Bienvenidos, and welcome to another LUNA MAGIC podcast solo episode with your host, Mabel Frias. Today’s focus is on preparing to travel for an extended amount of time as a business owner. Here are 6 tips (business and personal) for entrepreneurs who are traveling:

Business

1. Trust - Trusting my team to take care of the business when I’m away.
2. Content Planning - Marketing through social media is essential these days, and this trip is an opportunity to gather interesting content. 
3. Networking plans - Before, during and after the event there are new business connections to make and industry friends to re-connect with.

Personal

1. Emotional & mental preparation - Traveling takes a toll on you. Mental and physical preparation help to minimize fatigue.
2. Childcare - If you’re a parent, there’s coordination you have to do to make sure your children are taken care of and their schedules are not disrupted.
3. Fun - don’t forget to have fun! Making time to explore a new place and create memories is a must.
