Help me figure this out please

[Vince]

My IQ has been tested several times over the years and averages 145-147 consistently. What I have learned is that I am in a range where I'm smart enough to be dangerous to myself. I "see" things that a lot of people do not see; safety hazards, potential problems, and many other things. And, I seem to posses a keen understanding of human nature; like how people will react to various issues, situations, or concerns.

That said, I'm basically an extremely intelligent idiot. One thing that keeps me out of trouble, most of the time, is my keen understanding of logic and how to apply it. As such, I have a wide range of skills; primarily in diagnostics and in repair and primarily in the area of computers and electronics.

I'm 46-years-old now and like most people my age, my patience has grown shorter over the years and continues to do so as I age. My life has also changed dramatically over just the past several years involving a divorce from a 20 year marriage and a daughter who has "tested" her limits to a degree far too uncomfortable for me, but slowly coming to within acceptable parameters. These two "events" have contributed significantly to a deletion of specific goals, drive, and enthusiasm.

I haven't worked for anyone in a couple of years now and the last job I had was shall we say, "very loose," if you will. I left for work when I got up, worked at my own pace throughout the day, and then left when I finished up whatever I happened to be involved in. I'm not on any kind of assistance, as my girlfriend earns a substantial salary. Still, I feel I need to be productive in some way.

I've gone out, looked around at different places, asked a few questions, and so on with respect to gaining some focus; with respect to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up and nothing is happening. It's the same old thing time after time. I'm not seeing anything that says, "That�s what I want to do; that's me!" Until my divorce, this was never the case. I had a solid direction in life with goals, plans, and a clear vision of how it would all turn out.

So, here I sit; living life day to day. Getting up with no place to go and not really wanting to go anyplace, either. The one thing everyone says who knows me is that I should find a work-at-home job.

Presently, I have a Windows server in my home with five computers networked to it wirelessly. I spent over 20 years in the automotive industry as a Late Model Driveability Technician specializing in Computer Control, Electronics, and Fuel Management. After getting out of the auto industry, I worked briefly for an insurance/warranty company as a computer (PC) road technician; the pay was terrible and the traveling was excessive. For three years I ran my own Commercial Cleaning Company servicing what else, auto dealerships. Shutting that down was related to my growing lack of patience; what a pain in the butt both clients and employees can be and both at the same time!

I agree I should be working from home. The problem is each time I think about it my mind goes completely blank. I would love to write automotive technical articles for like a newspaper or magazine, but where would I begin? I also wouldn't mind buying say, out-dated electronic equipment and reselling it on the web. Again, where do I start? I could also offer technical computer support or automotive support; like maybe a "Dear Abby" for car owners? Dear Vince, my car stalls when I first start it, sometimes coming to a stop, and sometimes coming off the Interstate ramp. Signed, stalling in Vermont. Dear Stalling, clean your throttle body assembly.

This is the first website I have come across that offers advice; all the others tell you is what not to do or what to watch for. I do not have a degree, like that should matter with the years of experience I have. And, I'm stubborn to the point I won't try to get one in night school and $10,000.00 later be holding a piece of paper in my hand.

So, here I sit; mind is blank. Questions, but no answers...

Vince...

Hello Vince, and welcome to the forum!

Your post was quite intriguing. I felt the need to respond not because I have the answers, but because many of the things you revealed resonated with me.

Two things you said were particularly insightful:

[Vince]

Hermas, I appreciate your feedback.

Indeed, which comes first; �The purpose or the passion? The chicken or the egg?" I'm not sure about purpose or passion, but logic dictates the chicken had to come before the egg, as the chicken is an actual chicken and the egg is a potential chicken. Actuality always takes precedence over potentiality Purpose or Passion; that's a difficult one to answer.

