You know that feeling when you're doing all the marketing stuff but your business still feels messy and unfocused? 

That's because you're working forward instead of backwards, friend. 

I'm breaking down exactly how to reverse engineer your travel business by starting with your actual income goals and working backwards to figure out what you need to sell and how many sales you need to hit those targets. 

We're talking real numbers here, from figuring out if you need to sell 200+ luxury FIT trips or just 3 destination wedding groups per year to hit your goals. 

I'll show you why a $1,000 income goal actually means you need $1,620 in yearly income and $16,200 in sales, plus how to structure your business whether you're a Part Time Polly working 20 hours max or a Hustle Holly going for that six-figure year.
