Learning from Roofing Contractors: The Importance of Community and Teamwork

December 8, 2023

As I Meet Roofing Contractors Nationwide, I'm Always Amazed by Their Stories. 

They've started their own businesses and faced tough times with so much courage. Their experiences show us that working together makes us stronger.

Sharing and Working Together Makes Us Stronger

I started to really grow in my personal and work life around 2017. This was when I began to talk openly in small groups, sharing ideas and problems. Being honest and open in these groups helped me find new ways to do better in business and understand myself more. 

Being True to Yourself

The biggest change in my life was learning to be my true self. This wasn't just about feeling good personally; it was about encouraging others to find their true selves too. I started telling people about the power of finding a group, a mentor, or a community that shares your goals and values.

The Arena: A Place for Leaders to Grow

Together with Joseph Hughes from Contractor Dynamics, we started a community called The Arena. It quickly became a place where people with different levels of business success could come together. But what's really special about The Arena is the people – leaders who want to do great things for their teams and communities.

Insights from the Best of Success Conference

Recently, we attended the Best of Success Conference in Frisco, Texas. It was an enlightening experience, packed with valuable insights and great for relationship building. We had impromptu client dinners, received fantastic feedback, and listened to roofers from across the country about their experiences and struggles. Highlighting that they aren’t just out there chasing leads, but the relationships and consultative support they need to reach the next level of growth. It's amazing to not only hear about their successes, but also give space to voice frustrations and offer help where we can.

Leadership in Every Part of Life

Being a good leader is about more than just business. It's about being a better family member, partner, and person in your community. In The Arena, we focus on this kind of leadership. It's about growing, being open, and celebrating many successes. We build a support system that helps everyone keep learning and sharing.

Sharing and Helping Each Other

I encourage you to find your group, ask for help when needed, and be open and honest. Share what you know and your successes. Think about giving more than receiving. By sharing, we make our own lives richer and help make the world a better place. We all have things to teach and share, and it's important to pass this on to others.

Conclusion: Growing Together

As we go through life, let's remember how important it is to work together and be real leaders. It's not just about doing well in business; it's about creating a place where everyone can do well, learn, and give back. By finding your group and being your true self, you can change your life and make a big difference in the lives of others.
