Today we’d like to introduce you to Janee Jackson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Janee. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I began my travel business in March 2018. I didn’t pursue it as heavily as I should have and then decided February of 2019 to push it harder. Since then it has begun flourishing more than I could ever imagine! To the point that I will be making it my full-time career within the next couple of years!
I’ve always loved to travel! More than that I love to encourage others to travel and travel on a budget! I love to help my clients understand that they can experience the world with planning, preparation, and commitment. That has been my motivation and has assisted with helping my business flourish! It is important for people to know that I see myself as a travel advisor and not just an agent. I’m here to guide and help others make their dream vacations become realities!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Starting and owning a business is no smooth road by any means! During the course of building a business, you still have to deal with life! I’m a mother of nine and a wife, as well as work full time in corporate. Learning how to balance life and entrepreneurship and keep the motivation and drive to keep going at all times takes dedication! Some of the struggles with owning a travel agency are 1) people not understanding the benefit of using a travel agent over booking their vacations themselves and 2) bringing in clientele and vacation requests consistently to build your income. Continuing to help others and showing the benefit of using a travel advisor will continue to build my clientele and help my business grow!
We’d love to hear more about your business.
My company is called No Matter What…Travel! I came up with this name because I started a T-shirt line about three years ago called No Matter What. I decided then that I am going to eventually turn No Matter What into an LLC and use it in different ways. All reflecting my passions and loves that I want to share with others!
Right now the main part of No Matter What that I am focused on is Travel! I am an independent travel advisor/agent. I plan all vacation types but specialize in Cruises, All-inclusive resorts, Universal Studios, and Disney resorts and cruises. I am known for assisting with providing amazing vacations that allow others to enjoy themselves to the fullest. What I’m most proud about with my company is the commitment I make to help others and bring joy to their lives. People tend to feel that they don’t have the time, money, or resources to travel because of bills, work, and life in general.
After speaking with me, they realize that it is possible and very feasible to make it happen! My true motivation that pushed me to fully pursue becoming a travel advisor was when my family and I took a cruise in Oct 2017. It was myself, my husband, seven of our children, my sister in law, her children, our cousin, and her children. My sister in law and our cousin both thanked me for getting it all together and really giving them that push to do the cruise. By getting it set up, explaining the payments, etc. That felt good and I loved knowing that I assisted with getting them there and fulfilling them with amazing memories.
My motto is “Making your travel experience a lifetime full of memories… NO MATTER WHAT!” This is what sets me apart from others. It’s more than just travel or a good time! It’s about creating lifetime memories and being able to carry that on with you, your children, family, and friends!
What were you like growing up?
I was always very bubbly, silly, love to sing and dance, loved gymnastics and flipped all over the place. I was also very ambitious and stubborn at times. Loved to help others and was also a risk-taker.
I’ve always known that working for corporate was not for me. Entrepreneurship has always been my desire since I was young!
