During days off from firefighting, he pursued many endeavors. This eventually led him to the roofing industry and starting RoofCON, a support network and leadership summit for roofers. With his service background, Hunter always felt part of a brotherhood, and created RoofCON to extend that connection of purpose to roofers and other business owners.
Deciding to get serious about the hiring process, he made a promise to his team to give them training, tools, and technology to make six figures. He said, “if you do (what I’m teaching and equipping you with), you will make money and we will invest in you, your work ethic is all you have to bring.”
Most of life is determined by moments of realization of what is possible, and then acting on it.
LEADERSHIP: Success and income happen more naturally when the most important focus is that of being the best father, husband, person, LEADER you can be. Hunter expects that of himself and wants that for conference attendees. Leaving a lasting impact from legacy focused leadership that transforms others is the end goal.
TRANSFORMATION: “Self-worth before net worth.” At the conference, men discuss difficult subjects like imposter syndrome (that nagging feeling of self-doubt). You must shift your focus off yourself and to “how can I bring more value to the table, the community, and how can I help others be their best?” Hunter and the team help you get to the next level in business and life by transforming your mind from cocoon to butterfly vision.
BUTTERFLY EFFECT: Expand your vision and recognize leadership as a privilege, then work to multiply it. Consider whose life will you change, how your children, family, employees, co-workers are impacted by your leadership. Hold yourself accountable by making sure you are a leader “creating more leaders, not just creating more followers”.
PERSONAL BALANCE: Start here. You can do more marketing, have better sales and promotion, but most importantly a good leader must have their own life in order. Be intentional and present during each interaction. Time management and a support system are essential. Communicate with your support people whether spouse, family, or business partner to be sure everyone has the same mindset about why you do (and need to do) what you are doing.
MULTIPLICATION OVER ADDITION: “You can sell 10 roofs a month consistently and make thousands of dollars, but what if you bring in 10 more people and teach them how to do what you do?” Rather than just one by one, multiply your wisdom into people, train more sales reps and multiply the effect.
LEFT BEHIND: Solar and coatings are taking off so don’t be left behind. Many guys don’t want to accept it, but if you’re at the beginning of your career you need to integrate solar as it will be part of new construction in the years ahead. And for commercial roofing, it’s about coatings. The trajectory of people seeing the value of coating a roof is growing rapidly. Like solar, it is not right for every building, but don’t be naïve to new or different options. Customers are often knowledgeable and listen to many sources, they may want to consider the latest options for their property.
SEMINARS FOR GROWTH: RoofCON is about the proper process to healthy growth. Start asking questions of yourself, how do I set priorities, am I building my business right, hiring the right people, am I investing in the team, who am I impacting and how?
RoofCON offers expos and panels of important information like planning an exit strategy for retirement or making more money, but the goal is to build a network of individuals who are driven toward self-improvement and determined to be their best in all areas of life, especially as leaders.
