WOW, 10 years
I have been running Jubilee Motors 10 years now.
By now I was supposed to be rolling in the cash, driving a flash truck instead of my 20 year old one, own my own building and all those other things that motivated me back then.
None of that has happened but I don't regret a day of it.
I bought a business right at the start of the "Global Economic Recession".
For a while I thought "what the heck have I done" but we struggled through and are still here.
I have met lots of wonderful people and reconnected with others that I have been helping on and off for over 25 years.
I have an excellent employee (for more than 7 years) that always gets positive feedback from customers.
Would I like to be doing better? Sure, wouldn't we all, but I could also be a lot worse.
Big thanks to all the past, current and future customers that have helped achieve this milestone.
As a small celebration of 10 years, anyone who books a WOF and says they saw this post on Neighbourly gets $10 off our already low price of $40.
Offer valid until the end of September 2017.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
