The Best 15 Min. For Detailers
Hi, I’m Joe DiFiore, owner/operator of DiFiore’s Auto Detailing and No Buff Too Tuff Detailer Training in Cleveland, TN.
Simple can look drab, and let’s face it, just downright boring! Simply boring is associated with the same old grind like a stick in the mud, right? Wrong. Simply boring can be pretty exciting. Let me tell you how it works.
Let’s design a business model together that incorporates what you love in life with an activity you enjoy, like auto detailing. You will often hear me say my business is a lifestyle.
What is a lifestyle business?
What I mean by setting up a lifestyle detailing business is this, together we will incorporate your personal and business expense budget profiles, combine those with the type of lifestyle or goals you are working to achieve, correlate those statistics with your target number of weeks you are currently working and help you design your plan with our proprietary 42 workweek shop schedule.
In my early thirties, about my fifth year in business, I realized something, I was working like an old dog, and I hadn’t even made it to forty yet. My self-discovery proved that I was chasing dreams instead of chasing life, and for me, that was a complete life game-changer because chasing life is what makes our dreams come true.
Chasing life to me means, simply put, work smartly hard and when it comes time to play, put some of that hard work you set aside in your 42-week business model and LIVE!
No shortcuts or Magic
Many people today are looking for something magical, but I am here to tell you that the only magic you are going to find is the magic you create by your preparedness, productivity, and keeping your emotions at bay. I tell you this because we all know about the tortoise and the hare? Consistency in your daily habits is the surest way to achieve your life and business goals.
Boring, simply put, is the consistency for your daily habits of repeating the same process with your cash flow, creating various baskets funding your business and lifestyles.
Exciting for me was building my property into a work and play station. Ever since I first got paid to detail cars back in the ’70s at my parents’ backyard in Cleveland, Ohio, I had always thought that was really cool. Low and behold, I settled in Connecticut in 1983, and by 1984 I was now getting paid to detail cars six-hundred miles away on the east coast. Now, this wasn’t only cool to me; it was awesome!
Foundational: Knowledge, Positioning, Posturing
Foundation – Think of your life and business like purchasing a used car. First, we need to check the frame to make sure it can carry us safely.
Knowledge – The Frame.
Having sufficient knowledge on how to operate a small business and the mechanics of business is far more important than being the best-detailing technician in the country.
Positioning/Business Model – The Engine
Your business model will be your roadmap for your business that will change and flow with you, much like the Mississippi River. Also, having a personal lifestyle and goals roadmap is a great companion and needed for continuity. The business model is just like the engine in a car that provides the power for your business to produce robust results depending on the accessories you choose to add.
Posturing/Patience – Let’s be boring and profit.
Human emotions and second-guessing ourselves can be two of the most difficult aspects of owning and maintaining a well-run business and maintaining a happy and rewarding life.
Now that you have put your business plan in motion be steadfast in accordance with your business plan to see it through.
However, it is important to monitor and measure your business plan results and make necessary adjustments. I recommend that business plan adjustments are best made slowly to provide your business with a ripple in the water effect versus an overwhelming tidal wave. Remember your business plan will flow with you like the winding Mississippi till your reach your destination at the Gulf Shores in your later years.
Success is not about money or possessions but about living your life and operating your business in line with your core values.
Our foundational belief of family, lifestyle, and freedom is what drives us.
NBTT will help provide you with a roadmap to not only be successful in business but in life as well.
