It’s actually really simple.

I earn commission by booking travel online. Either for myself or for others. I have plans for taking this side of the business much further.

And then I have chosen to also help other people start their own business, and by doing so I earn a residual income every month, on top of the commission from booking travel.

The two companies, the host travel agency and the marketing company are completely separate companies, but work exclusively together, and what you decide to do with your business, is entirely up to you. Doing one doesn’t not automatically mean you have to do the other. But then the option of creating multiple income streams is not something to be sniffed at either.

The travel business sells travel.
The marketing business sells the travel business.

I’m building a different way of living and working and earning.

Right now, I’m focused on creating multiple income streams.

I work two part time jobs in a boarding school doing hours that fit around almost all the school runs, and I get school holidays off.

But, it’s not enough income to be sustainable anymore. And I’m done asking for permission to live my life and to be part of things that really matter to me.

So alongside life I’m creating more choice, more flexibility, more control over my time.

Because I don’t want to wait another 18 years (probably more by then), to find I don’t have the funds anyway to enjoy retirement. And there is plenty of enjoyment to be had right now while my babies still live at home.

So alongside life, I’m building a travel-based income stream (with longer term plans to expand into health and nutrition with qualifications I already hold and more still to work towards). But for now, it’s all about the travel. Travel is the vehicle that will take me to the life on my vision board.

Yes, it will take effort. Yes I will need to be consistent, but no, I won’t need to burnout. I won’t need to feel ‘on’ all the time. I won’t need a break from life.

I’m building something that fits around my life.

Success for me isn’t just money. It’s having the time, space and freedom to actually live.

I’m not starting over, I’m starting the rebuild intentionally.

I’m a woman in midlife who realised something didn’t feel right anymore.
Not because everything was wrong on paper, because it isn’t, but because I know I’m capable of more, for my family, but also for me.

Too much was structured around work, routine, and keeping everything going, making decisions based around a lack of options and not enough around living my life my way. Asking for permission, and it being denied.

And as my kids have grown older, that’s hitting differently.
Time feels more limited than ever, and it’s speeding up.

I don’t want to look back in a few years and feel like I’d just carried on when I knew there was something I could have done about it.

So I made a decision. I reset.
My health.
My mindset.
My direction.
My wealth.
Not perfectly.
Not overnight.

But properly, and on my terms this time.
I’m rebuilding with intention, discipline, and a clear idea of the life I want.
One that feels calmer.
Freer.
And actually mine. And I want to feel proud of myself as well as be the best role model for my girls. I want them to know that I tried as hard as I could with the chance that I had, and that I rerouted to change the outcome.

If you’re feeling that shift too,
you’re not alone. Follow along 🤍 by @alexslifeinprogress

Some mornings don’t look productive on paper.

A walk with the dog, a simple high fibre, high protein breakfast and half an hour in the gym with my eldest, who’s still recovering from her GCSEs.

Just doing things that help me feel healthier, happier and calmer.

This is exactly why I’m building an income that fits around my life instead of trying to squeeze my life around work.

For me, success isn’t about being busy.
It’s about having more choice over how I spend my mornings.

If that’s the kind of life you’re working towards too, you’re in the right place.

And that was a wrap for the 25/26 academic year.

Saturday marked the end of a very difficult and stressful academic year at my employed job.

This was the main course at our Y13 leavers’ ball, where Y13s, their parents and staff all come together to celebrate and close off their chapter and our academic year in the most beautiful way.

Food was great, band was great, and what’s even greater is that I’m now finished for the summer.

That’s why I took my two part time jobs there 13 years ago. To be able to do most of the school runs and be available in the holidays.

Unfortunately, the ever increasing crazy cost of everything means I am in more need of a supplementary income than ever, as the trade off for that career choice was a minimum wage. At my age. With dependents. With a cost of living crisis. Not. Great.

Enter my online business. Locking in for the summer.

What’s that going to look like?

You’ll have to follow along and see!

How is this already a week ago? And this morning I’m back in the cafe at swimming lessons.

It was an incredible day in London. Packed with training, motivational speakers, community and of course an after party.

I can’t wait to do it again in November.

Will you be joining us?

DM me for a chat if you’ve been looking for income, or community or anything in between…

Disclaimer: I’m off work today anyway. However, I did have a hospital appointment, I did need to pop to the shops and I did just want to have a bit of a stroll through beautiful, sunny Cheltenham for a bit, because…glimmers.

This is the kind of everyday time and location freedom that motivates me to want to share my travel business with others and help them create an extra income on their terms too.

No matter your situation, if you want more money, more time, more freedom to live life on your terms, then pop FREEDOM in
the comments and I’ll be in touch with more information on how you can start your own online travel business and earn through booking travel too.

Just listen to those birds. The crunch of my footsteps. I’m not a ‘listen to something on a walk’ kind of person. My glimmers are those sounds. Lost in my thoughts, while walking the dog after the school run, and conveniently ticking off getting a good chunk of my daily steps in at the same time.

I realised recently that I don’t actually want a hustle lifestyle.

I don’t want to wake up at 4am every day just to squeeze in fitness, work, business and life before rushing through the rest of the day exhausted.

What I actually want is more time, more flexibility, better health, more autonomy, financial breathing space, and to be present while my children are still young enough to want me around.

My eldest will be 18 in two years and that’s shaken me a bit. There’s so much I still want to be able to do with her while she’s still living at home.

I think so many women reach this stage of life and realise they’ve spent years surviving, waiting for “someday” to enjoy life properly.

So this chapter for me is about rebuilding things differently.

Health.
Confidence.
Income.
Freedom.
Energy.
Travel.
Slower mornings.
A calmer life.

Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But intentionally.

And maybe there are other women feeling exactly the same. ✨

Do you ever feel like money disappears as quickly as it comes in?

By the time the school trips, uniforms, food shop and clubs are paid for…there’s little (if anything) left at the end of the month. I know how heavy that can feel 💕.

That’s why I started looking for a way to bring in a little extra — not another stressful job, but something flexible, something I could weave into the school run, meal times, after school activities, my existing part time jobs and the gym.

And that’s when I discovered how to turn one of my desires - to take my family away more, into a simple side-income 🌍✨.

Even an extra £500 a month can make such a difference:
🌸 Covering the food shop
🌸 Taking pressure off the bills
🌸 Allowing space for those little family treats

This is exactly what we’ll be sharing in our Travel Business Bootcamp starting 15th September.

You don’t have to do it alone — you’ll have me, and a community of supportive women right alongside you 💕.

If you’d love to find out how it works, send me a DM with the word BOOTCAMP, and I’ll share the details 🌸

Spending a cosy Sunday afternoon working on some client quotes, with coffee on tap.

Perils of the business, finding yet more places you want to visit yourself.

Grateful enough to have a term-time job that allows me to enjoy a random, half-term Wednesday at the in-laws; whilst still wanting to build a life where this flexibility is possible everyday. by @alexslifeinprogress
