I always love a good success story, and on the latest episode I have a great one for you.
Two years ago, Will McGovern and his family opened Rivershore Resort, a ‘glamping’ experience set in Southeastern Queensland. Since then, they’ve been lauded by locals and nomads alike as a can’t-miss property.
How did they do it? Besides a combination of business-savvy thinking and a good attitude, there were a few other things. Give the episode a listen to find out what else Will had to say about running a successful business.
During the episode, we chat about:
- Why building a restaurant in his park was a brilliant business decision for Will
- The intricacies of building your own greenfield property
- Why every park owner should always be thinking about sustainability
- How Will harnessed word of mouth to have his park 100% full the first week it was open
- Why you can’t let every bad review get to you
- How to leverage local businesses to provide services for your guests
- Ways to keep yourself sane while managing a chaotic business
- Tips for keeping staff motivated
