How to Start and Grow an Aircraft Maintenance Business in 30 Days or Less
A&P Mechanics: Tired of feeling undervalued?
Do you drag yourself out of bed, just to spend the majority of your day investing your blood, sweat, and maybe even tears into a company that doesn’t seem to care? Do you feel like just a number? Or like you’re never getting ahead? Do you wish you could be excited to start your day, make more money doing it, control your schedule, and loving what you do—all while building your own aviation empire?

Whether you want to create additional income on the side as an independent aircraft mechanic or open an aircraft maintenance business of your own, this will be invaluable. You can change your life for the better!
Isn't that a lot of work? 🤔
In my experience, yes. BUT... It doesn't have to be. Here's why...

But before you do...
Let me tell you how I became the owner of an aircraft maintenance business
It all began when I graduated from A&P school. It was 2009, in Des Moines, IA, where I grew up, the opportunities for aircraft mechanics were scarce. For many months, I struggled to find my first job as a newly licensed A&P and for the first time in my life, I packed up my bags and left everything familiar behind—heading to Ft. Rucker, AL, for a job maintaining Bell 206s and UH-60 helicopters.
This was my first real mechanic job, and for a while, things were good. I was making decent money, and I even started to form a few connections. But not long after, a feeling of being just another cog in the machine started to set in. I began to feel invisible, like my work and my contribution didn’t really matter.
On top of that, I was over a thousand miles away from home. The distance from family and friends weighed on me, and I found myself feeling more and more isolated. Ever been there? That feeling of emptiness, like you’re giving everything and getting nothing back? I reached a breaking point, and I knew something had to change. Are you feeling the same way?
I wanted to have the freedom to live where I wanted, but there weren’t many mechanic jobs that pay well in my hometown. We’re not a big aviation state. I didn’t want to feel like a number anymore either and I wanted to make top notch pay. I thought and thought about how I could do this….
Then it hit me...
I have to start my own aircraft maintenance business!
So, I took matters into my own hands. I started mapping out my future and deciding right then and there that I was going to create a life where I could make exceptional money and choose where I wanted to work. That’s when I decided to start my own aircraft maintenance business. That was the start of a wild ride, full of major challenges and hard lessons, but I had my AH HA moment and I could see a way out!
Sure I knew that owning a business would come with some perks, but I didn’t know that it would also come with many hidden benefits:
First, not only did I start making more money than I did as a mechanic, but...
I learned how to use my company to financially support my aviation hobby and best of all it’s 100% legal! 👍
Listen, I’m not a social butterfly, but owning an aircraft maintenance business allowed me to be comfortable in my own skin. This allowed me to meet so many more inspiring people. From customers to fellow employees, my social network blew up!
Believe it or not, I actually got in better shape! This is because I wanted to get up in the morning and get after the day instead of dragging myself out of bed each morning.
Life is all about the journey. So far, my journey has been action packed! I’m looking forward to what’s ahead, but now…
It’s time for you to start!
