Today’s guests are Dustin and Alison Braune, owners of iTrip Vacations.

iTrip Vacations is a short-term property management company. They provide vacation rental owners and guests world-class services through a proven property management program in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Boerne, and the surrounding area.

When asked about the decision to research and educate themselves on small business ownership, Dustin, referring to his corporate job, says, “I was working very early in the morning and would come home late at night. I thought to myself, if I can do this for someone else, I can do this for myself.”
Regarding spouses in a business together, Alison says, “Spouses need to support each other no matter what, but when you open a business together, it is all-consuming. It is from sun up to we are laying in bed and still talking about things, or the phone will go off and your spouse must be onboarded no matter what business.”

Dustin says there is more out there than just Googling franchises. He says, “You start to learn about different brands and talk to them, understanding the support levels of a franchise system, because it's one thing to invest in a business but you want to be able to get that support …somebody who will pick up the phone at 11 o’clock at night.”
