SOP #100-1 Paint Your Picture Each Year
The New Year is here, everybody. Let’s continue our discussion from last month and push a little bit further. Last month, we discussed “Looking Back to Look Forward” to see what had worked, as well as what we needed to change. This month, let’s discuss greater goals and what we can do in order to set ourselves up for a home run in business!
While many focus on more immediate New Year’s resolutions, like “get this weight off,” haha, now is also a great time to consider long-term “dream” goals we have as business owners. This is the time to start fresh and think about the future….the future we have always dreamed about.
For many of us, the ultimate goal in our business is to sell! We eventually want to reach a point where we spend all of our time doing what we love, with who we love, as our business runs smoothly on its own. If our goal is to sell or phase ourselves out of daily operations, then how do we do that? What systems do we need in place for that to happen? What do we need to have documented for our business to be marketable to a buyer? Start thinking about the groundwork and what you need to do to make that ultimate dream a reality.
We can’t overstate just how important it is to nurture our work/life balance. I know you might be asking yourself, “What work/life balance?” That is precisely the problem! Evaluate your life, as well as how you want to spend it. Are you doing what you love with who you love, or are you struggling to get through each week? Restructure some things, then find out how to spend more time with your friends and family. The bottom line is this: the happier and more fulfilled you are, the better you will perform in business, period.

“No Yoda, no Jedi knight.” This quote emerged when Shop Owner Magazine interviewed our very own guide Brian Gillis. The management focused article Is A Business Coach Right For You? asks us all a very important question. Is retaining a dedicated coaching program the right choice for every auto repair shop owner in every situation?
Training is event based. It can take place in one or multiple courses. Either virtual or in-person events count as training. However, coaching is about a relationship that grows over time. When you are vetting a potential guide for your automotive service center business, take a step back and consider the offer. Here are some tips to consider:
Remember, a good coach wants your shop to succeed. Whether or not you choose them, their passion for your success in the automotive industry comes first.
Take it from Brian: Do not leave your shop money on the table. There are no silver bullets. You have to be transparent with the coach you choose. Also, you have to put in the work for them to help you. Now is the time for you to invest in yourself and your auto shop business. You need to hire your own dedicated auto repair business coach!

Your independent automotive repair shop lacks direction. Maybe your business plan has stalled out, since you are not meeting your goals for growth.
