Being mechanically inclined, Lowe Robinson began learning to run all the machines in woodshop and that experience directed him into auto shop. Lowe would take as many as four old vehicles per year to his school’s auto shop, fix them and sell them. He learned how to fix cars by doing just that, work on the cars.
Lowe pointed out that learning can be accomplished by yourself, in a school program or even at a local auto shop. Just go in and tell the business owner that you want to learn how to fix cars and you’re willing to do any kind of work in the auto business. Lowe even offers this in his business today.
Learning by getting involved is the best way to adapt into a new business. Lowe sees resourcefulness as the first step to finding opportunities to learn. After that, you just learn to adapt yourself to fit within the new learning experience. It really works.