My "passion" is and has always been automotive electronics. The automotive industry, primarily beginning in 1984, began to incorporate serious electronics and computer networking into motor vehicles. New cars were coming out with sophisticated sensors, high-speed controllers, and low voltage network lines. I found it all quite stimulating and aggressively pursued as much information and knowledge as I could. I carried a technical manual with me always; trips, vacations, at work, at home, even to the bathroom with me. I eventually became one of the best in the field of Driveability to the point I once assisted factory engineers with a "cutting out" problem occurring on certain model cars while the intermittent wipers were in use. I had resolved the issue, for my customers at least, with parts I had purchased from the local Radio Shack. In a three-way conversation with the engineers, my fix resulted in a revised computer for these vehicles. There were other moments such as this with factory personnel; I call those the glory days.

The automotive industry, however, is not a kind industry. While I was one of the best with respect to electronics, computer control, and fuel systems (and still am by the way), I was also required to service other aspects of auto repair; such as brakes, air conditioning systems, oil leaks, etc. These things I hated and so, the struggle began. I found that in order to move away from the things I hated, I had to move away from the things I loved. I suppose the same could be said for my marriage.

With that, I eventually became a Forman. From there I advanced to service manager, and then parts manager for a dealer with three car lines. I found that not only had the distance between me and my passion expanded, I was also progressively working longer hours with greater responsibility and less pay! At this point I suddenly realized it was over and I dropped from the auto industry completely out of sight. But alas, the void remains; the passion remains.

I would love to work in an auto dealership today, but I have issues my friend. For one, I'm not a morning guy. It's a flaw, I suppose, but I simply do not or perhaps more appropriately, cannot get up at 6:00am to be to work at 7:30am, 6-days-a-week, which is the direction the industry has gone. It used to be 8-5, Monday-Friday - not anymore. Now its 7:30 to 6:00, Monday-Saturday. Most folks have no concept of what a technician is exposed to in a dealership (especially the owners of these dealers) with respect to the extreme temperatures, the noise, and other environmental factors all leading to high levels of stress and fatigue. And, I am apparently not the only one who has or is losing patience over time, as Americans have grown to become a society of "want it now." Everyone has to have their vehicle back right away for a wide-ranging variety of reasons and at the same time, no one really wants to pay to have their vehicle fixed or serviced. I had a woman come right out and tell me one day that she shouldn't have to pay to have her car looked at and diagnosed since until then, she couldn't even tell me if she wanted to fix it or not - go figure.

So, I have this tremendous skill that I am perfectly willing to share and to pass on to others, particularly the young guys (and girls now) coming up in the business, but there just is no way that I can see to do it. Not long ago I was approached by the local community college to teach their automotive courses. I have to admit I was quite excited about this, but then the reality of having to be there at 7:00am set in and I had to pass. This morning thing, it's not a mental thing (I don't think); I believe its a physical thing, like maybe an internal clock defect or something. I'm good for a while but slowly, gradually, I begin to have problems. Reality is what it is.

I have a skill that by myself would seriously enhance the customer service levels of any dealership, but that if passed on to even one more employee would raise the dealers status to one of the best in the community for service excellence and yet, I seem to be the only one that sees this. If I were to apply logic to this simple truth, I would have to conclude that what I know isn't as relevant as I think it is. Therefore, I must be wrong about the significance of what I know and that leaves me, or perhaps more appropriately my future, no more than a blur. It clouds where I've been, what I've accomplished over the years, and where I'm going. The significance of this is that it establishes passion, but leaves purpose a void or at least an open question.

Your response posed the question of what comes first with respect to purpose or passion. While perhaps still unanswered, discussing this with you has helped me conclude that the passion is still there and that it is purpose that is lacking. Your response has also helped me to focus once again on the reality of my issue or limitation with respect to being on time in the early morning. This is most definitely an important factor for me, but one that I suppose could be related to purpose. Hey, without purpose, why get up? Right? Conversely, no passion, no desire to get up. My passion, while there, does seem to be somewhat narrow.

Perhaps I should focus on a high school? Perhaps I can find a school that not only has an automotive class, but one that doesn't begin those classes until 8:00am or later? Then again there is no degree. The college was fine with this and was willing to use my years of experience instead. I did attend a technical institute for three years in New York, but that never seems relevant to anyone.

