Tommy Mello's Rollercoaster: From Debt and Alcoholism to a $50 Million Success

I think the biggest thing is learn from your mistakes and try not to make the same mistake twice. Failure to me is just: you tried it, you learned.
What do you get when you mix relentless energy, a knack for business, and a dash of ADHD? You get Tommy Mello. In this gripping episode of 'Never by the Book', host Kelly Schols sits down with Tommy Mello, the dynamic owner of A1 Garage Door Service. Tommy's journey is nothing short of extraordinary—he went from being $50,000 in debt and battling alcoholism to running a $50 million home service empire in just seven years.
But how did he do it? The secret lies in harnessing his ADHD as a superpower rather than a setback. Tommy shares candidly about the highs and lows of his journey, emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes, hiring people who complement your weaknesses, and fostering a strong company culture. He also touches on an often-overlooked aspect of business success: involving families. According to Tommy, 'Failure to me is just: you tried it, you learned'.
If you're looking for a story that combines grit, resilience, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
