If I could go back and start my travel creator business from scratch here’s everything I’d do differently — from setting up systems, to skipping the 10-page website, to actually treating my content like a business (not just a job).

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I knew this sooner,” this episode is going to hit home.

Today I’m diving into the real talk on what I’d change if I had to start my business all over again. Whether you’re just starting to monetize your travel content or you’ve been creating for years and want to operate like a real business owner, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reflect, and build smarter.

We’re talking about:

• Why you should make time to work on your business, not just in it
• The systems I wish I’d built earlier (and the chaos I could’ve avoided)
• Why you don’t need a five-page website on day one
• The power of “learning days” and how to actually use all those free webinars and masterclasses
• How to stop wasting time on tasks that don’t tie to your goals

Plus, I share why I created the Travel Creator Business Program — the only business-building community for established travel creators who want to save time, scale sustainably, and make a bigger impact online.
