074: Raising Your Kids to be Entrepreneurs and to Live a Life of Abundance with Cameron Herold

In today's conversation, Cameron Herold and I talk about the impertinence of raising our kids to be entrepreneurs, why we should be hiring former convicts and much more. Cameron Herold is the mastermind behind the huge success of 1-800-GOT-JUNK and many other great business models. He knows a thing or two about building business and systems. And it all starts with the people.

Cameron Herold is known around the world as THE BUSINESS GROWTH GURU. He is the mastermind behind hundreds of companies’ exponential growth. Cameron has built a dynamic consultancy. His current clients include a ‘Big 4’ wireless carrier and a monarchy.

Cameron was an entrepreneur from day 1. At age 21, he had 14 employees. By 35, he’d help build his first TWO $100 MILLION DOLLAR companies. By the age of 42, Cameron engineered 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s spectacular growth from $2 Million to $106 Million in revenue, and 3100 employees, and he did that in just six years.
