Ever felt like the odds were stacked against you? Struggling to push past obstacles? Then you won’t want to miss this episode of To The Point. Today, we’re diving into the story of Weldon Long — a man who went from spending 13 years in prison to building and selling multimillion-dollar companies.
Turning Adversity Into Advantage
Weldon’s life took a dramatic turn when he found himself in prison three times. But instead of giving up, he made a decision to change. Using his time behind bars to educate himself, he read books like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and How to Master the Art of Selling by Tom Hopkins. When he walked out of prison in 2003, he was homeless and broke, but his mindset was unbreakable.
Starting as a comfort advisor in the HVAC industry, he quickly discovered his talent for sales. Within a year, he launched his first company, which grew to $20 million before he sold it in 2010. Not stopping there, he built another business to $42 million in just five years before selling it. Weldon is now a leading consultant in the industry, helping others achieve the same level of success.
