Meet Emily Rolewicz: Starting from Scratch to reaching 75% Commission in 2 Years
Behind every successful travel advisor is a story of growth, determination, and the right support system. Today’s story shows how any travel advisor can be earning 75% commission in 2 years.
We are proud to introduce Emily Rolewicz, an independent travel advisor who built her business from the ground up and reached an impressive milestone—earning 75% commission in 2 years.
Her journey is a powerful example of what is possible with the right mindset, the right structure, and the right community.
Starting From Scratch… and Building Something Real
Like many advisors entering the industry, Emily did not begin with an established client base or a fully formed business. She started from scratch, learning the ins and outs of the industry while actively building her brand and client relationships.
What sets her apart is how quickly she turned that foundation into real momentum.
Why Emily Chose Travel Resources Group
When choosing a host agency, Emily had options. She explored larger, well-known names in the industry during her search, but she found some non-negotiables were not checked off her list. Instead, she chose a boutique approach.
For Emily, it came down to something simple but powerful: support that actually feels personal.
At TRG, she found a community that offered:
- Hands-on guidance
- A collaborative environment
- The flexibility to grow her business her way
Rather than feeling like just another number in a large network, Emily was able to build meaningful connections and receive the kind of support that accelerates growth.
Building Her Business—Her Way
One of the most impactful parts of Emily’s journey has been the ability to grow under the Travel Resources brand while still maintaining ownership of her unique business identity.
This balance gave her the confidence to:
- Develop her own niche and style
- Build client relationships authentically
- Grow at a pace that matched her goals
It is a model that allows advisors to feel both supported and independent—something that is not always easy to find.
Reaching 75% Commission in Record Time
Perhaps the most impressive part of Emily’s story is how quickly she progressed through commission tiers.
In less than two years, she moved from 60% to 75% commission split. A milestone that reflects both her dedication and the structure supporting her success.
This kind of growth does not happen by accident. It is the result of:
- Consistent effort
- Clear goals
- Ongoing mentorship and support
Emily’s journey shows what is possible when those elements come together.
What Makes TRG Feel Like Home
When Emily talks about her experience, one theme stands out: Travel Resources Group feels like home.
That sense of belonging matters. It creates an environment where advisors feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to keep growing.
For independent advisors, especially those starting out, that kind of environment can make all the difference.
