Running a business is hard, and in running a repair shop, you really shouldn't manage everything on your own. That's why at my shop I trust a few other businesses to help me reach success. I recommend you AT LEAST look them up, and learn more. Whether you use them or not is up to you. Or I guess, running your shop into the ground by NOT using them is your choice...

For shop management, I think Tekmetric is the best. Find out why HERE

For coaching, which has been crucial for me, I use Elite Worldwide. You can too HERE

For marketing, which I think as a shop owner, you NEED help with. Use Turnkey HERE

In this episode, I get Rich Cox and Dan Buss to confess their failures with me. Since we all know each other so well, we really get into it.  If you have a confession to make, leave one for me to play on the podcast when you call 704-CONFESS. We'd love to hear from you!
