What does it really take to build a profitable travel business when your plate is already overflowing? In this episode, I sit down with April Peter, founder of The Vacay Way LLC, who hit $ 600,000 in sales in her very first year as a travel advisor, all while being a full-time RN, homeschooling her daughter, caring for her mom, and managing ADHD and anxiety.

April shares the messy, real, and powerful story of how she went from struggling with imposter syndrome to becoming a confident CEO. From charging fees and setting calendar boundaries to leveraging TikTok to attract luxury clients, April proves that you can design a travel business that works for your life, not the other way around.

Whether you’re new to travel or stuck in hustle-mode, this conversation will light a fire under your ass.
