- On becoming a destination location. What you need to create something that will attract people from near and far, including using social media to connect with customers and propsectsin.
- Creating multiple streams of income. Janice does not rely solely on income from overnight stays at her B&B. This is a great discussion about the multiple streams of income produced by her location.
