1-800-GOT-JUNK can you imagin wall
Notes From The Event
Shaun Frankson and David Katz from Nero Global Tracking were in attendance for the 1-800-GOT-CULTURE EO Vancouver event at the “Juntion” (1-800-GOT-JUNK’S Vancouver office.)
Some key notes from Brian Scudamore speech at the event included:
The power of the “can you imagine wall” was incredible. Many ‘dream ideas’ became a reality once they put them in writing, put it up on the wall for all to see, and figured out how to make them happen. Some success stories include getting featured on Oprah (they have done this a couple times now) and getting their name put on the side of a Starbucks Cup (they were put on 10 million cups for free, just by providing a great quote).
The painted picture vision of what 1-800-GOT-JUNK was working towards and believed they could achieve became a huge tool for recruiting. All new recruits must buy into the vision with enthusiasm, or else they just aren’t the right person for this kind of company.
Painted Picture for 1-800-GOT-JUNK
It took some time to develop the strong corporate culture you read about today. In fact at one point Brian had to completely restaff and hire only on culture fits.”I will never compromise on the quality of people.” A gut feeling on the wrong person is almost always correct. He learned the hard way that he needed to be “slow to hire, quick to fire”.
Brian discussed the amazing reward that came from working together as a team to help each other achieve their own personal bucket list. Each employee was tasked to write out 101 life goals in 20 minutes. They were challenged to share the list with everyone in the office, and hold each other accountable for achieving those goals.
1 800 GOT JUNK "It's all about people" Moto
Brian believes strongly that “It’s all about the people” and he really backs that up with his actions.
“You build a great company by building great people”
Great corporate values help you stay together and stay tight.
The 1-800-GOT-JUNK core values are an acronym of PIPE
Passion
Integrity
Professionalism
Empathy
“The Ultimate Leadership is Vision”
All quotes above were from the mouth of 1-800-GOT-JUNK founder Brian Scudamore.
I strongly recommend a tour of 1-800-GOT-JUNK in Vancouver. The office is nothing but motivating and inspiring.

GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems with Amazing Customer Service by Nero Global Tracking
Watch live video from Startup School on Justin.tv
Here is an interesting interview with Marc Zuckerberge (His portion is 44 minutes into the video). The basic theme of the questioning focuses on “What would you have done differently if you had a time machine and had to do it all again.”
Some of my favorite parts that came out of this are:
1. You have a million different things to do, but as long as the get the most important 2 or 3 done each day you’ll do fine.
2. Move fast enough that you make some mistakes, and slow enough that you don’t make some mistakes.
3. He corrected a couple of things that happened much differently than the Social Network movie showed.
A worth while 40 minutes from one of the most successful accidental billionaires.
Enjoy!

GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems with AMAZING Customer Service
Brand strategist Sasha Strauss, gave an awesome keynote at EO’s Alchemy 2011 in Los Angeles.
Had to be there to capture the whole thing but here are my bullet points from my main take aways
- Write your own brand story
- Nobody knows whats best for you. No one
- Measure yourself only by what matters to you
- You are only what you perceive yourself to be
- Be prepared. think of it all. Never leave anything to chance

GPS Vechicle Tracking Systems From Vancouver BC Canada
GPS fleet trackers can track the speed of your Porche
A GPS fleet tracker can be the perfect way to know when your mobile boss is stopping by the office.
Our company has a GPS fleet locating system and tracking device on every car, truck, and van, including the boss’s Porsche. This is perfect for getting around our dress code on a hot summer day. I set up a real time zone alert to send me a text message each time my boss enters or exits the office parking lot.
On hot days, this instant text message provides just enough time for me to comfortably start the day in summer friendly shorts and a t-shirt. At a moments notice I quickly put on my full black suit and look slick as can be as my boss enters the building.
Most days it only takes an hour or so, before I receive a second text message alerting me that the boss is back on the road and it’s once again safe for the suit to come off.
Cheers,
Shaun Frankson
