Episode Notes:

Join me as I navigate the automotive extravaganza that was SEMA 2023, the world's premier automotive trade event. From exploring the massive displays in the sprawling Las Vegas Convention Center to building invaluable connections at after-parties, this episode will reveal why SEMA is a must-attend. Remember, it's not just about the latest in tires, tools, accessories, ADAS, collision equipment and measuring systems – it's also about so much more!

If you’ve never attended, and you are in any way, shape or form, part of this industry, whether on the manufacturer, supplier, provider, or repairer/installer side of automotive…or, if your income or lively hood revolves around automobiles, their parts, their repairs, or customization… you NEED to make sure you attend this madness at least ONCE in your career!

Although I didn’t get to see everything I wanted to, didn’t connect with everyone I wanted to… It’s a great place to connect with our peers, suppliers, creators or inventors of the newest technology, tools & equipment… our industry leaders, Social-Media influencers, movers, shakers, and many of the auto-worlds icons.

Whether you need a single piece of equipment or plan to deck out an entire shop, SEMA is the place to explore options, ask questions, and make savvy buying decisions. So, strap-in, as I share my TOP 4 REASONS TO GO in this week’s episode!

At the end of the week, physically & mentally exhausted, feet sore, voice shot, sleep-deprived but so happy I was there, I left with 2 thoughts:

“WOW” … WHAT A RIDE, I CAN’T WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR!” and…

“WHY HAVEN’T YOU ATTENDED THIS LEGENDARY EVENT YET?”

Episode Notes:

Ever felt that gnawing dread of letting someone down? That fear of disappointing others that drives your every decision? … yeah, me too!

Do you strive relentlessly for the “perfect” customer experience, or look past the short-comings of the low-performers on your team, because the thought of disappointing either one strikes fear in you?

Does the idea of disappointing someone close to you, maybe even in your family, cause you to make decisions that don’t necessarily line-up with your core values?

In this week’s podcast, we tackle this fear head-on, discussing how it shapes our interactions with customers as well as our valuable employees. With the help of motivational speaker & author, Mel Robbins who has been wrestling with this fear since she was in fourth grade, shares valuable insights into how you can manage such fears and strike a healthy balance in your pursuit of customer and employee satisfaction, without sacrificing your values or compromising your business.

GUEST: Mel Robbins

Episode Notes:

Have you ever found yourself on the verge of making a critical decision, only to be held back by a feeling of fear or apprehension… wanting to make a change in your life, but didn’t follow through?

Do you have that “gut feeling” you are meant to advance in your business or personal life, but the thoughts in your head (what I call the inner villain) keep you from going for it?

Do your own limiting beliefs in your mind or those of others around you keep you playing small... playing it safe?

You're not alone - this is your brain's amygdala at work, often creating fears that can hold us back from reaching our true potential.

On this week’s podcast, we're going to shed light on how a little part of our brain, the amygdala, creates these limiting beliefs, and even more importantly, how we can overcome them… together, we’ll destroy that “inner villain”, so you can finally move forward!

Episode Notes:

Ever notice how some businesses really grow, expand, and branch-out, while others just seem to stay stagnant… unchanged… just getting by?

When’s the last time you got out of your shop and attended an industry event, off-site training, tradeshow or just met with other shop owners to discuss best practices?

Could joining a mastermind group ignite your business or personal life to unprecedented heights?

Mastermind groups are more than just a networking opportunity; they're a catalyst for growth and success. Tune in to understand how this could be your golden ticket to scaling your business or personal life to the next level.

Connecting with like-minded individuals, sharing knowledge, and providing mutual support are the pillars of mastermind groups, a concept dating back to Ben Franklin's Junto Group and immortalized by Napoleon Hill's famous book "Think and Grow Rich".

Join us this week, as we reshare the concept from an earlier episode, that will allow you to multiply the success you experience, in both your business and personal lives, by simply spending time with other like-minded individuals, on a regular basis. Being part of a Mastermind group, allows you to harness the power of many minds working on solutions that benefit the group. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, financial, or shop’s performance, joining a Mastermind is the quickest way to your next level!
