Don't Forget Your Own

Getting fired up for a week is one thing, but now we have to keep the mojo moving. In a perfect world, we generate revenue through the Powersport Academy. This allows for hiring and delegation on the Manana No Mas! side of things. And we can hire staff out of the WP Agency Academy as a couple of rockstars show great promise.

Coffee Cup

March 16, 2026

There are some sayings out in society. One that boils to the top in the automotive field is “Never buy a personal vehicle from a technician”. Why? Because they are too busy earning a living by working on other cars. Their own car gets band-aided and limps to the finish line. The same can be said about agency work.

One of my own Passion Projects, the Powersport Academy, was one such project. I built it years ago and delayed necessary changes. While there were some sales through the property, it has not met expectations. In order to understand the gravity of this, I feel like we need to share the expectations.

You Must See the Opportunity

  • It is the best dealership training for Powersport Dealers in the USA
  • It features a full year of coaching for staff and includes 6 online courses
  • We have packages and offers that range from $27.00 to $45,000.00
  • Participants in our training typically see $700,000 – 900,000.00 increases in revenue
  • Our top-line revenue should be $1,000,000.00/yr but at minumum $400,000.00

Over the last two years we have partnered with Herohub (a 20-club organizer) to broker a version of the training through us, at a fraction of the revenue. Although a blessing, it has also been a curse. Here is why.

The idea of a third party taking over for sales and admin seems great. The influx of revenue is great, but if you act like a technician driving a broken car – you lose pace. This sense of “They got it” breeds a simplistic confidence that is unfounded. Not only that, but the work that we have been doing as Manana No Mas! (the agency) has not been generating the income that is the potential of the Powersport Academy.

Making the Change

A friend in the agency space helped me see the light last week, and we are refocused and pushing forward. We have already completely restructured the website at https://powersportacademy.com and are currently exploring modified offers to urge enrolment in our program.

If we are to be a “game-changing agency” in the space, it only makes sense that we have a success piece to show off. On top of that, we have the WP Agency Academy that we recently soft-released and are doing a full push in the coming months.

Our goal is to share with other (young) people in the space. We want to show them how to successfully launch an agency and avoid some of the common pitfalls. A profitable course product with coaching and community is a great testimonial.

You Have to Commit

Getting fired up for a week is one thing, but now we have to keep the mojo moving. In a perfect world, we generate revenue through the Powersport Academy. This allows for hiring and delegation on the Manana No Mas! side of things. And we can hire staff out of the WP Agency Academy as a couple of rockstars show great promise.

Remember, the goal of the agency academy is to encourage them to open their own agency. So having a supply of people that I can hire and promote to their own ownership will be heavily rewarding.

None of this is fast moving. It all takes time, consideration, a degree of failure, learning and tweaking. Eventually, we will find the combination that unlocks magic.

What Can You Do?

  1. Send anyone you know who owns a motorcycle dealership to https://powersportacademy.com
  2. Send any recent or upcoming graduates who have an interest in webwork to https://wpagencyacademy.com
  3. Play “Who do you know, that I should know?” – if you think you have someone in your circles I should be connected to, connect us on a combined LinkedIn Message for a warm introduction. (I can do the same for you)

Where Does All This Lead?

As one gets older, it can’t be helped. We start to think about how we are affecting others. Revenue can be both a selfish pursuit and a means to pay it forward. I think about how we can pass down our knowledge to the younger generations, and my heart sings. This is why you see our direction in eLearning, Training, Speaking, and reaching the masses through technology.

Don’t Forget Your Own

In this case study, you can very tangibly see how forgetting or forsaking our own projects can negatively impact us (you). Here we are, sitting on a completed project receiving next to zero energy, but capable of adding ONE MILLION dollars in annual revenue. Not only that, but it benefits the customers at a 10x investment.

When we get complacent and forget our own, we don’t just hurt ourselves… we neglect everyone else that would have benefited from the effort. Let’s go!!!
