BodyShop Marketing

We're on a mission to help 43 independent autobody shops double their monthly revenue by end of 2024.

Founder

Your One Marketing Coach

I believe every entrepreneur needs a LinkedIn strategy. I don't just care about marketing I care about you!

Starland Supply (2000) Ltd

I worked as the sales leader and marketing director at Starland Supply. This role had me working with people every day. So it was a great opportunity to grow and polish my leadership skills.

Sales And Marketing Specialist

Eagle Automotive Center

I managed the day-to-day operations of Eagle Automotive's autobody division. In this position, I was working with clients, insurance companies, and employees every day. So here I took my PR skills to the next level.

AutoBody Shop Manager

Private Christian School

I was the lead teacher at a small Christian school. My classroom was the homeroom for grades 7-10. I viewed my role not only as a teacher but as a leader and role model for my students.

My business is to help independent auto body shops dominate online and serve more people. | Founder of BodyShop Marketing | Follower of Jesus | Husband & Dad 4x

Back in the early 80’s my daddy started an autobody shop in central British Columbia, Canada. Our shop had its humble beginnings right on the ranch that I grew up on. My daddy was a hard-working man that needed a way to support his family, so he learned the autobody trade and got to work fixing cars in the ranch shop. God blessed our family and the business grew so much that they needed to add on to the shop a couple of times to keep up with demand. Of course, this shop would become a second home to me while I worked, played, and grew up there.
 
By the early 90’s the shop on the ranch was bursting at the seams. It was time to find a bigger and better location. The shop was then moved to a new shop in our town and it’s actually still there today. 

I started managing the autobody shop in 2013. I wore many hats in the shop: customer service, shop management, parts ordering, insurance negotiations, and floor sweeper. Whatever needed to be done, I tackled it head-on. I knew that it was the customers that kept the lights turned on, so I made sure customer service was our number one priority. In 2021 I chose to move on and pursue other ventures, but I look back on my years of management and feel blessed for the opportunity. I learned so many lessons on the floor of that shop, and now I’m using them to serve my marketing customers. I understand the hard work that goes into running a successful autobody shop. I understand the pain that the industry is facing. But I believe that every independent shop has the right to be full of cars and be supported by their local communities.
 
My years of growing up on the ranch and helping around the autobody shop helped shape who I am today. I was raised on hard work, respect, integrity, and humility. One of my daddy’s sayings still sticks with me today, “Don’t stand around with your hands in your pockets”. So, this is how I operate BodyShop Marketing. Let’s get after it! 

Let’s chat today and see if there is any way I can support you and your shop!

In your life, you’ll have different moments where Jesus is asking you to trust him.

These are painful moments.

Moments where our illusion of control has been shattered.

Our sense of security… threatened.
We don’t know whats next. 
Or how it’ll all work out.

All we hear is a whisper…

“Jack, will you trust me?”

It’ll be so tempting to say no. 
So difficult to act with Faith. 

Sometimes, that’s all we have left. 

“Lord, where else shall I go? You have the words of eternal life”

Choosing to trust wholeheartedly in these impossible moments brings a wave of peace that makes no sense.

I Remember it well in my life.

When I had this conversation with Jesus.

Just after being diagnosed with cancer a second time and finding out my wife was pregnant in the same week.

Nowhere to hide. 
Only one place to go.
To the arms of Jesus with complete trust.

What a gift to experience this and come out on the other side to see how trust in Jesus leads to greater life in him.

Cancer free, healthy baby, thriving business.
All by his grace. 

You will have a chance to experience this.

Praying for you that you choose trust when the chance comes.

The reason for our hope is not because we’re promised it should be easy

It’s that we’re promised, he’s with us in every cross, and that every cross leads to a resurrection.

God bless you,

Jack 🙏

Generational wealth does NOT have to cost Millions of dollars. 

It DOES have to be radically intentional.

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

First I thought I needed $100k income.
Then the first hire
Then 100k invested
Then the dream home
Then another sales person
Then $1M+ of revenue

And then… I could be at peace.
Then… I could know that Jesus is in control.

It wasn’t something I consciously did.
But it was where my mental energy was.

My focus locked on different targets…
Instead of my eyes fixed on Him.

Not surprisingly, I’d feel like I was drowning.
Like Peter walking on water and then falling as soon as I take my eyes off Christ. 


More and more I’m convinced of this:

All good things in life come from trusting Jesus. 

When we’re trusting Him,
Paying attention to what He’s saying to us,
And following daily as He calls,
We can’t go wrong. 

So, if you feel like you’re drowning,
Pick your head up and look into the eyes of Jesus. 

