Maybe you should train poeple and hire the ones that you find are good enough for your working standards, i konw it'll take alot of time but it'll at least keep your business going and with some time you can even expend more
i was going to say the same. step one: class. pick the ones u like. step two: training on site. still they pay u to keep training them. step three: hiring. rinse and repeat. step four. training online for the ones that r not in the U.S. like me.
The problem is, at that moment, your stuff has equal skills, they will do their own business. No need for a boss and more money. I do electronic repairs here in europe for my kids, family, friends. Sometimes I sell repaired stuff. I often think about the time after my time at university. I want to be self employed but as a repair guy there is only a small chance to grew a bigger business than a one man show. And that's the problem. You can hire people for paperwork or for a webshop ( in the case of northridge) but the actual work stays on your table.
Training is desperately needed in the repair industry. I'd love to see you start training people to learn your skills. Also, make the changes that need to be made. You're no good to anyone if you're burned out.
I am a subscriber of your channel i love your videos. I wish I have same stuff you have to fix the things you fix. I have some basic gear. I learned alot from you guys. Keep it going
@TronicsFixI agree. It's not that I'm burned out, I enjoy what I do, but just not enough hours in the day to finish the work. Customers always have high expectations when bringing in or mailing devices over for repair, especially those who pay for expedited service. If you're late, or a device is not fixable, they leave a negative review. I'll have better control over my time if I limit repairs and focus on training. I'll choose from those who trained with me to work at the shop and do board repairs or possibly create a Global network of NorthridgeFix trainees who completed the required courses and send business over to them with profit share. People suggested Udemy / Patreon and pre-recorded videos for training. While that may be the auto pilot way of doing it, I feel that live interaction via zoon is more effective and I'll get to know my students and possibly give everyone the opportunity for an internship and choose from those who qualify. Course are already planned but transitioning smoothly into the next phase is what's I'm working on.
I tried to do everything myself from 2008-2011. I burned out bigtime. My supply company went from selling 900-1200 parts a day to being in massive debt and crashing completely, and my repair business moved to a store with me as the only technician. I didn't mentally recover until mid 2013/early 2014. The problem I had with letting business grow too fast was that while I was working to put out all the fires, I eventually looked over something that wound up biting me in the ass & losing me all the money I made from the business growing. Looking back, it wasn't the work necessarily that was responsible for when I made or lost a large amount of money, it was a decision. A good decision I made, or a bad decision I made, that cost me or made me six figures here and there. I now value having a clear enough head to make good decisions, If I could go back in time and talk to 19 yr old me. Some of the stuff like where do I find X chip, how to automate ecommerce with specialized items so a shipping clerk who has no idea what any of this are took me a while to put together. but I am now at a point where I have someone who knows nothing about this business doing it well. If you ever want to go over what can be done to make this easier I'm happy to help and provide tips and what I learned from all my past failures. You probably have this figured out by now though. Going from 2-3 employees up to 12-14 while not losing the reputation/reviews we were known for was very difficult for me. But now I am at a point where I can say that for each individual job, my employee can do it better than me. not that that is setting a very high bar... but it is what most business owners strive for. I can give a board to Paul or Chris and know it'll be fixed better and faster than me. I can give a 1 star review to Kevin or Steve and know they will turn it into a 5 star faster than me. I can give a screen repair to Tagir or Olga and know they will do it with a lower chance of getting dust between the backlight layer & the polarizer than me... and that's a beautiful thing. The one mistake I made was moving to a place 3x the price in NYC at the worst possible time, but that is something I am working towards fixing. Best of luck. Don't let yourself burn out! It is never too late to change strategy... everytime someone throws in the towel and says F it, all of their knowledge, skill, ideas, etc. is lost forever.
I haven't figured out the whole equation yet, but I'm making progress choosing priorities and smoothly transitioning into the next phase. I appreciate the offer to talk. I'll definitely reach out if I need your help.
Mr Rossmann is a giver of all givers, which means he will always have. Rain or shine, and game recognizes game, which means Alex is a giver too.. so blessings will follow too
A couple of things. 1. Hire people that can work on your stuff but are not necessarily near you. I know a guy who is an excellent troubleshooter, and can micro solder, but he lives in Florida. I am sure he is not the only one who is like this. Send them the jobs that are not expedited to start off and see how they work out, later you can send them the expedited stuff to repair if they do work out. If after six months they work out, send them the equipemt you use to set up a shop and they are now a satellite office for you. Like McDonalds, a franchise, sort of. 2. Make a set of video classes that go through the fundamentals of what you do. Charge for those classes, and give the students a Northridge Certification after they complete the videos. Charge $499.00 for the video training. 3. Those who have completed the videos will then be invited for an inhouse set of on-site training classes. You offer that training four times a year and the class size of fifty. I have given classes on data recovery and you can easily train fifty people if you have two doing the training. Set up an entire package with airfare, hotels, food, and make it a three - five day event. We would charge $3000.00 for a three day even and everything was included, you could easily charge $5000.00 per person with fifty people that is $250,000.00. The airfare, room, and food would be about forty percent of that, the rest is profit. 4. Hire a warehouse guy to do all of your shipping. You said you are making all kinds of money, then rent a warehouse, stock it and put someone in charge of that. Then they can hire people to fill your orders, liker a mini Amazon. 5. Finally, for those who have finished the video and onsite training allow them to franchise your business model. Charge them $50,000.00 for the franchise and you will share in the profits of their business. Send your franchise people your overflow, teach them your marketing, etc, etc. You are on the cusp of something great here my friend. You could be the Jeff Bezos of board repair and service. Don't let success bury you, let it make you greater than you already are. Godd luck.
If Jeff bezos was in this industry he would destroy family repair shops. The good news is that component board troubleshooting and repair requires a lot of knowledge AND years of experience through suffering. Many can try, only a few will become good. This high bar disqualifies many and allows the industry to survive.
You're doing the training right here on TH-cam. If someone is serious about learning and working with you, the first step is watching 100% of your TH-cam videos. This is the only feasible way to train that many people.
