Sure, today Weldon’s a highly respected entrepreneur, sales expert, and <em>New York Time</em>s bestselling author. But would you believe that 20 years ago this same man was a three-time convicted felon who’d been living, in his words, a life of “poverty, desperation, and struggle”?</p>\n<p>Today you’ll hear how over a seven-year period—from the confines of his prison cell—Weldon profoundly and irrevocably changed himself by changing the way he thought about his life. Within just a few years of leaving prison (for the last time), he went on to build an Inc. 5000 company with $20 million in sales. And that’s just the beginning.</p>\n<p>In this BYB episode, you will . . .</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hear the details of Weldon’s success story and get powerful insights that can help you in Becoming Your Best</li>\n<li>Discover why creating a specific vision for the future was so crucial for Weldon</li>\n<li>Learn what it means to live with a prosperity mindset</li>\n<li>Understand how the things you fear most can find their way into your own life—and how you can change that</li>\n<li>Learn how to handle life when you’re in the depths of despair</li>\n<li>See why blaming others only hurts you in the end</li>\n</ul>\n \n\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%E2%80%9CBetter+decisions+guarantee+a+better+outcome.%E2%80%9D+%E2%80%93+Weldon+Long&via=BYB&related=BYB&url=http://www.becomingyourbest.com/blog/from-a-convicted-felon-to-an-inspiration-an-interview-with-weldon-long/\" target=\"_blank\">“Better decisions guarantee a better outcome.” – Weldon Long</a>\n<p><a class=\"tm-ctt-btn\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%E2%80%9CBetter+decisions+guarantee+a+better+outcome.%E2%80%9D+%E2%80%93+Weldon+Long&via=BYB&related=BYB&url=http://www.becomingyourbest.com/blog/from-a-convicted-felon-to-an-inspiration-an-interview-with-weldon-long/\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK TO TWEET</a></p>\n \n\nSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST\n<p><a href=\"http://www.becomingyourbest.com/blog/itunes\" target=\"_blank\"></a>      <a href=\"http://www.becomingyourbest.com/blog/stitcher\" target=\"_blank\"></a></p>\n<p> </p>\n EPISODE RESOURCES\n<p><a title=\"Weldon Long\" href=\"http://weldonlong.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Weldon Long</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://hvacsalesacademy.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HVAC Sales Academy</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Upside-Fear-Poverty-Addiction/dp/1608320006\" target=\"_blank\">The Upside of Fear</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Power-Consistency-Prosperity-Training-Professionals/dp/1118486803/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454447493&sr=8-1&keywords=the+power+of+consistency+weldon+long\" target=\"_blank\">The Power of Consistency</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://hvacsalesacademy.com/the-invincible-sales-professional-events-page/\" target=\"_blank\">The Invincible Sales Professional </a>(forthcoming from Weldon Long)</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Your-Best-Principles-Successful/dp/0071839984\">Becoming Your Best: The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/1451639619/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458077800&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Seven+Habits+of+Highly+Effective+People\" target=\"_blank\">The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People</a></p>","author_name":"Steve Shallenberger: Successful Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker, and Bestselling Author | Rob Shallenberger: Former Fighter Pilot, Author, Executive Coach, and Corporate Trainer"}
