CarmCast Power Panel [CC 102]
Key Talking Points
- Perseverance through COVID 19
- Trends- becoming multi-shop owner when the time is right
- Poor systems with great people, great systems will struggle with poor people
- Trust is key- nothing happens without it
- “No one can do it better than I can”
- Delegate- decisions, shop management
- Plan- overarching plan for employees and for the business
- Communication- how will the plans be executed? You have to hear twice as much as you give out. Ask, Ask Ask, instead of Tell, Tell, Tell.
- Who is the face of your business?
- EV- don’t be afraid of EV, things will need to be repaired. Coastal cities have the oldest infrastructures, houses may need to be retrofitted.
- Work-life balance is “seasons” balancing means something is giving. No one can perfectly balance everything. Make sure your schedule both personal and professional things
- Recharge- change of environment, travel, family time
