Chasing Twenties

This book is set up for you to understand and be successful in the industry of mobile tool sales. Together, we'll go over one of the most interesting subjects of my life, the tool business. This book is about whether or not you should invest your time and hard-earned money into this field of work. I've spent the majority of my life working on every mechanical thing I can get my hands on. With that and the ten years as a mobile tool dealer in a major flagship company, I give you my insight into the business. So is the tool business worth it or not? 

With a mind boggling 276 million registered cars in the USA and growing at a rate of 2.7% each year, the industry is increasing. Every type of vehicle needs service in one shape or another to stay on the road. This creates demand for repair facilities and employment for the modern-day mechanic, who needs to be armed with an array of equipment to take care of the modern-day car at hand. From hand tools to diagnostic scanners, they need to be supplied and supported. These are just automobile statistics and don't include commercial trucks, airplanes, marine crafts, motorcycles, and other types of small and large engine machines. 

 Unfortunately, it's not an easy yes or no question, but one with a very winding path with a lot of pitfalls and misconceptions of the business. In this age of the Internet, everyone has a voice and can ramble on to you about their viewpoint. This doesn't mean they've walked the walk. They'll surely come up in your Internet searches and video thumbnails with a ton of wannabes that never did anything of substance in this business. I'm here to give you my decade-long experience in the business and what it's all about. You'll get a perspective not shared with many people. You'll get to see if this is a viable path for you. I say that because this is a definite option for a life path, but it's an all-encompassing business that can give you the highest highs and lowest lows. We're going to go over how the business operates, how to find a business for sale, how to make an offer on the business, and then how to successfully run a tool truck. I've added many insider tips, which some dealers who are currently in the business need to learn themselves. This includes the discovery of a business for sale to the purchase of the business and then taking you through the metrics of the business, from what it costs to start and maintain it, to the almighty question of "how much will I make?"

Ready? Let's jump in.
