Today’s conversation is with Idan Shpizer. Idan is the founder and CEO of 911 Restoration, a disaster restoration franchise ranked among the top franchises in the United States by Entrepreneur. In addition to running one of the fastest growing franchises in the country.

Idan is a true “coming to America” success story. The son of an Israeli farmer, Idan’s business journey began when he moved to the United States after completing his service in the military. He took a job at a carpet cleaning company, then took over ownership of that same company only one year later. At the time, Idan had only an $800 Volvo, one carpet cleaning machine, and a two-bedroom apartment he shared with four other guys. But through perseverance, ingenuity, and good business sense, he grew his humble company into the full-service restoration business now known coast-to-coast as 911 Restoration. Today, his company’s famous orange trucks can be found parked outside homes and businesses all across America.

As 911 Restoration has grown, Idan has continued to expand his own skill set. He is driven by a passion for problem-solving and innovation. This passion led to the founding of his lead generation company, Milestone SEO, as well as Gazingle, a cutting-edge CRM platform that streamlines complicated processes to help businesses in the home service industry work more efficiently.

Today, Idan continues to push for innovation within his own company and among the companies he mentors. Never forgetting his own humble beginnings, he eagerly shares his hard-earned understanding of what it takes to make the move from tradesperson to successful entrepreneur. As a speaker and author, he guides the way toward finding purpose, success, and joy through ongoing growth and strategic action.
