Tools

Do you know where your tools are?

Are you using your tools?

Do you know where to find your tools?

When I think about tools, I think about a workshop. Not a training workshop per say but a garage workshop.

I recall seeing a few workshops growing up on a farm. My dad was a "jack of all trades" as most farmers are. He had a great workshop. Of course he kept it fairly tidy and knew where everything was. How did he do this?

Well his workshop was something he valued, some where he spent a lot of time and energy, fixing cars or farm machinery. If he needed a tool he knew where it was and that's because he took note of where he left it. This saved him time and energy and frustration looking for it when he needed it.

Are we familiar with our workshop?

Do we spend the time to go to posapproach.com or teepasnow.com and look under all the tabs and know where our tools are?

Have we read our manual that was given to us on our training day? Do we know what's in there, or have we just tossed it aside since we became certified?

Are we reviewing our videos to become more practiced with our material and keeping up with our skills?

How does a mechanic fix a car properly if he has no tools or doesn't know where they are when he needs them?

So I ask you this, how do we present a workshop well, if we don't use our tools or even know where they are?

I have compared other garages with my dad's and WOW, there is stuff all over the place. How does this change the ability for someone to have something "fixed" in a timely manner?

Our tools are there, let's get familiar to where they are and how we can use them so that when we need them we know right where they are.
