Idan Shpizear is a true “coming to America” success story. Having recognized the growth potential of the restoration industry in 2007, he and friend Peleg Lindenberg decided to start 911 Restoration with little more than $3,500 and a Volvo for an office. Success was not easy in the early days, and especially in the depths of the great recession, but through perseverance, ingenuity and good business sense the company grew and began franchising with branches all major cities around the country and Canada.

He says that focusing on goals makes the difference between survival and success. “A lot of people jump straight to business but don’t have a vision or strategy and goals. If you go through this process every day, your life will change,” he said.
