Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley and Nathan Kaminski-Horak.
Ashley and Nathan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I do hair and makeup for weddings. And while I love my work, it’s not always the most consistent thing.
Sometimes seasonal, mostly only on weekends, so I was looking for something with flexible hours that could supplement my income. I have worked over 20+ jobs and never found anything that I’ve really really enjoyed besides Beauty and Horses.
Travel has always been a passion of mine, wanting to see new things and travel the globe. We were on a Norwegian Cruise with my husband’s family that we shared with Inteletravels yearly Travel Convention when I found out about the company.
At first, when we initially talked to someone on the cruise, it was just an idea. I could become a travel agent. I never got anyone’s contact information and didn’t think too much about it, just enjoyed the rest of the cruise. Four months later, it was something I was seriously thinking about, but I didn’t even know the name of the company!
A lot of Facebook stalking and hashtags later, I found Inteletravel! I got connected with my sponsor, chatted with my husband and we signed up! Since starting we have made back my initial investment ×10, gained a fantastic group of coaches, mentors, and friends, and actually help people live out their dreams!
Not only in traveling but finding a way to make money at something they really love!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As with all businesses, there are ups and downs. One of our biggest challenges was COVID-19 because travel shut down completely.
But our company was still booking 300 million dollars in travel that year! So even though business slowed for us, we had to make sure we were up to date on our certifications, and we were able to niche down to Honeymoons, Cruising, and Disney Travel!
We were able to prepare and market ourselves to be ready for when people started traveling again. And of course, they are!
