Hey Everyone,
My name is Aldo Rodriguez and I am from sunny MIA or Miami FL. I own 2 quality repair shops in Miami called Envigo. April was one of our toughest months in almost 10 years. I took to the internet and started looking for solutions, ideas and inspiration. I think that is how i stumbled here. I'd like to say I think the future of computer repair is slowly going away even board repair. Yet I just purchased 3K Worth of equipment + a trip to new york to visit our friend Louis. to learn practical board repair am I completely retarded? Maybe but this is the shit i was born to do. To be a 75k a year computer repair technician and if practical board repair can milk an extra year or two out of this field then fuck it I'm in. I'd also like to say I feel super comfortable on these forums as cursing seems to be fully permitted! I'm worried about the future. I don't want to become an I.T. manager or a simple/boost mobile dealer? How else can we leverage this industry? How do you guys feel about the future? What else can we do? Here is some of the stuff i have come up with.

CCTV and Alarms
Smart home installs
Home theater
Low Voltage Cable running

Data Recovery (So I built my own clean room inside my shop and it looks fucking pro ill post pics below. and can show you guys how we did it. If interested it was originally intended to fix just glass on iphones but realized later selling the broken screens is way more profitable. When you take into account product that gets broken during the process and paid time of an employee capable of doing this in the US. So i figured maybe we should just turn this into a data recovery clean room? But i don't know anything about physical data recovery yet and frankly doesn't intrigue me as much as board repair.

Computer Training

These are just some of the services i was thinking of adding to shops. Anyhow i'm super happy to be part of the big leagues now and why my experience with board repair is nil i will try to help where i can or with what I've learned.
Thanks
-Aldo!

I am thinking about other things I can move into in the future NOW. Really just getting prepared for a move to somewhere else in my career should it need to happen, or more likely when it needs to happen. I don't want to sound pessimistic about that as I am an optimistic person, but it doesn't hurt to be realistic as well and plan/prepare.

One thing i find funny.
11 years ago i worked for the wurst reputation Flooring company in the netherlands.
Everyday we talked About it was gonne go down. ITS a dieing busniness and company would go bankrupt.
I had 3 companys after that. Al the same story

After the economical crisis (stil have it but less)
These companys are stil here. They even need more poeple

I just see what happens. And Meanwhile adjust things to keep cashflow going in the pocket.
