Travel Business FAQ’s
Is this network marketing?
Yes, in the strictest sense of the phrase, this is network marketing. Every single person has a network - it may be your family, friends, work colleagues, parents on your child’s school playground, ladies at the hair salon, or even your local faith group. Some of you may have an online network on social media platforms. Whatever your network happens to be, you will be taught how to make it work for you.
Is this a pyramid scheme?
No, a pyramid scheme is illegal. Pyramid schemes have nothing to sell - they’re simply recruiting people who will spend money. In our opportunity, YOU have control. Our opportunity is built around YOU, and what YOU want.
What's the difference between networking marketing and a pyramid scheme?
Legitimate network marketing companies have a product, whether it’s a tangible, physical item or a service. You sell that product or service to your network and as they pay for your item, you earn money. Pyramid schemes don’t have a product and take your money, often leaving you significantly out of pocket.
Do I need to be a ‘salesperson?’
No. The image that comes to mind when people think of a salesperson is of a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase, trying to sell you life insurance. That is not what we’re about.
The simple truth is that people like travelling. You have been on holiday, as have your family and friends. Building a travel business works so well because you are offering a personalised service for something that people already want to buy. The people who tend to be the best sellers are relationship builders. They can have a relaxed conversation, are never pushy and frankly, they’re not trying to twist your arm to get you to buy. At some point, your client will travel - if you have built a rapport and a relationship with them, they will remember you and come back to you.
‘In network marketing companies, only the people at the top make money.’
Whilst this may be true of some network marketing companies out there, it is NOT true for us. The travel business which we will help you to create earns YOU money. YOU earn commission whilst running your own business - it’s entirely yours. We only provide the tools and resources and support you need to get started and grow. How big your business becomes is entirely up to you.
‘It’s a ‘get rich quick’ scheme.’
Absolutely not. This is a business. It operates the same way as if you decided to bake cakes and start selling them. Growth will come but it is steady and achieved through hard work and effort. If you are looking to immediately earn significant amounts of money, this is not the right opportunity for you.
‘I need a huge network to be successful.’
No. The success of your business comes through steady consistency. Having a network of 50 engaged clients is far better for long term success than a disengaged network of 5000.
‘It’s just recruiting, not selling products.’
No. The travel business is your standalone business. If you do not want to recruit any other person and would like to focus 100% on growing your own business and income, that is absolutely fine.
What’s the financial risk?
This is a low cost entry business. The amount that you pay won’t be anymore than a few monthly subscriptions that you’re already paying. You will not be purchasing any inventory as travel is a service and not a physical product. For full details of the financial cost to you, get in touch for a detailed chat and we can run through the numbers together.
How much time do I need to commit?
That’s entirely up to you. This is a flexible business built around YOU and your life. How you choose to structure it so it fits into your day or week is completely up to you. It is not supposed to be stressful or cause you a headache.
Isn’t the market already saturated with travel businesses?
No. If it was, our team would not be seeing the success it is. Trust, honesty and reliability are the keys to this business. If you can build those three things with your clients you will develop a strong reputation which will serve you well as you move forward.
Introducing TFO Travel
There are certain things in life which you might dream of but assume will never happen. Things like going to the moon, winning the lottery, or being your own boss. But I can help you to make at least one of those things come true.
The phrase ‘financial freedom’ has been around for a LONG time. The problem is that most people who were trying to get you to buy in to what they were selling, didn’t in fact, have much of anything to give you.
This is different.
Depending on what you wish to achieve, your circumstances, your family life and personal situation, either or both of the opportunities I am about to share with you could be your ticket to finally being your own boss, achieving total financial freedom, or frankly, having extra rainy day funds for when you need them.
Crucially however, if, after speaking with you, I don’t think these opportunities are right for you, I will tell you. Because although it's rare, they won’t be right for everyone.
To make these opportunities worthwhile for you, read through the details below and see if either opportunity feels right to you. Remember that the information below is an outline of each opportunity, and the best way to get the full details is on a call with me.
-
Do you travel regularly or know others who do? Do you know how to book a holiday online? If so, this may be just right for you. If you have ever used the likes of price comparison travel websites to book a hotel, flights, cruises or even car hire, that’s all the experience you need right there. Here’s the opportunity: when you book any one of these services, the website you use to book the service earns a commission from the hotel, airline, cruise line etc in question. Why should the person earning that commission not be you instead? When you join our platform, the only thing you need to do is complete the training which will give you access to all of the insider rates and exclusive systems used by all of the major booking sites in the world. And because I believe in transparency, I can also tell you that the cost of this, to you, will be no more than the amount you’re already spending on your monthly subscriptions. That’s it.
