Be Prepared: Success Means Sacrifice

You need to ask yourself: Am I prepared to work the hardest I have ever worked?


I make that statement about sacrifice for a very pointed and direct reason. I don’t care if you are a part-time or full-time detailer, getting the business up and running, and more importantly, profitable is going to take a huge amount of work and, in some cases, some very long days, nights and weekends.


If you are going to build this business, you need to admit and commit to working like you’ve never worked before. Owning any business is difficult, but detailing is a luxury-based service business and your business competes with your prospective clients’ available disposable cash. It’s not a walk in the part to arrive at success in detailing. It takes good detailing skills and even better business skills.
