  • Why are so many shops offline?
    read the book by Timothy Ferriss “4 hour work week”. Wonderful insight to greater productivity out of less effort and time, thus increasing productivity and efficiency.
  • How are your shops doing during this pandemic?
    Luckily here in Florida, auto repair shops were deemed essential businesses so we were still able to work, though our traffic fizzled out. we were able to get enough work to pay the bills and weather the slow holiday period. Business has picked up in Orlando since new years and I hope it's long term. You are all in my heart as tradesmen (and woman) and I wish you a fruitful 2021 !! Cheers !!
  • Why are so many shops offline?
    We have been a small family business for over twenty years. My father started our company in 1994 after a 14 year job as an employee. My grandfather was a furniture upholsterer his whole career. So from personal experience, old tradition lingers long. Even in my personal life I resisted things like Facebook or twitter, but eventually relented to the obvious fact that this fad is not going away anytime soon. I finally came to the realization that we can't go on any longer without an online presence. So at this moment i am process of bringing our business into the next generation. I am also in the process of getting my bachelors in business administration ( at 33 yrs. old, man high school was long ago. Lol) , and I'm hoping to put this education toward our industry, be it an association, vocational or community college courses, the list goes on. We have a bright future ahead. Thanks for the rant. Lol
  • Business software
    We use quick books in our office too. 10+ years and never had to worry about changing software, just lots of software updates. Lol
