Become a Home Based Travel Agent

The E-Myth
By Tom Ogg

Recently at Travel Weekly’s Home Based Travel Agent show a couple of the most successful travel agent presenters mentioned that they got much of their business concept and motivation from a book written by Michael Gerber entitled “The E-Myth”. Since both of the agents were very impressive and have built formidable agencies, I made a note to myself to read the book.

As an author, I enjoy seeing how various writers get their points across and I have to say that Mr. Gerber does an excellent job of presenting his unique perspective. While much of what Mr. Gerber presents is rooted in “MBO or Management By Objectives” it is his distinctive way of relating to small businesses that makes “The E Myth” so unique and interesting.

What makes “The E-Myth” so relevant to home based travel agents is that it suppliers the necessary understanding of issues that face us all. It provides realistic and understandable solutions to problems encountered in growing small businesses that are generally started by entrepreneurs that are leveraging their personal skills as excellent travel agents. It provides an excellent road map from starting your business to growing your business in a meaningful and rewarding way.

Starting a new year is always a great time to visit your business plans and look forward. I would strongly suggest that you purchase a copy of “The E-Myth” as a Christmas gift for your business and your future. You won’t believe the insight you will gain into your agency.
