I did go to business school, but frankly it's all fairly simple. You just need to identify a service you can provide that people need and are willing to pay for, and then make sure you're the best at it.
Daath gets a lot of tourists from around the world, and sometimes I make some money on the side by giving them tours... but it doesn't make that much. I don't know what else I can offer people, though...
No, no, that sounds like a good start. You're getting yourself established - that takes time. You just have to figure out a way to either attract a clientele who spends more or to give tours to a lot more tourists. Increase quantity or quality.
Right. The luxury market relies on word of mouth. So you have to find a way to get your foot in the door. Instead of pitching to them, you want them believing your tours are something exclusive not just anyone can get...
The truth is, a lot of people get ahead because they already have a connection with someone in that world who can put in a good word for them. But if you don't have that, there are ways to fake it. I'd have to know more about the situation to be comfortable coming up with a plan, but you could always bribe some staff members or someone with family connections who's a little short on funds.

You're kind of amazing, Margaret. When you talk about this stuff, it starts to feel like anything is possible.
