The Russell Brunson Show Building a Business That Doesn’t Need You: Lessons from Tommy Mello | #Success - Ep. 54
In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with Tommy Mello, the owner of A1 Garage Door Service, and we unpack how he built one of the most successful service businesses in the country.
We get into the nuts and bolts of how Tommy went from $50K in debt to running a company that does over $200 million a year and has 850+ employees. And more importantly, how he replaced himself, built a real leadership team, and trained technicians to deliver a great customer experience without needing him involved in every step.
If you’re running a business and feel stuck doing everything yourself, this episode will show you what needs to shift so your company can grow. It will help you make the classic shift from “working IN your business” to “working ON your business”.
Key Highlights:
◼️Why most entrepreneurs stay stuck: they never replace themselves
◼️How Tommy uses a clear org chart and defined roles to scale with structure
◼️The leadership traits he looks for when hiring managers and technicians
◼️How he built a training center to onboard new employees the right way
◼️The importance of weekly one-on-ones for accountability and long-term performance
Tommy is a super relatable and down-to-earth guy that has so much wisdom and experience to share. His knowledge will help anyone from an online solopreneur, to a Fortune 500 CEO. His story is packed with practical strategies for growing a service-based business, and leading like an actual CEO. Listen in and take notes!
