Ep. 119 | From Zero to $350 Million with Brian Scudamore

The latest Academy guest is none other than Brian Scudamore —entrepreneur, visionary and owner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Brian's story of starting out with one truck and $700 to build a quarter billion empire (billion with a b) is nothing short of inspiring. What I love about Brian's message is how he's able to blend the principles of mindset, principles and living your best life into a business that most wouldn't consider "sexy" or "purpose driven." And that's perfect, because it details a point I've made before: you and I can live with purpose, even if the deliverable to the marketplace isn't our actual purpose. During this riveting, fun and passionate conversation, you're going to learn how Brian went from one idea, $700 and one truck to build an empire, how he had to fire 11 employees in one shot by trusting his gut —and so much more, including: Why success is all about the long game How to tap into the core purpose of your business The power of making meaning, not money Why reflection is as important as execution Why Brian fired his entire staff in one shot How to make tough, yet powerful decisions Why finding the right people is everything How to stay true to your core purpose and mission Why the comparison game will bring you down Crafting a powerful vision without getting lost on the "how" How to step into pure possibility of your future ...and so much more designed to help you get clear on your life and business and create the income, impact and influence you're here for. "Make meaning, not money." - Brian Scudamore "The greatest wealth has been the intellectual wealth, love and happiness." - Brian Scudamore "My private office became a hiding spot, because I didn't enjoy working with my people." - Brian Scudamore THE 1% RULE IS OUT ON AUDIOBOOK!
