2.ZZZZ Best Carpets.
Barry, at age 15, started his own carpet-cleaning firm ZZZZ Best Company in his parents garage in Resenda, California.Today at 19, his company will boast sales of $2 million. Barry got his start as a child going to work with his mother who managed a carpet cleaning business. It was here that he began to formulate in his mind a more efficient and successful carpet cleaning business.
With no financial backing from his parents, barry managed to save enough money to purchase his first carpet-cleaning machine.Since that time, his office has moved from the family garage to San Diego, Anaheim and Thousand Oaks. Aside from the fact that he had to finance his first machine, Barry also faced problems form some of his teachers at School. “ Some teachers seemed resentful of me,” he recalls. “They thought I was trying to beat the system to demonstrate that you didn't need an education to be successful. But I totally believe in school. I think it’s the greatest thing.”
Currently his company has grown to 103 employees including his father and mother. His goals include franchising and becoming the General Motors of the carpet cleaning Industry. Perhaps the only drawback to his job is the hours> Barry begins work each day at 7 a.m. and stays until 8 p.m. It isn't hard to see that he earns his $2 million by putting in a 6 hour work week.
What was the key to barry’s success? It’s the key of analyzing a business and improving on it, something that plenty of businesses could stand in this country. For Barry those long days of thinking and planning, in his mother’s office, paid off.
