About this listen

In this episode, Rick White from 180BIZ challenges the myth of control that so many auto repair shop owners cling to—and reveals a more powerful path forward: leading through influence and practicing acceptance.

Rick walks listeners through the real difference between what shop owners think they control and what they actually do. He explains why trying to force results leads to frustration, and how understanding influence can turn a disengaged team into one that’s motivated and aligned.

Listeners will also learn why acceptance isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. It’s how great leaders turn unexpected outcomes into learning moments that fuel growth.

If you’re tired of chasing control and ready to lead with clarity, connection, and purpose, this episode is for you.
