Dear Travel Agent,

You have read my previous posts about how search engines can help travel agents. Also, about how specializing can also help your business. Now, I want to focus a bit on finding the real keys of success in the midst of so much input from social media outlets.

I personally use Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Not only do I post on these sites, I also take the time to read and like other people’s posts.

If you are like me, I mean, a human being, sometimes you wonder, “Why couldn’t I have had that idea?” or “Why can’t I look like that person?” and so on. For a minute –  or even longer – you feel down on yourself, and wish you had more followers, or think about what you can do to improve yourself.

This is a normal feeling; even the people who we consider to be the most successful sometimes feel that way when they compare themselves to someone else.What is not healthy is to beat yourself up for too long, to the point of giving up, or feeling like a nobody.

The best thing to do at those times, I have found, is to close the computer. Stop staring at social media sites. Go, close your eyes, take at least 3 deep breaths. After that, start counting all the blessings in your life. Then, as both a business person and as a human being, think of all your best qualities (not as compared to anyone else) and figure out how you can you show YOUR qualities to your prospective clients and clients.

Be your best self and promote those things until you are “blue in the face” and until the world can see the real you!

Be your best self, and continue to count your own blessings.

This is the key of success.

I know you will agree with me.