I am now retired. I owned a succeful brown goods repair business for almost 40 years. I spent so much time with my business I lost may family and my home and had to start again. It is true, a business takes too much from a person. I was the one who had to repair the items no one else could, usually in an evening or over the weekend. I had deadlines to meet and worked on Christmas days as well to ensure my customers did not get let down. My children said, "If it goes wrong, I will buy another one" and did not want to carry on the business. A real shame. I now spend just 3 hours a day in my workshop, repairing things that no one else can repair, living on my own but I have many good friends. You are young enough to enjoy life as well as your business. Don't let it take over your life and enjoy your family. You only get one chance! Take care.
Definitely raise your prices. You could also suspend orders for say 2 weeks, to work on the backlog. Everybody will understand, and you can stop the pile of work from growing. All the best!
Hi Alex, I've been watching your videos for a long time!! However don't comment very often I'm sorry. Your work ethic is incredible. You point out you've made enough money to last your life time which is incredible!! I love your videos and the day they stop will be a sad day!! That being said I go by the motto "work to live not live to work" I hope you find someone who can take over the day to day running of your shop so you can move forward, plan your training sessions around your life not your life around the training sessions.

A few recommendations from helping my parents in their businesses. 1. A drop list menu for items that can be fixed on the site would really help reduce the amount of items that are being sent over to you that you just don't fix at all 2. place a hault for mail ins until everything is finally under control. 3. once everything is under control, hire individulas that are experienced in different areas for repairs and only train as neeed. once the new hires are set, I strongly believe that you will have some time time to train classes a few times a week for an hour or so for those who want to learn. or tune up their skills. hope these tips help.
This Channel along with Louis Rossman's Channel gives me the inspiration to also one day try and jump into electronic repair. I think advanced repairs like the ones seen on this channel will have a strong future with the new onset of chip manufacture. Had I of been closer to California, I would have liked to try and learn some more of the repairs at that store, but I don't think I'd have the experience to diagnose repair half of the stuff that goes into the store. It's a skill that really takes some brainpower and knowledge set to really become experienced in.
I see lots of people commenting that training others will result in competition, or the people you train starting their own shop. I believe these comments are from people who do not run businesses... Operating a business involves a lot more than being able to do a repair, and very few people do it successfully. Many people much prefer to have a pay rate they can rely on and are happy to work for someone else. The few that do have what it takes to start their own shop, are welcome additions to help spread the workload. Think about how many restaurants, hair salons, coffee shops, churches are in your town/city... There are plenty of people to support all these places, and 99% of those people have electronic devices, and the nature of those devices is that they break. It our (repair shop owners) reasonability to make repairing a device as economical as possible, and an enjoyable experience for everyone we can, so that repair, instead of replace, becomes the norm again. Training only results to better serve the community, the environment, and yourself/your family. If I were in your position I would probably restrict mail-ins for a short time to get through the backlog. Eliminate expedited, if someone requests expedited service, take it case by case based on your workload, and charge accordingly. Prioritize local training in order to hire from your training pool, once you hire, expand training for others to travel in for training.
أولا الله يوفقك ثانيا راعي في الانتقال قصص البريد والتسليم وسرعته لانها كثير بتفرق معك . ثالثا انا شغلي لسنوات مع قطع الكمبيوتر من اللوحات للكروت والباور ، ولكن للاسف خلال فترة انقطاعي بسبب الانتقال اشتغلت فترة مع الروبوتات الصناعيه وبصراحه فيها متعه أكبر . لو هالعرض كان قبل 5 سنوات كنت انا براسي جيت لعندك . ربنا يوفقك يا غالي
you are my inspiration, my mentor.. i will make a branch same on what you are doing in the Philippines. currently I am in Mexico working on a semiconductor factory as board technician. Truly salute on what you are doing, especially the honesty. more power and god bless
Thank you for what you do. I don't always comment on people videos but yours deserves my attention. I like your sincerity, humility, honesty, sense of humor and work ethic. Too bad, I am not local. If you were, I would be pleased with you. I like techs and I do it on a regular basis but not not as much as you do. You are not the first person I started watching tech videos but when I came your Chanel I was hooked. I learned a lot just by watching your videos. I also appreciate you don't use cursed words in your videos because the respect you show towards your audience. That's commendable! Keep up the good work!
This is very true but I believe you will find a way to overcome it. Looking forward to seeing what you do and always enjoy your videos and learning from them. All the best Alex. Thank you so much. 👍
I respect you and what you do. You're a role model in the industry. They're are too many parts swappers and not enough microsolderers. You want freedom, make a test for them to pass and have them work for you for 3 months then send them off to soldering school but you pay 1/2 so they need to prove themselves if they do it. I am a business owner and I get it. I'm trying to learn microsoldering myself. We have 28 repair shops but one microsolderer in the big city. Trust me, it's too many shop and not enough devices. We have cleaned up other shops messes before.
Soooooo. You have reached the point where many of us self employed get stuck. I’m a Plumber in Florida and have trained several people over the years, to just see them take their training somewhere else before I am able to capitalize on them. So I just raised my prices and work half as much. Done. (Good Luck)
What caught me in your videos is your humble personality besides your great professional experience.. So I can stop watching your awesome missions. May god bless you :).
I wish i lived in california, but currently im in spain, what you do, fixing and repairing stuff, i do as a hobby, i am really pasionate about it, and i've made some good profit on that. Hope you get someone good togo work for you, grats on being successful.
For starters, try to organise a video editor asistant, and e commercerce assistant, and suspend expadited repair for now, then resume it later on when pending repairs are done, by the way i like the way the bizz has evolved from 2020 up to date keep it going im very inspired
Quality of life is better in lots of places outside the US and Canada. I used to make around $5,000 per month in Toronto and I was struggling to survive. I moved to Taiwan and make less than that, but I have bought a new car, renovated my condo here, traveled extensively throughout the region, and saved money. Life is WAY better for me now.
