Hello WorldVia Travel Network Family,
Last week, we stepped away from our roadmap series to make space for Thanksgiving, gratitude, and a well-earned pause. I hope you felt even a small moment of stillness in the middle of the swirl and gave yourself permission to simply be with family, friends, quiet, and pie (preferably more than one slice).
Now we turn back to business, but gently, because this is the perfect time of year for clarity, not intensity. A roadmap isn’t about hustling harder. Today we’ll turn your Start, Stop, Improve list from Part One into a simple four-part roadmap you can follow for the next 90 days. It’s about making your next season of work easier, calmer, and more predictable.
If you missed Part One, you can read it here.
Your Travel Business Roadmap (Simple, Flexible, and Shockingly Helpful)
A roadmap should never make you feel boxed in. If it does, it’s not a roadmap, it’s a guilt chart (and who needs any more of that?). The kind of roadmap we build at WorldVia for AIVIA, PRO, and even our broader advisor network is a living document, not a contract. It moves with us, not against us.
Your roadmap should too.
This is the part where your Three Buckets turn into a real plan.
Themes are your big pillars, the categories your improvements fall into. Think of them as the “chapters” of your next 90 days.
Common examples:
Themes rarely change, but give your roadmap consistent structure over time.
This is where your Three Buckets come alive.
Under each Theme, choose one or two Initiatives. These are the specific projects that will meaningfully improve your business.
Examples:
Initiatives are projects, not tasks. They are the levers that produce real movement.
Milestones are the “proof” that you’re moving. They create momentum because progress becomes visible.
Examples:
Milestones let you experience wins early and often.
This is the part that advisors often get wrong. Your work and life do NOT benefit from hard deadlines, but they both benefit from seasons of focus.
Think in quarters:
Your roadmap might look like this:
Pulling it together
Take your Three Buckets list and assign each item to a Theme, Initiative, or Milestone. Then give it a loose timing. The moment you do this, your next 90 days will feel less chaotic and infinitely more intentional. Remember, you don’t need to finish everything in the next 90 days. By mapping out the next year (and revisiting every month or two), you’ll be able to mentally shelf some of the nagging needs, knowing that you’ve mapped out when you’ll get to it. You’ll stop feeling guilty and start feeling proud of what you have accomplished.
A roadmap doesn’t box you in, it frees you up. It gives direction. Direction creates confidence. Confidence is the engine that powers growth in this (and any) business.
Best Success,
Jason
