So we're going to tie it all 17 00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:09,180 together today.

All the details are there 25 00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:33,240 regarding how you can send us a little bit of information. And 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,060 we will schedule a time to reach out to you and set a time to see 27 00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,930 if the 2x is a good fit for you. All right. Let me tell you about 28 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,320 an by the way, I geek out on this, I used to watch all the 29 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,080 travel shows, I don't watch it as much anymore. Because I think 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,570 we have such a mix of different cable today, it's not as easy to 31 00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:52,500 go find the travel shows that I love that it was such an escape 32 00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:59,790 for me and I started traveling old was I when I first might 33 00:01:59,790 --> 00:02:02,370 took my first international trip, I was in college and I 34 00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:06,450 went to Germany, and have loved traveling ever since. So this is 35 00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:09,810 especially near and dear to my heart, and is the founder and 36 00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:14,040 owner of Premier Travel, a boutique travel agency located 37 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,840 in Luxembourg, Wisconsin, where luxury travel is designed by you 38 00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:22,350 which Ann's going to explain what that means to us. And helps 39 00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:25,410 people who are totally confused or unsure about how to plan for 40 00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:29,070 a trip of a lifetime to actually experience a perfectly planned 41 00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:32,490 trip and create a lifetime of memories, which is what we all 42 00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:35,160 want. Because it's it's a little overwhelming when you think 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040 about that first European trip or that third trip that you're 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,220 going on. But you would love some support. So and let's just 45 00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:44,580 let's dig in. So tell us a little bit like what what's your 46 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:48,600 story? What, what brought you into the love of travel and into 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,040 your own business? 48 00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:53,700 Anne Kulhanek: I kind of came in sideways. I had a friend who 49 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:58,680 wanted to open a travel agency and I said, Oh, why not? And had 50 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,010 never really traveled before that. We were in business 51 00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:06,750 together for about two years and then decided to part ways. And I 52 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,040 ended up finding an office space or a building in my hometown and 53 00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:18,210 put up a sign and started started premier travel. 54 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,210 Ursula Mentjes: So have you traveled much before that? Or 55 00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:21,870 was it just this 56 00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:26,640 Anne Kulhanek: Desire to travel desire I was I love helping 57 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,970 people. And a travel agent. That's what you're doing is 58 00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:32,970 you're helping people. And that was back in the time before 59 00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:35,850 everybody had a home computer. The internet didn't exist. 60 00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:39,600 Right? So you called on the phone and a travel agent 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840 traveled everywhere. So when you came, you know, when a client 62 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,440 came in, you could say oh yes, I've been there. And this is 63 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,350 what it's like and this is a good hotel or this isn't. So it 64 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:51,780 was a very different world at that time. 65 00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:55,350 Ursula Mentjes: Yeah. A more innocent world right in many 66 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:57,840 ways. So one of the things in your bio and we talked about 67 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:07,800 this at the beginning you said where did it go? You said you 68 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:15,630 help people find their? Their their trip right their trip of a 69 00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:18,420 lifetime or create those memories. And you said we're 70 00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:22,350 luxury travel is defined by you and let me tell you I bought out 71 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,760 this is one of my fine china cups. Okay, I don't I do drink 72 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,420 tea out of these often or a little decaf coffee. I like 73 00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:33,540 these. But I brought it especially because there's 74 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:38,310 something about travel that feels so luxurious for me even 75 00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:41,550 like people complain about getting on a you know, a flight 76 00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:44,760 that's like a commercial. I don't care put me in the back of 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,610 the plane. You put your back by the bathrooms and I don't care. 78 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:50,670 That is a luxury experience. I love everything about travel. 