Meet Tisha Spencer

We were lucky to catch up with Tisha Spencer recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Tisha, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

My work ethic comes from a long line of disciplined, resilient women. I’m a proud Army veteran raised by an Air Force mom and a Southern grandmother who believed that grit was non-negotiable. And as the oldest of three, I learned early that you don’t wait for permission to lead — you just do it.

In my family, excellence wasn’t something we occasionally reached for; it was the baseline. We didn’t grow up expecting participation trophies. We were taught that if you wanted something, you earned it, you prepared for it, and you showed up for it whether anyone was clapping or not.

But the truth is, my work ethic didn’t just come from discipline — it grew out of life hitting back. Military service sharpened my structure, but the real growth came from the moments when people were depending on me. When folks start looking to you for guidance, stability, or inspiration, you realize you don’t have the luxury of shrinking.

I won’t pretend I do it all perfectly. What I have figured out is how my brain works, how I operate best, and what systems keep me focused. My work ethic is the result of experience, pressure, responsibility, and a lot of self-reflection.

For me, showing up boldly isn’t about being fearless — it’s about pushing forward even when you’re tired, uncertain, or underestimated. That’s the muscle I’ve built over time, and it’s the one that keeps me moving.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I’m in the business of building people. Professionally, I wear two hats: I’m a network marketing business creator and a certified travel professional. What that really means is that I help everyday individuals create income, confidence, and freedom through simple, sustainable systems that actually work.

I got into this space because I saw how many people were tired of living on someone else’s schedule, tired of being capped, and tired of feeling like their potential was constantly put on hold. I’ve lived that life, and I know what it takes to break out of it. So now, I teach people how to build a personal economy they can depend on — not just a side hustle, but a legacy they can pass down.

On the travel side, I help clients and partners tap into one of the world’s most powerful industries. Travel changed my life, and it’s one of the few things that brings both joy and income. I specialize in creating elevated, stress-free experiences while also teaching my team how to capitalize on the global travel demand.

What excites me most is watching people step into a version of themselves they didn’t even realize they could be. I’ve seen single parents rebuild confidence, veterans create new purpose after service, and everyday folks transform a small investment into something that truly shifts their household. That’s the real win for me.

As for what’s new — I’m expanding my team internationally, developing new training tools, and preparing to launch a simplified startup system that makes entrepreneurship less intimidating and more accessible. My mission is to help people earn more, live more, and stop apologizing for wanting a bigger life.

At the end of the day, my brand is about freedom — the financial kind, the mental kind, and the kind that lets you show up boldly in every part of your life.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, three qualities really carried me through my journey: discipline, adaptability, and people skills.

Discipline came from my military background and my upbringing. It taught me how to show up even when motivation is gone. Honestly, that’s the difference between building something real and starting over every Monday. If you want to develop discipline, start with small, non-negotiable habits. Keep your word to yourself in the little things, and the big things get easier.

Adaptability was another game-changer. Life doesn’t care about your plans — things shift, people shift, industries shift. Being able to adjust without falling apart is a superpower. The best way to build adaptability? Put yourself in rooms, conversations, and opportunities that stretch you. Get comfortable being a beginner sometimes.

And finally, people skills. Success in any lane comes down to how well you understand, connect with, and lead people. You can have all the strategy in the world, but if you can’t communicate, inspire, listen, or influence, you’ll hit a wall. For anyone starting their journey, practice being present. Practice asking real questions. Practice being someone others can trust.

If you’re early in your journey, don’t stress about being perfect. Focus on being consistent, being open to growth, and being the kind of person who follows through. Those three skills — discipline, adaptability, and people skills — will take you further than talent alone ever will.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Absolutely — I’m always open to partnering with people who are serious about elevating their lives and the communities around them. I’m looking for individuals who want more, deserve more, and are ready to build something that goes beyond the traditional 9-to-5 cycle. If you’re thinking generationally — not just about what you can earn today, but what you can leave behind — then you’re my kind of person.

I’m also looking to collaborate with travel influencers who want to share their journeys in a meaningful, impactful way. Storytelling in travel is powerful, and I love connecting with creators who bring culture, authenticity, and adventure to their platforms.

Nonprofits are another big one for me. Many don’t realize how travel can be used as a fundraising tool, but it can — and I’m passionate about helping organizations leverage that to support their missions.

And for event and wedding planners: I always have clients looking for unique celebrations, both on land and at sea. If you’re all about creating exceptional experiences, we can do some amazing things together.

If you’re reading this and feel aligned, reach out. You can find me on Facebook under Tisha Spencer or on Instagram at @OGPlatinumTravels. I’m always excited to connect with people who lead with purpose, passion, and a desire to make life bigger than the basics.
