Today’s show is about setting up and managing a successful drone business WITHOUT quitting your day job.

To help Billy out, we first lay out the most important things that he must consider when making this difficult transition.

You will learn how to master the art of selling on the internet. And how to build your brand while reaching out to your target audience.
