📆 Join our Goal Setting Workshop with Brian Scudamore on Dec 12th
Brian Scudamore started as a young entrepreneur just like you. At 18, he needed some cash to afford life, so he:
- 🛻 picked up a $700 truck
- 🎨 painted his phone # on the side
- 💰 and started hauling junk around the city
It ended up taking him 8 years to make his first million and now today, his business group earns ~$1m on any given day with their thousands of staff and every metro city covered across North America.
One of the most valuable things Brian learned in his time as a founder is the power of building effective goals, or as he likes to call it, making a "painted picture". But when you hear the word paint, think less Bob Ross, and more business vision casting.
For instance, Brain used his "painted picture" to:
- 🎯 find his dream COO
- 🎯 score a spot on Oprah and Ellen's TV Show
- 🎯 and grow his brand and be established in every major metro city across North America and Australia
Not bad eh? And just last week we heard that Brian was kind enough to open up his own calendar to speak to our LOI community (aka you) to show you how he does it so you can repeat the process.
All you gotta do is show up and take notes. But there will be time for questions at the end as well.
If you're keen to set up some 2024 goals that truly move the dial smash that button below to secure your seat.
