“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
~Anthony Robbins~

I think both personally and professionally I have embodied that example in my life, loudly even. However, never with malice or ill will. If anything I have always had a deep level of understanding and interest in the other beings that are stumbling along here on this great big adventure called "life" with me. I truly believe you can learn something valuable from everyone, even if it is simply what not to do.

To change the perception of our industry through the use of social-media to connect-to and learn-about the people who entrust us to help and guide them with important automotive decisions. Build real and lasting relationships that can be beneficial and successful to both parties. To make this work we as a profession need to ACT NOW!