I don't necessarily want to be tied to a computer in my own home all day, but I'm not sure what other choices I have. I will follow your advice with respect to stepping outside of myself and applying some diagnostics to the situation; viewing myself as a complete stranger. Discussing this with you has proved helpful. I really have no one objective to discuss this with.

Thanks for your interest; I appreciate it.

Vince

[A8ch]

Hey Vince,

Thanks for straightening me out on the correct sequence regarding actuality and potentiality.

You alluded to a skill you possess which you believe would improve the customer service levels of any dealership, and if shared with employees, would catapult the dealer's status in the community for service excellence. That seems to me to be a good and profitable thing.

But then you throw a wrench into the works and relegate its relevance to the scrap heap just because you seem to be "the only one who sees this" simple truth.

How many times have we seen a product or service introduced to the marketplace that is brilliant and effective because of its simplicity? And the unanimous reaction observers have is to smack themselves upside the head and wonder: "Why didn't I think of that!"

Sometimes the simplicity of an idea leads us to believe that others surely must have considered it before us, and when we can find no evidence of it in action, we conclude that the idea is useless and we discard it.

All it takes is one person to observe the same set of facts, hold steadfastly to their instincts and ACT in total opposition to the current popular logic - and the rest becomes history. They get positive confirmation by relying on results which come from doing and not allowing their instincts to be (mis)guided by speculation.

Since one of your acknowldeged attributes is this ability to see things that other people miss, this places you in a special category and separates you from the pack. Learn to trust this insight. Do not second-guess it and certainly don't be shy about exploiting it.

Any conscientious dealer would agree that superior customer service contributes to strong customer loyalty, increased brand recognition and directly affects the bottom line. With your vast experience and ability to articulate your point, you're the best qualified person to convince them of the benefits they could enjoy from implementing your system.

You could start by writing, emailing, telephoning or visiting dealerships and offering to show them the benefits your system would provide. It could be to improve efficiency, save time, expedite a process, increase productivity, or whatever it is your system does best. The lure of a competitive edge and improved botton line is always an attractive incentive.

There may even be a variety of ways you could alternatively package or adapt your idea for use by schools and other entities as well, without having to dramatically alter your preferred daily patterns. That would be icing on the cake.

Something more to think about!

Hermas

[sdefiore]

Vince,

Hermas makes a lot of the same points I would make. You make a lot of statements and have a lot of great ideas, now you just need to implement them.

You have all this knowledge. Why not put it to good use. Not to be a pain, but you sound like a Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda. I realize, as does Hermas that your divorce has contributed a great deal to what you are feeling.

If it were me, I would set up an automotive website, write articles, and a book on your idea. You could also offer consultation services (which let you work the hours you want). Teaching is also an excellent idea. You could offer seminars to those in the industry and do back room sales of your books. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

As Hermas said you just need to focus, do up a business plan and GET STARTED!

Here are two articles to make you angry enough at me to give you the impetus to get going!

"Pretend Interest" and Apathy... What To Do About Them!

According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary "apathy is defined as the following: lack of emotion; lack of interest; indifference".

Wow, that's pretty depressing. However, look around you. Don't many of you work with people with this attitude. I don't, because I run my own business. However, I can remember when I worked for others and how many of the people I worked with fit this description. At that time, I couldn't understand how they could be that way. While I left corporate America, for my own separate set of reasons, apathy was certainly not one of them.

Unfortunately in the business that Chuck and I run we also see too much apathy. Of course, we get people who show what I like to call "pretend interest". They figure if they pretend an interest in something else, maybe no one will notice their apathetic behavior.

