Finding a niche
Nooo... I think you have the wrong impression of windshield repair. You see, we all started our own business for a couple of reasons. Ie: Independance (from time clocks, over demanding bosses, and underpaying jobs with no gratitude.), Freedom to set our own hours., Self satisfaction for doing a quality job, and MONEY...
Sure, we all wanted to work 40 hours a week or less. I know I did. And well, the first day I did 4 jobs in just under 3 hours. Made $100+.. Excited, does not describe my feelings. My mind was doing 92 in a 35mph zone, my eyes were checking every windshield in sight. All I could think about was, how much was possible to make in say 8 hours, no 10 hours, heck 6 days a week...
Yep, there went my dreams of 35 hours a week, bass fishing when I got the urge, or just kicking back.. I was addictted. The smell of a broken windshield made my pulse race, the sight of one, made me light headed..
What I'm trying to say is, you cannot even think about doing this part-time, seasonal, or when you need a few bucks.. Not, and be good at it.. The tent guys on the corner, they are here today gone tommorrow repair people. The only reason they are surviving there now, is because they have not met you yet. You will be so motivated, and dedicated that you will be running circles around them in less than a month. Yes, you will charge more. Why? Quality, professionalism, and mobility. You will service your customers as they need it. Not wait on them to come to you. I know this. I used to be just like you. I wish you well and lot of luck. Go make some money!!!
