Steve in Des Moines, Iowa. Hi there, Steve.

2:44

Hi Kim.

2:46

Welcome aboard. What's on your mind today?

2:47

Well, I just curious about, I saw you put some stuff up here a while back about side hustles and I've been reading a lot on the newsletter itself and I just met, I submitted the form and I just curious about, you know, some ideas for side hustle.

2:50

Well, what have you been doing?

3:03

Well, I've spent time in a lot of different industries. Project manager for a while, business information systems degree. I managed GM dealership for about 8 or 10 years. Project manager for about 5 years. 15 years on a help desk for IT and retirement plans. I spent 12 years, 12, 15 years in inventory control management kind of thing. So I've done a little bit of everything.

3:04

So.

3:28

But you have a unique skill and that is that you ran dealerships and you also worked an IT help desk that you could combine into a side hustle and maybe do some freelance consulting for other small deal for small businesses and dealerships, part departments. Because I'm sure you know a lot about inventory, right?

3:28

Yes ma'. Am. Did anyway at one time.

3:50

Oh, you still know it, you still do. And, and what you could do is offer and start selling yourself to do remote audits. So you could review the systems, find the ways, give them a plan, you find clients on LinkedIn or you could reach out directly to independent dealers. And so, so what you do is you put together your idea of what could I do for a smaller dealership and how, and even a medium size or large size, you know, whatever it may be, you know, what, what in your skill set could you do that could help them save money or make money? Because those are the keys. You know, branding is out. People just want to know what can you do for them right now to make them more money or to save them money. There's also remote dealership support, meaning that they you can do deal desk support and you don't have to necessarily be there. You see these jobs that like dealer on or Even Indeed and LinkedIn where you could get remote jobs that way.

3:52

So never thought about that.

4:50

So instead of, you know, thinking like I need to start something new, that's where I'm always trying to point people now for side hustles instead of thinking.

4:51

Like what can I do that's you.

4:58

Know, that's hot and great. Well, think about all the experience that you have, right? I mean, think about what you know now versus what you knew 30 years ago, 20 years ago. And, and of course the car business has changed, the types of cars have changed, but the basic methodology is pretty much the same. I mean, a customer comes in and they buy a car, it breaks, they need to bring it in to get it fixed, right?

4:59

Yes, ma'.

5:28

Am. So, so think about those type of things and then what you can do is, you know, come up with a great moniker for yourself, you know, Dealer Car Steve or whatever it may be. And then start posting things on TikTok and on Instagram and Facebook shorts and like say, you know, here's one thing that the dealer does not want you to know. Everybody's going to click on that, everybody's going to want to know that. Give us one thing, that give us one thing that we should know about a dealer.

5:28

Well, I guess that's one of the industries that's got one of the worst reputations there is out there. There are good dealers out there. My family actually had a dealership in a small town. And so, I mean there are good dealerships out there that will take care of you whether they're honest and you know, if you, if you run into somebody that's not so good, you know, keep your chin up, you know there's somebody else. I mean there's people out there, you know, they're out there to take care of you, not just take your money and run away.

5:58

So, and that's good. And then what we're going to do to add to that, Steve, now here's the value add. Here are three things that you look for in a good dealership. You know that it's off the top of your head, you know that. Okay, so, so you start putting together content ideas, even an ebook, but really the bite sized content. Don't you see that?

6:25

That was his first TikTok is what.

6:46

I was going to say.

6:48

Yeah, right there is. They're not all bad. And then you have a little of a bad dealer yelling at someone in a good dealer shaking a hand. I mean, there's your first video right there. You just created your first piece of content just by answering one question from.

6:49
