Certifications and commissions galoreWhen Cooper first explored the idea of becoming a travel agent in 2018, she was overwhelmed by the process. That's why travel creators don't have to have a lot of followers in order to be successful in this profession. A 'boom' in travel creators becoming agents could be the futureToday, Cooper mentors a few travel creators herself who are interested in getting their agent certifications. However, she thinks it will be a popular side hustle for travel creators since she said brand deals — the main way many influencers earn money — are often an inconsistent source of income.

Read previewA smart reader asked me to talk about an important element of career success — luck. The paper's conclusion — one I agree with — is that luck plays a much bigger role in success than most people think. But with the help of still more luck — and effort and, I think, some talent — I did manage, eventually, to build a life I wanted. AdvertisementBut we will all be doing ourselves — and our future careers — a big disservice if we imagine that success is all luck. Some of the hardest and most exhausting jobs in the world provide the fewest opportunities for advancement and success — at least financial success.

Supporting nonprofits on GivingTuesday this year could have a bigger impact than usual. Many nonprofits will run matching campaigns, meaning a supporter has pledged to double or sometimes triple the donation of other, smaller donors. That would follow the trend of charitable giving in 2022, which dropped for only the fourth time in 40 years. Other nonprofits, though, aim to rally support from the communities they seek to serve, and GivingTuesday can help with that. ___Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and non-profits receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Steve Miller, 1970s rock icon, strolled out onto an elegant Jazz at Lincoln Center stage last week, sat down on a stool and picked up a custom double-necked acoustic guitar. Smiling widely, he told the sold-out crowd that he was going to start with “a different version” of a song they’d all know. The two versions, almost a half century apart, were instantly connected by the familiar timbre of Miller’s voice. At this show, his seventh annual two-night celebration of the blues, Miller performed only two of his own songs, otherwise concentrating on the music of his blues influences and mentors. “He’s just going to take this music we love into the future,” Miller said backstage in an interview a few days earlier.

The importance of outlining responsibilitiesWhen it's time for expansion, small businesses often face the challenge of outlining responsibilities with new hires and current staff. "When small businesses scale up, they often face problems in three areas: leadership, talent acquisition, and organizational culture," Szafranek said. How to minimize riskWhile running a business comes with inherent risks, small businesses don't have the same resources as large corporations. Experts also advise small businesses to implement changes slowly, create a well-researched plan, and set up a timetable of what needs to be done successfully at each stage.

The project’s mission is to give Palestinians a chance to tell their own stories without relying on Western gatekeepers or foreign intermediaries. It is perhaps why Gallup polls show sympathy for Palestinians rising since 2018, particularly among millennials and Democrats. It used to be difficult in the United States to hear a Palestinian perspective on the conflict. But the number of outlets that have been accused of bias in recent weeks has also diluted the impact of such criticism. He also insisted that peaceful coexistence can be achieved only once Israelis understand the injustice that Palestinians endure and address it.

"If you're in a huge community, you might not even get noticed," Gatsos Young said. To find the right groups, Soomro said, you can search Facebook by keyword or look online for top groups for your audience segment (e.g., "top groups for female entrepreneurs").
