As a travel professional, you’re no stranger to busy schedules and constant demands. Between planning dream vacations for your clients and keeping up with your responsibilities, finding the energy to focus on your personal and business goals can feel like an uphill battle. The year is still young, but like most people who set New Year’s goals, you may have already lost motivation. They say by the end of January, 80% of people give up on their resolutions! It’s easy for that initial excitement to waver, but here’s the good news – you can reignite your spark and keep it burning bright all year long!

The Secret to Prioritizing Yourself in a Busy Travel Career

And, the fact that you’re reading this article means that you’re NOT one of the 80% of people who give up. After all, a resolution is an official decision, not a fleeting wish or a casual thought.

To keep that spark burning, I want to remind you that your health is the most important thing you own! If you aren’t healthy, it’s hard to accomplish anything that you need or want to. You have to be healthy to get up every morning and be the spouse, parent, travel professional, etc. that you are called to be. This is your year!

One of the biggest challenges I know travel professionals face is balancing their packed schedules while making time for themselves. When your days are filled with client calls, booking changes, and planning itineraries, it’s easy to put personal goals on the back burner. Add to that the lack of a clear plan for self-care or the feeling of being overwhelmed by big goals, and it’s no surprise that motivation can fade quickly. But you don’t have to stay stuck! 

Stay Motivated With These Easy Strategies

🌟 Break Your Goals Into Smaller, Achievable Steps

The first step to staying motivated is breaking your goals into smaller, achievable steps. Instead of focusing on a massive result, try setting small goals that fit seamlessly into your day.

Even tiny wins deserve to be celebrated because they build momentum over time. Don’t overcomplicate things by thinking you need to spend three hours on Instagram or that you have to spend all day creating reels!

Example:

  • Take 5 minutes to post a story about what you’re working on to stay in front of your audience.
  • Spend 5 minutes calling a few past clients to thank them for their business and see if they have future travel needs.

🌟 Prioritize Movement

Prioritizing movement is another game-changer to reaching your goals. It’s easy to stay glued to your desk, but a quick stretch, a short walk, or even a 10-minute workout can reset your energy and boost your productivity. That’s why on-demand workouts are a lifesaver for travel agents—they’re flexible, convenient, and designed for busy professionals like you.

🌟 Proper Nutrition

Of course, how you fuel your body matters just as much. Proper nutrition plays a huge role in your energy levels, focus, and overall well-being to succeed as an entrepreneur. If you’re like most people and you’ve tried everything on your own, following a program or getting a coach may be what you need to cross the finish line. 

For health and wellness, I recommend Arbonne’s 30 Days to Healthy Living to help you create sustainable habits that keep you feeling your best. Pairing clean, plant-based products with healthy choices is an easy way to support your goals without overcomplicating things.

🌟 Stay Connected to Your “Why”

Staying connected to your “why” is another essential piece of the puzzle. Maybe you’re working toward more time with family, a personal travel bucket list, or simply feeling healthier and more energized in your day-to-day life. Whatever drives you, keep it front and center—write it down, post it somewhere visible, and remind yourself daily why you’re doing what you do.

🌟 The Power of Accountability

Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of accountability. Whether it’s joining a community of like-minded professionals like Lou & Tami offer in their Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Travel Academy, finding a buddy to share your goals with, or partnering with a coach to cheer you on; having support makes all the difference. You don’t have to do this alone!
