A top travel advisor has revealed how she turned a major setback into a multi-million dollar agency – and the advice she’d give to others looking to follow suit.
Julie Shotmeyer, founder of Jet Set Getaways, was left “heartbroken” after being unexpectedly rejected for a job in her home state of New Jersey.
The role, a first grade teacher, had seemed like a natural fit for the East Coast native. She had already taught at the school prior to having her daughter, and had a strong relationship with its faculty.
But despite being a “shoo-in” for the position, Shotmeyer was passed over for the job.
