Small is New Big for Motorcycle Repair Shop
Train Yourself - and open your own auto repair business.
I read an article this morning about a motorcycle repair shop owner who successfully grew his business - but then gave up "big business" and downsized to create a business he loved.Motorcycle repair business owner James Hunt has some insightful thoughts on running one's ideal business, as he has truly learned from experience. If you are thinking about opening your own motorcycle repair shop, listen to his advice and see how it applies to you.
It's also interesting to see how this self-taught mechanic started his own repair shop with no business experience or training. Sure, it may not be the ideal way to launch a start-up, but it proves that the task can be done, along with determination and passion to succeed. See the article.
