Weldon Long - Speaker, Subject Matter Expert

About Weldon Long

Bestselling author, entrepreneur, contracting business expert, and mindset expert Weldon Long built his business from the ground up, but his story doesn’t reflect the typical path of the average business owner you would expect to hear.

In 2003, Weldon walked out of a homeless shelter after serving 13 years in prison. A 9th grade dropout and three-time convicted felon, he found himself broke and unable to gain employment. Despite his bleak history, in five short years he had built a contracting company that was selected by Inc Magazine as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America.

Weldon Long is the author of several best selling books including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Power of Consistency. He is a successful entrepreneur, professional speaker and a contracting business expert. He has written articles for numerous business magazines including Inc magazine, Entrepreneur magazine and The Harvard Business Review and has appeared on several national news and business programs.

About Weldon Long

I began working for TLI in October 2020. Even though I’m experienced as a salesman, I found I had a lot to learn. Last year’s sales took a nosedive – so much so that I was laid off for over 2 months! I knew from experience I needed a sales program to follow and I presented the owner with some options. We’ve been with EGIA as a company for over 10 years and was quite familiar with Weldon Long and some of his philosophies. So we thought his program would be the simplest / easiest to implement. While that turned out to be true, there is so much material it took some work (!) to get through it.
Totally worth it!!
Our owner leveled with me and said “Mike, basically if the customer has qualifying credit, your close rate is nearly 100%!!”
He’s right. With the presentation flip book and the price cards, we are able to differentiate ourselves from any competition the prospect may come across. What this does to your confidence is amazing!
He went on to discuss probably the most impactful part of the program: Mindset training!
I have received far more from this program than the price of admission.

We’re in a good spot, and you played a big part in that! This last winter would have been disastrous for us if I hadn’t take that leap and jumped in last year. So I want to send you a lot of thanks and appreciation. I’ve had a lot of experiences with consultations before. And your dedication, hard work ethic, and mindset really sets you apart from what I’ve experienced before.

It was truly a game-changer, and exactly what our team needed. I hope that your expertise and insights have breathed new life into our sales efforts and ways our team can overcome the challenges the industry continues to throw our way. The training session was precisely what the doctor ordered for us, serving as a much-needed catalyst to rejuvenate and empower our team. Your ability to inspire and motivate is unmatched. You helped equip us with the tools, strategies, and, most importantly, the mindset required to conquer the constant obstacles that our industry presents.

Thank you for taking the time to make my little slice of the Habegger world better today. Everyone who attended that training is now better for it. Kudos and well done, sir!

I was introduced to Weldon by Andrew Stotz after being on his podcast. I then read two of Weldon’s books and reached out to him to be on The Unstoppable Podcast and to have him speak at our Unstoppable Event.I recommend Weldon based on His authenticity, knowledge, expertise and professionalism. Weldon is a talented storyteller, who captures the audience in such a unique way. We greatly appreciated how Weldon integrated our event theme Unstoppable in his Keynote. He inspired the audience (to tears) that anything we put our mind to, put into action and belief, we can become and do anything we want to create in our lives. NO MATTER WHAT, circumstances do not define your opportunities. He also gave tangible processes and systems on how to create the success you want professionally and personally.Weldon and team are AMAZING to work with, kind, patient, professional, ORGANIZED and still very easygoing. Made planning our first in-person event with Weldon being our Keynote speaker seamless and smooth.

I’ve been an entrepreneur most of my life and have crossed paths with many successful and inspiring business builders and motivational speakers, however, I can honestly say none of them compare to Weldon Long! We recently had Weldon speak at a company event. Those in attendance expressed how fortunate they were to have spent time with him and hear his thoughts and views on life, business, sales, and entrepreneurship and how those thoughts were more than motivational . . . they were truly inspiring! Sharing his life story and lessons learned are beyond valuable. In a world of so much ‘fog’ and ‘confusion’ it’s refreshing to hear the authenticity of a real-world example of someone who went from desperation in poverty to a life of wealth and prosperity. There is truly no one like Weldon Long!

“Professional then personally I have known Weldon (Wally) Long for 15 years. We have seen him speak, motivate, entertain, educate and give people self-help at a Bryant National Sales Meeting, two to three times now at Peirce Phelps (where I am employed) as a “keynote” speaker. The most recent date of 2-23-22. Along with Speaking engagements Wally has trained our Carrier/Bryant Dealers in the Sales Process and some of our key people in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Wally before he presents as a speaker he has asked me personally what were the key themes and or subjects that we would like to have a listener get out of his presentation. He has nailed it every time. We have had contractors that will come to a meeting that have seen him before just because he is returning again. That is a powerful speaker. People want to hear him again! That is impactful. Wally is a man of his word, with honor and integrity. His team, Krysta, made the arrangements this past year seamless and professional. I would recommend Weldon to anyone in any walk of life for whatever the desired need could be. He is a true friend as a result of our 15 year relationship. One that has true meaning to me.”

“Weldon was a uniquely dynamic speaker, with a distinct talent for his craft. His message speaks to business minds from varying social perspectives, and his approach conveyed valuable keys to business and life success. His creative process and anecdotal speaking style, truly encouraged me to remain engaged. He knows how his tactics have worked for him, which makes him a true authority on business development and sustainability. With his level of energy and enthusiasm, I can only imagine that he must be the first one up even if he was the last to hit the sack. (And he’ll probably wake you with a coffee and a muffin). If there is a microphone around, putting Wally on it is sure to bring about a mass positive mindset realignment.”

“Weldon, it was so great meeting you and we so appreciate you sharing your story and your journey! We received AWESOME reviews about you! The Power of Consistency and the Money Brain concepts can certainly be paralleled into our daily lives both personally and professionally. I look forward to working with you again in the future!”

“Weldon Long was recommended by a PIA Past President. He said Weldon changed his life.WOW! That statement is true for the PIA team.Weldon is a living example of how changing your mindset and setting goals can change your life. You can get what you want – make sure you are not letting what you want be a passive thought but take the time to flesh out the steps on how to get there.”

“After receiving and reading a copy of the Power of Consistency, I knew Weldon would be a great fit for our members!In the real estate business, it’s easy to get lost in the ebb and flows and blame market conditions, your clients, or your peers instead of taking a hard look at your own systems and beliefs.Weldon’s message and methods resonated with our group and gave them the practical tools to incorporate in their business. It was a much needed boost in motivation in this post-pandemic world.”

“Weldon Long is an amazing keynote speaker. His messaging is clear and very inspirational, guests will leave knowing they can overcome anything if desired. Weldon spoke as our opening keynote speaker at the Midwest Multifamily Conference. His survey post conference survey’s were outstanding with over 85% attendees giving him 5/5. People left absolutely loving his sessions and purchasing his book sets. Some even wrote hire Weldon for next year. As a meeting planner who books dozens of speakers a year, I would recommend Weldon a million times over.”

“Weldon has shared the stage with Dr. Stephen R. Covey in a high level, professional workshop. We found him to be articulate, motivating, and inspiring. Personally, I believe we could not have contracted for a better keynote speaker to augment Dr. Covey’s message.”
