Health problems forced Frank Conley to look at other options for employment and that is when he determined to combine a pastime with a chance to make a living.
“I have chronic back problems which makes it hard to find work,” said Conley, “so I went through Vocational Rehab and decided to start my own business.”
Conley has always enjoyed working on lawn mowers and chainsaws so he decided to become a small engine mechanic. Frank’s Small Engine Repair & Service is open for business near Worth, 22626 HWY. N. He plans to work on lawn mowers, trimmers and chainsaws with the intention to sell them and stock parts in the near future. Conley thanks Northwest Missouri Enterprise Facilitation for helping him with his business plan and spreading the word of his new business.
“It has been a struggle getting everything up and running, but my greatest joy will be making a living for myself.”