With Him you can walk on water.

If you’re walking on water.
Keep your eyes fixed on Him. 
And give Him all the glory!

God bless you,

Jack 🙏

Picture this: retired at 61. $2.6M saved.
Small condo. Downsized. Simplified.
But now family visits are once a year…

If you’re 62 and see kids once a year
And live to 82 you have 20 visits left.

20+ yrs seems like plenty of time until you count the visits left

20 Christmases. 
20 conversations. 
20 memories.

You’d never believe it’s that few.
Until suddenly it is.

Instead: Bought the lake house. $880K. 5 bedrooms.

Family thought they were crazy.
“Why do two people need 5 bedrooms?”

Here’s why:

Summer week 1: Daughter’s family. 4 days.
Summer week 4: Son’s family. 5 days.
Fall weekend: Both families. Thanksgiving early.
Christmas: Everyone. 10+ people under one roof.


Grandkids learned to fish off their dock.
Daughters-in-law became actual friends.
Sons taught their kids to waterski.

Age 72: 11 years of memories. 
Hundreds of dinners.
Thousands of conversations. Priceless.

Your retirement isn’t just about you.
It’s about being the center your family orbits around.

If you’re 55+ and planning retirement, ask:

“Are we building for convenience or connection?”

Because if your parents are 60 and you see them once a year, you might have 20 visits left.

Make yours count. 
Set the precedent for your kids when they’re in your shoes. 

DM me. We help families build financial plans that fund connection, not just comfort.

My clients sold their $1.9 million home.

Bought a $1M home outside town instead.

Used the $900,000 difference to buy their lives back.

Everyone thought they were crazy.
“Why downsize when you can afford the big house?”

Because they realized something most people never do: 

Your house can either own you or free you.

Your family is what makes the memories, not the walls. 

Here’s what happened with that $900,000:

→ $500,000 to pay down debt
→ $100,000 to rebuild emergency fund
→ $300,000 invested for retirement

Net result: $6,500/m in cash flow today. 
And ~$800k in extra retirement income.

They went from house-rich and cash-poor to on track for their goals.

The new home has everything they actually need. 

But this was the hardest decision they ever made.

It’s so hard to let go. But if money or anything has a grip on you and your peace, that’s how you know it’s time to let go. 

Now they can see retirement in the future.

She works for the church and can see his stress dropped tremendously.

They traded square footage for peace.

Most Christians are living in financial prisons with granite countertops.

Beautiful cages are still cages.

Your house should serve your mission, 
not become your mission.

The goal isn’t the biggest house you can afford—it’s the smallest house that serves your purpose.

What would you do with an extra $6,500 per month if you right-sized your housing?

God bless you,

Jack 🙏

Mark hits $800K income at 48.
Finally “made it.”
Buys the lake house. $1.2M.
Upgrades to the German SUV. $95K.
Private school for both kids. $50K/year.

His calendar fills with:

	•	Board meetings
	•	Client dinners
	•	Weekend property maintenance
	•	Stress about keeping it all going

Age 53 no debt $2.5M + invested. 

Not sure what else they’re saving for. 
6 years left before kids are out of the house. 
Church involvement: check writer only.

This verse hits different now:

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”

Not because they aren’t faithful or close to God, but because none of the old playbooks fit them anymore. 

Every dollar used to have a purpose.
Now? Not sure what God wants to do with these blessings. 

The gap isn’t financial. 
It’s more about:

1. Discerning Gods direction.
2. Building a radically intentional plan to follow him. 
3. Continuing to surrender it all to Him. 

The truly wealthy families don’t chase bigger barns.

They build a plan that reflects what actually matters.

Before the money decides for them.

I want my boys to hear this message often and deeply. 

1. You are mine
2. I love you 
3. I am proud of you

Not because of your accomplishments. 
Because you are my son and I love you.

This is the God given formula to speak to our sons. 

“This is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased.”

God the father spoke these words over his Son Jesus Christ… 

Before his public ministry. 
Before the signs and wonders and miracles.
Before his passion, death, and resurrection.

Whatever way you can…
Give this message to your kids today. 
Through a text, a letter, a call, whatever. 
They need to hear it! They need to know it!

$250k salary + $70k in stock compensation.
5 kids. Pastor on weekends.
And a $50,000 DIY tax mistake.

This dad was doing everything right.

Faithful at work. 
Faithful at church. 
Faithful at home.

But doing his own taxes?
Not so much.

I was reviewing his returns when something caught my eye.

RSU cost basis: Wrong.
Every. Single. Year.

