Summary
Entrepreneur and author Brian Scudamore pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, turning a chore into an exceptional customer service experience. Then scaled that success into two more brands, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Tell yourself the fears and worries you have and write it down, then talk to others how to overcome those fears and worries. When you get some more data with people you trust and admire that have been successful in your mind, get some confidence to take a leap.
2. You don't need to be the idea guy. You don't need something original. You just need to be part of a winning team and be the leader and champion of that idea.
3. Determine what's best for you. Building something from scratch is pretty exciting. But a lot of people just want to win, and the shortcut for that is franchising.
