This could have been a 1-2 page pdf and call it done. If this is your first self-help book you ever picked up it probably is valuable , but if you read on regular skip this book and instead fill your 4 hours of some of his YouTube as it is more insightful and practical.

I felt it’s more of self promotion and how he thinks roof selling is the most unique and one of kind careers out there. Don’t get me wrong he’s done things and made way bigger bank than I have, so I would probably be boastful as well. But I would NOT recommend this to people. It has few nuggets, but they are harder to find than in other books. I would imagine the sells are padded by him being a training manager and the requirement of this book.

Try acuff if you need actionable and entertaining goal setting and self help advice.

Perspective enhancement

I enjoy reading philosophy and things that relate to perspective enhancement. While I am entering the realm of doing roofing sales, this is also a general good read for assessment of yourself and everyday endeavors. Sometimes I don't like the way that Adam carries himself on social media... However, the way that Adam wrote his story and guide paints a whole different picture that I can respect. Thank you Adam for contributing to my perspective, Even at 41 years old.

Great insight—roofing sales really does seem like more of a mental endurance game than just a job, and the focus on mindset and burnout is spot on. Training and inner discipline clearly make the difference in long-term success. I’ve also seen similar practical discussions shared around roofing contractors west palm beach, where real-world challenges in the field often shape how people approach sales and growth.

Adam is a real asset to the roofing community, and his YouTube content is excellent. That said, while many business and self-help books tend to be twice as long as necessary, this one felt like it could have been condensed to a one-page handout.

very informative as a new salesman

Watch all of his YouTube as well! Very helpful for beginners and experienced salespeople. Roofing sales is personal development in disguise!
