1. One sentence that describes what you do…
Through my online courses and blog, I help ambitious women elevate and monetize their websites to new heights, so they can create the life they have been pinning about.
I am also the founder of the female travel community and go-to blog, We Are Travel Girls, and bespoke affordable luxury group trip company, Travel Girls Getaways.
2. The first thing I do when I wake up…
Look at my phone and check my emails even though I absolutely know I should not do this!
Then it’s either straight into the shower or on my static bike for a cycle first—either way, I am at my desk by 7:00 a.m. most days with a cup of English Breakfast tea in hand ready to get to work!
3. The quote I live by…
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. —Maya Angelou

- I couldn’t live without Quickbooks for accounting.
- Asana for managing all my tasks across multiple businesses.
- ConvertKit for serving my email subscribers.
- Tailwind for managing my Pinterest.
- Loom for creating quick video replies to my community.
5. On my bookshelf, you will find…
A bunch of business books that every entrepreneur should read! My favorites are:
- The One Thing by Gary Keller
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport
6. Every woman needs to try this at least once…
Blue light glasses! If you are working at a computer as much as me then I am sure you will be grateful you wore them when you are 80!
7. My favorite beauty brands and items…
I cannot recommend Skinceuticals Dark Spot corrector enough. It’s amazing, and you cannot go wrong with any of their products! And for cleansing, try Eve Lom Cleanser—it’s the best!
8. The best piece of advice I’ve ever received…
To go for something without hesitation and know that whatever way things work out, good or bad, you will learn from the experience and gain clarity that can help you in the future.

I have two businesses, so I usually split my day between BeckyvanDijk.com and WeAreTravelGirls.com.
I typically begin my day working on my travel business, answering emails, creating, editing and publishing content, responding to partnership requests, and then I spend the afternoon on my online education business.
Managing two businesses is tough, so I am very list focused and break up my week with goals and tasks to make sure everything gets done! I give myself three must-do big “move my business forward” tasks a week.
Then I break these down into smaller daily tasks. Every day I give myself three to five things that absolutely must get done, and everything else is a bonus!