79 00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:54,000 And so even in my workday, I like to bring a little bit of 80 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,550 that luxury to it because it feels it feels like an 81 00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:59,790 experience right and to me travels and experience. So what 82 00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:03,480 is that? mean to you when you say that about luxury travel? 83 00:05:03,569 --> 00:05:07,769 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, we believe luxury is defined by you. And 84 00:05:07,769 --> 00:05:11,399 what's luxury to one person isn't for another. And it's so 85 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:16,019 funny. One of the first things I learned in working with clients 86 00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:19,259 is when they say they want luxury. And then you have to ask 87 00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:23,789 what is luxury? And one lady in my mind, I was thinking, you 88 00:05:23,789 --> 00:05:27,359 know, penthouse suite, you know, five star resort, just said, Oh, 89 00:05:27,359 --> 00:05:30,269 Luxury to me is having fresh squeezed orange juice in the 90 00:05:30,269 --> 00:05:36,059 morning. Oh, wow. Okay. So just like you got to get out of your 91 00:05:36,059 --> 00:05:39,059 head and what you think of something. And when you're 92 00:05:39,059 --> 00:05:42,419 working with people, it's find out what it is that they see as 93 00:05:42,419 --> 00:05:47,279 luxury. And for every one is different. And it's not about 94 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,059 the money you spend or level of service, it is what's important 95 00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:56,429 to you. And that's what we work on is helping to dig into what 96 00:05:56,429 --> 00:05:59,699 our clients want, and then make sure that we have that included 97 00:05:59,699 --> 00:06:00,239 in their trip. 98 00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:02,580 Ursula Mentjes: Yeah. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing 99 00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:05,850 that. It's, it's so true. And it's like, it's just like in our 100 00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:09,480 business, right? I mean, we, I'm a big believer that in my day to 101 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,090 day business experience, that I want to have that luxury 102 00:06:15,090 --> 00:06:17,250 included in different ways, whether it's a special coffee 103 00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,950 cup, or whatever it is, right? And so for our listeners, like 104 00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:23,790 how do you create luxury every day? And definitely leave it in 105 00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:26,910 the comments below. I'd love to hear like, what, what feels 106 00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:30,090 luxurious to you. Like, what are those experiences? Because 107 00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:33,360 that's, you know, and and I'm curious about this too, because 108 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,900 to me travel, travel, opens up the brain, it allows me to be a 109 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,410 dreamer again, it, it gives me a different perspective of the 110 00:06:43,410 --> 00:06:47,640 world. But I find that the experience of travel begins when 111 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,840 I book, not when I get on the plane, have like, what do you 112 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,120 think about that? You know, the anticipation of that? Is that 113 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,920 just me? Or is that kind of a common thing? 114 00:06:56,339 --> 00:06:58,889 Anne Kulhanek: Oh, that is so true. With the planning, it's 115 00:06:58,889 --> 00:07:02,069 the picking things out, it's the researching, it's reading 116 00:07:02,069 --> 00:07:06,629 reviews, it is all those things that lead up to your trip at 117 00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:09,449 that sometimes, you know, you'll spend more time in that. And 118 00:07:09,449 --> 00:07:12,749 then when you're on the trip, sometimes it doesn't turn out, 119 00:07:12,809 --> 00:07:15,629 you know, it's a great thing. But it's like done in a flash, 120 00:07:15,659 --> 00:07:18,029 but you have those months of planning, where you're 121 00:07:18,029 --> 00:07:25,109 anticipating and just enjoying the research and the thing that 122 00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:27,839 you're you know, looking forward to? Yeah, 123 00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:29,730 Ursula Mentjes: Yeah, it's like that whole that whole 124 00:07:29,730 --> 00:07:32,850 experience. So, so interesting. I didn't know this about your 125 00:07:32,850 --> 00:07:35,790 business, or maybe you'd shared at one time and it didn't click, 126 00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:39,240 but that that you've originally had a business partner, and then 127 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,580 you parted ways. And you continued. Now, what's 128 00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:43,800 interesting about that, first of all, business partnerships can 129 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,100 be very complicated. And they don't typically, they don't 130 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,880 always last if they do that's, that's really unique. And so 131 00:07:50,910 --> 00:07:55,380 what, what inside of you and made you say, even though this 132 00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:58,170 person is leaving, I'm going to continue what gave you that 133 00:07:58,170 --> 00:08:00,480 fortitude or that strength or that belief to keep going 134 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,070 because that could have stopped some people? 135 00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,759 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, we had different perspectives on things 136 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,179 and different values. And I think that was the hardest part, 137 00:08:09,329 --> 00:08:15,029 because she was a friend. And her value was she was 138 00:08:15,299 --> 00:08:19,079 financially motivated, and made all decisions based on finance. 139 00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:23,489 And I'm people motivated. And I made decisions based on people. 