In recent tourism news, Alaska raised cruise tourism limits as residents’ concerns about over-tourism grew. Over-tourism is an increasing issue in trendy tourism destinations, and one solution that will keep revenue flowing is to focus more on bringing in visitors outside the regular busy season. Unless downtime is needed for maintenance or other recovery, selling year-round is a goal of most businesses that commonly experience seasonality. In this episode of Building Success Stories, Seth and I discuss How to Extend Your Selling Season.
Listen to common ways to extend your selling season and some great examples I've seen in my career working with businesses like this.

Time for a Mid-Year Assessment: Ensure You Are On Course For Success In All Areas of Your Life (Episode 34)
Building Success Stories with Ann Donnelly
11/17/24 • 37 min
It’s time to review your goals and targets from earlier this year. Ideally, you’ve been reviewing these weekly or at least monthly, but so many people don’t, which is why this mid-year assessment is critical.
It’s so easy to lose track of time this time of year. Schools are out, vacations and holidays happen, and we get out of our routine. Hopefully, you are having fun and enjoying the fruits of your labor from the first half of the year.
In this episode of Building Success Stories, Ann and Seth discuss:
Why a Mid-Year Assessment is important.
What to look at during the assessment.
How to get back on track to reaching your annual goals.
Can you do even better than you originally planned?
Assessing progress in all areas of your life and why that's important.
You want to do everything but can only do one thing at a time. If you prioritize and plan, you can focus and start ticking off those “one things” that will lead you to achieve your goals in all “circles” of your life.
