A 6-Week Journey to Getting Unstuck and Releasing your Inner Entrepreneur

 

"I have done the Travel Coach Certification Program and loved the accountability and information I received through it. Now that it's over, where do I go from here?"

"I've started my business and done all the right things, so why do I still feel stuck?"

"I've launched my travel business, but I'm struggling to sustain the momentum and growth I initially had.

"Navigating the complexities of the travel industry while trying to keep my business afloat is a constant challenge."

"I've invested time and resources into starting my travel business, but now I feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the next steps."

"I've hit a plateau in my travel business, and I'm unsure how to break through and reach the next level of success."

"As a new travel business owner, I feel isolated and crave a supportive community to bounce ideas off of and share experiences with."

"I've tried various marketing strategies, but I'm struggling to effectively promote my travel business and generate consistent leads."

"I'm feeling stuck in a cycle of day-to-day operational tasks and struggling to find time to work on strategic initiatives for business growth."

You're probably wondering if we are quoting you aren't you?

We're not but, we are also not surprised that you can completely relate.

Starting and growing an online business is honestly one of the hardest things that you can do and if you don't have the right support and people around you, it can be that much harder.

Even if you do have a partner, a best friend, a parent, or others who do support you, it's still really hard when they don't actually understand what your vision, goals, struggles, frustrations, needs, and accomplishments are.

Mentorship, knowledge, and visibility are essential for fast growth in business. The Travel Thought Leaders Circle is a six-week program that combines these key ingredients to evolving and maintaining your business in a way that is authentic to you.

Join an intimate, small group of fellow travel business owners of all kinds including travel-focused coaches, wellness professionals, and business leaders to gain insight, direction, peer-to-peer support, accountability, and clarity for your business journey.

This tight-knit community ensures you get the guidance and attention you need. Not only does it aim to boost your business momentum, but it is also intentionally designed to unlock your inner thought leader, propelling you to take things a step further. If you want to break free from stagnation and realign with the core purpose that inspired your business journey to begin with, this is the place to be!

Stay tuned to see who our amazing guest experts and mentors will be!

Why Work With Us!

 

Hi, I’m Sahara Rose!

 

I’m a travel and business coach to ambitious travelers.

Being by the ocean is in my Aquarius nature which is why after graduating with a degree in tourism, I was feeling anxious, confused, and unfulfilled.  Settling for just any job, climbing the corporate ladder, and doing what was expected after college never felt right for me. 

I wanted so much more out of the life. I wanted to explore, find myself, and be happy.

That’s when I decided to pack a backpack and set off on a decade-long adventure of traveling the globe to over 84 countries by the time that I was 30.  I struggled for years trying to figure out what career I wanted in the travel industry. I believed that my travel experiences and knowledge was more valuable and lucrative than just travel blogging and doing bookings. 

I wanted to make an even bigger impact on the lives of others through my passion for travel I believed in the healing power of travel and that we all travel for deeper reasons.

After becoming a Wellness Travel Coach and a certified Transformational coach who focuses on the wellbeing benefits of travel both in and out of the corporate world and hosting travel coaching workshops around the world, I wanted to help other travelers pioneer their own path to having a travel-centric business that aligns with their authentic travel experiences and how they made an impact in the lives of others through travel.

I have paved a path for myself and my name in the huge industry of Business Travel Wellbeing which has landed me partnerships, opportunities, paid speaking gigs, free trips, incredible mentors, and more. My unique approach to wellness travel has helped me gain recognition globally by some of the largest companies out there.  I have stood on stages besides travel managers and business executives from companies like Microsoft, SnapChat, Amadeus, Booking.com, Pinterest, Tesla, and more.

As the creator of the Travel Coach Certification Program, I spend my time coaching and mentoring passionate travelers of all genders all around the globe through my programs, masterminds, and membership site. I have coached and trained hundreds of travel coaches around the world.

I have been mentioned and featured for my travel and business expertise in numerous well-known publications and podcasts including Thrive Global, Forbes, Skift, Yahoo! Finance, USA Today, Business Insider, Travel Weekly, and Conde Nast Traveller.

I turned my most popular budget travel blog post into a published book on Amazon and I gave a TEDx Talk on the power that travel has on building happier and more united communities in 2022.

I was also named one of 2023's Most Influential Women in Travel by TravelPulse.

I can often be found lounging on a beach somewhere in the world or spending time with my adopted pup Sophie!

I can to help you put purpose to your wanderlust, live your dream lifestyle, and have the travel career that you envision but, it is in your hands to take action.

 Hi, I’m Claire Burt!

 
Growing up in Toronto’s east end immersed me in a variety of cultures from a young age. When I think about my first taste of travel, I can still feel the excitement and anticipation of those early morning airport waits as my family and I got ready to head off to Florida or Mexico. My sights were set on teaching as a career until the age of 16 when I had the opportunity to embark on a World War II based history trip through Western Europe with my high school. My first time out of North America truly sparked the travel bug within. This realization would soon change the direction of my life path. 
 
When I graduated high school, I decided to put university on the backburner as I saved for a gap year trip. I embarked on a tour through the UK and Ireland where I met other young travellers from around the globe, many of whom were Aussies. Ten days backpacking through Italy followed the tour and six months later, I was off again. This time, I set out on a year-long working holiday in Australia. 
 
I continued to defer my acceptance to the University of Toronto’s Psycholinguistics program and it soon occurred to me that I wanted to pursue this love of globetrotting as a career. I squeezed in one more adventure, a trip to Peru, before studying for a diploma in Tourism and Travel Services Management. My studies in that program inspired my decision to bridge the gap between learning logistics and leveraging the innovative potential that the industry has to offer. In the pursuit of embracing thought leadership in travel, I took my education to the next level by becoming an ICF-accredited travel coach and a certified Transformational Travel Designer. 
 
Now, I operate under my brand Your Travel Analyst as a Project Specialist and Integrator partnering with award-winning, six-figure travel businesses, helping them brainstorm innovative ideas, streamline their operations and bring their paradigm-shifting visions to life. From orchestrating program coordination and cultivating impactful community engagement to spearheading event planning from ideation to execution, working with travel industry disruptors means that no two days are alike for me!
 
Throughout this program, I'll reveal the art of cultivating meaningful industry connections, unveil the secrets to crafting life-changing travel experiences, equip you with the skills to strategically document and optimize your business operations and empower you to curate and embrace your entrepreneurial wellness toolbox so you can unleash your full potential!

"It has been such a support to have Sahara there to make me think about my own story and how my unique voice can pave the way toward my future as a travel coach. To be honest, I didn’t think my backstory was worthy. But then something clicked when I tuned in to one of her Facebook Live sessions. From that moment everything started to fall into place with my concept. Sahara walks her talk and goes that extra mile. Her constant words of encouragement to show up and get out there even when things are not perfect are what puts her into a special class of mentors. What I value most lately, though, is the travel coach community – a group of like-minded travel souls who share a passion for taking our careers to the next level. I’ve finally found my tribe thanks to Sahara."

"Sahara has helped me clarify my vision for that I wanted for my Travel coaching business, and keep me going when my motivation was flagging, with specific direction and guidance. I am thrilled to be part of her beautiful soul tribe and inspiring community, which she bought together at her Thrive through Travel event. It is a testament to the people that Sahara attracts. She has created a gorgeous energy, and a space where you can be vulnerable authentic. Since I started working with her, Sahara has consistently levelled up which has compelled me to level up. Thank you for being an amazing mentor Sahara!"
