Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelton Dobbins.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Growing up in a small town with one red light on one grocery store their wasn’t much to see and not much to do. There was not many opportunities and jobs. I worked at McDonald’s and became at a young parent my whole life changed. I was not about to settle! I had a little girl depending on me. My mom always encouraged me to put god first and not settle in Vienna Georgia like she did. She would always say son you can do anything you put your mind too. And I believed her!!
It all started with believing in myself. I had dreams and I was determined. Therefore I made a decision to quit my job and I left Vienna GA. To become an entrepreneur following my dreams. Moving to Atlanta exposed me to a lot of opportunity.
Meeting successful people other entrepreneurs’ everyday learning different things about entrepreneurship and the travel industry I decided I wanted to become a travel agent.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road has not always been smooth. I experienced being homeless, robbed and jumped after that I dealt with depression and anxiety it was not easy but in my heart giving up was not an option for me. I had to keep going and believing in myself. The encouragement and support from family and friends were amazing. You need good energy like that on your journey. It keep you motivated.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I turn those dream getaways into reality. Helping people save and make money off the travel their going to do. I also help individuals start their own travel agency. My business can touch anything in the travel industry. I can make the impossible happen. I have inventory over 1.5 million hotels & accommodations and over 900 plus airlines, including 200 low cost air carriers. I’m most proud about how I am able to help people add an extra stream of income working from the comfort of their homes or the beach.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Absolutely! It’s a good place to start. Atlanta Just host the Super Bowl back in Feb. And guess who had tickets for sale. I was able to help friends and family with hotel accommodations. And help other business partners profit off the events. Atlanta is the home of Coca Cola. People travel from all over the world just visit the world of Coke museum. Atlanta also have the largest aquarium in the United States. Theirs money out there to be made and I’m just putting myself and others in the middle of the transaction. That wanna make some now income on top of what they already have. Why not make money off the things people are doing every day.