He was paying taxes on gains that didn’t exist.

Double taxation on the same income.

“Wait,” I said. “Let me double-check this…”

Two years of DIY returns.
Same mistake. Multiple times.
The IRS had been getting paid twice.

On money that was already taxed as income.
His reaction when I explained it?

“You’re telling me I’ve been overpaying by $25k annually?”

Yes. For two years.

“But TurboTax said—”
TurboTax doesn’t know RSUs like it should.

Sometimes God’s provision comes through getting the right help.

CPA filed the amended returns.

$50,000 refund coming.

That’s college tuition.
That’s breathing room.
That’s faithful stewardship recovered.

With 5 kids and weekend ministry, every dollar matters.

Especially the ones you’ve already earned.

When was the last time a professional actually reviewed your DIY strategy?

God bless you,

Jack 🙏

The prosperity gospel lie:

- God wants you wealthy and comfortable
- Faith = financial success
- Rich Christians are more blessed
- Money proves God’s favor

The poverty gospel lie:

- Godly people should be poor
- Money corrupts your faith
- Wealth makes you prideful
- Rich Christians aren’t spiritual

The biblical truth:

- God gives resources for kingdom purposes
- Wealth is a responsibility, not a reward
- Money amplifies who you already are
- Rich Christians are called to great faithfulness

Stop feeling guilty about your success.
Stop assuming it makes you more spiritual.

Your wealth isn’t about you.
It’s about what God wants to do through you.

Be humble with your blessings.
Be bold with your stewardship.

Imagine Christians unafraid to build wealth
And boldly stewarding that towards the kingdom…

Continue that for generations. 
That’s how you baptize finances. 

All for the glory of God!

God bless you,

I’m always shocked by how God provides when we take a leap of faith.

Last year:

- Emily stopped her part time job
- We bought a house and did repairs
- Little Joseph joined the family
- I hired a couple of coaches
- We hired a new associate
- My brother Matt joined us

Each of these alone felt like a big change. 

I’d be lying if I said it didn’t stress me out.

______

I knew these were all good and necessary.
It’s where God was leading us without a doubt.

But that’s doesn’t mean it isn’t nerve wracking.

That’s where faith comes in. 
To share this all with the Lord and pray:

“Jesus, I’m trying to trust you. I believe you’re with me. I want to follow you and lead my family to you. There is so much out of my control. I give you my best and surrender the rest to you”


It wasn’t all at once, but I’ve watched him provide so perfectly. 

1. Hit a record revenue yr and set to grow by 70% this yr.
2. New hires are unbelievably great (raise)
(Don’t tell Matthew Ziegler ) 
3. Renewed coaching contract
4. Emily, JP, and Joseph are thriving 

He provides often in the exact measure our heart needs to be closest to Him. 

God you are so good. Why do I doubt you? 

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 

Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”

- Matthew 6:26-27

Whatever leap of faith you’re considering,
If it will lead your family closer to God,
Take the leap and Trust.

God bless you,

Jack 🙏

Two Executives laid off at 58. 
5 yrs from retirement.
Severance: 6 months. $195K each.
Guy #1: Lifestyle $285K/year. 
Mortgage: $6,800/month. Retirement:  $740K.
By June : 80 applications. Zero offers. Panic.
Age 68: Still working. Because he has to.

Guy #2 : Lifestyle $190k on $420K income. No mortgage. Doesn’t panic. Prays. Waits.
Retirement: $2.6M. Actually feels possible.
June: Realizes he doesn’t need to go back.
August: Early retirement at 55. Part time work $40k/yr.
Age 68: Living the life Jim is still chasing.

The difference: years of preparation.

Here’s some brutal truth: 

The layoff doesn’t ruin you…
The decades before do and your intentionality afterwards. 

You can’t control when work ends.
You can control what happens when it does.

Margin isn’t built in crisis. 
It’s built in the mundane Tuesday decisions.

DM me. We build financial plans that survive the unexpected.

P.S. sometimes a lay off is the course correction we need to simplicity and re-finding what matters most. 

Can still play out beautifully but takes intentionality

Honestly this picture of my family is a big part of how I see wealth. 

My grandmother surrounded by her family. 

7 kids. 34 grandkids. 20+ great grandkids.

A beautiful, messy, faith filled, love filled family. 

A majority of the family still gets together several times a year. 

They ALL adore Mom Mom and listen to the wisdom she passes down.

The levels of wealth:

1. Survive
2. Pay the bills, save a little
3. Financial Freedom
4. Afford luxury
5. Generational wealth
6. Show off
7. Massive impact

The most common mistakes?

