Exploring Success in a Different Way with Denis Vincent
When it comes to success in business, most people think of just profits. After all, what can be more fun than making money with a new idea? On this very concept, thousands of startups and new companies have sprung up in different parts of the world. However, some entrepreneurs don’t see money as success. They often live for a cause and are driven by the passion for doing business. One such name is Denis Vincent. This Canadian businessman has been breaking norms since the start of his career, and he is more focused on creating value. In this post, we will try to know the story of Denis and how he has changed things for himself and people around him, despite the modest start.
A small start
Denis knew that he didn’t have a silver spoon, but from an early age, he wanted to do business and wanted to learn more about it. He also had a passion for flying – something that he pursued within 10 years of starting his career. Denis began working as an administrator for P.R.C.S. Construction Insulation, and he was with the company for a year. During this period, he realized that he had petite information about the practical aspects of business. That’s when he decided to work in sales, with the intention of exploring more options. For the next five years, he worked with Moto Bateau as a sales executive for boat and motorcycle sales and related services. He continued to work in auto sales for the next 10 years and has worked in global exports, including in regions like Asia and Russia.
The ultimate dream
In 1995, he started off his journey as a pilot. Yes, he is a trained aircraft and helicopter pilot and has been flying for almost 20 years. He indulgently admits that flying is his only passion beyond business, and he likes to move from coast to coast in the country, whenever he finds time. In the same period, Denis Vincent launched his company Heli Vincent Inc, which was established in January 1997 in Alberta, Canada. He works as the president of the business that mainly deals in dry leasing and sales of helicopter and airplanes. Denis is very close to this business in particular, as he has high hopes for the aviation industry of Canada.
Other amazing feats
Denis doesn’t believe that profits should be the only goal of entrepreneurs. "I know it’s tempting, but we are doing for the next generation is more important. My endeavors are meant to help my team, and others who have a real passion for work and want to achieve more than just money," he had once said in an interview. Denis also works as the chief financial officer for Strong Arm Labour & Contracting since November 2011. Besides these profiles, he is also involved in real estate and has worked with companies for some of the biggest mergers and acquisitions. Does he want to take a break? "No, I think that the passion for business drives me, and I want to inspire others," he had said once!
