Fact or Fiction

I’ve been dormant to the issues and concerns of the auto collision industry for a few months now and it feels good but, this morning I got this email notification:

It stirs up all kinds of emotions and unfulfilled commitments so,
I follow the link, registered as user because that’s the only way I could post on
Refinshnetwork.info this site.

I posed this question to my self a few months ago, is the auto collision industry operating in fact or fiction? My conclusion was fiction – I came up with my conclusion not just from listening to insiders tell me their opinions or stories but from actual talking with industry lobbyists, associations, government representatives, universities, Insurance companies, repairers, suppliers, technicians, magazines and yes… consumers. In ward fitting, lack of direction and problem resolutions, confronting change and the inability to foster universal support are particles of a fictional industry. With all this going on in the auto collision industry its no wonder forums, magazines and articles are lacking real substance and support that it should be receiving - actually its called “PARANOIA”

The best way to live or work in a fictional auto collision environment is to remain ignorant to the facts. The good thing for me is I’ve been able to take a few months off, away from the auto collision industry to reestablish my thoughts and direction. The bad thing is, how am I going to come back and function in an industry that I’ve had so much insight in, care for and then listen to participants trying to enroll me in their corporate mission if I feel it lacks integrity?

I'm hopping that the next conversations I have with participants in the auto collision industry has a direction of unification and empowerment!
