"The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy." ~~ Malcolm Forbes Publisher of Forbes magazine (1919–1990)
Since the inauguration of People In Paradise's eBook back in 2001, we have seen so much incredible success for countless wonderful people over the years. I'm very excited to bring you the 2nd electronic edition.
Cool jobs, they way I see it, are different & unique, out-of-the-norm, not your typical 9-to-5 job. I'm talking about
Rock climbing on a cruise ship
Kitesurfing in the Dominican Republic
Selling high-end art or Shore Excursions on luxury cruise liners
Teaching SCUBA at 5* Resorts in Mexico
Entertaining kids as Minnie Mouse or Donald Duck
Teaching English to youngsters in China
Can you imagine yourself as a nurse on a cruise ship or dancing in front of thousands in the Caribbean? Can you imagine opening a chain of online travel agencies or managing a 5* resort in Mexico?
Totally possible. Totally been done. Just because we don't know anyone doing this kind of work doesn't mean it isn't possible for ourselves.
Fact is, there are countless extraordinary people who have found their niche doing something they're very passionate about all over the world. And THAT to me is one of the keys to a happy, successful and fulfilled life. Doing what you love and loving what you do.
Sadly, fear - False Evidence Appearing Real - is usually the culprit for NOT exploring something different, for whatever reasons. But I'm here to tell you to Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway! Woohoo!
So where and how do you begin? What's your next step?
My eBook outlines, through some of my own personal experiences, how YOU can open the door to your new life journey and get started TODAY!

The world of TRAVEL and why NOW is the best time to jump in

Paradigm Shift - Embracing Change, Embracing the Internet
Everybody knows that the internet has changed virtually everything … especially the Travel Industry. Online giants like Hotels.com, Expedia, Travelocity,
YTB,
and Orbitz have revolutionized travel, and the way travel is sold! In fact, it’s estimated that 82% of all travel is now being booked online. Travel is one of the most researched topics on the internet … and also the most profitable.
The internet is simple, seamless and the perfect medium for the travel industry. We just point, click and pack our bags.
Since 1997 well over 200,000 agencies went out of business due in large part to American Airlines pulling the plug on paying commissions. Over 1 million travel agents lost their jobs to the internet. That number grew after 9/11. The days of brick & mortar very quickly got taken over by click & order, making for a far more efficient system. Those very few agents & agencies that could foresee the positive impact the internet could have for them, jumped right into the explosive opportunity that the internet introduced. Very few, a decade ago, opted to go with the flow of change. Today, everyone understands that the internet is here to stay. When we are adaptable to change, we flourish … and profit.
Today’s travel agent is online and home-based. Because of the tremendous opportunity, continuous industry growth, and #1 industry training, today’s travel agent is your mother, cousin, aunt, neighbour, best friend, etc. and earning 60-100% of the vendors commission! It's fun, it's highly profitable, it’s for everyone ... And the perks are phenomenal!
Cruising
The
Cruise Line
industry is exploding! More ships have been built in the last 5 years than in the last 45 years just to keep up with the ever growing demand to see more of the world for less.
With the unprecedented growth in new resorts, new destinations, new ports worldwide ... comes opportunity for YOU!
Recruiting Agencies are hiring in every category imaginable from Croupier to Tatoo Artists, from Servers to Surfers. PeopleInParadise's
A World of Self Discover. Get Paid To Travel.
covers a growing list of niche employment possibilities for you.
Teach ESL
In this age of technology, the world is getting smaller making communication essential. Technology and Travel are 2 industries that make learning more languages a necessity (sometimes a requirement) to get ahead and stay ahead.
You may think that
teaching English abroad
is helping others but sharing your language with others also positions you to learn from your students (language, culture, etc). It's a WIN-WIN!
If you've ever thought about working a cool cruise job, teaching ESL, would like to share your talents & passions with the world, work with underprivileged children, make a difference, then look no further.

“Hola Andrea ... just got back from Cayo Coco, Cuba for the 4th time since last February! I came home and just could not stop researching on how to apply for opportunities to work in a resort down there. I thankfully came across your amazing ebook that I literally just bought 3 hours ago and read it all in one read because I was so intrigued. Your book has inspired me to do whatever it takes to follow my dream. (loved reading in your book about your first time experience MC'ing). I am so inspired by you and just have no idea where to begin. All I know is that this is my passion and I love working with people, traveling, spending time with locals, adventuring and I'm always open minded, positive and easily adapable to new environments. I know from reading your amazing book you seem to be a very busy lady but if you ever have anytime to go over my cover letter resume or just lead me into the right direction you would truly be a God-send. I am so overwhelmed and happy I came across your website and ebook ... best spent $21 Cdn dollars ever. Cheers! Muchas Gracias”

"I left my 25yr job with Air Canada (with pension) and found myself out on the market again after so many years. Andrea has been a great help in sending me information and talking with me about how and where to look for certain jobs I was interested in, in the world of travel. With her help, I fine-tuned my resume/cover package and she prepared me for interviews. I was offered a Guest Service Mgmt position with Club Med, as well as another airline position! She keeps being a great support to me, and probably will need her advice and help for some time to come. She is always positive and always there when I reach out."
