!

The 4 Myths Stopping You From Working on Your Travel Business 🍸

In todays’ short (but sweet) letter to self, I’m busting those silly myths wide open, while on a mission to deliver some realistic strategies to help you thrive by working on your business, not just in it.

If any of these ring true 👉 SWIPE FOR YOUR QUICK FIX

As an experienced travel business owner, we know that making time to work on our business is a choice, not a luxury.

We also recognise that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to solving all of these myths (if only!), as it’s something we need to work on continuously if we want to create the impact and have the freedom we deserve in our biz.

The results truly speak for themselves as I reflect on our Travel Trend Summit last year.

To be honest?

I’m pretty stoked that even though these are just some of the reasons for us not to take action and not to make the time in our biz for the important stuff - our industry pals who attended the 2023 went through the exact same thought process you’re having right now.

💬 [exact testimonials from our past delegates]

Now is your opportunity to stop with the same old’ lame excuses and take action, turn those myths into reality and make 2024 the most productive and rewarding year ever!

In a few days our Travel Trend Summit tickets will go on sale - get on our waitlist to be the first to access our exclusive pre-release tickets!

*FYI: Last year, our pre-sale tickets sold out in under 48 hours! 😱

Head to https://stephaniemyers.academy/traveltrend for more details or comment ‘TTS’ below and I’ll send it to you.

🔔 Question: Do any of these myths resonate with where you’re at in your travel business right now? ✌️

A night I won’t be forgetting anytime soon and a highlight of my career in the travel industry. 👏

I’ve had so many people reach out to wish me well with a few stand outs who were ‘behind-the-scenes’ and experts on the judging panel. 🥹

To hear from these people directly about how strong all the other applicants were, and how impressed they were with mine - has been so rewarding all on its own. 🫶

I appreciate all the hard work that goes into running a business and mentoring others in the industry at the same time, so hats off to the finalists for their extraordinary input and professionalism in what we do 🙌

More to come on this, for now, a public announcement and massive thank you for everyone who was cheering me on from the sidelines.

Super stoked to get home and share the win with my son 👦🏼🏄🏼‍♂️
