RE-RELEASE

Matt Fanslow is the diagnostic tech/shop manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN. His primary responsibilities are to diagnose driveability and electrical/electronic issues, and perform most all programming, coding, initializing, adoptions, etc. Basically, if it needs to be figured out or has wires, it goes to Matt. He’s been a tech since 1996.

Matt is also a subject matter expert for ASE and has instructed at Vision Hi-Tech Training and Expo.

Matt has participated on 18 ASE technical committees for the ASE Practice Test, A6, A7, A8, and L1 tests. He’s also done case studies for Standard Motor Products.

Fanslow’s goal is to do everything in his power to improve the overall level of professionalism within the automotive and light truck repair trade and also raise the level of its public image. Hear Matt in previous episodes HERE.

 Key Talking Points:

• Look outside the industry to learn how to successfully promote the industry
• Matt takes a big leap and ties a concept of promoting professional wrestling to the aftermarket
• Main champion could make other champions look bad
• It made more sense to build the other guy up to help all players and build their performance group and have the fans appreciate all wrestlers
• We have a choice not to run a competitor shop into the ground. Help build them up
• You may have more training, one piece of equipment that succeeded in repairing the shop.
• You may be a better shop but there is no reason to put another shop (player) down.
• You win, the customer wins but do not trash your opponent.
•  A special thanks to Matt Fanslow for sharing his passion – For The Record.
• Books mentioned in the content library HERE
• Leave me an honest review on iTunes. Your ratings and reviews really help and I read each one of them.

Matt and Paul talk about their long friendship and that battle of work/life balance.

They go back a long way from the start of IAtn

He started in 2012 doing video’s

Scanner Danner started by putting up content for his students and it exploded from there

He started shooting crude video’s and there was no term like ‘YouTuber’

Paul does a lot of good process stuff

Paul does not look at other Youtubers to keep his own genuine style

He is subbing at his Rosedale (got to verify spelling - pull from episode I did with him) tech to help them out because of COVID

Loves teaching

Figuring out life balance while working from home

Being Present and having a presence

He loves to help people with their cars

Grandparent now. Life is changing

You must be active in working on your relationship

His audience wants to fix cars

He has a default to stop and fix cars, but Paul sees no end in sight.

Our industry does help each other.

I recently had the privilege to connect with Karen Monaco, a teacher for a local school district and advisor for the Big Picture Program during a local independent shop owner meeting. This national program puts students at the center of their own learning through “leave to learn” internships and shadowing at local businesses. If you’re not involved with education, this is your wake-up call to get started. All it takes is a phone call. My goal is that this episode shows you the way to engage our young people in our industry.

CHAPTER 4: THE ACCOUNTABILITY CHART The Accountability Chart is a supercharged organizational chart that forces you to be intentionally proactive about your structure, rather than reactively adapting a structure to fit your current people.

CHAPTER 5: THE 5 RULES You need absolute core alignment in your Visionary/Integrator relationship to harness the power of the unique combination.

RULE #1: Stay on the Same Page. This is accomplished through the Same Page Meeting.

RULE #2: No End Runs. It’s essential for the Visionary or the Integrator to not impede the effectiveness of the other.

RULE #3: The Integrator is the Tie Breaker. The basic rule of thumb is that the Sales Leader owns decisions on Sales issues, the Operations Leader owns Operations issues, and so on.

RULE #4: You Are an Employee When Working “in” the Business. If you are a Visionary or an Integrator and also an Owner, you must recognize that your role as an “Owner” is very different from your role as an “Employee.”

RULE #5: Maintain Mutual Respect. As a dynamic Visionary/Integrator duo, you must truly respect each other.

CHAPTER 6: FINDING EACH OTHER Choosing an Integrator entails hard work and takes time. Before you begin this important search process, you must make sure you are ready to commit.

It’s easy to discuss culture and workplace motivation, everyone understands people want to work in a positive environment. But did you ever stop to think about what truly motivates people? Guess what, it is unique to each person. Do you understand the tangible goals for each individual in your business based on what motivates them personally? Spoiler alert, money isn’t the main motivator for people.
