Mike Howard has been in sales since 6th grade; being an entrepreneur was in his blood. In his adult years he helped to grow other people’s companies before he decided to grow his own. Mike was inspired to start a cleaning company to be able to hire friends and family and pay them a decent wage. He says he’s always been passionate about creating opportunities for others.
Down the road, Mike was introduced to the world of chartering private jets. Just like his other jobs, Mike got into this industry because of who he knows. Making connections is key to growing as an entrepreneur. Mike knew nothing about aviation before this opportunity, but he knew people that did, and that was enough. Now his business, JetSetter, is thriving.
What You’ll Learn:
How Mike started his entrepreneurial journey in 6th grade.
How Mike got into the jet chartering business.
Why accounting for your company is so important.
Why Mike has no desire to become a pilot.
