Developed and launched a few years ago, Michael’s company’s mission is to deliver excellence and reliability in the luxury charter jet space to an elite clientele.

  • Strategies for building their presence in the space
  • Episode Highlights:

    [14:38] Finding the Right Market

    Pay attention to the kind of market that is not already oversaturated and where you can add the most value. On top of that, identify where you have the most interest.  Combine all these three, and you will find opportunities on the other side.

    [24:37] Finding Your Team

    Surround yourself with people that have the same type of mindset as you have, and the same work ethic and dedication as you do. Align yourself with  people  who are like-minded morals and business acumen.

    [25:43] Not Everyone is Your Client

    Not everyone is your client. You have the power to decide the kind of clients you want to do business with and whether they align with the overall vision of your brand. And so, you’ve got to know who your target market is and how you’re going to serve them.