Is this right for me? This opportunity typically suits someone who wants to be their own boss, wants an extra (or full-time) income stream, doesn’t want to invest significant financial amounts, but wants to have access to tried and tested support from thousands of people who have done this before. There are no sales quotas, no targets to hit, no inventory to buy, no signing up to a random contract. It’s a straightforward way for you to set up a business and earn without stress.
-
Do you have a natural talent for chatting to people and explaining what you do? Are you known for coaching, mentoring and developing others? Then this could be just the thing for you. This opportunity is all about creating passive income. What this means is that instead of actively focusing on building a standalone travel business, you would be building the overarching support and mentorship FOR those standalone businesses. The focus here is on ensuring that every single person who wants to start their own travel business, has the opportunity, tools, platforms and support to do so.
And if you’re wondering, ‘but how do I make any money from that?’ it’s simple - as your travel team becomes successful, so do you. But here’s the key bit - as part of one of the world’s biggest travel businesses, your success is guaranteed. Think of it like being a CEO of a company - your job is to bring in the right people and coach, mentor and guide them to do the best they can because when they do well, so do you.
Is this right for me? This opportunity suits individuals who like engaging with people professionally - if you have ever worked in a career like recruitment or senior corporate roles, you will be familiar with training, upskilling and motivating teams. That is exactly what this role involves. Unlike Opportunity 1 however, you will need to be available to your team regularly, carry out 1-1 development calls or meetings, provide advice and guidance, and answer any questions they may have. It’s a very different role to Opportunity 1 but those who are natural people leaders tend to do very, very well in this position.
Whether you decide to explore Opportunity 1 or 2 is entirely up to you. Some people even decide to do both and depending on life circumstances, even switch from one path to the other.
I am on hand to guide you to where you want to be but ultimately, you get to decide how you want to work, where, when and how much you want to work. Success isn’t overnight - like any other business, it takes time and hard work. But the strategy is simple and the training is all provided for you thanks to exclusive platforms, insider relationships with the world’s biggest travel brands, and the expertise and support of those who have done this before you.
And for those of you who still aren't quite convinced, I've pulled together a handy FAQ’s explainer to answer some of the most common questions. Just click here.
It’s a cliche for a reason - if everyone else can do it, why can’t you?
Introduction to Pottery Making
If you’ve ever fancied a turn at the potter’s wheel, now’s your time.
In a world of touchscreens and never-ending notifications, there's something incredibly satisfying about sinking your hands into cool, earthy clay—and making something real. Something that doesn’t just live in the cloud, but on your shelf.
Pottery making is more than just crafting mugs and vases—it's about reconnecting with your creativity, grounding your energy, and finding beauty in imperfection. It’s tactile therapy, slow art, and a little bit of magic.
Here’s why so many are falling in love with the wheel (or the slab):
✨ 1. Slow Living, But Make It Creative
Pottery forces you to slow down—and not just metaphorically. Clay has its own rhythm. You can’t rush a bowl into existence. It’s a hands-on antidote to burnout and busy culture, and a beautiful way to practice patience.
👐 2. From Stress to Stillness
There’s something soothing about the repetitive motion of shaping clay. It calms the nervous system, clears the mind, and invites you to get present—like yoga, but with a finished product you can actually sip tea from.
🎨 3. Full Creative Expression
Pottery isn’t about perfection. It’s about texture, form, color, and feeling. Whether you're into clean, minimalist lines or earthy, wabi-sabi imperfections, every piece you create is a reflection of you.
🧘♀️ 4. It’s Grounding—Literally
Touching earth connects you with something ancient, something real. In a life filled with digital everything, working with clay is a powerful way to return to your roots—figuratively and literally.
🥂 5. It’s Social and Solo
Pottery classes are a great way to meet like-minded women, share laughs over lopsided bowls, and cheer each other on. But it’s also a deeply solo craft—perfect for when you just need some quiet, creative time for yourself.
🏡 6. Functional, Beautiful Art
Let’s be real—handmade mugs, candle holders, and plant pots are aesthetic goals. There’s something empowering about drinking your morning coffee from a mug you made with your own two hands.
Pottery isn't just a hobby—it’s a slow, soulful return to yourself. So if you’re craving a creative outlet, a little mess, and a lot of mindfulness… the wheel is calling.
Introduction to Archery
From Katniss Everdeen to the Amazons of Themyscira, if archery has captured your interest, here’s how to get started.
