Hey, truth is this is not just a challenge
It’s 100 days of bold intentional, sales action documented in public
It’s one of those moment I didn’t see happening but on one of those afternoon after following up on the 84 businesses that requested a brochure from my last 400 calls in 4 days sprint
I became confused, wondering what the next thing to do was
I meditated for while and I knew how to proceed from there but that was not the only thing that happened
That moment birthed the 100 Journeys in 100 Days sales challenge
What they’ve told you about building in public or getting traction is not as it seems
Sometimes you find yourself just being evil enough to disrupt the status quo and get what you want out of the system
So, this is me, doing it scared
And documenting in real time.
I’m afraid
But I’m committed to doing it afraid
Bootstrapped, zero ads
Giving it my all through the rough and tough
100 days of intentional sales action from pitches to partnerships and I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes daily.
I had my first job at 14
Heck, I know how hard it is to build anything
But I was also tired of startup advice plastered all over the Internet telling founders if they don’t get traction in 6 months their idea is not worth it, I mean who makes the rules?
Then building from a developing country, it doesn’t get harder than that
It takes a lot of soul work to not lose yourself on the hill building something you may not even be sure will work
So, I’ve decided to do this to prove to myself what’s possible
To show myself, that even though it’s hard I can still disrupt an industry my way
And without traction I deserve to be heard loudly
That’s why I’ve decided to build with YOU watching perhaps on days I get tired your belief will keep me
Accountable.
Help me build more strategic building muscles
And be insistent
And maybe, just maybe, to remind you that you can too
Giorgio once told me I could become the Queen of Organic Marketing in the travel and tourism space
Maybe he’s right
So instead of waiting to be crowned, I’m building, testing and refining one intentional sales move at a time
I teach my community of travel agents, tour operators and travel advisors how to become legacy businesses
But it’s crazy Zago Tours right now sits at the intersection of “ I honestly don’t know.”
I just want more young travelers to have adventures where nothing goes wrong
I mean, we say it all the time
“ He died doing what he loved”
“She died doing what she loved.”
But Grief, it leaves no one the same
Let alone a tragic one
Same is the story of Craig who lost his wife Lisa Manders and the Brazilian family who lost their daughter on Mount Rinjani
It doesn’t leave you the same
I lost my father some 11 years ago too
Things were never the same
But I don’t want this to only remain an idea or a quiet grind
Even without teams, without VCs, without ads
Those who believe will show up when I stay the course too
And perhaps Zago Tours will be because you are
I don’t know where this will lead
I’m not even sure what will happen
But I’m sure of one thing
I was made to build
And I’ve chosen to do that loudly this time
