Enthusiastic Entrepreneur Jonny Dodge Offers Exclusive Advice on Best Business Practices

Opening a business during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic was never in the plan for Jonny Dodge, the founder of My Ocean, but it happened. And, while no one could predict the extreme devastation that the pandemic would cause to billions of people across the globe, Dodge made the best of the situation while taking preventive measures and tackling travel challenges head-on.

While some businesses within the luxury travel industry took a hit because of the situation, My Ocean succeeded at a time when people wanted to escape daily life for a short while. What sets Dodge’s business apart from several others is the luxury experiences he provides, where clients can take a trip to Antarctica or hop on a submarine to experience what’s left of the Titanic. As a serial entrepreneur who’s had continuous success with his many ventures in the luxury travel and experiences industry, Jonny Dodge offers his advice on the best business practices to follow.

Do Your Research

Starting a business in a world where Covid-19 exists requires more thought and effort because you need to prepare for potential restrictions and other situations that can arise. However, if you’re willing to research before opening your business, you can prepare yourself for unexpected issues or challenges that you might encounter. Jonny Dodge is a travel enthusiast and adventurer who made sure to do the additional research while brainstorming and developing innovative ideas that travelers can enjoy.

Go the Extra Mile

Don’t settle for less when starting a business. If you’re willing to go the extra mile, it can lead to better results. “Life is too short, and people realize that, so they’re expecting to get more out of life. For example, the average trip to Spain isn’t cutting it, which is why My Ocean takes a traditional experience and amplifies it by providing more. The idea behind this is to give people what they want — amazing, breathtaking experiences that leave them with incredible memories,” said Jonny Dodge.

If you want to succeed, be sure to go the extra mile. Look at what your competition is doing and ask yourself, “What can I do to get ahead of them?” or “What can I offer to make their experiences even better than the competition?” If you can go beyond what consumers typically expect to get from a specific experience, you can make a name for yourself through word-of-mouth.

Keeping Pushing Along

Don’t let the risks keep you from the reward. When Jonny Dodge decided to open My Ocean, the pandemic was in full force, and people expected his business to fail because of it. However, he didn’t let the naysayers get to him or hold him back from pursuing a business venture that meant a lot to him. Instead, he continued to overcome adversity and jump over hurdles to bring revolutionary experiences to the public.

No matter what industry you’d like to get involved in, Jonny Dodge’s advice on best business practices is worth using to your advantage. Learn more from the inspirational serial entrepreneur by following him on Instagram @JonnyDodge_.
