Ep 4: Trevor Cowley: Host of Real Business Owners Podcast; Student Pilot; Investor & Entrepreneur

The Leaders of Aviation

Joining Jeff is the host of the Real Business Owners podcast and owner of Easier Accounting, Trevor Cowley. Growing up poor, Trevor learned early on that if he wanted something, he had to figure out how to go and get it. He would fish lost golf balls out of the bushes, polish them up, and sell them back to the golfers to make a little money. He didn’t realize it at the time, but he was on his way to being an entrepreneur. Trevor says he was so eager to have the title of entrepreneur that he threw money at dumb opportunities. His first real venture into entrepreneurship was investing in a trucking company that failed.

He’s had more failures than successes, but he says it’s all a numbers game. With a few of his businesses doing well now, Trevor believes all the failures were worth it, as they taught him invaluable lessons. He’s learned to pivot when needed and has built his confidence. Ready to learn something new and broaden his horizons, Trevor decided to give flight school a try. His next big goal is to one day own his own aircraft.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to sign up for the Real Business Owners mastermind class.
• How to overcome imposter syndrome.
• How Trevor’s past affected his piloting journey and why he almost dropped out of flight school.
• How aviation correlates with life and business.
