Nancy's Story
"Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid not to try"
My first cross country trip at 13 got me hooked on travel. My fascination with travelling led me to a career in travel and tourism. Through a small travel agency, I organized luxury leisure trips and corporate outings for small firms. Onsite at American Express, I was a Global Travel Specialist for a large pharmaceutical corporation. I was always updating myself with their education offerings, whether I was at work or not. I travelled all over the world when I wasn't working, which I believe is the best way to learn and experience different cultures. After Meeting and Incentives, I sold corporate travel at Carlson Wagonlit Travel. My own company, Honeymoons and Get-A-Ways, was launched in 2005 because I didn't have enough time to take care of my three boys, their school, appointments, sports, and daycare needs while working full-time. In reality, I've always wanted to start my own business.
After years of working for big businesses, I had my own vision for how clients might be better served when seeking a romantic getaway, my specialty. As an entrepreneur, you must always try new things! After I started my own company, I was requested to speak at a major travel event in New York City, which led to me becoming a Global Keynote Speaker. I created “Postcards from Nancy,” which streamed via ROKU previously. I have been featured in the New York Times, CNN, and Forbes, among other major media outlets. Since I do not have a PR or marketing representative, I seek out my own opportunities and introductions. “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary”
