Most of us drive nearly every day, whether on the commute to work or to pick up groceries or to take the occasional road trip. With so much time spent in the car, it's vital that you keep your vehicle in excellent working order. When you take your vehicle in for standard maintenance or for a necessary car repair, you're ensuring the safety of your loved ones and of your investment. But where you take your car for service matters; does your local auto body shop provide top quality care for your car? We spoke with Louie Sharp, the owner of Sharp Auto Body in Illinois, all about how to ensure you're getting the best vehicle care possible.

Louie Sharp is wired to help people. He’s been serving others non-stop since the 1970s when he served us all in the United States Marine Corps. After his release, Louie continued in the Marine Reserves for another sixteen years where he was a jet engine mechanic on both “E” and “N” model Huey helicopters. After active duty, the automotive world seemed to be calling his name. So in 1980 Louie became a full time apprentice body man with Scott’s Auto Body in Arlington Heights, Illinois. At the same time he took the first step toward owning his own shop. In 1981 Sharp Auto Body opened its doors, and the dream was a reality. By the late ‘80s Louie was ready for another challenge and opened his towing business where he continues to offer 24 hour towing service. Louie Sharp is committed to excellence and well-being in everything he does. Safety, integrity and outrageous customer service are the keys to his success. I-Car certified, he is a graduate of the Automotive Management Success Program. He is an active member of the Automotive Service Association as well as DuPont’s Performance Alliance and 20 Group Programs.

When you first encounter someone, you involuntarily develop initial impressions about them: they look well-dressed; they arrived late and seem frazzled; they seem rather snobby. While we all know that first impressions matter on the personal level, they also matter professionally. What does your personal brand style say about you as a salesperson? Is it something that will inspire prospects to want to work with you? Will they trust that you'll provide what they need, when they need it? In our new podcast, we spoke with Dawn Stebbing all about how to develop a personal brand that effectively sells you and your business.

The pervasive idea in our society is that achievements need to happen when we're young. If you miss milestones by a certain age, it's too late... or so they say. But as so many successful, happy people can attest, wins can occur at any age. Our guest Jannette Anderson proclaims she is #NotDoneByALongShot, and we should all embrace this attitude! On this episode of our Claim Your Career Crown podcast, Jannette talks about "maturepreneurs," getting older, and how we're actually aging like fine wine.

Professional Services for a Canadian Fortune 500 company. Her breadth of experience and depth of expertise help you succeed at whatever stage you are at! 

She is passionate about working with maturepreneurs to identify, claim, and position their value so they can make a meaningful difference AND a magnificent living! 

Her other major passion (besides Scrabble and zip lining across jungles on three continents and counting…) is facilitating personal transformation. Jannette is dedicated to helping experts and business owners get the four inches between their ears working so that their business can work!
