Our class had the pleasure of meeting Mark Probst and visit his business, Probst Auto Body,. Mark talked to us about his story of how he started from working on cars in his garage to owning an auto body shop and how he runs his business now.
Some of the things I connected with from his story are that the challenges we face in life happen for a reason and can provide opportunities if you take advantage of them. Also, the challenges we face shape us to become the person we are now, and that life’s a journey, not a destination.
At Probst Auto Body, he told us how he uses software to help track parts and their costs. He also talked about DISC and how he needs to switch between the DISC personalities depending on the situation. He suggested that we shouldn’t let the DISC score decide the way we act and that we should be adaptive to every situation with the personality needed. He then gave us some tips and examples on how we can get into the different mindsets to aid us in our class business.
On behalf of Clay County CEO, we thank you, Mark Probst, for your time and for sharing your story and wisdom.
