Hitting Platinum and Building a Team That Wins (Wanderlust Wednesday)

Big milestone alert. In this Wanderlust Wednesday, Nick and Wil pull back the curtain on how Nick Mornard & Associates hit Platinum status with Dream Vacations and why celebration is a non-negotiable part of staying in the game. 

If you are building something on nights and weekends, this is your playbook for duplicating yourself, leading a team of independent rockstars, and turning consistency into compounding results.

Key Takeaways:

• Year one was devoted to learning the industry and reached Silver just before the first anniversary.
• Gold followed quickly after Silver and Platinum arrived in year three through steady, compounding growth.
• Scaling required shifting from solopreneur to business owner by duplicating through a team of trained associates.
• The agency now includes seven associates with an eighth onboarding and has expanded beyond Florida into multiple states.
• Team selection prioritizes entrepreneurial mindset and a willingness to work rather than get-rich-quick expectations.
• Clear goals, accountability, and celebrating small, medium, and big wins prevent burnout and sustain momentum.
• Building systems that reduce booking time and increase expertise unlocks higher revenue with fewer hours.
• Incentive structures raise associate commission as they sell more which grows the whole agency.
• You can only do so much in 24 hours, so duplication and team building are the path to scale.
• The next target is Diamond status and the belief is that it is achievable through consistent execution.