140 00:08:23,489 --> 00:08:27,329 And it was just as we were working together, it was just 141 00:08:27,329 --> 00:08:30,389 like, ooh, this just doesn't fit right. It was so hard. That was 142 00:08:30,389 --> 00:08:34,289 a very difficult decision to do. It took me a long time to 143 00:08:34,289 --> 00:08:37,469 finally figure out, okay, I can do this on my own, at least I 144 00:08:37,469 --> 00:08:42,749 can try. And if I fail, I fail. But I'm still in business 23 145 00:08:42,749 --> 00:08:47,579 years later, and she's not. But but she's, she's wealthy. 146 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,970 Ursula Mentjes: So she got what she wanted, you got what you 147 00:08:50,970 --> 00:08:53,910 wanted. And what's interesting is you said something really 148 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:56,130 important that I want to make sure we highlight for anyone 149 00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:58,710 who's either in a business partnership or has thought about 150 00:08:58,710 --> 00:09:01,290 a business partnership, is that if your values are not in 151 00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:05,520 alignment, forget it. It'll be it'll wear on you every single 152 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,390 day, which it did. So you made the decision to part ways when 153 00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:12,330 you were able to do that and to continue on all these years 154 00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:15,780 later, in that moment. So for someone who might be facing that 155 00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:19,170 decision right now, and or just facing a tough business decision 156 00:09:19,170 --> 00:09:21,960 that they're just like, like what gave you the strength to 157 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,220 say, I have to have this conversation and we're gonna 158 00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:28,800 part ways I'm gonna keep going like what inside of you gave you 159 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,850 the strength to do that? 160 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:34,040 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, I was scared to death. It's very hard 161 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,540 for me because I'm non confrontational. So I'm a people 162 00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:41,720 pleaser, and just want to make sure everybody's happy. But 163 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,900 yeah, I think it was just in my heart going into work. It was a 164 00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:49,430 drive and I just would just, you know, physically, I was just 165 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:52,280 getting rundown and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. 166 00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:55,520 And I just thought even if I've lost my investment and lose 167 00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:59,030 everything, it doesn't matter, but I can't stay in this heart 168 00:09:59,030 --> 00:10:02,540 space or this heads. face where I was, you know, it just wasn't 169 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,440 it wasn't worth it. 170 00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:06,830 Ursula Mentjes: Yeah. So it was more painful to stay there than 171 00:10:06,830 --> 00:10:09,290 it was to make the decision to move through the fear and do it 172 00:10:09,290 --> 00:10:14,270 anyway. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Well, and I'm just bringing this 173 00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:18,290 out, because we all face business decisions that are 174 00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:21,290 tough. But if we don't move through them, like, if you 175 00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:23,060 hadn't done that, you probably wouldn't have stayed in 176 00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:26,210 business. Like that might have just imploded at some point. And 177 00:10:26,210 --> 00:10:27,890 you would have been frustrated, it could have been a fight, 178 00:10:27,890 --> 00:10:30,440 like, a lot of things could have went south. So kudos to you for 179 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,920 making that decision early. And parting ways. And you know, you 180 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,880 both got you both continued your journey, which is beautiful. All 181 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:44,690 right. So you moved out on from that kept growing the business. 182 00:10:44,930 --> 00:10:49,130 So do you remember a moment where your monthly income and an 183 00:10:49,130 --> 00:10:52,100 easy way to think about is where there was more money left at the 184 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:54,950 end of the month, and there was bills, like all of a sudden your 185 00:10:54,950 --> 00:11:00,200 app? For you, 186 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,360 Anne Kulhanek: It took a long time, it wasn't in our business. 187 00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:10,970 We don't make money until after the person travels. So and you 188 00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:14,450 might book something a year out or so. And it's solely based on 189 00:11:14,450 --> 00:11:18,980 your sales. Yeah. So it was a long time, I invested a lot of 190 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:21,950 time and a lot of my own finances into keeping the 191 00:11:21,950 --> 00:11:29,570 business alive. And then was had debt for many, many years. But I 192 00:11:29,570 --> 00:11:34,970 can't say when was a time. One time though, I can say one time 193 00:11:34,970 --> 00:11:39,530 that was a that I can remember very clearly was when I had all 194 00:11:39,530 --> 00:11:43,460 debt paid off and had money in my savings account. So it's 195 00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:49,460 like, you know, finally you can just relax. And it's not like 196 00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:53,600 you're behind. And it's an amazing feeling to not have any 197 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,630 debt. And to know that you have money in the bank account. If 198 00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:59,630 something goes wrong, like COVID, I'm going to survive, I 199 00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:01,220 have money in my savings account. 