Junk to Gold: From Salvage to the World’s Largest Online Auto Auction

Willis has a clear understanding of who he is and what he believes in. His focus is clear and unwavering: Family. Religion. Copart.
Willis built Copart from one junk yard to a $4.5 billion high-tech driven auction company. This did not come from a series of successful 5-year plans. Willis never had a long-term plan. His focus was to survive. To get up each
morning and do the best he could. He brings to that task certain natural abilities—the ability to constantly observe; to think about what he observes; to prioritize; to delegate; to rethink, reexamine almost everything constantly.
And he is comfortable making decisions
How he thinks and his capacity to be decisive is why Copart has grown from one junk yard to a $4.5 billion international high-tech inspired auction company.
