Experienced mechanics, young experienced mechanics harder to find then a needle in a haystack. They need a strong desire to succeed, an entrepreneurial spirit, willingness to stay out of debt and set future goals, willingness to learn something new every day, and be teachable. And even a stronger will to stay with it no matter what.
In short, character.
The elders are stepping out, and the youngsters have great opportunity to step in.
But do they have the above character today?
If you know one, they should speak with me.

I am still getting lots of people looking at this page, and texting, calling, and leaving message. Looking for someone to fix their mowers.
Sure do want too, but not as young as I once was!
And I must have a study paycheck.
I apologize to the customers, and regret my situation. Should have took my Social Security at 62 and stayed working in the shop. But even then, would have needed debt paid off and capital to hire help. This industry requires a business to be a dealer of a brand, better pricing on parts, and spring order parts during the off season for even larger discounts. And more profit part money invested. That takes capital as well. And really takes a good parts person, to know the parts the business sold most of the year before, and the newer models for that new year.
If the business is set up to isolate the shop from customers, has enough help to maintain parts and sales, etc., it could do well. There is plenty of work out there. Just more than one person can handle by themself in a 1 man operation.
Seen the shop in Milsap, Mineral Wells, is for sale, and seen one in Grandbury selling out parts because he mentioned he was unable to do the work anymore. The one in Eastland closed a few years ago. The only one in Breckenridge is Perry Automotive, and they said they do everything. That will be overwhelming when they have more business than they can handle. And 2-4 weeks behind. Think Yoes Automotive works on side X sides. And then Paw Industries in Graham, which told me a while back, they only work on those sold there. Which is probably the easiest way to manage parts and the entire business?
Hope this helps you out.
And I will let you know if my situation changes, however, someone would have to leave me a huge inheritance, by me out and employ me, win the lottery I don’t play, or set my business up with a go fund me, and none are likely?
Thanks for listening to my vents, and for the business of the past, but it is what it is, and have to do what I have to do.
Sincerely, Monte at A Cutting Venue, LLC

The way this works is, 9th-12th graders, can start school here, where the education starts with breakfast, normal teachings, and Bible teachings. Then students will be allowed to learn a trade in any of the business that open up on the property. They furnish the building, but the business is all the ownership of the business. They get a percentage to help feed and educate the young adults!
They will have welding, leather work, things like how to change a flat tire, and others.
I would like to move my business there, but financially not able, please pray, if the Lord leads me this direction, then I will follow. If you know me, it has always been my interest to train and educate young adults, who some day can take over my business. There are no young people taking up trades to continue businesses we old guys are soon to leave. And most importantly, putting God front and center. Win win situation for all. Public schools remove them, so someone needs to extend their abilities to learn. College education isn’t for everyone, even though I hear, young people don’t want to learn or work? I have found ones who do, I just can’t train and pay them at the same time, the time for opportunity for them, is before they get married or on their own. Build their own living, and then think about starting a family of their own. Totally opposite of the generations we grew up in.
God 1st, education 2nd, career 3rd, and family 4th. A system made for success!

I see a need for young people to learn trades, and since some do not have the funds to pay for schooling, I see a need for 10:10 Ministries.
And for the past few years, I have been trying to teach young men with my small engine repair shop, and to hopefully buy me out some day. However, I just acquired to much debt, and paying them to learn isn’t easy, especially if you have a number of debt to pay personally.
I not only know the outdoor power repair business, but I know the do and don’t do of this industry.
It is unfortunate how Dawn and I got here, with the loss of our oldest daughter Savannah, and feeling a great personal love to help any way with our grandchildren.
I have sent prayers to God, what to do with my situation. And thanks to Petex, I have employment. But still have concerns with what to do with my shop tools and equipment? After all, if I couldn’t teach someone, and give them experience, then who will buy me out? Sure, I can eBay, or I can go to shops selling it off one piece at a time. But how much would it cost to sell it all? Or, I could do it part time, and pay the utilities, internet, and rent on building and have very little left?
Then I hear through Facebook, about 10:10 ministries. And I think about how we have left Breckenridge area, but always something pulls us back. Knowing we all are part of something bigger, God’s plan and will for our lives. And knowing we are not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed in a renewing of our minds to fulfill God’s good will, I am seeing a vision. Feeling a tug, similar to the one I receive right before I walked the isle of Necessity Baptist Church to except Jesus into my life. Man, I thought my legs would fall out from underneath me if I stepped out. And honestly, I think they would have, it God didn’t keep lifting me up. That short trip down the aisle seem so far away at the time, but has proved to be my best steps ever. I know Savannah is with her first Father in heaven, who knew her in her mother’s womb. Dawn was born with complications herself, and her mom told us, she may not be able to have children. So I, through faith, know just how blessed we are to be the parents of two daughters and 5 grandchildren.
Just a father here on earth.
Matthew 19:21-23 came to me for some reason, a while back. God always seems to send me messages through prayer when I need them most. But this one struck me as odd. Because I am certainly not rich, and should have no problem allowing possessions from keeping me from following my wonderful Savior!
“If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasures in Heaven: and come follow me.
And Romans 12:2 ,,,echoes the same things!
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and ACCEPTABLE, and perfect will of God. Amen.
I am still not sure, and still scared of making bold moves, but I have now seen some really powerful works from my God, who can make all things possible, in which I can not being of human flesh.
I ask, if you feel in your heart to donate to a wonderful ministry, I would love to see God’s will and return on 10:10 Ministries.
I have not met them, but certainly intend to after Christmas.
And need your prayers, that God has finally revealed to me my calling. If so, I am considering donating all my shop equipment and tools to this worthy work of God’s ministry, that shares my same passion!