- getting stuck at 2
- skipping 3 
- prioritizing 4 over 5
- spending any amount of energy on 6

What do you think of this list?

What would you add?

Our team helps Christian families optimize for 3, 5, and 7. 

All the places where families thrive and aim at heaven!

Income jumped from $285K - $480K in 3 yrs
Debt paid off. ✓
401k maxed. ✓
Emergency fund loaded. ✓
Saving $8K/month. ✓

But asking: “Now what?”

Money piling up in savings. 
No clear purpose.

You’re doing everything right. 
But it feels aimless.

Here’s what I’ve noticed with families at this inflection point:

Without a plan, three things happen:

1.	Lifestyle quietly inflates to match income
2.	Savings grow but aren’t assigned to mission
3.	You hit 60 with $4M and no idea what it’s for

Here’s an example of how to map it out:

∙	$2k/m → Kids/ Grandkids college fund
∙	$1k/m → Legacy 
∙	$1k/m → Kids house down pmt fund
∙	1st 6 figure gift to donor advised fund→ increased giving church endowment
∙	$2k/m → Early retirement fund (Age 55 target)
∙   $2k/m → Sabbatical, mission trips and vacation fund

Same savings rate. 
Now every dollar has a name and a purpose.

Age 55: Retired. 
$300k endowment funds missionaries annually.
Grandkids’ college: fully funded.

The issue isn’t more income. 
It’s unclear stewardship.

You’ve been faithful getting here.
Don’t waste it by drifting through what’s next.

DM me. We turn surplus into strategy

We have one life. 
To live it without radical intentionality is a tragedy.

Going through the motions. 

Always looking to the weekend or some ambiguous wealth number.

What’s the point?

We were made for so much more.
Made for greatness.

And the best part?

God has already given you everything you need to accomplish his will in your life.

Listen to him.
Act boldly.
Trust deeply.

I promise. It will be an incredible adventure. 

And generations will be blessed by the gift of your life. 

Don’t waste another day without being intentional.

They say each kid costs $310k to raise.
So delay having children until you're “financially ready.”

They say there’s no room in the budget to tithe.
So give after you’re on track for your goals.

They say it's impossible to be financially successful 
And spend plenty of time with family. 

They say wealth will make you happy
Other "they's" say it will make you evil. 

They say being a SAHM is "wasted potential
So climb the ladder and send kids to daycare. 

They say the only way to serve God is formal ministry
So you stay in jobs that barely provide for the family

I don't know who "They" is in your life. 
But for the love of your family, life, and future...

PLEASE ignore "they"

It's not helping.

Greenland, inflation, Venezuela, Gold, Ice, Iran, tariffs, Epstein, Russia, the fed, Ukraine, Bitcoin, Israel, AI, Palestine, gov shutdown, stock market highs, Fraud, Mortgage bond buy backs

Anyone else’s head spinning yet? 
How do we keep track of it all?

How do we invest with all this going on?

A few things we need:

1. Deep trust and surrender to God. 

“Whether it be abundant blessing or tremendous difficulty, I trust you Jesus with my whole life and future”

2. Have a wise philosophy you understand, and can stick to during any noise.

3. Accountability to keep 1 and 2 consistent.

“Be still and know that I am God”
-Psalm 46:10

P.S. may not be a bad idea to do a news and media detox for a while. Trade it in for the bible and silence.

When someone on our team asks for time off or leave early or come in late and the reason is any of the following, the answer is always yes: 

1. Prayer, retreat, church 
2. Family needs them
3. Serving our community

Without hesitation. YES!

This is why we have this business.

We have to model and live what we help our clients build. 

A life aimed at heaven. Generational blessing in our families and community. All surrendered to Jesus. 

Our whole business, process, team and culture are built around this.

Over Christmas our family reflected on all that God had done in the last 3 yrs.

Between my wife and I, 5 brothers, parents: 

1. Two marriages
2. Four grandkids 
3. Overcoming 2 battles with cancer
4. Major conversions for 3 siblings
5. Three graduations
6. Four ACL tears and recoveries
7. Sold and moved from long term family home. 
8. Six new businesses started and thriving

We are not able to dream how God dreams. 

None of us could imagine that 3 yrs ago. 
Gods vision was so much greater than ours 

It was a brutal, beautiful, painful, joyful, faithful 3 years. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Wherever you are. 
Invite God into the dream.
Surrender the outcomes to him.

Putting ourselves in situations that force us to rely on God, and stretch us, are soooo good for our soul.

Psa: Please never use “buy now pay later.”





That’s all.
Thanks for stopping by.
