So...I'm not good at marketing. Some people tell me I am, but to me, it's not a strong suit of mine. Plus, I don't have the time to do it even if I thought I was good. So, I use Turnkey Marketing. They're great. Find out for yourself HERE

Today's episode I recorded at an Elite Worldwide event in Dallas with two people I know through a peer group I'm in at Elite. So, it's safe to say I'm a big proponent of their coaching services. So, yeah, I think the least you should do is look them up. Do that HERE

I talk about them all the time, because without them, I'm not sure where I'd be as a shop owner. Tekmetric has made my shop what it is. You should use them. Would I steer you wrong? Learn more HERE

Richard worked at a dealership for years, now he owns a repair shop. How did that happen? He tells me today. Harrison is a second-generation shop owner like me, and we talk about the things we've learned and mistakes we've made. Hopefully, so you won't follow in our footsteps. We also drink whiskey with ice.