200 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,160 Ursula Mentjes: Let's talk about that for a second. Because I 201 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160 know it affected our world, my world, a training world, but I 202 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,160 know I can't imagine what it was like in the travel industry. I 203 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,490 mean, how did you and your team work through those first few 204 00:12:14,490 --> 00:12:17,580 months of realizing, okay, there's no cruise ships, there's 205 00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:21,960 no Oh, and now they're closing hotels for I mean, what did how 206 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,040 did you work through that? 207 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,090 Anne Kulhanek: It was like a warzone. It had to because we 208 00:12:27,090 --> 00:12:31,380 had people traveling that we had to get home. We had people that 209 00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,840 were going to be leaving in the next couple of days or weeks 210 00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:38,040 that we had to figure out is this real? Is it just the flu is 211 00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:42,870 the last day you know, it was like just the unknown. And just 212 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:45,300 trying to help our clients through it. And it was like, 213 00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:50,040 Okay, let's get your money back if we can. And unfortunately, 214 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,030 some suppliers did not give money back, even though and you 215 00:12:54,030 --> 00:12:57,810 know, because I don't know, it's just that it was a pandemic, and 216 00:12:58,590 --> 00:13:01,800 even travel insurance companies said, Oh, didn't you read the 217 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,150 fine print? pandemic? 218 00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:08,610 Ursula Mentjes: Pandemic coming, right, 219 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520 Anne Kulhanek: exactly. Yeah. So everybody know, read contracts. 220 00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:16,350 But yeah, we learned a lot. And one of the things though, is we 221 00:13:16,350 --> 00:13:19,320 just because I had a savings account, got some government 222 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,950 loans in between to stay open, because we couldn't just close 223 00:13:22,950 --> 00:13:27,300 our doors and walk away. We had all this stuff in the stuff 224 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,700 Ursula Mentjes: booked out for years, right? Like you had stuff 225 00:13:29,730 --> 00:13:31,800 that was booked out that people were still like, Hey, I hope I 226 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,870 can go on my tour. I hope the pandemic ends. Remember for 227 00:13:33,870 --> 00:13:36,510 three years, we were like, nope, the pandemic ends. 228 00:13:37,290 --> 00:13:40,620 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah. So yeah, it was tough. And it's still it's 229 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,740 bouncing back now. But I would say financial, it'll probably 230 00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:48,660 take us a couple years to regain that. Just the I'm now in debt 231 00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:53,880 again. This alone, that kept our doors open. But I just felt it 232 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,900 was extremely important. Just that we had to fulfill our 233 00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:01,950 clients, we could just walk away and leave them hanging. So we 234 00:14:01,950 --> 00:14:06,270 had to fight for them to try to get those refunds for a lot of 235 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,660 travel suppliers gave you credit that had to be used within a 236 00:14:09,660 --> 00:14:12,180 year and then some of them extended it. So it was a 237 00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:16,140 bookkeeping nightmare as well. Trying to keep track of who had 238 00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:21,030 with what. Yeah, so But otherwise, we made it through. 239 00:14:21,450 --> 00:14:24,750 Ursula Mentjes: Yeah, you did it. You knew you would I just 240 00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:25,890 get the sense like you. 241 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,560 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, I was hoping that yeah, it was so 242 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,760 unknown to so unknown. And it lasted so long and all over the 243 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,420 world. Right, you know, yeah, so just crazy. 244 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:43,410 Ursula Mentjes: Yes. And yeah, you're like, it was it's 245 00:14:43,410 --> 00:14:48,090 interesting how in some ways it it pulled the world apart 246 00:14:48,090 --> 00:14:49,980 because we couldn't see each other but it brought the world 247 00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:53,490 together because it was a global pandemic, which is pretty 248 00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:58,200 unbelievable. Like when you look back at it. It's like I think we 249 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,410 all not think I know we all have PTSD. PTSD, especially Yeah, 250 00:15:01,410 --> 00:15:03,810 especially business owners, right. And of course, those who 251 00:15:03,810 --> 00:15:07,980 were we lost during that time and just a frightening time. And 252 00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:11,040 to your point, we all read contracts now. And we also know 253 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,170 what we would do if this happens again, which I think is very 254 00:15:13,170 --> 00:15:16,560 interesting. And you know, what else? What else is possible? But 255 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,440 cancel, cancel. We're all good, like health. We're coming into 256 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,810 times of great health and great travel. So what looking back at 257 00:15:27,810 --> 00:15:30,150 that time, because of course, we talk about money on the show, 258 00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:33,120 like what was the biggest myth or limiting belief about money 259 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,350 that you had to overcome? To continue to, like you invested 260 00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:39,600 in your business, you grew your business? Like, what did you 261 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,190 learn about money