Today we have on guest, Korrine Johnson, talking about her path from high-end optical sales to travel advising, co-founding an agency, and later selling her half to focus on consulting, trainings, and cruise-only sales. Korrine explains building systems over 10+ years, launching Travel Biz Boss in 2018 and Cruise Business Blueprint in 2024, and how adopting TravelJoy plus a part-time VA helped double revenue by reducing repetitive tasks. She discusses niching into cruises after burnout from broader luxury/FIT work, using numbers and intuition to guide the shift, and marketing cruises by focused messaging and clear value beyond booking. Together we cover automating client communications, managing expectations, selective cruise-line booking, using AI/Gamma to create personalized port guides, VA outsourcing ideas and sources, and Korrine’s routines and move to Mexico!

In this episode, Lindsay shares one of her FAVORITE year-end traditions—the CEO retreat. And no… it doesn’t require a fancy hotel, a five-figure mastermind, or a flight to a tropical destination.

How to Choose Your 3 CEO Priorities for the New Year Too many goals = diluted magic. Lindsay teaches you how to set focused priorities that support real momentum. 4. How to Map Out Your Profit Plan for the Year Design a simple quarterly roadmap so you know what you’re launching, when you’re selling, and how your offers support your revenue goals. 5. Why Fun, Magic, and Joy Should Be a CEO Strategy Sprinkling in more ease, play, and magic isn’t optional—it’s fuel that helps you create a sustainable business you actually love. 🌟 Your CEO Retreat Challenge Schedule your retreat!
