It’s very simple. There was a swimming coach who trained many world champions before, but little did he know that the coach was a landlubber and didn’t know how to swim. The same is true for mechanics. No matter how good a car is, it doesn’t matter how good it is at business management, customer service, or social connections. Just like a company can produce good products, business management, sales and service funds are also a technical knowledge. Being able to repair a car is just a skill. Just a very crucial part.

Why most of the repairmen fail when running auto repair shops? This is very simple, because in the process of the repair shop's business growth, the weight ratio of the repairman's role is constantly decreasing. As for the boss who is a repairman, once he fails to understand this truth, his heart is as high as the sky and his life is as thin as paper.

Repairmen started out as business owners and mostly repaired cars themselves. If there were only one or two employees in the factory, it would be the size of a small store and would have little impact on the surrounding repair industry. During this period, technology came first and mechanics came first. Technique plays the biggest role.

When it grows to about 10 people, the danger comes. The more prosperous it is, the more dangerous it is. There are two main aspects. The first is that the repair shop reaches a certain scale, which brings competitive threats to surrounding peers, and comes from all walks of life in society. This kind of dark side and red eyes will appear in large numbers. Secondly, after the scale is expanded, the role of repairmen begins to give way to management. Management cannot keep up, the balance of internal interests is not good, there will be collusion between procurement and suppliers, quarrels between employees, finance and society. Various people collude and cause trouble, and most bosses who are mechanics are unable to pass this hurdle.

Then, when it develops into a large repair shop with more than 20 people, not only the management, but also the factory director and director will play a more important role than the repairman. If the boss who is a repairman has a poor psychological positioning and unreasonable profit distribution , will definitely cause factional confrontation among various departments. Therefore, if a repairman only relies on his skills and does not have enough life experience and insights, as well as social connections and skills, failure is inevitable.

Opening a repair shop is not like an ordinary small store. If you want to run a repair shop well, in addition to having high management capabilities, you also need Having more connections in society, such as insurance companies, can gather more popularity, so that the operation of the repair shop can be supported. Mechanics, on the other hand, work hard on repairing cars all day, have limited free time, and have few social activities outside the home. This is the main reason why repairmen fail to open a factory.

It’s not just repairmen, it’s the same for various sales industries. Most of the best salespeople can’t be bosses, and those who are bosses may not be able to sell. , those who are both bosses and salespeople will basically never make it big. In fact, it is a matter of ability. A successful boss will only think of ways to manage his employees, but a boss who comes from an industry background always feels that his employees are not as good as him because he has done it before. Therefore, the success rate of such a boss is extremely low.

@People call me the abbot

Opening a factory is a commercial act, while repairmen repairing cars is a technical act. When the two fields suddenly cross paths, of course the majority are incompetent!

A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a repairman who doesn’t want to open his own shop is not a good repairman! Being a mechanic is easy. You only need to repair the car during working hours. After work, you can have a drink with your friends and don't worry about whether the business is good or bad. In the worst case, you can continue working for another employer.

Being your own boss involves money every day, costs need to be accounted for, and profits need to be calculated. Once friends from the past come to cheer you up and become a habit, money will suffer.

Unless you are big and smart, you can defeat gangsters and gangsters, make good friends with powerful people, and abandon all useless friends on your way forward. Only in this way, even if you don't work in an auto repair shop, you are still a good candidate to successfully start any business!

To answer this question, you have to be a real repairman to answer it. If a repairman does not answer this question, he is just a blind man trying to figure out the elephant, which is too one-sided.

Car repair is just a skill, just like if you can make shoes, can you open a shoe factory? The most I can do is to set up shop and customize shoes for others. You also need to be able to choose a location when opening the door. If the location is not good, you won’t be able to drive it. So being able to repair cars only means knowing the technology, and opening a repair shop requires a lot of things. If you don’t know how to repair cars and want to open a repair shop, you can hire a repairman. As long as you have an investment acumen, a good location, and a strategy, you can start it. The repairman's thoughts are mostly on repairing the car. If he chooses the wrong way to run the business and the location of the repair shop, he will not be able to open the repair shop.

Just like farmers who farm the land directly manage the entire country, there is a huge gap in vision, understanding, working methods, employment and other execution operations! It is definitely not enough to only know how to repair cars but not understand the specific operation of economic laws. The investment in a repair shop is high and risky, and if you work hard to save some money to start a business, you will lose everything accidentally. You may not be able to figure out the problem even after it has been closed for several years!

It’s not as everyone thinks. You cannot be a good boss if you are a repairman! If you go to the repair shop now and ask, most of the bosses are former repairmen. Repairmen have worked in repair shops of all sizes. They have seen many success and failure cases. Naturally, many problems can be avoided, and the success rate of opening a small store is high. One final word: Not all repairmen are brainless!
