We all have stories and experiences that have formed us into who we are. We are what we think, and the battleground is our mind.  The Fight is not with the people you think are "cheap customers." It's not with the unlicensed competitors or the "illegals," as many contractors think.  The Fight is with yourself.  Sadly, most of the struggles contractors have are self imposed. It's friendly fire. The negative ways we think about ourselves and our worth… friendly fire. The growing debt, working too much, small bank account… friendly fire.  Winning the Fight is a choice. find Tom on instagram at @realtomreber, and YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/TomReber 0:00 introduction    1:35 how did you get into the business 4:10 Contractors fight - why the name 5:45 why the mindset is so hard, negative self talk  8:25 how to be more disciplined, small daily goals  11:40 transition into HGTV  18:40 importance of processes  24:30 prioritizing yourself  time  31:25 "if there's anything you need we'll share with you how you can live without it" 36:25 - book contractors fightclub
