Heaven help anyone else on here that starts a thread with spelling mistakes, people from Lagos might be allowed one!

aucky, you give lots of good advice, thanks, i do think if i give the venue away ill lose my usp. so let me keep working on this, hopefully i will be able to give "one of you lot" (kidding) :cool: a job one day. I doubt i will be a cpl now i will just like to open up a company and make some money, and to the person who says put it as a tax right off against someone richer than i, no i want a P/L and balance sheet to be happy with.to the others saying you have a lot to learn... well thats why im here, yet you didnt tell me much i didnt already know, easy to sit on the side lines, im stepping up and putting my life savings into this so hey ho
|
R44, I've been flying helicopters for a living since the late 1970s. The one piece of advice I'd offer? Don't put all your life savings into anything to do with the helicopter business because you are likely to end up with nothing.
|
wow........ in one night you have all taught me alot, dispite my efforts, and my dreams you win, im going to take my money eles where.The very people who i thought would be helpful..... im done, your right more money to be made elese where. good luck to you all.:ugh: o and sorry if ive mis spelt anything, like thats important!
|
Please let him be gone!
|
Good luck, R44. My advice was well meant and the best I could offer. You're almost certain to lose your money if you try to begin a helicopter company with no knowledge of even how to fly one. Many very experienced people have tried and lost the lot.

It's your money and it's your life.....
The industry is littered with pilots who believed that if only they owned the machine they would fix all the wrongs of the industry and get rich doing it. There were winners and losers. To decide to do this without actually working in the industry...let's just say it is very bold. The regulations are onerous, the costs are high, and the margins are generally low. If hearing the truth is destroying your 'dream', I can only say better now than later. If you thought that you would get a bullet-proof business plan and all the trade secrets from a quickie post on PPRuNe, then :eek: !!! |
r44 - Helicopters aside, have you ever had any experience in managing/starting any kind of business?
Have you heard of something called a business plan or even a feasibility study? Do you know what they are and what they do? Do you know that if they are good enough you wouldn't even need to spend all your money? Thought not! :cool: But, as has been said, one wastes ones breath. |
He's definitely gone now - surely. Shy - shame on you, stop encouraging the idiot.:yuk:

once a bully !!!

Grenville Fortescue -- a business plan/feasibility study isn't much use in the tropics. Well, you could turn it into a sun hat perhaps.
|
hopeful,
I'll give just a few tips having been in the establishing of new and successful helicopter tourist operations business's three times in the past.

I'm not begrudging the lad his dream for one moment - but far better he appreciate some of the realities he might face (if ever he pursues this) and far better he try and learn some of those realities here on an innocuous forum rather than sitting opposite a bank manager, client or prospective business partner. |
Tet and Grenville... lest we forget the most important thing of all:
* Get cosy with those in power |