If you're looking for a hobby that grounds you in the moment, challenges your focus, and makes you feel like a woodland warrior queen—all without needing a Wi-Fi signal—barebow archery might just be your next obsession.
Forget high-tech gear and gadgets. Barebow archery is raw, minimalist, and beautifully simple. No sights, no stabilizers—just you, your bow, and the target. It’s archery in its most natural, instinctive form.
But beyond the bow, here’s why more women—especially those of us navigating our 30s—are gravitating toward it:
🌿 1. Mindfulness in Motion
Barebow archery demands stillness, breath control, and intention. Each shot is like a moving meditation—something deeply calming in a world that’s constantly buzzing. It’s a perfect counterbalance to a tech-heavy life.
💪 2. Quiet Strength
You don’t need brute force to be a good archer. What matters most is consistency, control, and mental strength. It's about channeling your energy, not overpowering the target. There’s something incredibly empowering in learning how to own your body’s strength—on your own terms.
🎯 3. Personal Progress > Perfection
Unlike competitive sports, barebow archery is less about winning and more about growth. It's you vs. your last shot. That sense of progress, however small, is deeply satisfying—and a great way to reconnect with a sense of purpose.
🧡 4. Sisterhood + Solitude
Archery can be wonderfully solitary or a shared experience with like-minded women. Whether you're looking for solo me-time in nature or want to join a supportive community of badass women slinging arrows—you can have both.
🏕️ 5. Nature, Not Noise
Practicing outdoors (hello, forest therapy!) helps you reconnect with the natural world. Even an hour at a local archery range can feel like a mini digital detox. Plus, pulling a bowstring under the trees just feels right—like stepping into your own fantasy novel.
Barebow archery isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, pulling back, and letting go. And maybe, that’s exactly the kind of energy we all need.
A Deep Dive into Yoga
Discover the best yoga flow for you.
Yoga has exploded in popularity over the past decade, and for good reason. Beyond its reputation for helping with stress and flexibility, yoga can be an incredible workout too — offering everything from a sweaty, heart-pumping session to a slow, strength-building flow. If you’re curious about incorporating yoga into your fitness routine but aren’t sure where to start, this guide will walk you through the most popular types of yoga, how they differ, and who they might suit best.
Vinyasa Yoga – For a Dynamic, Flowing Workout
If you love workouts that keep you moving and challenge your coordination, Vinyasa yoga might be your vibe. In Vinyasa, you flow through a series of poses, connecting breath with movement. Classes tend to be fast-paced, which makes it a great choice for building cardio fitness, improving flexibility, and boosting overall strength.
Best for:
People who enjoy a fast-moving workout
Those looking to improve balance and flexibility
Anyone who wants to get their heart rate up while working on strength
Expect to sweat and feel energised afterwards!
Power Yoga – For Strength and Endurance
Power yoga is essentially Vinyasa’s more intense sibling. It’s fast, strong, and focused on building muscle tone and endurance. You’ll hold poses longer and engage your core more, making it feel like a bodyweight strength session — but with an added mindfulness element.
Best for:
Fitness lovers who enjoy a challenge
Those looking to build muscle tone and core strength
Anyone who prefers a strength-based workout over gentle stretching
Think of it as yoga-meets-strength-training!
Hatha Yoga – For Gentle Strength and Flexibility
Hatha yoga focuses on the basics. It’s slower-paced, with more time spent holding poses and focusing on alignment and breath. It’s a brilliant entry point for beginners or anyone wanting to build a strong foundation before moving on to more intense styles.
Best for:
Beginners who want to build confidence
Anyone recovering from injury
Those looking for a relaxed but effective stretch
Perfect for winding down after a stressful day.
Yin Yoga – For Deep Stretching and Relaxation
Yin yoga is all about slowing down and sinking in. You’ll hold passive stretches for several minutes, targeting the deeper connective tissues in your body. It’s intense in a different way — requiring patience and focus — but it’s fantastic for improving flexibility and calming the nervous system.
Best for:
People with tight muscles or poor flexibility
Those needing to balance out high-intensity training
Anyone looking to improve overall mobility
Great for a post-run or post-gym stretch session.
Ashtanga Yoga – For Discipline and Structure
Ashtanga yoga follows a set sequence of poses, performed in the same order every time. It’s physically demanding and structured, making it ideal for those who thrive on routine. It builds strength, flexibility, and mental focus — but be prepared for a steep learning curve.
