Today we’d like to introduce you to Jacqueline Rivera.
Jacqueline, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey with Ladore Travel began June 2021, I was on a plane coming back from Dubai reading a book about mindset and money. It motivated me to start thinking about what truly makes me happy and if I can make money doing it. The only thing that came to my head was travel. So I went to google and researched “how to make money in travel”. I came across many youtube videos on my now mentor, Cyndi Williams, she was a very successful travel agent sharing her recipe to success. I was so intrigued and fascinated with the business. A week later, I interviewed for her 12 weeks course and before I knew it I was learning from the best. I announced my business on all socials on August of 2021. I booked my first trip three days into launching and it’s been nonstop ever since.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Lol no… I actually developed extreme anxiety throughout the beginning of launching my business. The pressure I put on myself to be the best right away and not feeling like I was doing enough really got to me. The biggest lesson I learned during this was ask for help. You do not have to struggle alone. Entrepreneurs put so much pressure on themselves to be a “boss” and “strong minded” but it’s okay to be vulnerable to people you trust. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my amazing boyfriend who was there for me through the tough times. My mom, dad, and sister who never judged me and were proud of me regardless of my success or failures. Surround yourself with love!
We’ve been impressed with Ladore Travel, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Ladore Travel is a travel agency aimed towards couples and group trips. Our most booked destinations would be “fun in the sun” tropical locations but we book anywhere in the world. Services include flight and hotel packages, excursions, and airport transfers.
What sets Ladore Travel apart from other travel agencies is my own real travel experiences. My audience is aimed towards couples and group trips because that is what I know best. I’ve experienced both kinds of trips many times and I feel confident in my ability to give my clients the best vacation they can have.
I am most proud of my marketing. I had the vision for how I wanted to market Ladore Travel right away. It’s authentically me and my taste. I love having a creative outlet where I can create videos of my trips and market travel in a different way.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Get a mentor! I would have reached my success no matter what but it saved me so much time investing in a mentor. I learned years worth of knowledge in a 12 weeks course. Of course, I am still learning everyday but I feel confident in my business and interacting with my clients way more than I probably would have without a mentor.
