Hello, my name is Alex, i have been on here a lot at some point, learned to detail professionally. Operated my biz for year from my home and mobile, had a lot of love until about half way of it then my mind concentrated on making money and squeezing profits as much as i can because i wanted to buy a dream car. I did not care to expend it because i was scared to loose money i saved. At some point i had a lot of money for being young (was 20). then i bought the car i wanted - it was a newer 03 BMW 745li. And then i lost interest in life or work and tried to fill my interest by trying pills (mainly Vicodin, then morphine and then started smoking), and then my life turned in opposite direction, then tried harder drugs to get off from withdrawals . That made even worse because i switched to it and did it for more then a month. Was in depression and felt helpless, lost almost everything i worked hard for if it wasn't for my lovely gf that was helping me. Because of her help i didn't lost my car. Slow winter times and no point in life increased my depression and i was thinking that its over and nothing can help me. At one time my eyes opened and i realized what i had became, from going successful to low life broke druggie. And it happened so fast too. Now i am motivating myself and being thankful for every little thing, i started again with some small amount of customers that i still had and doing best i can do and not looking at how much i make (i do not work for cheap, fair prices) and try to succeed again but this time without some mistakes that i learned along the way. I know some of you might call me stupid but what happened had happened. I realized that i failed and blame myself for it and do not want to be beaten up and be quitter. I know i can succeed again, even more then before because i really want it and its a burning desire that is just rushing in my veins. I have plan by getting up on feet and building stronger customer base and name again and soon open a real detail shop. I am not scared of failing at it but will put all my energy to succeed. I know a lot about whole sale work, private and high end polishing. I will work harder then i ever did and doing it better/smarter from learned mistakes. I am coming from poor family and with help of God i had trained myself that the person is who he/says he is. I learned that if i want something i have to get it myself and no one will help me except me. I am willing to work extra to satisfy client and will be working as much as needed. If anyone of you have any advise or suggestions or just good word pls welcome to do so.