It's getting harder and harder to find good people to work in all areas, im sorry to hear that you have the same issue. I'm just a hobbyist not a professional in your area of expertise, I really enjoy watching your videos and I appreciate people like you. Keep your head high. All the best to you and your family friend. Cristian, Ireland
I'm 19, and I've been working at a local repair shop in Ohio since late 2020. I've basically turned the place around and have also been nonstop practicing and teaching myself micro-soldering. I plan on taking the iPad Rehab course here soon to get a boost on my skills and then go on and start my own shop and run it the way I think it should be run. Some of these devices like game consoles can potentially take all day to troubleshoot, take apart, fix, clean, and reassemble, I need to teach the other people at my shop on how to troubleshoot and disassemble consoles then if it's a board issue they can just hand me the board. quoting is also a massive issue because if you hand me a device that has X issue this shit takes time and some people just don't understand that, especially if you have to order shit from china or if a part just doesn't exist yet. it's a stressful and demanding industry but goddamn the feeling of making a broken device pristine again is addicting.
I'd love to come in and be able to intern under you. I just bought $500 worth of tools to start repairing and selling consoles but could use some professional guidance as I've been failing to replace a HDMI connector, but I can't give up. At the very least this video confirms to me that I'm on a decent career path to take care of my daughter. May God forever bless you for the work you do for others, your videos will be why I get this business off the ground.
Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us. Your videos are genuinely educational and undoubtedly have helped countless people over the years. God's blessings to you and your family. May the Lord strengthen you day by day to carry on with your work so that you will continue be successful in all your endeavours. Your desire to create and offer training courses will certainly bring you great success. Blessings.

Freedom for me meant hiring more employees and raising prices. I always struggled with this because I’m the one with the knowledge and I know anyone else will make more mistakes than me. In the end though, the right people learn from their mistakes and get better, and over time you gain some freedom back. It’s not free from headaches. You will end up hiring someone bad, someone who steals from you, someone who cuts corners It’s really hard to do if your margins are slim. I’ve been in business for almost 13 years now and I didn’t hire my first employee till I was 5 years in working constantly. Another huge thing for me is I outsource payroll and bookkeeping, and more recently, invoicing and compliance/insurance etc. Basically my job now is to find customers and orchestrate employees/ jobs / supplies. Though I’m still tech support usually. I still work longer hours typically but not the 15 hour days I used to. I feel good and accomplished with a 8-12 hour day of work now, and I can focus my efforts where I’m best- securing contracts. Someday I hope to hire tech support and sales, but not quite there yet
As'salamu'alaykum ya'akhi! I didn't know you were an Arab...or that's the notion I got after hearing you speak in Arabic ;) My dad used to say; "if you're good at what you do, news will travel through the air and you end up with visitors from across the world". With that in mind, I suspect all the grey hairs on your head and face are the result of battling silly people who think they own you or terrible people in the repair industry. From what you've sounded throughout the videos, you seem like someone who takes great care of your folks, which is how it should be, subhan'Allah I pray that you do get some helping hands in your shop and that you're able to remove all that stress that you've been carrying over your shoulders! Just a viewer + well wisher subbed to your channel from a long time back.
I would love to learn your skills. That's why i watch your channel. I have been troubleshooting and repairing devices for 23 years but not advanced soldering or mb troubleshooting with a multimeter which i would love to expand to. Looking forward to your videos
For e-commerce i think a basic idea would be to hire someone that will only manage the online end of it. The new employee would receive an item from you or your father along with an information slip containing information relevant to the sale of it and other things he needs to know about how he will make the listing for this item. The employee will then Photograph the item, create a listing using the info slip, and manage the sale. When a sale is made you can either have the employee manage the packaging and shipping, or hand the sale and shipping information off to another employee for packaging and shipping. So all in all you hire 1 new employee for a low skill job, create and fill out an information form, and e-commerce is almost out of your hands completely. and as a small business, when its slow or 4 o clock on a friday or whatever you can teach repair to that employee or maybe other office tasks that they can perform.
Well, if I lived close to you I definitely would have approached you for work. WAY too far away though. Hope you figure out a system that works out for you that allows for more personal time. You're doing an awesome job man, keep up the good work!
A solution for the short-term may be to hire somebody for E-commerce, to lighten the work load and also free up more of your time for training and repairs. Obviously you need competent workers, but that is a less skilled position and will be easier to fill for the short-term. I wish you luck, I very much so admire the skillful work you do, along with your many words of wisdom.
Most people think that a successful business is one that makes profit. At first I did everything and it took me many years to get to the point of being comfortable money wise. It was only at that point I realised that money didn’t make me happy. The years following on from that I had to narrow down what my business does to make it easier to train people to do my job. Now I get the enjoyment of not only seeing my employees thrive, get their first car, buy their first house but I also get time to enjoy my hobbies. But the journey from there to here was not an easy one. Others are right, if you narrow down what you fix and become a specialist in a specific area it is far easier to train staff.
most everybody watches your videos to learn, learning through watching somebody actually do the job is hugly valuable in the learning process. I dont think your videos should change but maybe just point us in some pre approved less hands on training resources so we can round out the knowledge base. ❤❤❤❤
if expedited service is requested to much? make it more expensive. like 200 dollar more time for you :) regarding the training, use online course and offline, and voila you are done. and really outsource the ecommerce, fullfilll it somewhere yes you make less money but more freedom, and no hassle :)
I live in scotland and I see you posting videos early in the morning here and I wondered surely Alex cant still be working at this time. I wish I could help but I live thousands of miles away
You are truly inspirational. Your work ethic and family love is unbelievable. Its a pity I live in the UK as I would happily work for you. Keep the videos coming as I look forward to watching them every day. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
First thing i think you should do is raise the price of expediting immediately. you can set a percentage of expedited orders goal that fits your workflow and schedule. do you want aprox 25% of your overall orders to be expedited? maybe more or less to create a healthy ammount of expedited orders in relation to your regular timed orders. you can do this by changing the price of the expedited orders until you find a price point that will make your schedule sustainable.
It’s called victim of your own success. If you don’t want to retire, stop repairs, train others and hire the good ones, difficult and simple at the same time. You can hire people for e-commerce as well for TH-cam filming, editing and uploading. If you want to retire and teach at your leisure, sell the business. If you want to continue, prepare yourself to be a manager, expansion means less freedom. Tips from one Lebanese guy to another 😉. But don’t forget: this is a luxury problem, do what you really want to do. If you decide to retire or take a vacation, pass by Holland, you’re welcome for hummus, tabbouleh and a hug for your generous video’s. Even though I’m not an electronics engineer, I’ve learnt a lot from you.
