What is your Lowest Level Need?
Welcome to Fix this First. If you’re here, you don’t need more ideas. You’ve already got a list as long as your arm: pricing, marketing, staff, tools, processes, reviews, bookings, cash flow… the usual chaos of running a garage. The real problem isn’t finding things to fix. It’s fixing the right thing. That’s why everything in here starts with one principle: Time, money, attention, energy, headspace — you don’t have unlimited amounts of any of them. So if you spend this month “improving the website” when the real issue is conversion on the phone… or you obsess over workflow when sales is the oxygen… you’ll stay busy, but you won’t move forward. In this community we work top-down, but we fix bottom-up. We identify the lowest-level need in your business — the thing that, if it stays broken, makes everything else harder — and we deal with that first. That’s the whole point of: “Fix This First.” Not because it’s the only thing worth fixing… but because it’s the next thing. The lever. The bottleneck. The one that unlocks the rest. So here’s the promise: we’ll keep you out of “random improvement mode” and get you into a simple rhythm: 1. Find the lowest level need. 2. Fix it . 3. Repeat. 4. Because momentum in business doesn’t come from fixing everything. It comes from fixing the right thing.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Everytime I ask a garage owner to do more, or do better before they consider doing something additional, they nearly always respond with one of 4 excuses. I call them the 4 M's Money, Market, Method & Model. But the thing that is really holding them back is.....them. The 5th M. Mindset. But they never say it, because it's uncomfortable recognising your shortcomings. It's more comfortable blaming the external factors of money, market, methods and model. But the reason why most garages are not more successful are internal factors. Self limiting beliefs. This week I will be discusing this live straight after the live at 1830 hrs on Wednesday https://www.skool.com/live/5JpQBTbT9WM

Competitive Analysis
Envy, Ego, or Evidence? How do you compare your business with your competitors? The right mindset turns comparison from bitterness to betterment. Do you 'spy' on the competition? Or are you too good or too afraid to learn from your peers? In my experience, Garage owners either ignore the competition or compare themselves unfairly. A typical response is “I just focus on my own business.” Or looking at bigger workshops, better websites and newer kit makes them feel inferior. Neither helps. Because your customer is comparing you and your competitors, whether you do or not. Download the worksheet to help you study the competition without copying, criticising, or crushing your confidence. Learn from their mistakes. Borrow from their success. Improve your own business. Admire. Adapt. Avoid.

Behaviour design, sounds like something out of a 70's Bond Movie, doesn't it? But if you want your staff, your customers or even you to do something, it might be helpful to know which of the three key elements is lacking. Then design your systems and processes to encourage the desired behaviours. The example in the video I'd like you to consider is recording daily income. Once it is habitual, it becomes the action prompt for saving 5% in the VAT vault. Having money in a separate account is a great way to ease the cash flow burden of the VAT bill, but it is the start of something much bigger. Measuring, managing and mastering the financial aspects of your business. Because you are recording daily income, it becomes a focus point: job cards get completed, invoices are sent, and payments are made. It also forces the business to be more efficient, as it has to operate with less cash. This tiny action, recording daily income, is how I started to get to grips with my business. Give it a go, do it for a month, simply record on a spreadsheet your daily income.
