With over two and a half decades of experience as a business strategist and entrepreneur, Nick has become an authority in the field, sharing his wisdom through four published books and real-world experience. The award-winning leader was recently listed 18th among the Top 100 Global Influencers in Franchising by SeoSamba and 1851 Franchise.
Nick’s journey as an entrepreneur has been nothing short of remarkable. His latest venture, Best Option Restoration, has emerged as a dominant player in water, fire, mold, and content remediation services on a national level, poised for global expansion.
Under his leadership, B.O.R. aims to disrupt established industry incumbents, sending a clear message that it aspires to become the new industry standard.
Pioneering a Path in Franchising
Nick-Anthony Zamucen’s early life was marked by financial struggles and uncertainty. Growing up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck, he understood the harsh realities of life. However, instead of succumbing to his circumstances, he nurtured a dream of success, fueled by a deep desire to overcome adversity, and help others in need.
From a young age, he possessed an intrinsic understanding that he was “cut from a different cloth” and that the conventional work environment wasn’t his destined path. With an innate desire to lead rather than follow, he found the allure of entrepreneurship, specifically in the realm of franchising, irresistible.
Nick’s journey into entrepreneurship was marked by a distinctive ability to assess industries and businesses, pinpoint areas for improvement, and execute strategic plans for success. He elaborates on this talent, stating, “I found out early in my career that I was good at looking at an industry or business, determining what needed to be fine-tuned or improved, and implementing a game plan.”
Over the years, Nick ventured into and succeeded across various industries, including restaurants, homecare, and bio-cleaning, launching and selling franchise companies along the way. One of his most triumphant franchising endeavors, Best Option Restoration, now operates within the $363 billion restoration industry. However, he candidly acknowledges that the path to his current achievements was far from effortless.
“While there was success from the first few franchises, there were a lot of mistakes made and a lot of jumping the guns. There are things that I wish I could do over again,” he explains. “But I think that’s why I keep franchising. I don’t know if it will ever be 100%, but I keep tweaking the model to be pretty darn close.”
In 2016, Nick entered the restoration industry with a mission to disrupt the conventional business model and create a franchise that truly stood out. He began mentoring and coaching others on the art of mitigation and restoration, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and profitability. Leveraging his extensive background in entrepreneurship and franchising, he has been imparting invaluable knowledge to aspiring entrepreneurs, arming them with the tools necessary for success.
