INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, you’ll be successful.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
One struggle I had was just before I started my own shop. I wasn’t getting paid very much at my job, and I quit. I literally jumped quickly into opening my own shop, and I didn’t think about all the details; I just did it. I went through a difficult time in my life, and I ended up living in my shop for over a year. If I had to do it all over again, I would really consider the costs involved. A financial plan is important when thinking about opening a business, and so is finding a mentor who can help direct you.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
I haven’t had my first special car yet. My first special car will be my first Porsche GT3.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
Don’t sweat the small stuff, and everything’s the small stuff.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Rupus buffers are great! Griot’s buffers are also awesome.
RECOMMENDED BOOK
Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Richard Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter
PARTING WORDS OF ADVICE