Best for:
Type-A personalities who love structure
Anyone looking for a physically demanding routine
People who like a mix of strength and flexibility training
Think of it as a challenging but rewarding workout that builds both body and mind.
Hot Yoga – For Sweaty, Detoxifying Intensity
Hot yoga is exactly what it sounds like — yoga practised in a heated room, usually around 35–40°C. The heat helps your muscles stretch more deeply, increases your heart rate, and promotes sweating (which some people swear by for detoxification). It’s intense but can leave you feeling incredible afterwards.
Best for:
Those who enjoy a tough, sweaty workout
People looking to improve flexibility
Anyone who loves that post-sweat endorphin rush
Bring a towel — you’ll need it!
Restorative Yoga – For Stress Relief and Recovery
Restorative yoga is less about building strength and more about letting go. It involves holding supported poses (sometimes with the help of props) for long periods, encouraging deep relaxation and stress relief. It’s perfect as a complement to a busy workout schedule.
Best for:
High-stress lifestyles
Athletes looking to recover faster
Anyone needing a mental reset
It’s like a power nap for your body and mind.
Finding Your Yoga Style
The beauty of yoga is that there’s no “right” way to do it. If you’re after a workout that builds strength and burns calories, Power or Vinyasa might be your go-to. For flexibility and recovery, Yin or Restorative are perfect. And if you want something in between, Hatha or Ashtanga could hit the spot.
Don’t be afraid to mix it up — trying different styles is the best way to find what works for you. Most studios offer a variety of classes, so you can experiment until you find your flow. Whether you’re looking to sweat, stretch, or simply switch off for an hour, there’s a yoga style that’s got your name on it.
So, grab your mat and get ready to find your flow!
Reflexology: Introduction to an Ancient Practice
A brief introduction to the ancient practice of reflexology.
If you’ve ever had someone press on certain spots on your feet and felt weirdly relaxed (or maybe even energised), you’ve already had a taste of reflexology — even if you didn’t know it at the time. Reflexology is a holistic therapy that sounds a bit mystical but actually has a long history and some pretty fascinating science behind it.
What Exactly is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a type of complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and sometimes even the ears. The idea is that these points correspond to different organs and systems in the body. For example, pressing on the arch of your foot might be linked to your digestive system, while working on the ball of your foot could be connected to your heart and chest.
The basic principle is that stimulating these reflex points helps to restore balance in the body, promote relaxation, and support overall health. It’s not just about giving you a nice foot rub (though that’s definitely a bonus!) — it’s believed to help improve circulation, relieve tension, and even support your body’s natural healing processes.
Where Did Reflexology Come From?
Reflexology has surprisingly ancient roots. The practice dates back to Ancient Egypt — there are even wall paintings in tombs depicting people working on each other’s feet. Similar practices were also found in China and India over 5,000 years ago, where pressure-based therapies were used to maintain balance and wellness.
Modern reflexology as we know it today was formalised in the early 20th century. Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American ear, nose, and throat specialist, developed the concept of "zone therapy" — the idea that the body is divided into ten vertical zones, each corresponding to parts of the hands and feet. Later, Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist, mapped out the reflex points on the feet and hands more specifically, and that’s when reflexology really took off as a structured therapy.
How is Reflexology Used Today?
These days, reflexology is popular as a way to support overall health and wellbeing. People often turn to it for stress relief — it’s amazing how much tension you carry in your body without even realising it. A good session can leave you feeling calmer and more balanced.
It’s also used for things like sleep problems, digestive issues, and even pain management. Some people find it helpful for migraines or back pain, while others say it helps with hormonal imbalances or menstrual cramps. Pregnant women sometimes use reflexology to help with nausea and swelling (though it’s always best to check with a midwife first).
While reflexology isn’t a cure-all, it’s a great way to support your body’s natural healing process and help you feel more in tune with yourself.
Misconceptions About Reflexology
Let’s clear up a few common myths.
First, reflexology is not just a fancy foot massage. It’s based on specific pressure points and energy channels, which is why it can have such a deep effect on the body. Also, it’s not a medical treatment — reflexology works alongside traditional medicine, not as a replacement.
And no, it shouldn’t hurt! If anything, it should feel soothing and relaxing. You might feel a bit of sensitivity at certain points (which some reflexologists believe is a sign that the corresponding area of your body needs attention), but overall, it should feel good.
Should I Try It?
If you’re curious, reflexology is definitely worth a try. It’s non-invasive, low-risk, and the worst-case scenario is that you’ll walk away with relaxed feet. The best-case scenario? You’ll feel more balanced, energised, and maybe even sleep better.
