An
open invitation to my Contractor Peers and Colleagues...
"I feel like my business
is running my life instead of me running my business. Between
customers, sub-contractors and employees, I just can't seem
to get ahead."
Does that sound like your situation? I hope not, however
if it does, you are not alone. That is the sentiment
of many contractors who attend my seminars and workshops.
The construction industry is a demanding profession.
Customers cannot wait to get their project finished.
Sub-contractors show up when they want to, and employees just
seem to be working only to pull a check on Friday afternoon.
Then, there is highly competitive pricing and it seems like
a new company pops up every six months to challenge your place
in the market. It can create a viscous cycle with no
apparent end in sight. What is the answer?
I will get to that in a minute.
But first, let me tell you that when I decided a few years
ago that I wanted to run a marathon, I knew that if I was
going to reach my goal, I would need help. I would need
someone with some real life running experience to keep me
on track. As it turned out, I ended up with two coaches.
One of them holds the record for running 1000 miles in 11
days and the other had run 38 marathons. The result:
I have run four full 26.2 mile marathons and five 13.1 mile
half-marathons.
With those kinds of results, I began to look for coaches
for other areas of my life. I have found them and they
help me keep my life on track to accomplish the goals I have
set.
Something else occurred. I had to have a radical shift
in my mind set. You see, since the age of 13 I wanted
to run a marathon. But that little voice way down deep
inside would say, "Who do you think you are Paul?
You can't run a marathon. You haven't got what it takes."...and
for 25 years, that voice was right.
Until I learned to change my thinking and my consciousness
about what was possible. Therein lies the key to
your success. When you are able to change your thinking,
when you are able to shed limiting beliefs about what you
can do and when you are able to get in touch with your inner
strength and consciousness, then the possibilities are endless.
It takes a genuine awareness of what is working and what
needs to get better. I have heard it said that the definition
of insanity is doing the same things over and over and getting
the same poor result.
If you want to change your life, change your thinking
and your expectations of yourself.
But you may say, "Hey Montelongo, I am already successful.
I have a great business and a great life."
I understand completely, because I said that, too, for many
years. And by all the common societal standards, it is true.
I live in a 3,500 sq.ft custom built home, take nice vacations,
drive new cars (including a Jag), have a thriving business,
am in great physical condition and have a wonderful family.
But that isn't enough. A sense of inner peace of mind
and soul along with life balance is much more important.
And here is the most revealing thing about having a life
of balance. When your level of consciousness rises,
so does your prosperity. I am talking about all areas
of prosperity. What you can create and give back to
your community, your family, your peers and yourself far outweighs
any so-called material wealth.
And that is why I am writing to you.
Sometimes it takes a different set of eyes and ears to get
us on the right track. Sometimes it takes someone who
has been there and done that to point out the tremendous power
that is within you.
And that is what coaching is all about.
What is coaching? How does it work? What benefits
will you gain? This program is not for everyone, but
if you are committed to flourishing in the marathon of your
business life, then this program may be for you.
With 24 years of experience as the owner and creator of
two multi-million dollar construction companies, I have "been
in the trenches." I invite you to take a look at
the comments following this open letter about my coaching
program and if you are interested in knowing more, please
contact me at Paul@ContractorOfChoice.com
for a free half-hour initial coaching conversation.
There is great potential in each and every one of you to
create the life you desire. Coaching is a premier way
to help you unleash the unlimited power within you.
I hope that you give serious consideration to having a life
coach. "Obviously spaces are limited. I would
hate for you to miss out on this extraordinary opportunity!
Think about what this type of program could mean to you. If
you have any question, or are ready to start at once,

May you prosper and have great inner peace.