during that time, 262 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,540 Anne Kulhanek: um, I think I grew up in a, with a mindset 263 00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:49,470 that there's never enough, small Midwestern town, work hard for 264 00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:52,770 your money, there's people that are rich, and then there's a 265 00:15:52,770 --> 00:15:56,550 smart, you know, so there was a difference. And it was just 266 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:59,970 something that I don't think was ever said, but it was just what 267 00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:05,550 I believed, from growing up. And as I came into the travel 268 00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:09,300 industry, at the beginning, it was all about what's the 269 00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:12,360 cheapest price, but I think that might have been the mindset of 270 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,350 myself, as well as people who are attracting, no looking for 271 00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:19,980 our biggest trip or, you know, things and it was always what's 272 00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,820 based on price. And to be fair, in the travel industry, there's 273 00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:27,240 always advertisements about, oh, this is on sale, this is on 274 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,780 sale, week after week, they just name the sale differently. But 275 00:16:30,780 --> 00:16:34,470 it's kind of that's how they grab people's attention is by 276 00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:38,010 sales. So it does teach people to only look for the lowest 277 00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:44,430 price. But through learn working with people, I had people who 278 00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:47,250 had more of money, and they weren't concerned about price. 279 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,850 And just realizing that somebody told me something at the 280 00:16:50,850 --> 00:16:54,030 beginning of my sales career, it says sell out of their wallet, 281 00:16:54,060 --> 00:17:00,090 not yours. So just because I can't afford that. Around the 282 00:17:00,090 --> 00:17:04,950 world cruise doesn't mean that you can, you know, you can't, 283 00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:08,640 and that I can't help you to have the best experience 284 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,740 possible. So it's not about my, my finances, it's about theirs 285 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:15,690 and what they're looking for. Yeah, 286 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,580 Ursula Mentjes: and what they want, right what they're showing 287 00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:21,960 up for. And that's a big, so big, like, just, it is so easy 288 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,870 for us to shop out of our own wallet, just because we have so 289 00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:27,870 many limiting beliefs. And you know, like you I was brought up 290 00:17:27,870 --> 00:17:31,230 on farm, we had some points, I don't think we had any money. 291 00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:34,380 I'm not really sure. We had government food stamps at one 292 00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:36,690 point. But growing up on the farm, you know, we had like the 293 00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:39,840 cattle we had, you know, we had access to food. And that was 294 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,400 certainly a blessing. But the limiting beliefs My goodness. 295 00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:49,320 Yeah, and that's one of the reasons I do the show, and 296 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:51,510 especially for our women, business owners over the world, 297 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:54,030 because I find, especially with women, women tend to hold on to 298 00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:57,630 those limiting beliefs even more, and then, you know, tend 299 00:17:57,630 --> 00:18:00,150 to believe that they can't invest the money in the 300 00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:02,220 business, because it's for the family. There's a lot of 301 00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:05,730 limiting beliefs. And so thank you for sharing that and 302 00:18:05,730 --> 00:18:07,950 demonstrating. And you did say something really interesting, 303 00:18:07,950 --> 00:18:10,320 which I want to make sure you've said many interesting things. 304 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,840 But another thing I want to point out, you talked about debt 305 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,890 in your business, and you didn't make it bad. You just made it 306 00:18:16,890 --> 00:18:18,930 like there was debt in my business. And it was really cool 307 00:18:18,930 --> 00:18:21,060 when we paid it off and then going through the recession or 308 00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:24,450 no recession. Well, the pandemic which included a recession, 309 00:18:25,410 --> 00:18:26,940 there was some debt in the business, again, that you're 310 00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:31,230 paying off. And yet what do we know about investing in the 311 00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:36,030 business like, it can look like debt, but what can debt at times 312 00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:38,520 allow us to do our What did allow you to do? 313 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,790 Anne Kulhanek: The debt that I had well, through COVID is 314 00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:49,980 helped me stay open helped me keep my employee employed, and 315 00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:53,730 helped us just it got us through where money wasn't coming in. 316 00:18:53,970 --> 00:18:58,890 And it was beyond you think so we booked something. Finally, 317 00:18:58,890 --> 00:19:02,250 when COVID was over, we weren't paid for another year yet. So 318 00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:07,050 there's that lag time. So it did just it, it kept it kept our 319 00:19:07,050 --> 00:19:12,270 lights on. Earlier in my career. It was more of an investment it 320 00:19:12,270 --> 00:19:17,520 was to get up and running. But then I once remodeled my office. 