Michael Horwitz with Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta discussed the need for clean books and sound preparation in advance to prepare for a sale. Nancy Pridgen of Pridgen Bassett Law discussed ERISA law and employment issues, including mask mandates. Dr. Jaeson Courseault with Lifehope Medical described his holistic approach to healthcare with his practice of non-surgical orthopedic medicine, prevention and wellness, and helping his patients get better by looking at all the factors that may be impacting their health.

All three guests reflected on the ways a client can identify the red or green flags that signal they may need a business broker, an ERISA attorney, or a holistic doctor.

In Anthony’s closing comments, he echos the guidance that the best time to reach out to a financial advisor is when major changes are occurring. Family Business Radio is underwritten and brought to you by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Joseph Lambert, Owner, Joseph’s Junk Removal

Dreamer. Trailblazer. Jesus follower. Eldest of 5. Junk ➡️ Dreams. Running on Rocket Fuel🚀. ATL native. Avid 🏈 & ⚾️ fan. Urban Cowboy. Krispy Kreme❤️. Joseph is a 20-year-old entrepreneur in the trash industry. His company, Joseph’s Junk Removal, is already approaching 1.5 million after just 2 years in business. The secret? Great people, relentless confidence, and hard work!

Joseph’s Junk Removal’s story really starts when Joseph was 12 years old (winter 2013). As his parents were finalizing their divorce, Joseph realized the challenge ahead for his mom as she would try to provide for him and his four younger siblings. In an effort to help, Joseph started mowing lawns and working in construction to cover his own expenses. As a result, Joseph was able to release some of the burden off his family and discovered a hunger for growing a business in the meantime.

[Spring 2016] As mowing lawns grew, Joseph was restrained by one huge limiting factor: he wasn’t old enough to drive a car. Crazy right?! To fix the problem, Joseph partnered with a friend (Sam) who was older and could drive. The business model was simple: Joseph handled customer service, marketing, and scheduling. Sam handled the transportation. It was dynamite!

[Winter 2017] Fast forward to age 16, Joseph had saved up enough money to buy a pickup truck. After meticulously scanning the used car market for 6 months, he found his dream truck: a beautiful red and white 1986 Ford F-150. Armed with American ambition and horsepower, Joseph fixed his aim on every odd job he could find in surrounding neighborhoods.

[Summer 2018] At age 17, Joseph made $1600 in 4 hours by removing a bunch of junk for a landscaping client. He couldn’t believe it! After completing the job, Joseph researched the junk removal industry and was blown away by the margins, simple process, and scalability potential. From this point on, he focused on junk removal.

[Spring 2019] By senior year of high school, Joseph’s junk hauling business “Highschoolers Hauling Junk” was growing rapidly. As he juggled work, football, and baseball, Joseph put classes on the back burner. Consequently, he ended up failing a crucial class necessary to earn a diploma. As a result, he stayed in high school an extra semester (while all his friends went off to college) to finish the class. Embarrassing right?! Little did he know, it was a blessing in disguise.

[Fall 2019] While Joseph finished the class, the junk removal business (now called “Joseph’s Junk Removal”) was booming! By now, he was convinced of the immense potential in junk removal. After a full power-point presentation, Joseph got the greenlight from his family to pursue it full-time after graduation.

[Summer 2021] Less than 2 years after Joseph “officially” graduated high school, Joseph’s Junk Removal has grown to 25+ employees and 5 trucks. In that time span, Joseph and his team have fallen on their faces a lot. Lessons have been learned (some the hard way). But ultimately, every challenge the team has faced has made them stronger and more equipped to conquer the future.

What’s the secret? Grit? Hard work? Determination? Yeah, those are all essentials. But, THE KEY for Joseph’s Junk Removal is the right people. Teamwork makes the dream work. With the right team focused on the right goal, anything is possible! As Joseph says, “it’s just a huge privilege to be a part of this team!”
