Henry is twelve years old and already thinking about starting a own drone business. Obviously, he is too young to obtain a Part 107 and can’t legally make money flying drones yet. However, Henry is lucky in many ways. Because he is so young, he has years to perfect his flight skills and learn about what it takes to run a drone business.
After all, it takes more than just proper training and fantastic skills to become drone entrepreneur. The most successful drone business owners understand the industry inside and out. They understand the value that drones can provide and know how to connect with potential clients. They’ve thought long and hard about what they do and why they do it. Of course, this requires research and reading in the pursuit of knowledge.
Thanks for the question Henry. We’re excited your thinking about your drone business so early on in life. Luckily, there’s more information available than ever before. Go learn everything you can! Fly safe!
