Episode 36 - Overcoming the “I Can’t Compete” Mindset with Rick Selover

October 7, 2021

News Podcast

The changes that the automotive repair industry is going through have made it very challenging for a lot of shop owners and technicians. The idea of going up against the big MSO’s (multi-shop operators) is making these business owners consider giving up and selling their shop.

However, these are limiting beliefs and small repair shop owners still have some edge over their formidable competitors. This is why instead of having the “I can’t” mentality, it’s important to be in your right mind and transform your thinking to ensure your business’s success.

In this episode, join Matt DiFrancesco and Rick Selover, Collision Industry advisor, motivational coach, and host of the Mind Wrench Podcast as they discuss the value of investing in personal development and how it can reshape the way you do your business.

Rick talks about:

The book that sparked his obsession with learning more
The biggest challenges auto repair business owners are facing
What are the opportunities independent shop owners have today
Why customer experience is everything
College vs. trade school
His advice for future generations who want to take over the family business
…and more

About Our Guest:

Rick Selover has been in the automotive repair and collision business for 45 years. He started working as a teenager in a body shop, sweeping floors and helping painters until he became a painter himself. He has painted everything from electrical boxes to fighter jets. Eventually, he jumped into the sales side of the business and became a sales manager.

As much as he loved what he was doing, Rick knew that he can’t be a painter forever. So for the past few years, he got into self-development. He then started his own podcast: The Mind-Wrench so he can share his experience and insight on mindset and self-improvement with anyone looking to reach their next-level life.
