After losing his job of 21 years due to corporate downsizing, the author Dave Lehr knew he was in trouble. He lived in a very rural area. The economy was poor and there were no jobs to be had. He was middle aged with no formal education. With a mortgage to pay and mouths to feed, he turned to the only way he knew to make money—”parting out” junk classic cars on E-bay. Adversity created motivation. Motivation, work ethic, and a love of the hobby created a successful business.
