How carwashes can invest like entrepreneurs to outperform the norm.

Contributor Phil Ash discusses how investing like an entrepreneur can help to consistently beat the market in the March feature, “Nine key traits of successful investors.”

“These [nine] essential characteristics embody the spirit of entrepreneurial investors, capturing the dynamic essence of self-starters to ensure entrepreneurs — and others who share their groundbreaking spirit — will always have the financial fuel they need to achieve their dreams,” writes Ash in the article.

Ash explains in the article that business owners and investors are quite alike when it comes to their willingness to take calculated risks for which the payoff can be substantial. “It is this shared spirit that can help the entrepreneurial-minded investor cultivate a profitable portfolio that outperforms most other investors and achieves his or her financial goal,” he concludes in the article.

Reaching new reclaim heights

There is a lot of variety in the carwash industry. Not only are there different types of washes, but the design, equipment, chemistry, staffing and service can greatly vary from one site to the next. However, there’s one non-negotiable constant in every wash: Water.

Since water — and lots of it — is so essential to this industry, it only makes sense to strive for ways to maximize every single drop. That’s where the reclaim process comes in. Collecting, rehabilitating and reusing as much water as possible is essential to protect the environment, the availability of resources and a carwash’s bottom line. That’s why industry leaders are currently driving innovation to find ways to reclaim even more water than ever.
