Cosmin, great thread and keep up the good work and continue to thrive in this business. Don't worry English isn't my 1st language either You should check out the social group "Lets Help Each Other Succeed!" created by Tony from B&B Tennessee.

Cosmin, you saw what you wanted to be. You wanted to be a class act. And guess what? You sir, are a class act. You are writing your own ticket to success. Keep being an inspiration to others and don't forget to take the time to reflect upon your accomplishments as an inspiration to yourself!

[nickgodfrey]

Cosmin, you're a real inspiration! Your website and your original post just changed my entire approach. The class of vehicle in my area is nowhere near what it is in yours, but that doesn't mean I can't be just as effective and successful. Thanks again for sharing what you have accomplished with the rest of us!

Definitely a huge inspiration. What is truly amazing within this thread is seeing the progression you've made in just under 2 years. It's even more amazing you were unemployed and took it to a full-time income so quickly.

For the first time in over 25 years, I am unemployed right now and currently about 50% -60% set up with my mobile van. I certainly hope to be able to capitalize on the great info shared in this thread & your proven methods of success to achieve similar results.

BTW, I showed my 17 year old son your truck set up & website (*Ferrari's, Porsche's, Bentley, etc...)and he is 'stoked' about working on exotics. So, for the record you're willingness to share is not only an inspiration, it shows what determination & persistence can accomplish and helps others 'believe' it can be done!

Congrats!

It looks like your supervisor gives his snout of approval on the new guy. Letting new guy practice on your friends' rides is perfect...and very creative, in my opinion.

a quick tip related with business : the power of a "quick" wash, with example.

paint correction generates more money now , maintenance/regular wash generates more money tomorrow....
so... don`t underestimate the power of a quick wash , of course when is sold with profit.
here is an example:
john want`s paint correction , you charge him once $400+ for correction. and yous ee him again in 6 mo or a year.
Matt want`s his car washed weekly , you charge him $50-$70 in max 2 hours

by the end of the year , your correction from john bring you less $1000 , and the regular "quick"wash from matt a min of $2600

of course if you can get the car corrected and keep it in maintenance wash , that`s even better...

Cosmin can you post some pictures of the inside of the van. I would love to see how you fit everything in there.