Go to your local high school. Offer to set them up work stations with your microscopes and hot air and flux. Offer internships for top students. Hire them if they rock and are interested. I stopped doing electrical after getting shocked by TV's - reel to reel tape recorders - etc. Yeah, it was a while ago.
Hi Alex I see your predicament. If it was me I would limit what you accept to streamline things, shut off accepting anything till you catch up, hire an outside person to help your dad or replace him if he moves, and a s not available. Then start the repair school and open up taking in specific repairs that compliment the educational side of your business. This will actually help you stay on top of things as you could technically be working on several repairs at the same time. Then you will find a tech who is talented to hire. The s will enable you to teach more and eventually build the business into something where you have more time. And techs who can do the job. Then you could open franchise businesses offered to the students who follow your business model and are qualified thus spreading the needs of students and customers together. Just some thoughts . I have run my own business so trust me I get it. Thanks for all you do Ron
Sir I am the right person you are looking for. I can do repair jobs and e commerce job. I am all rounder but the problem is i am from India and am ready to come there with your support. I will be glad to help you. If you choose me sir am telling you you will get the freedom ☺️
You can do an online course and give priority to the locals, I'm from Mexico but i'd like to learn, I think there's a lot people out of California that want to learn how to fix electronics.
Now that I think about it. Training and passing your knowledge to people that love to repair like you do is great way. If you have income from investments and other things then maybe you can limit the repairs you do in a week or a month and focus on Training.
i'm starting to learn how to do component replacement, i do a lot of computer repairs, but i have no idea where i can learn to do what you do. i watch your video a lot and so as Louis Rossman. i usually do a lot of Part replacement, like if the mother board is gone? i just replace the motherboard, but would love to learn how to do Component replacement and understanding why it failed and do a proper diagnostics so i can replace parts properly without guessing the part(s) that failed. to bad you are in California as i live in Canada i would work for you as i truly enjoy fixing electronics. Anyway, best of luck and keep on the good work. =)
Is there any way you can make a training course on how to repair even if its a paod course, because now days there is no college cpurses based on motherboard repair and soldering.
It should be easy to find someone to do the packaging of orders for you. So you have more time to work on repairs. If you have to many items just try to plan longer for each repair and like make a planning based on that. If u do it quicker u can then proceed with items from the next day or just take the rest of the day off for yourself. So far nice video’s and doing a great job! Also on some items you can’t fix right away, it’s nice to see ur efforts.
Worked in IT for 10 years and setup my own repair/IT support business 12 months ago this month :) Would love to learn more about the motherboard/pcb repairs.
As a Bricklayer in Canada it is hard to get a skilled laborer for the masonry business and I was so busy that I could not find time to train anyone as I am working at the same time. I had to change my way of thinking, I took on three guys and took a full week to get them up to speed on duties and the flow of the job. I offered a solid wage right from the go and have not regretted it as I was able to hire two masons to increase productivity and cut back on how much I worked. I took a short term loss for a long term gain and at 52 I needed more family time and enjoy life more. The services you offer are very high skilled required for sure but I bet with a bit of your guidance you could have a couple of individuals up to your standards in no time, hell I have learned a fair bit from watching your videos and I could just imagine how quickly you could get someone with a electronics background up to snuff.
Take a break from TH-cam. Stop all recording, editing and uploading till you back up to date. Focus on what is on hand in the shop. It's awesome that you have such a high volume of actual work that has come in. Keep it up.
The solution to the training seems really simple to me.. record the training and sell it on your website! Produce documents that also teach the knowledge you want to pass on etc.
Car electronics are complicated devices, and it is not an easy job to diagnose & repair without specific software, testers etc. and you need different software and testers for almost every different car :) in many cases after a successful repair you can't just install repaired device in the car, it needs to be paired with other electronics and with the main ECU. For example, when I changed a chip in my EWS it was needed to pair it with the ECU, then to reprogram the key... for BMW this can be done with INPA, for Mercedes - with Xentry, for VW with VCDS etc.... so I perfect understand why you doesn't want to work on car electronics. Customer thinks this is "just a device, you will change one IC and done" :)
i would suggest to make tutorials and education videos because it is hard find some in youtube. Then hopefully the repair business will grow more. I think people start to appreciate circular economy more and try keep the things longer. I dont believe on "throw things and buy new" as it is harder to reuse rare metals and the resources will be limited. I think doing education youtube is doing a good favor for the world. Special tailored education sounds good but very limited due time and energy constraint. Best luck with that!
How honored you must feel to have a father to look after your eCommerce and for the price of "only helping his son to succeed in his business". I know you appreciate all he does, because you speak of it often in your videos. Money is obviously not his motivating force. Always make him feel appreciated, because he truly loves his you. This is also good your your father, because he has such a good reason to keep moving, it helps with longevity. Benefits all the way around. I enjoy all of your videos. I actually look for each upload. You have a great demeanor. I love your matter of fact, no nonsense style. Refreshing. Mel - Greetings from Ontario Canada.
Are you near any community colleges, trade schools or colleges with electronics or electrical engineering programs that you could partner with for interns or to teach at? Many specialized professions have to grow their own custom talent. You could be drawing a part time salary as an instructor and hiring the best of the best. Try visiting career fairs to find the talent you need at the most appropriate places.
Maybe you should train poeple and hire the ones that you find are good enough for your working standards, i konw it'll take alot of time but it'll at least keep your business going and with some time you can even expend more
100%
Exactly what i was going to type
i was going to say the same. step one: class. pick the ones u like. step two: training on site. still they pay u to keep training them. step three: hiring. rinse and repeat. step four. training online for the ones that r not in the U.S. like me.
The problem is, at that moment, your stuff has equal skills, they will do their own business.
No need for a boss and more money.
I do electronic repairs here in europe for my kids, family, friends. Sometimes I sell repaired stuff.
I often think about the time after my time at university. I want to be self employed but as a repair guy there is only a small chance to grew a bigger business than a one man show. And that's the problem.
