Rich Chanter used to work as a skilled mechanic for a company that didn\u2019t treat its staff or customers well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was there when he realised he had the opportunity to start his own business, be his own boss, and run things his way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich was up to the challenge and began his wheel building business, Wheel in Motion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it may seem that focusing all your efforts in one place may be the key to success, there isn\u2019t a manual for running a company and one size definitely does not fit all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Rich, he decided to operate Wheel in Motion alongside his full-time job repairing high-speed trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheel in Motion specialises in building and repairing motorcycle wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous clients of Rich\u2019s, from his other job, reached out to him when he started his own business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relationships that he put so much effort into creating helped his company build momentum and advertise for free through word-of-mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheel in Motion required good-quality tools and equipment to produce the quality work it is known for, which can be a costly expense for a solo business owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for Rich, Bookipi didn\u2019t cost him a cent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was able to use Bookipi to send estimates and invoices and accept payments easily and from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meant he could use his money to buy vital equipment rather than paying for accountants to do his bookkeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich Chanter believes the best thing about starting his own business was the freedom to do the jobs right and spend time taking care of the products and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t give up on an idea too easily. Some things take time to work out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