321 00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:23,070 At one time I thought oh, luxury travel, I want to look and feel 322 00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:27,720 luxury. It's you know, and present luxury. So I remodeled 323 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,110 my office, because I'm a big believer in that. You have to 324 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:36,120 feel it yourself. Yes, I want. I want to feel luxurious, just 325 00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:40,050 like you were saying, I want to be surrounded by beauty. I want 326 00:19:40,050 --> 00:19:45,090 to look good. So remodeling, that office was a big part of 327 00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:49,290 that. Yeah. And just kind of made me feel it's not my 328 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:52,680 expectations up of how I'm going to interact with my clients. 329 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,990 Yeah, compared to what the office looked like before, 330 00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:57,330 Ursula Mentjes: which probably increased your competence and 331 00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:59,940 confidence sells people by your competence like when people come 332 00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:03,480 in And they're like, and helped me find this luxurious trip to 333 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,030 wherever or this this memorable trip, or I want to take my 334 00:20:06,030 --> 00:20:09,120 family here. And they come into that space. And you know, and 335 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,090 just how you present yourself. It's like you're competent, I 336 00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:14,070 know that you're gonna figure it out for me. And the other thing 337 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:18,240 that you project is that how much you care. So not only are 338 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,310 you gonna figure it out for me, you're gonna make sure it goes 339 00:20:20,310 --> 00:20:23,820 really well. And who doesn't want that? In a travel agency, 340 00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:26,100 right? Like from start to finish? I can imagine your 341 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,770 clients just love you. And I have a feeling your clients come 342 00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:32,520 back, don't they? Do? They do for years? And years and years? 343 00:20:32,550 --> 00:20:35,610 Anne Kulhanek: years? And years? And years? Yes, yeah. And for 344 00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:35,730 our 345 00:20:35,730 --> 00:20:37,140 Ursula Mentjes: listeners, I'm just pointing this out, because 346 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:39,510 this is one of the things right, like, there's a lot of ways to 347 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:42,060 get new clients. However, we were just talking about this at 348 00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:44,490 the CEO table this week, a lot of ways to get new clients, but 349 00:20:44,490 --> 00:20:48,870 sometimes it's like, it's much easier not sometimes it's just 350 00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:52,170 much easier to continue to work with the clients already in your 351 00:20:52,170 --> 00:20:55,650 space. So you're not constantly going out and just, you know, 352 00:20:55,650 --> 00:20:59,820 grinding. And I'm curious about that. I'm going totally off 353 00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:02,970 script, just so the world knows. I'm going off the script 354 00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:07,650 department with and how do you like, I mean, you're and share 355 00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:09,600 it, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna say this and share that 356 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,080 she has brownies in her oven right now. So there's gonna be 357 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,280 bigger that goes off. But I love that I bet it smells amazing in 358 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,830 your house. I love brownies. And she's taking them to an event 359 00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:21,990 tonight with her clients. So what I'm curious about is, what 360 00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:24,120 are the things that you've put in place to stay in touch with 361 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:26,670 your clients? Like, how do you let them know you appreciate 362 00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:29,820 them? How do you invite them back? Like, what are some of the 363 00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:35,190 tips that you have to continue to work with existing clients? 364 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,810 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, we are very hands on we meet with people in 365 00:21:39,810 --> 00:21:45,180 person on frequently, or if they're distance via zoom, and 366 00:21:45,180 --> 00:21:48,630 have kind of our process is to do a thorough interview with 367 00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:51,450 them. So we know exactly even though they say, oh, I want to 368 00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:55,590 go to Hawaii, you know, what do you have? Okay, tell me why do 369 00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:57,690 you want to go to Hawaii? What do you want to do? What are you 370 00:21:57,690 --> 00:22:02,100 imagining, you know, so once we figure that out with them, then 371 00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:07,440 we shop and give them options and let them make choices and 372 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,620 help them to do that, and then book it. And then frequently, we 373 00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:14,310 try to stay in touch between the time that they've booked and 374 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:17,310 made their deposit to the time that their final payment is 375 00:22:17,310 --> 00:22:20,550 ready, just keeping in touch, sending them additional 376 00:22:20,550 --> 00:22:24,900 information about why we can use that as example. Like things to 377 00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:29,070 do on Maui or whatever. And then when it comes to travel document 378 