Key Talking PointsSuccessor struggle- when every day is a struggle

“Advanced Financial Strategies for Peace of Mind”- what is it that you need to pay attention to in business? KPI’s need to be reviewed every day, don’t wait until the end of the month. It needs to also be shared with employees. “If you don’t share, they don’t care.”Don’t make decisions without data- it lets you know what you need to work on and prioritize. Strategic thinking instead of working on many things at once. 

How do you know what to fix? Pause and do analysis.Make cars count vs car count. 

Coaches change clients- is this someone who is willing to put words into action?You need an investable business in order to retire- can’t wait until the end to start working on your business

You have to want to change yourself and your business. If not don’t hire a coach or even join a networking group

Focus on one particular area of concern, get it right, then move on to the next. Stop the smorgasbord of quick fixes.You can’t wait to fix the business when you want to sell or retire. It takes a few years depending on the depth of the struggle

P& L statement- don’t ask your accountant how the business is doing, don’t rely on them to take the pulse of the business. Most accountants have clients in all different industries, they don’t know how to “fix” your automotive service business. Ask them to perform one job and that is to minimize your tax liabilities.

Finances in your business is just a big math problem to solveLabor rate- gross profit percent on labor, labor parts split, hours per repair order

Sales forecasting and budgeting- have goals, targets and expectationsConnect with the show:
