TAHNER FRIEDLEY

Owner

This dream has been a long time in the making. My brother and I had ideas of owning our own business as teenagers. I grew up on a farm in central Alberta where we raised purebred Red Angus cattle and farmed around 2000 acres of land. Lots of work but definitely a great childhood. As my final year of high school approached I started to think about what I would do. Even with the thoughts of owning a business I didn’t know how or what I could do so I ended up pursuing my pilots license after meeting an Air Canada pilot. This was naturally very exciting as flying is an amazing experience and I fell in love with it. Throughout my senior year of high school I trained enough hours to receive my Private Pilot’s license and gained acceptance to Mount Royal College. While I was in college I had my first experience with a Multi-Level marketing company. There is a lot of negativity that follows this industry around but I will say one feature that this particular company employed was the book of the month. I can honestly say that some of the books that I read through this program changed my life. Even though I was not successful with my marketing business I learned a lot. Fast forward a couple years and I find myself situated in a small community on the banks of the Arctic Ocean. It is not always easy to find your first job in aviation and as my luck would have it I got my start flying for a small family owned company servicing an area of Nunavut as an Air Ambulance. There were a lot of great things I can look back on from my time there but one thing I remember is the feeling of wanting to start something of my own. My brother and I would talk about what we could do. We ended up settling on a Fast Food Franchise. This all took place as my time up north was ending and I was moving down to Edmonton to start a new job. My brother was going to manage the restaurant and I would help when I could. The excitement of this new venture didn’t last long though as we quickly realised that we did not pick the best location or the best franchise. I started to look around and ended up attending a weekend course on real estate. This led us down the path of house flipping. I took the lead on this as my brother was dealing with selling the restaurant. I found real estate to be a lot more enjoyable and profitable. There was the excitement of searching for the next property, planning all the reno’s, managing the different trades and then seeing the final product. I was able to do this while flying too which was nice. However, as I look back I should have quit my flying job and pursued my dream at that time but didn’t. Fast forward 9 years and I found myself in the perfect position as I was laid off from my flying job due to Covid and now had my chance to start a business and run it full time. We spent several months refining the details of the business plan, product selection and finding a suitable location. It all comes down to execution and taking everything I’ve learned over the years to build something great.