You can hire people for paperwork or for a webshop ( in the case of northridge) but the actual work stays on your table.
yes!
Training is desperately needed in the repair industry. I'd love to see you start training people to learn your skills. Also, make the changes that need to be made. You're no good to anyone if you're burned out.

I tried to do everything myself from 2008-2011. I burned out bigtime. My supply company went from selling 900-1200 parts a day to being in massive debt and crashing completely, and my repair business moved to a store with me as the only technician. I didn't mentally recover until mid 2013/early 2014.
The problem I had with letting business grow too fast was that while I was working to put out all the fires, I eventually looked over something that wound up biting me in the ass & losing me all the money I made from the business growing. Looking back, it wasn't the work necessarily that was responsible for when I made or lost a large amount of money, it was a decision. A good decision I made, or a bad decision I made, that cost me or made me six figures here and there. I now value having a clear enough head to make good decisions, If I could go back in time and talk to 19 yr old me.
Some of the stuff like where do I find X chip, how to automate ecommerce with specialized items so a shipping clerk who has no idea what any of this are took me a while to put together. but I am now at a point where I have someone who knows nothing about this business doing it well. If you ever want to go over what can be done to make this easier I'm happy to help and provide tips and what I learned from all my past failures. You probably have this figured out by now though. Going from 2-3 employees up to 12-14 while not losing the reputation/reviews we were known for was very difficult for me. But now I am at a point where I can say that for each individual job, my employee can do it better than me. not that that is setting a very high bar... but it is what most business owners strive for. I can give a board to Paul or Chris and know it'll be fixed better and faster than me. I can give a 1 star review to Kevin or Steve and know they will turn it into a 5 star faster than me. I can give a screen repair to Tagir or Olga and know they will do it with a lower chance of getting dust between the backlight layer & the polarizer than me... and that's a beautiful thing.
The one mistake I made was moving to a place 3x the price in NYC at the worst possible time, but that is something I am working towards fixing.
Best of luck. Don't let yourself burn out! It is never too late to change strategy... everytime someone throws in the towel and says F it, all of their knowledge, skill, ideas, etc. is lost forever.
Very well said Louis, I follow both of you, I found here a lot of stuff to learn 😊
I haven't figured out the whole equation yet, but I'm making progress choosing priorities and smoothly transitioning into the next phase. I appreciate the offer to talk. I'll definitely reach out if I need your help.
Mr Rossmann is a giver of all givers, which means he will always have. Rain or shine, and game recognizes game, which means Alex is a giver too.. so blessings will follow too

USA is happy to have you
A couple of things.
1. Hire people that can work on your stuff but are not necessarily near you. I know a guy who is an excellent troubleshooter, and can micro solder, but he lives in Florida. I am sure he is not the only one who is like this. Send them the jobs that are not expedited to start off and see how they work out, later you can send them the expedited stuff to repair if they do work out. If after six months they work out, send them the equipemt you use to set up a shop and they are now a satellite office for you. Like McDonalds, a franchise, sort of.
2. Make a set of video classes that go through the fundamentals of what you do. Charge for those classes, and give the students a Northridge Certification after they complete the videos. Charge $499.00 for the video training.
3. Those who have completed the videos will then be invited for an inhouse set of on-site training classes. You offer that training four times a year and the class size of fifty. I have given classes on data recovery and you can easily train fifty people if you have two doing the training. Set up an entire package with airfare, hotels, food, and make it a three - five day event. We would charge $3000.00 for a three day even and everything was included, you could easily charge $5000.00 per person with fifty people that is $250,000.00. The airfare, room, and food would be about forty percent of that, the rest is profit.
4. Hire a warehouse guy to do all of your shipping. You said you are making all kinds of money, then rent a warehouse, stock it and put someone in charge of that. Then they can hire people to fill your orders, liker a mini Amazon.
5. Finally, for those who have finished the video and onsite training allow them to franchise your business model. Charge them $50,000.00 for the franchise and you will share in the profits of their business. Send your franchise people your overflow, teach them your marketing, etc, etc.
You are on the cusp of something great here my friend. You could be the Jeff Bezos of board repair and service. Don't let success bury you, let it make you greater than you already are.
Godd luck.
Great advice man!
Great advice. He should definitely focus on point 4 asap so he can focus on the others.
If Jeff bezos was in this industry he would destroy family repair shops.
The good news is that component board troubleshooting and repair requires a lot of knowledge AND years of experience through suffering. Many can try, only a few will become good. This high bar disqualifies many and allows the industry to survive.
ماشاء الله.. ربي يزيد ويبارك لك يا صديقي .. تستحق ان تكون قدوة للأجيال لأنك مساهم في تحسين عقليات الناس وخصوصا العالم العربي ... شكرا جزيلا
الحمد لله
You're doing the training right here on TH-cam. If someone is serious about learning and working with you, the first step is watching 100% of your TH-cam videos. This is the only feasible way to train that many people.
Thanks!
I am now retired. I owned a succeful brown goods repair business for almost 40 years. I spent so much time with my business I lost may family and my home and had to start again. It is true, a business takes too much from a person.
I was the one who had to repair the items no one else could, usually in an evening or over the weekend. I had deadlines to meet and worked on Christmas days as well to ensure my customers did not get let down.
My children said, "If it goes wrong, I will buy another one" and did not want to carry on the business. A real shame.
I now spend just 3 hours a day in my workshop, repairing things that no one else can repair, living on my own but I have many good friends.
You are young enough to enjoy life as well as your business. Don't let it take over your life and enjoy your family. You only get one chance!
Take care.
I really love your contribution and and the advice. I have also retired but only works on critical jobs .
Wow, thank you.
Such a great advice thanks
Definitely raise your prices.
You could also suspend orders for say 2 weeks, to work on the backlog.
Everybody will understand, and you can stop the pile of work from growing.
All the best!
We appreciate you, thank you for your time and wisdom.
Wow. You were saying Alhamdulillah. That's so beautiful.
Hi Alex, I've been watching your videos for a long time!! However don't comment very often I'm sorry. Your work ethic is incredible. You point out you've made enough money to last your life time which is incredible!! I love your videos and the day they stop will be a sad day!! That being said I go by the motto "work to live not live to work" I hope you find someone who can take over the day to day running of your shop so you can move forward, plan your training sessions around your life not your life around the training sessions.

