A Very Important Question – Are You a Mechanic or Owner?

Are you running your shop as a technician or as an owner?

Many automotive repair business owners I’ve interviewed over the past decade share a common regret—not stepping out of the technician role sooner. Their regrets run deep, yet when they finally made the transition, it transformed both their businesses and personal lives.

They didn’t have the roadmap to shift from technician to true business leader—someone who embodies the role of president or CEO rather than remaining a skilled hobbyist. They didn’t make this transition alone.

Their transformation began by connecting with industry peers and educating themselves at conferences, absorbing advice from business coaches. It continued by investing in professional coaching and treating their financial statements as seriously as medical test results. Just as blood markers reveal your physical health, your financial indicators expose your business health. Many don’t appreciate the significance of these numbers until they understand how to interpret them and how to fix them.

Over the past decade, we’ve produced more than 1,800 podcast episodes across the Remarkable Results genre to ignite your business knowledge and understanding. I call this “Episodic Education.” My request is simple: when you learn just one new thing, implement it! That one action will make my day—and hopefully yours too.
