You will not learn anything from this book that you cannot learn from this forum.
If you saw a book in the store for $47; would you buy it?

Mr. Bill is correct, but you will have to do a lot of digging through thousands of posts. I have often thought that if there were an easy way to separate each post according to subject and then have them all available, indexed etc would be worth a lot. I think that would be well worth $47. Going by the subject in the thread isn't going to work very well because a lot of the time people get off the subject in their comments.

If you can get one good idea from a book or a seminar or something, it could be worth many times the $47. A new idea implemented that got you $50 a week is $2500 a year, not a bad return for a $47 investment. And if you don't find anything to use there its only the cost of one repair. Now I haven't read or even looked at this book, so I can't make a personal recommendation. I have read other books and materials that had a lot of ideas in them that could be used to grow a business.

I think a good question is "Has anyone read and used the ideas in this book to their advantage and would you recommend it"?

The only one who benefits from the book is the guy you send the money to when you buy it!

I actually bought the book, or I guess I should say downloaded it. I sure wish I had my money back. These people are right, you will learn alot more on the forum. Half the book is talking about how you should strive for 10 repairs a day or whatever, and reward yourself when you get that many. Or maybe it was like aim for 300.00 a day. How he did repairs in less than 5 minutes and so forth. He talks about fleets and how you should approach certain businesses. You should inspect thier vehicles and go inside and tell them you will repair their chips that you were nearby and noticed it. Just stuff like that. You'll get all that on this forum. Don't waste your money. I did. He just talks about how you should be confident when you approach fleets, no kidding.

The first link is the one I got. INside chip repair I haven't bought. So I don't know about it.

Windshield 911, Ive actually seen those same two sites and was lerry about their "get rich" books. Now i'm glad i didnt purchase them but have to say thanks for "taking one for the 'team'. "

There is no get rich quick scheme on the market that ever works, no matter what business you are doing.

The only way to do it, is to get out there and meet people, make contacts and be professional in the process.

I was out two days ago and went to a realty office and spoke to 13 of 16 realtors.

I went to a Bus Barn, with over 50 school buses and had a great talk with the Service Manager.

I went to Enterprise Rental Car and spoke with five agents and the branch manager.

Also talked to four ladies at a State Farm Insurance Agent's office.

One window and siding wholesale company.

One Heating and Cooling company, talking to the Service Manager there.

No I did not get someone to jump up out of their chair and say, wow, where have you been all my life, but the fact remains, I got to make my points, reference how close I am to their area, within minutes and that I offer same day service, with the equipment to perform the repair in a fashion to exceed their expectations.

I was dressed professionally, speak well and my vehicle was spotless too. I had my kit with me in the event I got to do a demo, but that did not happen.

I spoke with one guy who offers a very high dollar course, and picked his brain, and really did not get alot of info from him as far as what I was buying, so I did not buy.

Work it, and it will happen. Get the website, sign up for any free business listing site you can, this will get you listed on google quicker, the more links to your site, the quicker people will find you. I already have one job, from my lady networking for me too! But I had no invoices til today, so I will do that soon. My gal also took alot of cards to her work and handed them out to everyone who works at their plant. One lady she works with, is dating a lawyer who has 11 leased cars for his staff. Another of the attorneys owns four use car lots. Thinking outside of the box will create success. I am also running an ad on Craigslist, and any online free business services sight I can find.

Dont' make someone else rich, by buying their garbage! Shoot maybe I will write a book. Hmmmmm....Another income stream.
