Episode 2: When Starting A Glamping Business, Begin Here For Quick Success

 

Very few people talk about this when starting a unique outdoor guest accommodation or glamping business. This is step one and if you get this bit wrong in your start-up journey you will constantly come across barriers when trying to achieve early business success.

Often the inspiration to start a glamping business comes from an experience you have had with your family or friends. It can be so very exciting when you realise this type of new start can change your life for the better, forever, if you decide to get involved so you move forwards quickly as your mind opens, ideas start to hit you and you feel excited by the potential in the industry.

This is why I do what I do and I thoroughly enjoy watching the lightbulb moments for new owners in the world of glamping business start-ups.

However, there is a step that many don't consider and so few give advice about, but it is key to your success.

To help you go through the process and identify what's right for you I have given an exercise to follow called the '7 Whys'. This will help you understand your core goals when starting your glamping business as these are different for everyone.

Episode 3: What Glamping Business Models Are Available in The Americas

 

Having supported thousands of people to launch their luxury camping and glamping businesses across 18 countries around the world, some common questions often come up. One of those is about the glamping business models available, particularly in the Americas.

There is a lot of confusion about what makes up a glamping business model so in this episode I outline 3 tiers of structure you can think through to decide what's best for you.

Tier 1 - The type of business that fits your entrepreneurial goals
Tier 2 - The style of business that fits your vision
Tier 3 - Your method of implementation, depending on the assets available to you

There are many different combinations so you can use these elements to develop a unique business model that fits your needs perfectly. In fact, the only limit is your imagination.

Episode 4: Are You Heading For Glamping Business Success?

 

What elements make it more likely for a glamping business to enjoy success during the start-up process, while others fail?

Starting a new glamping business can be intense and lots of fun but it can also be hard work. However, if you remain bold, determined, diligent and dynamic, then the right path will open up so you can make progress.

But can you be sure?

In this episode, we talk about the factors that have been shown to accelerate a business owner's success, allowing you to measure yourself to see how you are doing against their high-performing benchmark.

To make it fun we have even provided an annual scorecard so you can keep an eye on your own performance. You will be able to check if you've mastered the same factors that have led to million-dollar businesses being set up all over the Americas.

Download your copy of the Success Scorecard for episode 4 here.

This is all with the purpose of building your confidence that with the right tools and framework, you can achieve the same level of success and have the potential to build an epic glamping business in the Americas.
