Interested in starting your own driving school business, but not sure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Juan Pablo Mo, co-founder at Lauzon Driving School, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Tell us all about your business...
We are a school that promotes road safety for future drivers.
What's your background and motivation to grow as a solopreneur?
I started this business after losing a childhood friend in a car accident. I realized we need more road safety education, so giving the proper education became my mission.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We planted 10000 trees and donated nearly 1 million $ in food worth using our impact transaction program.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being an entrepreneur?
The hardest thing is to balance work and personal time. I have a kid now, and a second one coming.. it’s like working on two full-time jobs.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run or grow a small business today?
- Find a purpose because if your business doesn’t give you profit, at least you have a sense, and you will be happy with your salary.
- Be cooperative; shortly, businesses will transition to collaborative business models because these business models give power to ordinary people.
- Be an impact on the community.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Be true to yourself and always share your ideas so other people can input your ideas.
