How has your morning routine changed since you became your own boss? If you are starting your day the same way you did when you worked in an office, you might be doing yourself a disservice. That's because how you work now is going to be very different from how you worked for someone else. Your productivity and motivation is entirely dependent on you. Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of your workday. As an entrepreneur, it's up to you to develop a routine that helps you focus on, prioritize, and achieve your goals.

That doesn't mean you need to do a complete morning routine overhaul, though. Here are five simple tweaks you should consider making to your morning routine to set yourself up for entrepreneurial success:

The modern travel industry has changed drastically. The internet offers consumers many ways to search for travel destinations and decide on the ideal one for them. They can easily and quickly access information about different destinations, requirements to travel there, and other elements of the trip. And of course, consumers can independently book all aspects of a trip online from their accommodations to airfare and other logistics. In order to compete in this changing landscape, it's important for travel agents to offer personalized attention, time and money savings, insider destination knowledge, and other valuable services.
​
What this all means is that a travel agency business has to do more than it initially did to stay relevant and stand out from the crowd. It has to strive to offer value-added services to appeal to consumers.

This article provides ten ways to streamline your travel agency business to attain competitiveness and improve your bottom line and efficiency.      

When you're operating a solo enterprise, you need to ration your time wisely. Don't try to be everywhere or you'll spread yourself too thin. Identify the social media sites where your audience is most active. You also have to consider the particular needs of your industry. 

​Facebook, of course, has customers in just about every demographic so everyone really needs a presence there.  Travel-related businesses, for example, rely a great deal on visuals. Instagram and possibly Pinterest give you a chance to show off glamorous destinations and landscapes. If you do B2B marketing, LinkedIn is a must. Research your audience and test your results to determine which sites are worth your effort. ​

Goal-driven individuals have long sworn by the practice of making goals specific and measurable. After all, creating great goals is one of the keys to long-term success.

As a new entrepreneur, it can be tempting to assume you'll head in a million directions and achieve success in all of them. In reality, success looks different from that "all-directions" approach. You really want to be able to know which things matter to your success. By making goal-setting a habit, you have a place to turn when you reach a particular milestone to know where to go next.

Follow these steps to take your big ideas about your new business and turn them into specific items you can check off your long-term to-do list. ​
