I think one thing people new to the WSR business will find is they have to retool how they think and view the world around them. I mention this because I had to start looking at even the most simple things very differently. I am going to list a few things and if anybody thinks of some others chime in.
1. Driving around- just driving around you haved to: watch where you are going, look for chips on cars moving and parked, find good locations to drop in and talk to people and look for locations where to park and land business.
2. Getting used to finding work and not just getting paid- I think this is the greatest leap which will keep someone from jumping into WSR. How are you going to land a set amount of work consistently every single week. Building a multifaceted approach to landing work, networking and promoting the business tactfully is complicated but doable. Being proactive about meeting a quota during the week takes some getting used to because daylight burns away quick and other people love to waste your time.
3. Learning to know when people are in the mood to fix chips. There are times during the week when you can spend 3 hours finding nothing and times when you can do a days work in less that 3.
4. Learning from other businesses mistakes and successes. Have you seen a sign or advertisement that confuses the customer or is too small to read correcty? All the time. Have you seen someone running a great mobile business with a quality product? They should stand out like a neon sign and make you go whoa! That's a sharp cookie running that outfit. What can I learn from what they are doing.
If you can add to this go ahead.
