Omar is a co-founder of “College Hunks Hauling Junk. This has become a very successful business in today’s world and has reached the ears of almost everyone in America. What this business does is exactly how it sounds; when you have junk needing moved and hauled away, young college men will show up at your door to move it away.
This business got started in 2004 when Omar won $10,000 from a business plan competition at Universoty of Miami. I remember seeing Omar appearing on the popular show “Shark Tank”. He was actually presenting a new idea called “College Foxes Packing Boxes”. Ultimately, he didn’t end up pursuing the idea with the sharks but it showed how Omar has that characterisitic of “always be moving forward”. This is something seen so much in the millennial.
Omar has a great story that so many others should try to follow. He had an idea at a young age, then executed it through putting himself out there in business competitions. This is such a raw story that exemplifies the entrepreneur.
This is an awesome story. The fact that Omar was able to follow his idea from such a young age is inspiring. I am impressed to hear about the business competition winnings, great example of true entrepreneurship!
Omar is such an inspiration. He had an idea and pivoted his idea until it could serve his market in the best way. Great post!
I would like to start off by saying that the name of Omar’s business is brilliant. I find it so neat that a company started off such a simple idea can become so successful. Also, it is extremely inspiring that his story started with him entering a college business plan competition. All companies have to start somewhere… So why not GCC?
