Top 3 Value Bombs

1. You can't outthink an emotional issue. True healing requires emotional work, not just mental analysis.

2. Gambling lies to you. It tricks your brain into believing you're winning, while you're losing time, money, and peace.

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 them down. Then, talk to others about how to overcome those fears and worries.

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 the 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.
