We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Juan Alvarado a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Juan , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
Everything starts with a dream My dream was to always be my own boss and own a business of my own and my other dream has always been cars super cars and luxury cars to be specific. One day I decided to start a business putting together those two dreams I always had in mind so I started a mobile auto detail service and hoping to work on cars I always had dream of I started to work at a detail center to start getting some knowledge on washing and detailing cars I work my way up from a regular car washing guy to a detailer and move up in to assisted manager but my goal was always to one day have my one detailing business and work on the type of cars I always dream of I never lost my focus on what I wanted to accomplish ones I had the knowledge of working on cars and how to sell products and how to interact with clients I told my self is now or never to go and chase my dream of owning my own business and doing what I always dream of
Juan , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Juan Alvarado I always had a dream of one day owning a business of my own but not any business what I’m really passionate about is cars I love luxury and exotic cars I always wanted to combine my passion and my dream so I started a mobile autos detailing business called DLuxurydetail. We provide mobile car washes and detail services to any car but we specialize on luxury and exotic cars such as Rolls Royce, Mclaren, Ferrari, Bentley and many more my goal was always to take my business a little bit above a normal car wash or detail business so we started to implement different type of washes for different type of cars such as cars that are wrap in vinyl cars that are topped with ceramic coatings or cars that have a special type of paint work such as Matt colors that took my business from being a normal car wash and detail business to an exclusive mobile detail service that provides top of the line services to maintain cars that are on the higher level of price such as exotic cars so now we don’t only have regular clients that call us and get our services we have members that we provide our services to in regular bases and we actually have rally teams that we provide our services to. It’s been hard work but the goal was always to make my business different from any other business about the and I think we are in the right path with all that we have done
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
The first lesson that I had to work with when I first started my business is that they are always going to be ups and down on business but it’s your job as a boss and leader of your business to work with the problem and innovate your self and your business to what ever different obstacles it throughs you
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
For me it was a little easy to find the right person to be at front of my business all the time and represent me and my business like I would be doing it and that person is my brother Ivan he came later on to the business but I knew he was the one because like me he was always in to cars and the car industry so for me I saw the same passion on him as the same one I had so I brought him on board and since then we being doing what we both love
