Your Bucket of Drips * Sean DeVore
Manage episode 511412911 series 3688349
With a background that stretches from sweaty summer lawn jobs to making big moves in the flooring industry, Sean DeVore has seen just about every angle of building a career from the ground up.
He grew up surrounded by hard workers and picked up early on the importance of discipline, setting goals, and sticking to personal basics—think tidy presentation, a solid work ethic, and never shying away from a challenge.
Over two decades in flooring sales taught Sean that connecting with people and sharing honest stories can open unexpected doors.
His path wasn’t a straight shot; it took him from manual labor and maintenance gigs to thriving in commission-based sales, where he learned the true value of persistence and adaptability. Sean’s story isn’t just about flooring—it's about how determination, humility, and a willingness to keep learning can turn any dream into something real.
