When starting a business as a travel advisor, attracting your first clients, earning a commission, and managing everything else takes time and energy. The compensation part of that equation can be especially difficult in the first few years, so hiring an assistant or building a team for your agency can be the absolute last thing on your mind. When is it right to take on the responsibility for paying someone else? How do you start that process? And how do you know when you’ve found someone that fits into your business?

On this episode of Masters in Travel, Whitney is joined by two experts, Kate Sullivan and Tatiana O’Hara. Kate Sullivan is the founder of Anthology Travel and has backgrounds in litigation, marketing, and event planning. Tatiana O'Hara is an agency and team operations coach who works with business owners to create a scalable structure and team, establish an autonomous culture, and fully step into the role as CEO. Together they dive into the details of what it looks like to build a support team around yourself as an entrepreneur and how to find your people.
