Yeah I know, I've heard it a million times. I don't know how to build a website, how will I market my business? I've never had a business before. I don't know how to sell anything. Well because we are a business in a box ONE OF THE PERKS is that you will get your very own website that friends, family and strangers alike can book their own travel on without your help. So for all those PEOPLE YOU KNOW that are the "I'm gonna do it myself people", just give them your link and if they want to book that hotel in South Beach at 2:00am without you, guess what? YOU STILL GET PAID!!!

In 1980, after being turned down by 32 banks, Cathy Hughes and her then-husband Dewey Hughes bought WOL, a small Washington, D.C. radio station. As the debt piled up, Dewey gave her an ultimatum: move to California with him or get a divorce. She chose the station, filed for divorce, and bought out his share of the business. Then she lost her home and moved into the station. "I washed up in my public bathroom, I slept in a sleeping bag in my radio station office," she later told Radio Facts. For about 18 months she cooked on a hot plate while turning the empty side of the building into a makeshift apartment. In 1999, the company she built, Radio One (now Urban One), went public, making her the first African American woman to head a publicly traded company. What would you sacrifice to keep something you built?

I don't know who needs to hear this but I'm sure many of you can relate to or know people that do this and can see it based on that persons life situation. #lessonslearned

We've all been to work conferences or corporate events and thought to ourselves "mannnnn somebody is cleaning up on this deal" well guess what Corporate Meetings and Events are projected to make up $510 billion of spending in the US by 2030. That means more companies (large, small and everything in between) are back to investing in events and over 66% of companies raised their event budgets in 2025. From small advisory board meetings and executive retreats, to large multi-day, multi-destination programs with thousands of attendees.
