Today’s episode is brought to you by In-person Experience training scheduled for May 2023 in CO. In this unique training event, limited to ONLY 8 participants, you will be immersed in an experienced-based learning environment. You’ll take flight daily and often, and you’ll master cutting-edge drone techniques along the way. Learn from experienced pilots to get the most out of your drone. Also, build repeatable systems to scale your business.
You will be one of only 8 pilots to spend an entire week flying, learning, and mixing with the Drone U Flight Crew. Think of this training as a drone retreat… as we’ll hang out together at a resort style mountain location. Through the use of scenario-based missions, one-on-one coaching, and a competitive (but fun) environment, participants will expand their skill set and join the ranks of an elite group of drone pilots who command top dollar for their sought-after skills.
Today’s show is on running and growing a drone business as your main source of income. Our question for today is from Justin from British Colombia, Canada, who is currently running a drone business as a side business outside of his regular employment. Justin would like to know how he can prep on transitioning from a side business to permanent drone business. Thanks for the question Justin. On today’s show we discuss about setting yourself up for success by providing a framework for drone pilots to prep to delve into full time business. We talk about the mindsets, networking, focusing on areas of expertise and discuss how pilots can navigate through macro economic challenges and why all aim and no fire is never a good strategy.
If you are looking to delve into full time drone business but are apprehensive or never feel too prepared, Tune In Today’s show for all the right strategies !!
