If you want to make money in this business you must read Renny Doyle's book.

This is a great read. I myself have changed a few things on my business plan after reading this. A must for all, weekender or full timer. Puts a lot of things in perspective. Thanks to all who contributed to the book.

How to start a home-based car detailing business

Just bought the book on Kindle ($10) and read a bunch last night, it's very good. I've been in business for myself for 15 years, and still can take away some ideas and info on the business side. First time going into the detailing business, though, and really excited.

The book will be invaluable, and in trying to start out right, I just registered for Mike's class in May (coincidentally, the dates aligned perfectly for an already schedule trip to our house in Orlando, so how could I say no?)
 
I am on my 3rd read of the book. I really enjoy this book. Not from the perspectve of a prospective detailer or one currently in the business...because I am not...but from the perspective of coach, mentor, and trainer. Additionally, I represent a prominent brand in the professional detailing industry and passionately engaged on the education aspect of all things detailing. I'm someone who has a lot invested in the industry and cares greatly about detailers succeeding in this business. So when I read detailing books and training materials, I have a keen and critical eye for the content, flavor, and the spirit of what is being feed to detailers. Is this information accurate? Is this content relevant and benificial? Is it delivered in such a way that it is palatable to the target detailer? (Some stuff is written with a level of complexity that it is difficult for the average detailer to get their their arms around the concepts.)

Renny's book...is not a how to detail book, it's a how to succeed in the detailing business book. I like it. It's well done. While I read, I find myself nodding my head...yes, that was a very important point. Yes, that was well said. Yes, that was good for a detailer to know before repeating the mistakes others (ok, I've) made. Yes, that was good advice. Yes, this is currently relevent in the business. And when I close the back cover of the book, I say to myself...yes, that is a collection of good messages that could be extremely helpful to any detailer.

For me...the spirit of the book is this...a detailing business is hard work, no way around that. Renny doesn't sugar coat that fact one bit. But there are definately some things that you can be doing to work smarter, not harder. This book is a discussion of some of those things, based on the collective experience of Renny and other detailing veterans with decades in the business.

It's a must-read.

Best regards,
Jason
