What You Need To Know Before Starting Your Drone Business

One of the questions I get asked all the time is what do I have to do to get started? And the first thing you have to do is just decide. Decide you're going to do it. The the great thing is drones are easier to fly and harder to crash than ever before in history. So we have this unbelievable opportunity of, you know, the demand being way up here, the supply being down here, and the technology being so ridiculously easy. And the other part about that is that the expectations of the clients are almost zero. So you can get in without a lot of skill, without a lot of practice, without a lot of knowledge. It won't be like that for long. And in fact, the way this kind of works out is it's like if think about if you were going to start a pizza business and you were the only pizza place in the whole city. It was it. If anyone wanted pizza, they came to you. you could kind of suck and still do really well because you're the only pizza place in town. And so you're going to get everybody's business, which is pretty cool. And that's kind of the position we're in now. Now, what's going to happen as things even out and the demand and the supply balance out, then it's going to be like every other business. And yeah, at that point, can you still start a drone business? Yeah. But it's going to be a hundred times harder because it's just like going to New York and opening a new pizza shop. How hard is it going to be to be the number one pizza shop there? It's near impossible. Expectations from your clientele are so much harder. Um and then what you have to learn and do and bring to the table is going to be so much higher. Right now the the key is just getting out there and actually doing it. People get so hung up about thinking that they need to know everything. You know, I love uh there's a famous quote from Richard Branson that says just say yes and then figure out how to do it. And that's what really separates successful people from unsuccessful people. The unsuccessful people think, well, I have to know everything. I What if they ask me some question that I don't know? What if they ask me how many milliamps are in my controller battery? or you know what's the what's the focal length of my secondary camera on my and the reality is 99% of the time no one's ever going to ask any of those questions. And what happens is people spend all this time, hundreds of hours and often times weeks, months, sometimes even years on the sideline waiting till they feel confident enough where they can answer any and every single question on planet Earth before they even get started. The ones that are successful, they just say, "Yeah, let's figure it out and if someone asks them a question and they don't know the answer, they're like, "Oh, that's a great question. I um you know, let me double check on that. I want to make sure I get you the right info and I'll get back to you." And then they just go on and it's no big deal and they get the deal, they say yes, and they figure it out. Cuz the reality is you're going to learn more in 15 minutes of going out and actually doing a project for a client than you will in 6 months of trying to prepare. and you know all the paralysis by analysis of of getting out there and what if this and what if that and then you you start secondguing and you're like oh I should I should do this and I should do that and I I and then you should all over yourself and nothing ends up happening and you're just back in the same place that you started right so just if you if they just get out there and do it that's probably the the biggest thing that's that's there and again there are different levels of this now I don't want you to just for people go out and just willy-nilly go out and and fly beyond their means or trying to do bigger projects cuz there are just like anything there are varying degrees of projects, you know, like something as as simple as real estate photography, going out and taking pictures for realtors of houses.