The individuals who pretend an interest in creative real estate will call us, and want us to guarantee that they will succeed (without any effort I might add). NOTE: NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS BUT YOU. Or they will want to know how quick they can make a million dollars (again, without doing any work). Or, how do I know it will work for me, in my area. As far as their area, creative real estate works in most areas. However, will it work for them, that I can't answer. They have to decide if they are going to work at it or not, they have to put the effort out. I put effort out every day and get rewarded for it. I realize, however, "if there is no effort, there is no reward". For these individuals, because they are so apathetic about everything, of course it won't work. They don't want to work. They are too indifferent.

If you find yourself with the above characteristics, and want to make a change do the following. Find something you have an interest in, that you are not indifferent to, and watch your emotions soar. I am not telling you to quit your job, unless you really want to or need to. Look at your job in a different light or look for something you would like to do, and research it. Find out how you can start it in your spare time, or part time, and build it up so you can get out of where you are. Once you do that you'll have a new purpose for yourself. Put all of yourself into it, heart and soul.

Don't let apathy make you say, "I'm not good at anything", "I don't know what I want to do", etc. These kind of statements are just perpetuating your apathetic behavior.

If it is not your job that is making you apathetic, take a good hard look at yourself, and be honest so you can find out what it is and do something about it. Sometimes it is as easy as finding a new hobby, or doing something special for yourself - dinner, a movie, walking, whatever, will make an enormous difference. If that doesn't help, go talk to someone on a professional level, but do something to remove the apathetic behavior, and I don't mean by using "pretend interest".

As Nike is so fond of saying, "Just Do It!"

Life Lessons, A Three Step Process

I have come to the conclusion that no matter what you want out of life there is a three step process.

The first step is to make a decision. You need to decide if you want to lose weight, stop smoking, save money, find a compatible mate, spend more time with your children, start a business, volunteer� you get the idea. Whatever it is you want to do, the first step is to decide and I mean really decide that you want to do it. Just talking it to death is not making a decision, making the effort and moving forward after making the decision is. So first, write down the decision you have made.

The next step is the big one, the big �C� and that is to make a commitment to your decision. The commitment is the stumbling point for so many. They talk and talk about the decisions, I�m going to lose weight, I am going to start my own business, I am going to stop smoking, etc.

A commitment means taking the steps to fulfill the decision you made. Making a plan to move forward. If your decision is to spend more time with your children, decide what days and time you will spend with them and make up a list of the things you could do with them. Or if you decide to volunteer, make a list of your interests, and then match that to a organization that needs volunteers.

If you have decided to start a business then make a plan on how you want to proceed. If you have decided to save money, you need to make a concentrated effort and a commitment to do so.

The commitment is how you are going to implement the decision and you must stick to your commitment or you are back in the decision stage and that is a �no man�s land�.

Okay, you made a decision, and have committed yourself to that decision, now the last step is to Succeed. Don�t think you are done. As a former smoker I know that you have to still commit yourself every day so you can continue to succeed. Same goes for those of us trying to keep weight off, and probably the best known continual effort is that of the alcoholic.Think of AA and the ongoing process.

So, make your decision, commit to it, and you will succeed, provided you continue to commit to your decision.

Wishing you the best in whatever decision you make!

Paralysis By Analysis

Every day we get emails and telephone calls from people who want to get started in Real Estate. We hear, I am just checking out your program. Or, I�ve been researching for the past six months to try and find a program. While researching and checking out programs is an important step, so many of these individuals never follow through to the next step, which is getting started and moving forward.

Making a decision on starting a business or a program to help you start a business is the next step people. Otherwise all you have is �Paralysis by Analysis�. You can look and dither back and forth, with all the questions: �Will it work for me?; How long will it take? How many calls, letters, emails, (fill in the blank) will I have to send or sell before I start making money? The questions go on and on. Eventually you will come to one that can�t be answered and that will be your reason for not proceeding. Oh, I can�t do it if I can�t have (fill in the blank).

The one question I love is: �Can you guarantee I will succeed?� NO! I CAN�T, ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE THAT. In all honesty, if you ask that question, you probably never will. You will never move forward to make a decision, hence the �paralysis by analysis�. You will keep spinning your wheels in one fashion or another and never get anywhere. You will stay in the same place the rest of your life, and continue to moan and groan about it. In addition to blaming everyone but yourself for not moving forward.

