Los Angeles

I had a very interesting conversation with one of the parents at my daughter’s soccer practice; I’m not saying it’s the first conversation of such for me, but this conversation made me weigh into the conscious reality of my economical future situation as a tech in the auto collision industry. At the same time I also realized that my economical perspective is not isolated - it’s actually shared by many of people in different professions, trades and careers I’ve spoken with.

As I was engaged in the conversation listening, I herd a repetitive statement “I’m living from pay cheque to pay cheque” is this the reality in today’s economy? I think so, especially for those people who are responsible for balancing family, mortgage and car payments.

I have been watching the American presidential race and the their economical woes on CNN closely for the last couple of weeks, “making for great reality T.V.” The conclusion I have drawn on is “the American people of today and tomorrow are saying” “we need a fresh, new direction that utilizes our strengths in a changing global society.”

Has it been a coincident that I’ve acknowledged the conversation with the soccer parent and my sudden interest in American’s social and economical discord? No.

I realized a long time ago it doesn’t matter how hard you work, without strengthening future possibilities you can fall instant victim to internal and external economical change.

This is why; there are two important economical responsibilities for me to focus on. The first is, to have a strong and unified Canadian auto collision industry and the second is connected to associating my self with collective industry trendsetters.

The beginning of March –2008 I will be spending one week in Los Angeles, California at a WFG conference – an up and coming wealth building enterprise that’s making esteem headway in the new financial economy.

I will be taking time out and visiting local area businesses (auto collision and travel) of direct interest to me – you see I look at it like this…the auto collision industry is where I’m at right now and the travel industry is where I will be in the future. When I’m conducting business and research in the travel industry I see a lot of similarities to the auto collision industry’s infrastructure layout.

I will go into this more in a future blogs and this might be a good question for those that are familiar with the auto collision industry procedures. Do you see any industry that has a local infrastructure demand that spans globally like the collision industry?
