Hello, friend!
How is your July going?
Mine has been busy but also positive. I’ve been doing a lot of inner work and it is slowly but surely starting to reflect in my external world ~ yay!
Mindset is an incredibly important part of being a travel content creator. You deal with fear, imposter syndrome, doubt, and rejection on a regular basis. It’s part of the package in this industry, unfortunately. You need to have a thick skin and believe in yourself and what you have to offer.
A strong mindset is essential for travel content creators. It shapes their beliefs, attitude, and approach, influencing their success. With a positive and resilient mindset, creators overcome challenges, embrace growth opportunities, and connect with their audience. It helps conquer self-doubt, fuels creativity, and enables them to create impactful content.
Mindset work is the foundation for sustainable success in the travel content creation world.
So, this is something that I’ve been actively conveying to the 60 awesome travel content creators taking part in the Local Tourism Pitching Challenge in the Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs membership.
Mindset work in the form of affirmations/mantras and more have been woven into the entire challenge and the participants who are actively taking part in the tasks and completing the assignments are already starting to notice the positive effects in their confidence levels.
Interested in joining the challenge?
Well, I’ve closed the doors for free access to this pitching challenge (as it wouldn’t be fair to the participants who have been giving it their all from the start of the month). But you can still get complete access to it (and all the monthly themed future challenges) if you join the Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs membership for only $9/month.
Otherwise, I’ll be making the Local Tourism Pitching Challenge available to purchase as a separate course in August.
Looking for another way to connect with travel content creators or another avenue to grow your audience/reach and attract brand sponsorships?

What is it? Difficult to explain. It’s a new app with a weirdly satisfying, throwback to how Facebook felt in the early days. It’s a mix between Twitter and Instagram with more of a focus on text than images or videos. Just the way I like it.
Why I love it? Currently, there's no pressure to create anything truly thought-provoking. No one is judging you. No one has it figured out yet. Plus, you actually get to interact with creators with huge followings on IG because everyone is still growing.
Now that all the updates are out of the way, let’s move on to…
