My last day on corporate america...

As long as you remember the dowel pins you should be fine.

[Shorty]

You've definitely got the technical skill. Keep the business side running smooth and you will go far.

Here's a couple of my favorite books from my entrepreneurship courses:

I would charge top dollar for your top dollar work, don't undercut yourself.

Pm sent.

We all think you will do great, and you already have many customers, or customers-to-be.

Free dyno tuning for the '13?

LOL, You'll have to settle for your picture on the wall or something.

Congrats. If you can keep the same caliber of work you've done in the past and provide good customer service you'll do just fine.

In most industries customer service sucks.

Oh and hoping to be a customers in 2013.

Sounds like a plan!

I know you have the quality and attention to detail . I will bring you everyone I can and let me know if you need help with getting anything up and going . I am not sure what I can help with but I always have man power and a flat bed truck if its needed .

Thanks Jim! I may be in touch soon.

Congrats again man!

Edit, did you ever come up with a shop name?

Nothing carved in stone yet, but have some ideas. Should have somehing solid in the next two weeks.

Best of luck. No matter how big you get, stay modest, don't take in more work than you can reasonably turn out, focus on honesty, integrity, and quality. Basically, everything you've always hated about "performance shops", don't do that.

lol!

You'll be fine Brooks, you'll learn along the way, face and overcome challenges you never knew existed and become a business man.

Unless you cock everything up

Thanks. I've already started to develop a plan for after the first year of business. I plan on branching out into some other stuff....

Live your dream man! I know one day I will, and it's going to be a blast...that's if the world doesn't end before then. Lol

[slowbrick2]

I will get you some T shirts made. Good luck, call me if you need some help.

I would charge top dollar for your top dollar work, don't undercut yourself.

THIS!!!!


Good luck, Brooks. I may be making a similar move in the near future.

The quality is there. I have kicked the tires for years on a turbo project and if I ever do pull the trigger I know where it's going.

couldn't agree more

[Randy]

your shop is going to be in keller right? I have an 00 v6 mustang that is making a weird clattering noise when the car is more at a coast then when you give it gas it seems to stop making that noise. I'm thinking I might have to give you some business, also if you could PM me your address that would be great too.

Thanks, Randy
