Creating a company that turns into the number one franchise in a country is a massive achievement. And, if after completing that, the same person hits a billion dollar valuation with another company, there must be a pattern.
And there definitely is. Putting the same work ethic into every project, keeping their head down, and waking up every morning deciding to improve as many people's lives as possible.
Joining me today is Sean Dollinger. He's a friend, and he's also the founder of PlantX, a plant-based ecommerce site and community that sells just about anything plant-based you could think of. We talk about his first job and the steps that took him to achieve massive success in the business world. He also shares his experience combining a successful business with being a family man and the values he teaches his children.
Sean is a serial entrepreneur who started his first delivery company at age 17 before it was mainstream. He launched his first public company in 2014, Namaste Technologies, and brought it to a billion dollar valuation in under 18 months. He also dedicated some time to advise public companies, with tremendous success, helping them double their numbers in just a few months.
Sean doesn't believe in luck; he believes in hard work and in creating the opportunities that will allow you to be lucky. He fees - rightly so - that customer service is crucial to success and that the best approach is through education and understanding.
Tune in and learn as much as you can from Sean's brilliant mind on creating successful businesses, and living the best possible life that you can.
