Quamen, your very ambitious! You have to keep your goals realistic though. I agree, the sky is the limit, ask Bill Gates, Debbie Fields, Steve Job.
Most important is developing short term goals. If, on average, your making $1,000 a week, and you dont live in California, your probably doing ok! Seriously, if after 3 months, you have made 1k a week, 2 additional cars a week can advance your quarterly figures 20%. Consider adding additional help for remedial work like engines or wheels, windows, trim work, something that can expedite your main task surface prep or inetrior, and enable you to take on several cars a day. Of course clientel base is key here also.
Also consider adding your services to an existing facility, like the quick lube/oil change shops, and offer a percentage of profits etc.....
