A year ago, I started my own business, a small place with only two other staff members. I decided to begin a travel agency and devote my time to giving others the vacations everyone dreams about having at least once in a lifetime. Personal touches and excellence in service were key to give myself an advantage over the competition. It went well with a healthy start. I decided that I had to go bigger, do more, to get my name out there. After much deliberation, I reviewed several conference venues and found one that was holding a large trade show. The theme was “Life is too short. Pamper Yourself.” It was the perfect fit for my business. I have had so many referrals since that day that I had to expand and I am considering opening a larger location. Being at the right place at the right time meant success.
