    It's not 90%, but most of the time when my guys come to me with problems, they already have most of a solution in mind, and my job is to ask them what they think would fix it, and also what do they need from me to help them get it fixed. A lot of times it's a confidence thing. Some people never get it, but that's ok. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. Also, sometimes I like to suggest something completely stupid. For some reason it jogs their brain into a solution if they can start by discounting the ridiculous.

    Not that you need encouragement from anonymous internet sources, but I for one have enjoyed your weekly diary entries. I admire the ambition, and I admire how you're handling the trials and traumas in your life. It's not pretty, but you grow stronger from it. Never forget that. I won't criticize, because you're figuring all of this out, and the last thing you need is critics in the arena while you're facing dragons, so I'll just say that someone out here sees you and appreciates your struggles and rewards.

    Awesome Video I recently visited your RUclips channel and enjoyed your content. However, I noticed that your videos are not ranking well due to some issues. I believe that if these issues are addressed, your videos will rank better. Here are the issues I found with your channel: 1. Video SEO has not been properly done. 2. Videos are not being released on time. 3. The video titles are not optimized. 4. Keyword research has not been done effectively. Solving these issues will help your RUclips channel perform better.

    I've watched every Ashville video and you were recommended. I've watched the majority of your video. Keep at it. Keep putting in the work. get after it, if there's anything I can advise it would be spending some money on social media advertising locally to see if it increases clients within x amount of miles of the garage, possibly offer a 5/10% off with a code. I'm not a garage owner but sometimes an idea is an idea.
