    Investors and partners for my auto restoration business

    EXECUTION 
    Hello Everyone, I posted a thread about my vintage auto restoration business last week and had some really good replies. These made me rethink the direction I need to take this business. My question is about investors and partners. I have pretty much reached my limits as far as capital and am...

    What skills you wish you learned sooner ?

    IDEA 
    Hiring properly. Lost an insane amount of money over the years by hiring the wrong people and keeping them way too long. Never believe anything someone says in an interview.

    Can a brick and mortar service business ever be fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the reply. I am raising my prices for sure as the level of work we are producing is truly world class and ranks right up there with the best shops around. This first year was really about getting traction and getting systems established but also was a massive stress inducing time...

    Can a brick and mortar service business ever be fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    Yes I guess referring to this as a time prison is just a reflection of me getting a little burnt out. The market for vintage auto paint and body is massive as there are very few shops doing it and even fewer doing it well. I have thought about developing a system that is completely...

    Can a brick and mortar service business ever be fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    I agree the first year in business is the worst. I went through 5 employees that either totally lied to me as far as their abilities, stole from me, basically checked out (quiet quit) as soon as it stopped being fun or were drama queens. Things are not quite as stressful now that I have good...

    Can a brick and mortar service business ever be fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    Hello Everyone, I have not posted in a while but am here daily. As I posted about a year ago, I started a brick and mortar vintage auto restoration/paint and body shop. We only work on vintage and musclecars and do not do general collision insurance work. Fast forward a year and it is a total...

    Alcohol drinking habits

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I would also like to add cannabis to that list of never touch drugs if you value your brain. Watch Hubermans episode on weed and brain health and I can assure you that you will never consider putting that chemical in your brain. I used to think weed was pretty benign and harmless. Maybe 30...

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I have found nutritionfacts.org to have tons of real information. Not just opinions but real scientific facts from peer reviewed studies. This is run by Dr Michael Greger and he has a lots of Youtube videos. I eat only real, whole food vegan with all meals made from scratch and that has really...

    What makes a good solo-entrepreneur?

    MINDSET 
    I completely agree about solopreneurship being possible with a digital product. I have always been in the physical product (vintage auto parts) or retail ( auto repair and body shop businesses) You are correct it is pretty much impossible to make it in these industries working alone, as I...

    What makes a good solo-entrepreneur?

    MINDSET 
    Hello, I have been self empolyed with me as the only worker and I have also owned businesses with multiple employees, general manager in place, etc. I can tell you with that the solopreneur thing just caused me to hate life and feel constantly burnt out and stressed. I was working ALL THE TIME...

    Is the Law Of Attraction real?

    MINDSET 
    I feel that when you study the Law Of Attraction its main benefit is that it puts you in a state of mind to see the opportunities that are basically all around us.

    How much should you care? (That the world is burning)

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I literally have not turned a tv on or watched anything from any media outlet in 5 years. Some family members are obsessed with what the latest political bs, what happened to Trump today, the "stolen" election, bla bla. When they try to tell me the newest "news" I just laugh and say I could...

    Father-figure abandonment and entrepreneurship...

    This probably had something to do with me being an entrepeneur as well. My father was a good, loving man that provided for his family but also had a VERY SERIOUS addiction to pills, speed and alcohol. From the time I was about 10 I never saw him sober and mostly learned to avoid him. When he...

    Who read Napoleon Hill books?

    BOOKS 
    I have read Law of Success a couple times over the years. I will say Hill rambles a LOT but there is some really good info there. I would more skim the book for the high points.

    Is a 4 or 5 day work week better

    PEOPLE 
    Hello Everyone, as I have posted I am in the process of moving our vintage auto repair and restoration shop and wanted some advice. My question is what are your thoughts on 4 day vs 5 day work weeks? Basically 4 10 hour days instead of 5 8 hour days. This 4 day model is not widely used in the...
