Setting up my "Discovery Flight" with the gift certificate that I received for Christmas to the RedBird Skyport Flight Training School for the first week of March. I am fortunate to live close to this facility, as I am impressed with their mix of simulator training along with traditional flight education.
I am looking forward to touring the school, learning more about the program, and taking another flight.
Since my experience at the AOPA Aviation Summit in October of last year I have been slowly learning more about General Aviation. While I am not ready to commit to the lessons (I do not want to do that until I can afford the financial and time commitment), I am enjoying moving myself along the path.
Have A Great Day

Learning To Fly A Plane Is Like Starting A Business
As I continue to learn about flight I am amazed at how many thing one has to remember all at the same time. Each lesson of my online "Ground School" class adds another dimension of something to remember. Another ball to keep in the air (so to speak). I have not yet gotten into a plane (other than as a passenger), but the amount of information that I realize I need to know keeps growing.
This is not really that different from starting a business. Each day there is something more complex to add to the mix, and I am always reminded how delicate the whole infrastructure can be, and that I am the one in charge. There is always something to be thinking about, and a mistake can be costly. My business is more than just me, as everyone around me is linked to my successful navigation of my journey.
I may have mentioned it on this blog before, but I think that all wannabe entrepreneurs should also study to become a pilot. Aviation is not something to be entered into lightly, and neither is starting a business. Both can bring great rewards, but there are not any shortcuts that will get you there without sacrificing safety.
Slowly I am progressing as a someday pilot and as a current entrepreneur. I am excited about both adventures, but seem to constantly be overwhelmed about what I am undertaking. I have tied the two together, as I need the business to be more successful to be able to afford the flying lessons, and once I have my pilots certificate I can better travel to my Texas clients (and beyond).
At least I am having fun with all of it!!!
