We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariah Blackshear and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Mariah, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Have you ever just wake up from a dream about how successful life is going to be. I have thought plenty of times to give up because I wasn’t seeing results like I should be but god kept me going with the support of family and close friends I kept my vision alive there is still days I feel hopeless but giving up is never a option anymore I have achieved many goals that other people wish they could accomplish I should be a prime example of never giving up on your dreams. I am not where I want to be but just know I am on the rise to where I’m gonna be.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am Founder & CEO of A+ Luxury Adventures. I help people by planning and booking their vacation needs with ease. Not everyone has time to sit down and actually plan a trip while getting discounts at the same time so that’s where my company comes in and gets the job done ! My Travel Agency is different from other agencies because we strive to satisfy the customers needs and wants. We have free 30 minute consultations calls after you submit a form so we can have a proper introduction while going over your travel plans to make sure everything is to your liking. I am most proud that I get to travel while making money and helping people get the best deals . Who wouldn’t want to save money on traveling because I know I love it ! All the different benefits & perks. Travel industry is a billionaire dollar business! January 27th 2022 is when I become a licensed independent travel agent through the state of Florida. It’s been a year and I have learned so much in the travel business as well as connecting with some amazing entrepreneurs. My motivation and drive really helped me reach goals I didn’t know existed my first month in the travel industry I made 1.2k ! Imagine having a extra 1.000 in your bank account every month on top of your 9-5 I know it would definitely help a lot of people! I am not saying running your own business is easy because it’s not some days I wouldn’t even touch my laptop because I was depressed and going through personal things but I would remember why I started my business in the first place . I had a lot of hardships in my first year but it really molded me into the CEO I am today ! Having a great support system will really keep you on the straight path because the devil is working and trying to destroy you keep your faith and everything with fall into place.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So first things first we would get city passes and view all the attractions on it. For food I would definitely recommend going to the Cheesecake Factory or try a food truck . I love museums so definitely go to a art museum i love walking around seeing all the different sculptures & artists.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give a huge shoutout to my close family & friends without y’all support I wouldn’t be able to accomplish the things I am doing now ! My mom keeps me motivated she is the glue to our family and plays a big role in why I want to be successful and run my own business. She opened a successful daycare & a restaurant she has always been driven in the business industry! Her ambition was engraved into me and that’s why I give her all the praise.
