Ron Wilder’s journey from the Army National Guard to CPA to franchise owner has always been about helping people. His desire to serve others was a strong driver in choosing his 1-800 Water Damage franchise.
Ron is the owner of 1-800 Water Damage of North Fulton, a property damage restoration company in Georgia. In this interview on Business X Radio, Ron talks about his path to business ownership and why he ultimately invested in this franchise.
For Ron, it’s not just about what he’s doing for people who are going through disasters, he also teaches his crew members every aspect of the business to give them the training ground to one day own their own business.
“We all have revenue projections we have to make, but if I could do this business and not be paid, that would still be rewarding.”
This Veterans Day, we honor our country’s bravest by featuring this Veteran turned franchise owner who is achieving the American dream he served to protect.
Questions and topics discussed during this interview include:
