Scott's 1st company sold Yamaha. Actually made $250,000! “Nobody is actually qualified!”

In my second year, I pitched Yamaha motors for a brand strategy consulting engagement. I surveyed thousands of young people using a laptop and submitted a proposal for a quarter of a million dollars. I doubted myself when I received a $125,000 check, but it was a turning point. We worked hard and launched profit, which is now a 500-person firm with worldwide offices. Profit will always hold a special place in my heart.
