When it comes to staying motivated and active, you can easily fall into the trap of stagnation. However, some individuals constantly strive to keep themselves limber and moving forward. These individuals act as the “oil” for the symbolic Tin Man, ensuring they never rust in one place.
My five-year-old grandson Donovan watched The Wizard of Oz this past weekend with Grandpa for the first time. There are so many lessons for all ages in this eighty-four-year-old classic. It has always been one of my favorites. In the last eight years, my mission has been being the ‘oil can’ for the independent automotive service industry.
I thank all the ‘oilers’ who have come on the podcast to share their wisdom to pay it forward so others can get a spark of a strategy or idea for themselves.
