Happiness is a choice

“Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give.”

This quote inspired Mike Dillion to reevaluate his priorities and make a major life change. Keep reading to learn how it affected him. 

At the end of my shift my feet hurt, I smelled like oil and sweat, but I was so happy knowing I helped an expecting mother change out her tires while saving her about $500 with a generic brand.

“Mike, stop underselling. Your priority is to make money, not build relationships” is what Ted, my supervisor always told me. 

Ted knew where I was coming from and I understood it was his job to make sure our department was servicing a certain amount of customers and reaching an X amount of sales every week. 

I became a mechanic because I genuinely wanted to help people. But this job turned me into a salesperson. I hated it, but I had no choice because my wife and I had just recently bought a house and I promised her we’d be ok. 

Time was up

I met my quota month after month, even earning a few bonuses for it but I was so unhappy and Ted could tell. 

“You know, your 2-year contract is almost up. You’re talented. If you decide to stay on, that’s cool, but if you decide to do something on your own, you could make it. I believe in you.”

Starting my own business was too risky. My wife would definitely worry about our finances. But I casually brought it up to her.

“I believe in you.” she said with confidence.

She believed in me because so many others did too. She showed me the website with all the 5-star reviews from our service department.

The majority of the reviews were from my clients. They mentioned how friendly and helpful I was. They were calling me the “The go-to Mechanic.”

It was all the confidence I needed to leave my job and start my own business.

The gift that keeps on giving

In the beginning, I rented a garage spot to fix cars, and when old clients heard I left my position at the dealership, they brought their business to me and profits increased every week and then every month. 

I was finally free to treat my customers the way I wanted. I didn’t sell them things they didn’t need for their car. If they didn’t need a new timing belt, I’d let them know. I made sure they were safe and quoted them wholesale prices, not retail. 

The more I gave to my clients, the more business I earned.

It just proves that generosity is a gift that keeps on giving.