So, next time life feels a bit overwhelming, why not kick off your shoes and see what reflexology can do for you? Your feet — and the rest of your body — will thank you. 👣😊
Reigniting Your Creative Spark: Simple Steps to Get Back in Flow
Stuck in a creative rut? Try TFO’s tips to shake things up.
Getting back into a creative flow after feeling stuck can be a challenging but rewarding process. As someone who’s dealt with my fair share of being in a creative rut, here are my tips to help you regain your spark.
Sometimes, all it takes is shaking up your routine to bring fresh energy into your day. Try taking a different route on your daily walk, rearranging your workspace, or even visiting a new café or park to work. A change of scenery can do wonders for sparking new ideas.
Taking a break from social media can also help reset your creativity. A digital detox, even if just for a weekend, provides space for your thoughts to wander without the constant input of other people’s ideas. Use this time to journal, sketch, or brainstorm freely—unplugging often leads to clarity and originality.
Reconnect with playfulness. Tap into that carefree energy you had as a child by trying creative hobbies purely for fun, whether it’s painting, crafting, or even something simple like colouring. Play removes the pressure to create something perfect and allows you to experiment without expectations.
Sometimes, inspiration comes from what we consume. Reading a book in a genre you wouldn’t normally choose, watching a fascinating documentary, or exploring art in a gallery can all spark new ideas. Seeing how others express their creativity can shift your perspective and help you approach your projects in fresh ways.
Movement is another powerful tool for getting unstuck. Activities like yoga, dancing, or even a walk in the countryside can boost your endorphins and help your mind make new connections. Physical activity stimulates not just the body but also the brain, creating a flow that often carries over into your creative work.
Setting small, manageable goals is key when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Instead of diving headfirst into a big project, commit to small steps like writing one page, sketching for ten minutes, or brainstorming a few ideas. These small wins build momentum and make the process feel less daunting.
Connecting with like-minded people can also help reignite your passion. Joining a local class, attending a workshop, or participating in online communities can surround you with inspiration and encouragement. Sharing ideas with others often brings new energy and perspective to your own work.
Above all, remember to be kind to yourself. Creativity ebbs and flows, and it’s perfectly okay to take breaks. Practising mindfulness or meditation can help quiet self-doubt and create space for your ideas to flourish. A compassionate mindset allows you to explore and experiment without fear of failure, and that’s where true creativity begins to thrive.
Finding Your Flow – The Benefits of Pilates for Every Lifestyle
Mat, Reformer or Tower. Which one is right for you?
As a recent convert to Pilates, I am hooked. It’s the ultimate workout for strength, flexibility, and zen vibes. But with so many types out there—mat-based, reformer, and tower—it can feel a bit overwhelming to choose. Don’t stress! Here’s the lowdown on each so you can pick the one that fits your flow.
Mat-Based Pilates
This is the OG of pilates, and it’s as simple as it sounds—all you need is a mat and your body. The focus is on controlled movements and core strength. Sometimes, classes throw in props like resistance bands or light weights to spice things up.
Why You’ll Love It:
It’s super accessible—you can do it anywhere! Perfect for travel, home workouts, or sneaking in a quick session during your lunch break.
It’s amazing for building core strength, which means better posture, balance, and even less back pain.
Budget-friendly! You don’t need any fancy gear or machines.
This one’s great for beginners, those on a budget, or anyone who loves a fuss-free workout.
Reformer Pilates
Now we’re leveling up with a reformer machine—picture a sliding carriage with springs and pulleys to add resistance. It’s a full-body workout that blends strength and flexibility.
Why You’ll Love It:
The resistance really gets your muscles working, giving you a deeper, more intense session.
It’s super versatile, whether you’re a fitness newbie, rehabbing an injury, or a pilates pro.
Say hello to improved posture! It’s excellent for alignment and keeping your spine happy.
If you’re ready to step up your pilates game, reformer is where it’s at.
Tower Pilates
This one’s for the pros (or anyone feeling adventurous). Tower pilates uses a vertical frame with springs, bars, and straps—think of it as a reformer’s cousin with more focus on strength.
Why You’ll Love It:
It’s super precise, which means you can really target specific muscles.
You’ll get a mix of strength and flexibility in one workout, which is perfect if you like variety.
It’s all about control, so it’s a great challenge for seasoned pilates fans.
Tower is ideal if you’ve already got some pilates experience and want something a bit more advanced.
Whatever style you choose, pilates is amazing for your body and your mind. So, find a class—whether it’s at a studio or online—and start moving. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
