They all want a piece of the action. But there’s only so much to go around.
There are so many bills today to just enjoy an average standard of living. Now add in medical expenses or charitable giving and suddenly you’re behind the eight ball.
Struggling to make payroll every Friday morning AND pay your personal bills is stressful.
My son recently had emergency surgery. The bills are still rolling in but I expect them to reach at least $15,000 out of my pocket. Not including what I already pay for health insurance!
What would I do if I didn’t have the money?
What would you do?
Maybe your answer is to work harder…
As a group, contractors are hard working people. So I’m going to assume that you’re not afraid to work.
Many contractors I’ve coached are working 60...70...100 hours each week. All to make $60,000 a year. That’s crazy!
They’re not lazy. The problem is they’re doing the wrong things. Maybe you are too.
Have you ever watched a fly try to escape a room through a closed window? They see the promised land on the other side of the glass so they bang away.
You and I both know that they’ll never get through that pane of glass no matter how hard they work. It’s not going to happen.
But they don’t know. So they continue to try harder...and harder...and harder...until they die.
If only they knew about the open door on the other side of the room.
Just like that fly, working longer hours isn’t going to take you to the promised land. There just aren’t enough hours in the day/week.
Meanwhile, as you’re banging away working longer and longer hours, your wife is sitting at home wondering what happened to you.
She’s beginning to feel like she’s raising your kids by herself.
And your in-laws?
They wonder how their daughter got hooked up with a man who can’t provide for his family.
This is why so many contractors end up in divorce court. It’s a sad end to a long struggle.
But it doesn’t need to be like this...

Tom Reber, The Contractor Fight
My name is Tom Reber and I’m the man behind The Contractor Fight.
When I started my painting business in 2002, I didn't have a clue what I was getting into. Five hard years later I couldn't take my family out for ice cream without worrying if there was enough money in my checking account to cover the bill.
After a lot of trial and error I figured it out and sold my successful business to my partner in 2012. Since then, it’s my goal to bring respect and dignity back to the trades. And a HUGE part of that respect is for contractors to respect themselves by protecting their time and charging what they're worth.
Contractors are the backbone of America. You beautify peoples’ homes. You keep shit running. You make daily life possible for millions of people across the country.
So why is it that you don’t have a seat at the table?
Why is it that doctors, lawyers, government officials, accountants, managers, IT professionals and more are all EXPECTED to make at least $100k and contractors aren’t?
Working with your hands is a noble calling. Let’s treat it as one.
I developed the $100k Contractor program to help you make a dramatic shift in your business.
Just like someone took you by the hand and showed you how to be a master at your trade (painting, carpentry, tiling, etc), I’m going to show you how to run a profitable business. One that is a vehicle for your family’s dreams—not your nightmare.
No more fucking around. It’s time to make a change.
Membership in $100k Contractor is EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.
We’re going to hold you accountable, answer your questions, share our checklists and spreadsheets, plus give you the motivation and atta-boy you need to consistently get 5% better each month. It’s as close as you can get to a “business in a box” in the contracting world.

Robert was "busy" but steadily going broke until he joined $100k Contractor...

You're not alone on this journey.
What’s it worth to no longer have your in-laws look at you like you’re the loser that stole their little girl?
What’s it worth to know that your medical bills aren’t going to bankrupt your family?
What’s it worth to spend afternoons at your kid’s school instead of at the jobsite?
What’s it worth to bring home a reliable check each month and proudly hand it to your wife?
I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised…
One-on-one business coaching can run as high as $36,000/year or more.
Other contractor group coaching programs cost as much as $10,000/year.
Needless to say, if you’re struggling to hit $100k, those prices are probably out of your reach.
That’s why I worked very hard with my team to develop a program we can offer you for a price that works with your pre-$100k income.
There’s no other contracting coaching program on the planet that’s going to give you this much value.
If your phone isn't ringing every day with fresh new leads, you're missing out on opportunities right in your neighborhood.

Includes checklists and fill-in-the-blank worksheets for generating a step-by-step plan designed to get your phone to ring with the RIGHT customers.
Stop chasing leads that will never buy. Stop running around in your truck spending countless hours chasing unicorns.
In this video series, Tom shares our unique 5-step pre-qualification process. Instantly KNOW without a doubt if your prospect is a BUYER or a LIAR.
Also includes sales phrases and a template you can use for your perfect sales call.
I wanted to take a couple of minutes to thank you Tom Reber. Thank you for encouraging me to raise prices. Thank you for encouraging me to say No.
Thank you for encouraging me to not run out and do tap dances anymore. In fact everyone of the charged estimates has resulted in a check. I have some more learning to do in business.
I want my company to grow big time. I want a big house and to be able to take care of my family. The reason I fight my newborn grandson! ~ Dale S.
While the free content is full of golden nuggets and chocked full of real value, you're still left to your own devices to figure the stuff out and try to implement it yourself.
Being in 100k gives you access to powerful resources and instructions on how to use them. You gain focus and a sense of direction. The best part is you get real hands on coaching from "the guy from the tube." ~ Benton C. (Cabinet Maker)

James exceeded his sales goal for 2020 and quadrupled his salary. His wife is secure and happy...
I was searching for about a year for a coaching program. Yet all the coaching programs, at the time, I would have had to pull a loan for. I was in a bad way, didn’t know my numbers...I was jumping when the potential customer said jump...
[On hearing about 100k] My thoughts, “Fuck, here we go again another coaching program that I NEED and can’t front the money.” But when he said a number under $1,000 ? I couldn’t believe it. And to back that, he said the words I’ve been telling my wife for over a year, which were “how do these people think someone like me can afford 1,2,3K to drop on coaching when it’s fucking coaching I need to make that kind of money!” I didn’t even speak to my wife about it, I signed up immediately. ~ Jason W. (Handyman)
Just got off a 3 hour training webinar with Tom on Empire building and Marketing Strategies. Anyone in this group who has not been on one of Tom's webinars is seriously missing out...a TON of gold nuggets that I plan to use to grow my business. Thanks Tom...now I'm going to rest my brain. ~ Mark F.
