About the Event
Join Jimmy Lea with special guest Nathan Geransky for a real conversation about what it looks like to go from survival mode to building a growing, profitable shop. Nathan’s Garage Ltd. has proudly served Sherwood Park and Ardrossan, AB for over 30 years with honest, reliable automotive care. Today, the team includes 2 experienced journeyman technicians and 3 dedicated apprentices, all committed to keeping customers’ vehicles running at their best. Nathan shares his story of starting out just trying to fill a gap until he found another job, to now making intentional moves like expanding locations, growing a team, and building something his sons can be part of long term. This webinar dives into the hard lessons that changed everything for Nathan, including the year the shop was busy nonstop but there was still no money in the bank. Through coaching, switching to AutoLeap, and finally looking at the real numbers, Nathan began seeing the business differently. They’ll talk about: - Why busy does not always mean profitable - Going from doing everything yourself to leading a team - Building systems that create consistency and accountability - Hiring family first and what changed when outside employees joined - Catching profit leaks like unbilled parts and inefficiencies - The challenges of expanding and outgrowing your current shop - Why asking for help was one of the biggest breakthroughs Nathan also shares how bringing in coaching from Michael and Chad helped shift his mindset from “I think we’re doing okay” to truly understanding the numbers and building a stronger foundation for growth. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, busy without profit, or unsure what the next level looks like, this webinar will give you an honest look at the lessons, challenges, and breakthroughs that come with growing a shop the right way.
