(ad) Turn your idea into a legitimate business - https://bit.ly/3VfgTZX Tommy Mello turned the heads of many when he beat the entrepreneurial odds and turned a one-man business with $50K in debt into a thriving venture. And now he has over 700 employees and a business about to cross the $220M revenue threshold across 22 states. Tommy was also named top entrepreneur in Arizona under the age of 35. Tommy grew up from humble beginnings as his parents worked three jobs in order to provide for him. As he became older, he took on the entrepreneurship mindset early as he wore different hats mowing lawns and shoveling snow. When he met his college roommate, however, his path took a turn when it was suggested to him to start painting garage doors. Eventually, this expanded into also fixing, installing, and ultimately owning A-1 Garage— the national leader in the garage door service and sales industry. In this episode, learn what it takes to become a garage door guru, how to scale a home service business, and tips for managing over 700 employees. 🔗 UpFlip Official Resources 🎓 Your guide to repairing homes and rebuilding profits - https://links.upflip.com/the-restore-blueprint-yt 🎓 Start or scale your business with the UpFlip Academy - https://links.upflip.com/academy-yt 📕 FREE access to ‘137 most profitable businesses’ - https://links.upflip.com/137-business-ideas-yt 🎙️ Follow the UpFlip Podcast - https://links.upflip.com/podcast-yt 📩 Join the UpFlip Newsletter - https://links.upflip.com/newsletter-yt 👉 Check out Tommy’s business - https://a1garage.com/ ⭐ Tools & Services We Recommend Best AI-Powered CRM 👉 https://www.upflip.com/go/go-high-level-crm Save $$ on your auto insurance bill 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/2YXbmn Best business checking accounts (FREE) 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/1YKrOV Looking for Business Loans? 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/LV233y Set up a Shopify Store for FREE 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/GWvVrk Set up Quickbooks for your business (DISCOUNT) 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/0rLCuX Stuck in debt? 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/yoXaZn Set up payroll with ADP 👉 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/HT5vef Timestamps: 00:00 - Start 01:06 - Headquarters 01:43 - Background 02:23 - Scale of operations 02:51 - Overhead expenses 04:14 - Funding the startup 05:08 - Not an overnight success 05:59 - Preparation is key 07:08 - The first number to master 08:10 - Fan blitz 10:24 - Revenue and margins 12:40 - Lessons from early mistakes 13:49 - Say no to hourly pay! 14:58 - Securing top-notch talent 15:55 - Secret to scaling (fast!) 16:32 - It’s all about training 17:06 - Advertising for maximum ROI 18:46 - Effective marketing on a budget 19:44 - Company culture 20:15 - Culture-building at scale 20:42 - Key figures you shouldn't forget 22:29 - Mockup garage 23:02 - Be “prescriptive” and start selling! 24:51 - Top-notch customer service 25:52 - Importance of mentorship 27:24 - Starting slow is a GOOD thing 28:36 - Managing a “family” business 29:13 - Book recommendations 30:16 - Leadership philosophy 31:21 - Money is NOT everything 32:07 - Defining success 32:44 - Embracing failure 33:18 - Quick story time 34:24 - Handling competition 35:44 - You ARE good enough! 37:53 - Outro #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs
