332: The Junk Hauling Business: From $0 to $300 Million and Beyond
WTF man!?
Are you willing to fail!
Let that be your new mantra.
That's the rule Brian Scudamore -- the founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK -- lives by.
What started with a $1000 investment (Brian's life's savings at the time) has turned into a home services empire that does $1 million in sales on any given day.
Brian's come a long way since that beat-up pickup truck going door-to-door that first summer.
His portfolio now includes house painting, moving services, and home detailing--all under the umbrella of Ordinary 2 Exceptional Brands. He’s formulated some unique and effective ways to build teams of passionate employees that share his goals and has leveraged the franchise model to grow his businesses and revenue from $0 to $444 million and beyond.
Tune in to hear how Brian started the junk hauling business as a soon-to-be college student, his thoughts on marketing and hiring, and how you can apply nearly 30 years of his own successes and failures to your business.
