Summary
At just 19 years old serial entrepreneur Brian Scudamore pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. Then he scaled that success into three more home-service brands.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. There's failure after failure after failure - but those failures become a stepping stone to a much better place in life.
2. The biggest mistake is thinking too big, in the sense that you get overwhelmed and you start thinking of the details when you just need to think of where are you going.
3. Think big, dream, put it out there in the universe, and then make day by day little mistakes - little failures towards making that dream a reality.