A few recommendations from helping my parents in their businesses. 1. A drop list menu for items that can be fixed on the site would really help reduce the amount of items that are being sent over to you that you just don't fix at all 2. place a hault for mail ins until everything is finally under control. 3. once everything is under control, hire individulas that are experienced in different areas for repairs and only train as neeed. once the new hires are set, I strongly believe that you will have some time time to train classes a few times a week for an hour or so for those who want to learn. or tune up their skills. hope these tips help.
This Channel along with Louis Rossman's Channel gives me the inspiration to also one day try and jump into electronic repair. I think advanced repairs like the ones seen on this channel will have a strong future with the new onset of chip manufacture. Had I of been closer to California, I would have liked to try and learn some more of the repairs at that store, but I don't think I'd have the experience to diagnose repair half of the stuff that goes into the store. It's a skill that really takes some brainpower and knowledge set to really become experienced in.
well im glad this guy gets paid good for all the hard work he does.
incredible dedication to your job sir. truly inspiring
I see lots of people commenting that training others will result in competition, or the people you train starting their own shop. I believe these comments are from people who do not run businesses... Operating a business involves a lot more than being able to do a repair, and very few people do it successfully. Many people much prefer to have a pay rate they can rely on and are happy to work for someone else. The few that do have what it takes to start their own shop, are welcome additions to help spread the workload.
Think about how many restaurants, hair salons, coffee shops, churches are in your town/city... There are plenty of people to support all these places, and 99% of those people have electronic devices, and the nature of those devices is that they break.
It our (repair shop owners) reasonability to make repairing a device as economical as possible, and an enjoyable experience for everyone we can, so that repair, instead of replace, becomes the norm again.
Training only results to better serve the community, the environment, and yourself/your family.
If I were in your position I would probably restrict mail-ins for a short time to get through the backlog. Eliminate expedited, if someone requests expedited service, take it case by case based on your workload, and charge accordingly.
Prioritize local training in order to hire from your training pool, once you hire, expand training for others to travel in for training.
Ma sha Allah brother you are real gentle and honest men
أولا الله يوفقك

I ordered a uv light. It was shipped within a day for me and came a few days later. Excellent service! I'll be coming back for sure!
you are my inspiration, my mentor.. i will make a branch same on what you are doing in the Philippines. currently I am in Mexico working on a semiconductor factory as board technician. Truly salute on what you are doing, especially the honesty. more power and god bless
Thank you for what you do. I don't always comment on people videos but yours deserves my attention. I like your sincerity, humility, honesty, sense of humor and work ethic. Too bad, I am not local. If you were, I would be pleased with you. I like techs and I do it on a regular basis but not not as much as you do. You are not the first person I started watching tech videos but when I came your Chanel I was hooked. I learned a lot just by watching your videos. I also appreciate you don't use cursed words in your videos because the respect you show towards your audience. That's commendable! Keep up the good work!
You’re amazing and you’re my idol now I’d love to learn more and more each day from you. Your training is a must! God bless
This is very true but I believe you will find a way to overcome it. Looking forward to seeing what you do and always enjoy your videos and learning from them. All the best Alex. Thank you so much. 👍
I respect you and what you do. You're a role model in the industry. They're are too many parts swappers and not enough microsolderers. You want freedom, make a test for them to pass and have them work for you for 3 months then send them off to soldering school but you pay 1/2 so they need to prove themselves if they do it. I am a business owner and I get it. I'm trying to learn microsoldering myself. We have 28 repair shops but one microsolderer in the big city. Trust me, it's too many shop and not enough devices. We have cleaned up other shops messes before.
Soooooo.
You have reached the point where many of us self employed get stuck. I’m a Plumber in Florida and have trained several people over the years, to just see them take their training somewhere else before I am able to capitalize on them. So I just raised my prices and work half as much. Done.
(Good Luck)
Just by watching you identify the faulty parts and fix we can learn many things... Keep up the good work sir.
What caught me in your videos is your humble personality besides your great professional experience.. So I can stop watching your awesome missions. May god bless you :).
I wish i lived in california, but currently im in spain, what you do, fixing and repairing stuff, i do as a hobby, i am really pasionate about it, and i've made some good profit on that. Hope you get someone good togo work for you, grats on being successful.
Wish you all the best and god bless you and you family
For starters, try to organise a video editor asistant, and e commercerce assistant, and suspend expadited repair for now, then resume it later on when pending repairs are done, by the way i like the way the bizz has evolved from 2020 up to date keep it going im very inspired
Quality of life is better in lots of places outside the US and Canada.
I used to make around $5,000 per month in Toronto and I was struggling to survive.
I moved to Taiwan and make less than that, but I have bought a new car, renovated my condo here,
traveled extensively throughout the region, and saved money. Life is WAY better for me now.
It's getting harder and harder to find good people to work in all areas, im sorry to hear that you have the same issue. I'm just a hobbyist not a professional in your area of expertise, I really enjoy watching your videos and I appreciate people like you. Keep your head high. All the best to you and your family friend.
Cristian, Ireland
I'm 19, and I've been working at a local repair shop in Ohio since late 2020. I've basically turned the place around and have also been nonstop practicing and teaching myself micro-soldering. I plan on taking the iPad Rehab course here soon to get a boost on my skills and then go on and start my own shop and run it the way I think it should be run. Some of these devices like game consoles can potentially take all day to troubleshoot, take apart, fix, clean, and reassemble, I need to teach the other people at my shop on how to troubleshoot and disassemble consoles then if it's a board issue they can just hand me the board. quoting is also a massive issue because if you hand me a device that has X issue this shit takes time and some people just don't understand that, especially if you have to order shit from china or if a part just doesn't exist yet.
it's a stressful and demanding industry but goddamn the feeling of making a broken device pristine again is addicting.
I'd love to come in and be able to intern under you. I just bought $500 worth of tools to start repairing and selling consoles but could use some professional guidance as I've been failing to replace a HDMI connector, but I can't give up. At the very least this video confirms to me that I'm on a decent career path to take care of my daughter. May God forever bless you for the work you do for others, your videos will be why I get this business off the ground.
Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us. Your videos are genuinely educational and undoubtedly have helped countless people over the years. God's blessings to you and your family. May the Lord strengthen you day by day to carry on with your work so that you will continue be successful in all your endeavours. Your desire to create and offer training courses will certainly bring you great success. Blessings.

Freedom for me meant hiring more employees and raising prices.
I always struggled with this because I’m the one with the knowledge and I know anyone else will make more mistakes than me.
In the end though, the right people learn from their mistakes and get better, and over time you gain some freedom back.
It’s not free from headaches. You will end up hiring someone bad, someone who steals from you, someone who cuts corners
It’s really hard to do if your margins are slim.
I’ve been in business for almost 13 years now and I didn’t hire my first employee till I was 5 years in working constantly.
Another huge thing for me is I outsource payroll and bookkeeping, and more recently, invoicing and compliance/insurance etc.
Basically my job now is to find customers and orchestrate employees/ jobs / supplies. Though I’m still tech support usually.
I still work longer hours typically but not the 15 hour days I used to. I feel good and accomplished with a 8-12 hour day of work now, and I can focus my efforts where I’m best- securing contracts. Someday I hope to hire tech support and sales, but not quite there yet
Thanks to upload this on my birthday May 26, same side here talking about job ,thanks for share your knowledge!
As'salamu'alaykum ya'akhi! I didn't know you were an Arab...or that's the notion I got after hearing you speak in Arabic ;)
My dad used to say; "if you're good at what you do, news will travel through the air and you end up with visitors from across the world". With that in mind, I suspect all the grey hairs on your head and face are the result of battling silly people who think they own you or terrible people in the repair industry. From what you've sounded throughout the videos, you seem like someone who takes great care of your folks, which is how it should be, subhan'Allah
I pray that you do get some helping hands in your shop and that you're able to remove all that stress that you've been carrying over your shoulders!
Just a viewer + well wisher subbed to your channel from a long time back.
I would love to learn your skills. That's why i watch your channel. I have been troubleshooting and repairing devices for 23 years but not advanced soldering or mb troubleshooting with a multimeter which i would love to expand to. Looking forward to your videos
والله سعدت لما علمت انك عربي يا اخي انا من الجزائر كل التحية لك اخي الكريم
For e-commerce i think a basic idea would be to hire someone that will only manage the online end of it. The new employee would receive an item from you or your father along with an information slip containing information relevant to the sale of it and other things he needs to know about how he will make the listing for this item. The employee will then Photograph the item, create a listing using the info slip, and manage the sale. When a sale is made you can either have the employee manage the packaging and shipping, or hand the sale and shipping information off to another employee for packaging and shipping. So all in all you hire 1 new employee for a low skill job, create and fill out an information form, and e-commerce is almost out of your hands completely. and as a small business, when its slow or 4 o clock on a friday or whatever you can teach repair to that employee or maybe other office tasks that they can perform.
If I would live around your shop, I defintely would apply!
my fav youtube channel
Hello, allex
I enjoy watching your videos..i have learnt a lot from them..ure the best. Keep up the good work..greetings from suriname(south america)
Well, if I lived close to you I definitely would have approached you for work. WAY too far away though. Hope you figure out a system that works out for you that allows for more personal time. You're doing an awesome job man, keep up the good work!
A solution for the short-term may be to hire somebody for E-commerce, to lighten the work load and also free up more of your time for training and repairs. Obviously you need competent workers, but that is a less skilled position and will be easier to fill for the short-term. I wish you luck, I very much so admire the skillful work you do, along with your many words of wisdom.
Most people think that a successful business is one that makes profit. At first I did everything and it took me many years to get to the point of being comfortable money wise. It was only at that point I realised that money didn’t make me happy. The years following on from that I had to narrow down what my business does to make it easier to train people to do my job. Now I get the enjoyment of not only seeing my employees thrive, get their first car, buy their first house but I also get time to enjoy my hobbies. But the journey from there to here was not an easy one. Others are right, if you narrow down what you fix and become a specialist in a specific area it is far easier to train staff.
Beautiful packaging 👍👍.
الله يعينك ويوفقك ويعطيك العافيه ❤️
I can do almost everything you need. I don’t have any experience with video cards. Unfortunately I live in Missouri.
Good idea on passing the knowledge down
Love your channel learn new things evey video uploaded thank you
most everybody watches your videos to learn, learning through watching somebody actually do the job is hugly valuable in the learning process. I dont think your videos should change but maybe just point us in some pre approved less hands on training resources so we can round out the knowledge base. ❤❤❤❤
if expedited service is requested to much? make it more expensive. like 200 dollar more time for you :) regarding the training, use online course and offline, and voila you are done. and really outsource the ecommerce, fullfilll it somewhere yes you make less money but more freedom, and no hassle :)
I live in scotland and I see you posting videos early in the morning here and I wondered surely Alex cant still be working at this time. I wish I could help but I live thousands of miles away
You are truly inspirational. Your work ethic and family love is unbelievable. Its a pity I live in the UK as I would happily work for you. Keep the videos coming as I look forward to watching them every day. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
سلام عليكم... Nice to hear you speaking arabic
Family comes first! 👍
First thing i think you should do is raise the price of expediting immediately. you can set a percentage of expedited orders goal that fits your workflow and schedule. do you want aprox 25% of your overall orders to be expedited? maybe more or less to create a healthy ammount of expedited orders in relation to your regular timed orders. you can do this by changing the price of the expedited orders until you find a price point that will make your schedule sustainable.
It’s called victim of your own success. If you don’t want to retire, stop repairs, train others and hire the good ones, difficult and simple at the same time. You can hire people for e-commerce as well for TH-cam filming, editing and uploading. If you want to retire and teach at your leisure, sell the business. If you want to continue, prepare yourself to be a manager, expansion means less freedom. Tips from one Lebanese guy to another 😉. But don’t forget: this is a luxury problem, do what you really want to do. If you decide to retire or take a vacation, pass by Holland, you’re welcome for hummus, tabbouleh and a hug for your generous video’s. Even though I’m not an electronics engineer, I’ve learnt a lot from you.
seems like you need a vacation also, you surely deserve it your a hard working guy
Keep going!