00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:33,360 time, if you're local, they'll come in, and we'll review all 379 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,210 the travel documents with them, explain everything, give them 380 00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:40,080 tips about how to get through the airport, some people don't 381 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,470 have their like Delta Airlines app on the phone will help them 382 00:22:43,470 --> 00:22:47,130 do that. Or there's some countries where we have to fill 383 00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:50,820 out forms that they just don't aren't comfortable doing. So we 384 00:22:50,850 --> 00:22:54,270 you know, we kind of hold their hand through the process. So our 385 00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:57,990 experience is usually quite well, good, they feel good about 386 00:22:57,990 --> 00:23:00,750 it, they feel comfortable and confident in their trip, they 387 00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:03,150 know that we're just a phone call away, they have our phone 388 00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:06,570 number to call us as well as people with feet on the ground 389 00:23:06,570 --> 00:23:09,540 where they're traveling. And then we usually check in with 390 00:23:09,540 --> 00:23:14,130 them after to find out how it went. And there is an email that 391 00:23:14,130 --> 00:23:17,430 we sent out as well, that just says if you enjoyed our 392 00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:20,520 services, and you have anyone else, you know who's interested. 393 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,330 And that almost comes naturally, because somebody comes home from 394 00:23:24,330 --> 00:23:27,870 a good trip. And they're like, Oh, my God last was excellent. 395 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,280 And you'll hear people we always ask, how did you hear about it? 396 00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:35,700 And it's, they'll always say, oh, so and so just came back, 397 00:23:35,730 --> 00:23:39,780 and they loved it. So our whole business is based on repeats and 398 00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:43,440 referrals. So we don't do a lot of regular marketing. 399 00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:45,270 Ursula Mentjes: I love that. Well, I want to make sure people 400 00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:49,260 heard that like so. So when you're happy clients come back 401 00:23:49,260 --> 00:23:52,560 from the dream trip of a lifetime, they get an email and 402 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,990 they get to share other people that might be interested, as 403 00:23:54,990 --> 00:23:57,540 business owners, we forget to ask for referrals we just do. 404 00:23:57,570 --> 00:24:01,230 And yet that is such an easy way. And not only that an easy 405 00:24:01,230 --> 00:24:05,370 way to bring in new clients. It's an amazing way because who 406 00:24:05,370 --> 00:24:08,820 do we hang out with people like us? And those are the same 407 00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:11,400 people that are going to love to go on that next luxury trip that 408 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,740 Ann's gonna plan. So just I just want to make sure our listeners 409 00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:17,640 are hearing that that full circle. All right, I got a 410 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:23,700 couple more questions. Um, so in any like, what are your tips on 411 00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:26,790 busting through an income ceiling? So if someone has grown 412 00:24:26,790 --> 00:24:30,000 their business, but they really stagnated, they're like, you 413 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,630 know, I hit the $100,000 mark, and every year and I just can't 414 00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:37,200 seem to bust through that. What are your tips, your experiential 415 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,040 tips for them? 416 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,790 Anne Kulhanek: I guess number one would be mindset and like 417 00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:47,040 goal setting. I know I had a big growth spurt when I finally had 418 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,040 like a weekend retreat and really dug into myself to figure 419 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,730 out what do I want and kind of have like a writing thing where 420 00:24:53,730 --> 00:24:57,330 it's just like, oh, let me write out what my ideal world would be 421 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,680 like. And what I would like to look like back. And once I had 422 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,000 that written down, it was amazing how things happened. And 423 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,680 before that, it just floated. Yeah, but so I can write it down 424 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,590 writing it down. Yeah. And thinking about it and saying, 425 00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:17,040 Yeah, this is a possibility. You know, sometimes you don't you 426 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,180 limit yourself to what you know, that you can hear possibilities 427 00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:23,760 outside and think, yeah, why couldn't that be possible for 428 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,020 me? So I think a lot of it is belief. And then I think 429 00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:31,530 probably the next is to stick to it to, you know, stick what 430 00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:34,620 figure out what way you can break through what you're really 431 00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:39,210 good at what you enjoy doing, making sure that you're aligned 432 00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:43,530 with what you really like doing. Yeah, and just push through or 433 00:25:43,530 --> 00:25:44,370 just keep trying 434 00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:46,439 Ursula Mentjes: to get the clarity and then the stick to 435 00:25:46,439 --> 00:25:49,259 itiveness. Just like keep going, keep going, keep going. I love 436 00:25:49,259 --> 00:25:51,899 what you said, like writing I agree with you like scripting it 437 00:25:51,899 --> 00:25:54,059 out, just journaling about what you really