The Power Of Consistency: From Prison To Building An Empire - Weldon Long

CEO Journals with Ethan Bridge

Episode #041 - How often do you find yourself waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise before you set off on achieving a goal, only to come to the realisation that that perfect moment doesn’t exist?

Or how about comparing your starting position to that of somebody else. Making excuses such as ‘oh their parents gave them money’ or ‘their parents owned the company and passed it down’?

These are things you cannot be worrying or complaining about. They are situations out of your control.

Weldon Long, today’s guest on the podcast, didn’t start his journey at the perfect moment and definitely wasn’t well equipped with the capital to start a business.

At the age of 39, Weldon was living in a homeless shelter after having served 13 years in prison. A 9th grade dropout and three-time convicted felon, he found himself broke and unable to gain employment.

After 6 months of knocking on many doors, he landed a sales position and quickly became one of the industry’s top sales leaders. In 2004, he opened his own company; and in 2009, that company was selected by Inc. magazine as one of the nation’s fastest-growing privately held companies.

Weldon’s story is inspiring, and he has to be one of the most motivating I’ve spoken to. His Sales experience and Prosperity Mindset philosophies are staggering.

I hope you enjoy this episode of CEO Journals.