You're the man!
Good Story and thanks for sharing
Go to your local high school. Offer to set them up work stations with your microscopes and hot air and flux. Offer internships for top students. Hire them if they rock and are interested. I stopped doing electrical after getting shocked by TV's - reel to reel tape recorders - etc. Yeah, it was a while ago.
Hi Alex I see your predicament. If it was me I would limit what you accept to streamline things, shut off accepting anything till you catch up, hire an outside person to help your dad or replace him if he moves, and a s not available. Then start the repair school and open up taking in specific repairs that compliment the educational side of your business. This will actually help you stay on top of things as you could technically be working on several repairs at the same time. Then you will find a tech who is talented to hire. The s will enable you to teach more and eventually build the business into something where you have more time. And techs who can do the job. Then you could open franchise businesses offered to the students who follow your business model and are qualified thus spreading the needs of students and customers together. Just some thoughts . I have run my own business so trust me I get it. Thanks for all you do Ron
Sir I am the right person you are looking for. I can do repair jobs and e commerce job. I am all rounder but the problem is i am from India and am ready to come there with your support. I will be glad to help you. If you choose me sir am telling you you will get the freedom ☺️
1:52 True.
Not every job is for everyone.
You are a repair man, not an eCommerce man
I'm from Colombia, i live in Medellín; you should take a break and come visit Some Time.
You can do an online course and give priority to the locals, I'm from Mexico but i'd like to learn, I think there's a lot people out of California that want to learn how to fix electronics.
Now that I think about it. Training and passing your knowledge to people that love to repair like you do is great way. If you have income from investments and other things then maybe you can limit the repairs you do in a week or a month and focus on Training.
i'm starting to learn how to do component replacement, i do a lot of computer repairs, but i have no idea where i can learn to do what you do. i watch your video a lot and so as Louis Rossman. i usually do a lot of Part replacement, like if the mother board is gone? i just replace the motherboard, but would love to learn how to do Component replacement and understanding why it failed and do a proper diagnostics so i can replace parts properly without guessing the part(s) that failed. to bad you are in California as i live in Canada i would work for you as i truly enjoy fixing electronics. Anyway, best of luck and keep on the good work. =)
good luck my friend
Love, From Paskitan
ماشاء الله عليك انا من متابعيك اعمل بصيانه التلفون واللابتوب محتوه تعليمك وشرحك كثير رائع جزاك الله كل خير واتمنى لك كل الخير
Is there any way you can make a training course on how to repair even if its a paod course, because now days there is no college cpurses based on motherboard repair and soldering.
It should be easy to find someone to do the packaging of orders for you. So you have more time to work on repairs.
If you have to many items just try to plan longer for each repair and like make a planning based on that.
If u do it quicker u can then proceed with items from the next day or just take the rest of the day off for yourself.
So far nice video’s and doing a great job! Also on some items you can’t fix right away, it’s nice to see ur efforts.
Worked in IT for 10 years and setup my own repair/IT support business 12 months ago this month :) Would love to learn more about the motherboard/pcb repairs.
As a Bricklayer in Canada it is hard to get a skilled laborer for the masonry business and I was so busy that I could not find time to train anyone as I am working at the same time. I had to change my way of thinking, I took on three guys and took a full week to get them up to speed on duties and the flow of the job. I offered a solid wage right from the go and have not regretted it as I was able to hire two masons to increase productivity and cut back on how much I worked. I took a short term loss for a long term gain and at 52 I needed more family time and enjoy life more.
The services you offer are very high skilled required for sure but I bet with a bit of your guidance you could have a couple of individuals up to your standards in no time, hell I have learned a fair bit from watching your videos and I could just imagine how quickly you could get someone with a electronics background up to snuff.
E-commerce doesn’t seem too bad at
All, but still a lot of work thanks for sharing your video 👍
Really difficult to maintain but u happy for parents I like it
Take a break from TH-cam. Stop all recording, editing and uploading till you back up to date. Focus on what is on hand in the shop. It's awesome that you have such a high volume of actual work that has come in. Keep it up.
The solution to the training seems really simple to me.. record the training and sell it on your website! Produce documents that also teach the knowledge you want to pass on etc.
Car electronics are complicated devices, and it is not an easy job to diagnose & repair without specific software, testers etc. and you need different software and testers for almost every different car :) in many cases after a successful repair you can't just install repaired device in the car, it needs to be paired with other electronics and with the main ECU.
For example, when I changed a chip in my EWS it was needed to pair it with the ECU, then to reprogram the key... for BMW this can be done with INPA, for Mercedes - with Xentry, for VW with VCDS etc.... so I perfect understand why you doesn't want to work on car electronics. Customer thinks this is "just a device, you will change one IC and done" :)

i would suggest to make tutorials and education videos because it is hard find some in youtube. Then hopefully the repair business will grow more.
I think people start to appreciate circular economy more and try keep the things longer. I dont believe on "throw things and buy new" as it is harder to reuse rare metals and the resources will be limited.
I think doing education youtube is doing a good favor for the world. Special tailored education sounds good but very limited due time and energy constraint.
Best luck with that!
How honored you must feel to have a father to look after your eCommerce and for the price of "only helping his son to succeed in his business". I know you appreciate all he does, because you speak of it often in your videos. Money is obviously not his motivating force. Always make him feel appreciated, because he truly loves his you. This is also good your your father, because he has such a good reason to keep moving, it helps with longevity. Benefits all the way around.
I enjoy all of your videos. I actually look for each upload. You have a great demeanor. I love your matter of fact, no nonsense style. Refreshing.
Mel - Greetings from Ontario Canada.
Alex, you have to do whatever makes you happy. You are an awesome professional and you deserve that election.
Are you near any community colleges, trade schools or colleges with electronics or electrical engineering programs that you could partner with for interns or to teach at? Many specialized professions have to grow their own custom talent. You could be drawing a part time salary as an instructor and hiring the best of the best. Try visiting career fairs to find the talent you need at the most appropriate places.
