Choose Scary - That's where magic happen...

John Lee Dumas Of Eofire
About this episode

Tom Scarda was able to semi-retire with his first franchise, then failed miserably in his second. The lessons learned from failure is what makes him such an inspiration.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Whatever you choose, your choices always come down to uncertainty, and unhappiness. Choose uncertainty.

2. There’s no way to get past fear. The only way is to embrace it and understand the ramification.

3. Don’t go into something that has zero market, unless you have lots of money and lots of time. Get into something where there’s a niche, but not something that has never been done before.
