The Secret Sauce Is The Grind.

Once upon a time, Tommy Mello started painting garage doors for $100 each. Today, he’s worth a billion dollars. To make matters worse, he’s just 43 years old, absurdly fit, and by all accounts respected and admired by everyone he meets, including the 700 people he currently employs at A1 Garage Doors. I asked Tommy how he did it. Tommy told me. And when he finished, I was again reminded of the simple, undeniable fact that mastering a skill that’s in demand and then working your butt off can still lead to something that looks an awful lot like prosperity.
