Mitch Schneider’s audiobook “Misfire: What to do when things aren’t running on all cylinders” released this month

Misfire: What to do when things aren’t running on all cylinders traces a small business owner’s journey from chaos and imminent failure to serenity and success via a highly unorthodox path. Misfire – the audiobook version with narration by David Kaye – is set to release June 2020 on Audible and iTunes. The paperback book originally 

released in September 2019. Releasing at a time when many are forced to “pivot” or “reinvent,” Misfire has never been more applicable to those experiencing or wanting to make a positive change in their professional or personal lives. 

Readers learn that the fictional character, Kurt Kerrigan’s contractor business isn’t running the way it’s supposed to, causing discord and stress at home. His journey begins when one of the few things he can depend on, his beloved Corvette, misfires -- leading him to the most unconventional of automotive repair shops and its Mr. Miyagi-like owner. 

“The life and business lessons within the pages of Misfire aren’t some kind of New Age mysticism,” Schneider said. “They are real-world solutions to problems small business owners confront daily.” Author Mitch Schneider understands this terrain. For nearly 40 years, he has been a recognized leader in the automotive service industry as an entrepreneur, trade journalist, and nationally sought speaker. He’s helped countless small business owners achieve success through his articles, speeches, videos, and textbooks. Misfire is the culmination of all his years of experience—a business novel and transformational self-help book. Misfire is filled with business lessons honed at the dojo that demonstrate how to bring patience, dedication, discipline, situational awareness, and good judgment to any business. Entrepreneurs will be able to identify what’s misfiring in their life and how to get things running on all cylinders again. 

By bringing these relatable themes to life through storytelling, Schneider proves that practicing martial arts, running a business, and enjoying a rich, fulfilling life can all be achieved through a life of discipline, determination, and continuous learning.

• Mindfulness: The practice of clearing your mind in order to be present.
