If you let them, your challenges will change you. Stop and think about that.
Actually, stop is the keyword. In this business, we’re always moving — cars to fix, customers to call, bays to fill, techs to support, invoices to close. But growth doesn’t happen in the rush. It happens when you take a moment to reflect on what those daily challenges are really trying to teach you.
Every comeback job, every tough customer, every slow week — they’re all part of the process that’s shaping you into a stronger leader and a sharper operator. You’ve already proven you can handle hard things. The real power comes when you pause long enough to learn from them.
Don’t let your challenges keep repeating themselves. Turn them into teachers. Maybe it’s time to dig into the data, invest in continuing education, or lean on your network for ideas. Every time you do, you grow your shop, your team, and yourself.
Because when you stop, reflect, and grow — your challenges stop controlling you.
You become the driver of change.
