What a journey and thank you for sharing your insights.

A must read

Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Valuable life and business lessons that I can apply in my own life.

inspirational story!

I liked all of it. made me want to invest in Copart, and start a business!

Pretty good blueprint of compare

Story never got boring and gave you all the information you would need to know on how Copart started and grew to how big they are today. Highly recommend this book. It’s short too so you won’t lose interest.

Willis is the no-nonsense antidote to buzz word entrepreneurship

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Great story, straightforward and useful advice. Timeless business wisdom from one of americas greatest entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneur’s stay clear, it’s a personal autobiography

Personally, I was hoping for more practical insights into entrepreneurship, but this book felt more like an autobiography about Willis Johnson’s personal success. While his journey is impressive, it wasn’t the kind of actionable advice I was looking for. If you’re seeking inspiration from his life story, you might enjoy it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for someone wanting business strategies or entrepreneurial guidance.
