Podcast: The Life of Shop Owners w/ Joe Marconi

Listen Later

In this episode of Ratchet+Wench Radio, my guest is R+W columnist Joe Marconi. Joe owned his shop Osceola Garage for 41 years before retiring in 2022. Today, he talks about the things that keep shop owners up at night and other situations shop owners face. 

 

We discuss:

  • The 'What if's" that cause anxiety in shop owners
  • The responsibility of providing gainful employment and benefits to your team
  • How to confront your negative thinking
  • How to delegate and break perfectionism
  • The importance of creating the right systems and processes for success
  • How one-on-one meetings create confidence in a shop owner's vision

  • How to always remember what you're grateful for and why you do what you do