So if you see yourself in the above, realize what you are doing, and either move forward and do something or stop wasting everyone�s time, including your own, and resign yourself to the life you have. Remember, it�s no one fault but your own that you have the problems you do, especially if you do nothing to change them.

Realization of Dreams

We all have dreams. Some of us dream about winning the lottery and never having to work again (also the most unrealistic dream). Others dream of going to college, retirement, travel. Still others dream of working from their home. Some even want to run their own business. Whatever your dreams are, the realization of them is extremely important. We need our dreams to keep us going.

For many of us our destiny is based on what dreams we have for ourselves. Think of your dreams as mini goals. There are certain things you want to do over the next month, over the next three months, six months, or the next year.

For those of you who believe your destiny is pre-determined and there is nothing you can do about it, I don't buy it. Yes, bad things happen. We all go through periods where it seems that nothing is going right for us. However, you can't sit there waiting for a miracle to happen. It doesn't work that way. In order to realize your dreams you have to make something happen. You and only you control your destiny and the realization of your dreams. You have to set mini goals for yourself, and if you have trouble realizing those goals, ask for help. We all have something we are good at. Some of us, however, need help developing our skills. So ask for help. Don't just decide you can't do it. Also don't make your goals unrealistic. Start with small goals and work from there.

Your dream might be to run your own business. However, before you can do that you have to become proficient in that area. In order to become proficient, you may have to take classes or work a job related to the business you want to run, to gain insight. Any other number of things might have to occur before you realize that dream.

While we all have our strong areas, and things that we are good at, they don't always mesh with what our dreams are. The skills you need to realize your dreams can be learned, but only if you ask for help. So, if the reason your dreams are not being realized is lack of skills, ask someone for help. You won't know if you are good or bad at something until you try. Yes, sometimes you might have to put aside certain dreams for others, however, that is part of the life process.

One of the best ways to move yourself toward the realization of your dreams is to visualize yourself doing what your dream is about. If it is retirement, visualize yourself during a typical day of your retirement. Visualize the home you live in, getting up, visualize your daily routine.

So, to realize your dreams, remember your destiny is based on what dreams you have for yourself, and you control that destiny.

Are You A Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda?

The impetus for this article came from one of the 40 to 50 e-mails we get each week that go like this:

"Dear Chuck & Sue,

Can you recommend a business that will help me earn $10,000 to $20,000 each month. I need to start earning this type of money as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,

I want To Be A Millionaire By Next Tuesday"

We kid you not. We get e-mails like this everyday. They are the types we call shoulda, coulda, and woulda.

If you are a Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda, then this article is really going to tick you off. I hope it makes you angry, very angry.

Angry enough to change your ways or at least stop you from wasting your time and everybody else's.

Those that get angry see themselves all too well in this piece. They don't like being challenged. They are the people who will never do anything. They will never change.

You know who you are. You're the person who goes to discussion boards and asks "Does Carleton Sheets work in _____". Go ahead, fill in the blank. Name a city or state. You can, of course, fill in any other name or business in place of Carleton.

You're usually answered by those of us who have been around the block as follows, "No, Sheets doesn't work, you do".

Not liking that answer, you move to another group and ask the same question. Getting a similar response. And so on, and so on, etc.

You're the type of person who is afraid to spend a $100 - $200 to better yourself, your financial situation, your family's situation.

You're afraid to take a risk. You need a iron clad guarantee that whatever you do will make you money. Preferably by next Tuesday.

You're the type of person who gives great lip service to the concept of it takes work. But you're unwilling to put forth any effort.

You're afraid you may fail. IT, whatever your particular IT is, will not work for you.

You'd rather continue to moan and groan about your job, your life, your finances, your ______. Go ahead, fill in the blank again. I can't begin to come up with all the things you find to complain about.

