I Spent 10 Years Stuck at $1.7M, Now I'm About To Hit $5M (How I Did It) | EP12 | Shop Fix Academy Podcast

<p>For ten years, Wayne Watson&#39;s shop hit the same wall — $1.5M to $1.7M in revenue, eight bays, no way through. He&#39;d been in business since 1993, tried everything, and still couldn&#39;t crack $2 million. Then something shifted. Today he runs 18 bays, did $4M last year, and his team is already gunning for $6M. He explains how he spent years managing the wrong numbers: parts percentage, GP benchmarks, shop supplies, before discovering where the real breakthrough was hiding and the reframe that reordered how he sees his entire business: that the difference between broke and profitable usually comes down to three or four cars a day.Get the structure, coaching, and accountability to take control of your numbers and build a more profitable shop with Shop Fix LITE. https://shopfixacademy.com/shop-fix-lite?utm_source=sfa-podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=join-lite&amp;utm_content=ctaLearn alongside operators who have overcome the same financial, leadership, and operational challenges you’re facing at a Shop Fix Academy Event.https://shopfixacademy.com/upcoming-events?utm_source=sfa-podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=sfa-events-2026&amp;utm_content=cta Stop tracking numbers without knowing what to do next, watch From Guesswork to Growth and learn the metrics that actually drive profit.https://shopfixacademy.com/guessworktogrowth?utm_source=sfa-podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=fromguessworktogrowth&amp;utm_content=cta</p>
