Course Title: Winning Your Future - A Frank Discussion with Automotive Repair Shop Owners

Course Description: 

Our industry is changing permanently, and the pace of change is accelerating. Our historic business-as-usual approaches are sure to fail in the years to come. Owner-operators need to understand what's happening, what's coming next, and how to prepare now to thrive in your future. Owners who resist these trends, or those who just hold still, will fall quickly behind.

• Understand the expanding range of exit & succession options available to owners today
• Learn how to increase the value of your company for future sale, from an investor's perspective
• Discover how PE firms and REITs operate, make money, and make project decisions
• Discuss how to prepare your company, leaders and team to become the top-1% & lead our industry in the future
• Consider your own professional & company legacy, exit parameters and transition considerations