Are you getting a good look at yourself in the mirror. I hope so. I hope by now your spitting nails. If you're not, then you are probably hopeless.

If you're not spitting nails, then you should skip the rest of this article.

Why?

Because I am going to let you in on some secrets that can change you from a shoulda, coulda, woulda to an I should, I could, I would and I did person.

First, let's dispel a myth. There is no legitimate get rich quick method, short of the lottery that I know about.

Getting rich takes hard work, perseverance and guts. It takes education. It takes a willingness to take calculated risks. It takes a willingness to fail before you succeed.

In short, it takes everything up to this point that you're not. But you can change.

Following is how to get started.

1. Embrace the concept that you and only you can make it happen. Why? Because the world really doesn't care about you. The world will go on, regardless of whatever you do or don't do.

So decide to make it happen. This is the most important step.

2. Educate yourself in whatever area your interested in. And no, this is not a plug for our educational material. We know ours is excellent, but that choice is up to you.

But for Pete's sake, buy somebody's. Start somewhere. If you truly can't afford to purchase, look on the web. There is some good free info out there. Go to the library. Read magazines or journals in your area. Do something to educate yourself.

3. Learn to weigh the pros and cons of different types of businesses or investment areas. Be willing to take a calculated risk. If an area looks promising, try it.

Just don't quit your day job.

There are many businesses you can start on a part-time or spare time basis. This is one of the reasons we recommend Lease Purchasing so highly to those we consult with. It is ideal for starting slowly.

4. Understand that it is not going to happen overnight. Make a firm decision to work whatever you try, long enough and hard enough, to give it a fair chance to succeed.

All true, solid, successful, long term businesses take effort and time to develop properly.

Learn to measure your progress toward your end goal.

5. Don't be afraid to fail. Much can be learned from failure. And remember, you never really fail, unless you quit and give up.

Keep trying. You'll eventually succeed.

Those of you who have read our book or spoken with us, know that we are perfect examples of not giving up.

We had four successful businesses, lost them in the economic downturn in California in the early 90's. We went through some hard times, but never lost sight of what we wanted.

We have re-built a successful business and are doing better than we ever did.

Just keep trying.

There you have it. The five secrets to our success.

Is it easy, no. But nothing worthwhile is.

Can you do it. Of course. Now get going and change your life.

Work, The Other Four Letter Word


This word means different things to many people. In the arena of home based businesses, and internet business for too many people it is a four letter word. They don�t want to work they just want the title of business owner along with the profits.

It amazes me how many people think they can run a business with no effort. The concept of Work never enters into their equation. They want to be able to buy a product and through what - osmosis - become a success overnight. They get belligerent, cranky, and nasty because, what, they did a couple of calls or sent a couple of emails and can�t understand why no one buys or uses their product or service. So what do they do, they usually give up or move on to something else. Still missing the point of work.

They don�t realize that WORK means the following:

W � Will
O � Organized
R - Research
K � Knowledge

The will to run a business, the gumption to keep going no matter how many obstacles are put in your path. Moving forward. Not making excuses, nor blaming someone else. Having the will and determination to move forward. To do all this you need to organize your time. You need to plot a strategy, research your area, research your competition, research other businesses who are successful. After you have done all this you will have gained some of the knowledge to implement your ideas. Then you will need to continue to educate yourself to become more knowledgeable and to keep ahead of the others in your area.

So to WORK you need to impose your will, then get organized, do some research and gain some knowledge. Then and only then will you be able to WORK at a business. All of this takes time. It is not going to happen overnight. Remember anything worth having takes effort, and nothing comes easy.

Realize that there is no easy way to run a business. There is, however, a right and a wrong way to run a business. For those individuals who do it the right way, they have an easier time of it. Why does it seem so effortless for them. Because of the time and dedication they have given to their business. What you must realize is that all of this takes time and effort. There are no shortcuts to success!

For those of you looking for the easy way in, remember, there�s always the lottery.
