Most people are obsessed with growing bigger.
Not better.
Just bigger.
More sales.
More followers.
More scale.
Wake up guys!
Growth without intention is a trap.
And nobody knows that better than Cameron Bawden.
This dude’s sold five service businesses for over $100 million, and he’s not even 40 yet.
What makes Cam so potent is his obsession with quality.
While everyone else was chasing faster turnarounds and higher margins, Cam was
building a premium brand.
His pest control company, Green Mango, didn’t cut corners.
12 stops per day, not 18.
Longer appointments.
Better service.
Better techs.
In his words: “We didn’t just start a business. We stayed true to the thing that made it special.”
Most guys won’t do that.
They start with high standards, and slowly chip away at those standards in the name of
scale.
But every time you compromise on your product, you compromise your integrity.
Cam didn’t just “get lucky.”
His first investor backed out.
He almost sold the company for pennies.
He spent years knocking doors in Arizona summer heat.
But he stuck with it.
And eventually...the business turned a corner.
He built the brand he believed in.
He fulfilled the promise he was making.
Here’s the line that stuck with me most from our conversation:
“People stop doing the things that made them special because they forget what they’re building.”
You want longevity?
Be obsessed with the product.
Deliver the same high-standard experience every time.
Don’t just build fast.
Build right.
The money matters. But the how matters more.
Cam figured that out, and now he’s reaping the rewards.
So if you’re a guy chasing success...
Stop cutting corners.
Stop scaling garbage.
Because when your product delivers, your brand grows itself.