want. And what's 438 00:25:54,059 --> 00:25:56,939 possible, statistically, and this was from one of my last 439 00:25:56,939 --> 00:26:01,049 books, the belief zone, you are 99% more likely to achieve a 440 00:26:01,049 --> 00:26:06,899 goal simply by writing it down. 99% More likely, and yet. And do 441 00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:12,149 we teach this in public schools or private schools? No. I don't 442 00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:14,519 know why I'm sure there's some amazing teachers there that 443 00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:17,189 like, bring that information in. But it's something we should 444 00:26:17,189 --> 00:26:20,519 have been taught a long time ago. All right, I'm starting to 445 00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:27,599 wrap up here. What's your best piece of advice for a CEO who's 446 00:26:27,629 --> 00:26:29,939 out in the world? You know, maybe their business is creeping 447 00:26:29,939 --> 00:26:32,249 up on breaking through that first six figures, but they're 448 00:26:32,249 --> 00:26:34,589 just, they're feeling frustrated? Maybe they're having 449 00:26:34,589 --> 00:26:37,259 a slow month? Or they're just like, they're just kind of 450 00:26:37,259 --> 00:26:39,929 stuck? What What's your best advice for them? 451 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:45,180 Anne Kulhanek: I guess make sure that they're, they're working 452 00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:48,390 within their values. They're doing what they really want, or 453 00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:53,460 doing it how they want. And then just think of possibilities. You 454 00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:56,730 know, just I think oftentimes, it's more mindset than anything 455 00:26:56,730 --> 00:27:01,650 else, at least for me. It has. Yeah, yeah. And then I'll weed 456 00:27:01,650 --> 00:27:02,820 through. Yeah. 457 00:27:03,390 --> 00:27:04,950 Ursula Mentjes: So maybe heading over to their favorite coffee 458 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:07,860 shop and doing a little journaling or something, or just 459 00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:09,900 getting out of the house. Like I think sometimes we're getting 460 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,120 out of the office, I think sometimes we can get this narrow 461 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:16,350 view of the world. And we have to get out. All right. And so a 462 00:27:16,350 --> 00:27:22,350 couple final questions, who like who is? What do you think of the 463 00:27:22,350 --> 00:27:24,690 clients you work with? Like, how do you know, a client is a good 464 00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:28,170 fit for you? What do they enjoy doing? What are their values? 465 00:27:28,170 --> 00:27:30,180 Like? Who's sitting out there? That might be like, Man, I 466 00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:32,340 would? I'm thinking about planning a trip? Maybe I should 467 00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:33,780 give an a call? Who would that be? 468 00:27:34,469 --> 00:27:40,109 Anne Kulhanek: Who would that be? Someone who likes to travel, 469 00:27:40,139 --> 00:27:43,649 they're curious. They want to go and explore? Well, actually, 470 00:27:43,649 --> 00:27:46,469 most of them want to go and explore. Some people just need 471 00:27:46,469 --> 00:27:48,809 to get away and lay on a beach somewhere. You know, I honor 472 00:27:48,809 --> 00:27:52,199 that too. Because sometimes even just when you travel with your 473 00:27:52,199 --> 00:27:57,299 spouse, you're away from home, you can just concentrate on each 474 00:27:57,299 --> 00:28:00,239 other. It just it does wonders for relationships, whether 475 00:28:00,239 --> 00:28:04,049 you're in Italy eating wonderful food, or if you're laying on a 476 00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:06,839 beach somewhere. I think just getting away helps 477 00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:11,819 relationships. But otherwise, people who are excited want to 478 00:28:11,819 --> 00:28:14,699 explore the world want to experience something different. 479 00:28:15,389 --> 00:28:18,839 They don't want to do it themselves. They like me, I just 480 00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:23,219 want an expert to tell me what's good and what's not. Yeah, it's 481 00:28:23,219 --> 00:28:25,919 like, oh, just tell me I don't want to, you know, I don't want 482 00:28:25,949 --> 00:28:28,829 to figure it out for myself. I want someone else to do it. I 483 00:28:28,829 --> 00:28:35,489 trust them. And yeah, they're open to suggestions and ready to 484 00:28:35,489 --> 00:28:36,509 explore the world. 485 00:28:37,020 --> 00:28:39,510 Ursula Mentjes: I think that's a big one especially so of course, 486 00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:41,970 someone who want you know, you know, you want to travel, you 487 00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:45,480 know, you want it to be a great experience. And you don't want 488 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,820 to figure it out yourself. Like that's the big problem you 489 00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:53,820 solve, right? You help people figure out exactly where to go. 490 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,700 I mean, it really what you do is you listen first to understand 491 00:28:56,700 --> 00:28:59,340 what their desires are, what their dream vacation is, what 492 00:28:59,340 --> 00:29:03,090 that next vacation is, you ask I'm sure amazing questions. And 493 00:29:03,090 --> 00:29:05,970 then like you said, before you give them options. Here's one 494 00:29:05,970 --> 00:29:08,280 option, like, here's one way you could do this. Here's another 495 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,950 way, like what's most aligned with you, and then you let 496 00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:17,040 people figure it out. And PAC, which is amazing. So I know 497 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,350 someone in the worlds out there going, I want to talk to and so 498 00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:24,660 and tell everyone about the the free offer and how they can take 499 00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:25,470 advantage of it. 500 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,580 Anne Kulhanek: Yeah, if you go to our website, it's WWE dot 501 00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:36,120 premier travel with an S at the end.
