⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Tom Reber & The Contractor Fight Tom Reber and The Contractor Fight have been game-changers for me — not just in business, but in life. As a contractor who survived COVID, spent months in a coma on a ventilator, and had to rebuild everything from scratch, I know firsthand how important mindset, discipline, and leadership are. Tom’s message of “fighting for your business, your family, and yourself” resonated with me deeply. His podcast and coaching gave me the clarity to not only rebuild my company but to scale it with confidence and purpose. Today, I’m leading a fast-growing pool and landscape company in Arizona, giving back through community events, and even training for a world record stair climber attempt. I couldn’t have done it without the principles Tom teaches: take ownership, stop making excuses, and build a business that serves your life instead of consuming it. The Contractor Fight isn’t just about tools and tactics — it’s about mindset, courage, and accountability. Tom tells it straight, no fluff, and that’s exactly what contractors like me need to hear. If you’re a contractor who wants to stop surviving and start thriving, listen to The Contractor Fight. It will change how you see yourself, your business, and your future. David Arizona

The Contractor Fight is great .Theres a lot of material and expertise to soak in here. So far it has helped me reach 200k gross in my first two years in business . The new intervention podcast episode I just heard is phenomenal; I hope to hear more of that . Thanks for all the help Tom and team from a electrical contractor that has learned most of what to do and how to charge from just listening to this podcast.

Tom is one of a kind Coach and business mentor. Downloaded the job costing google sheet TCF provides, filled a form out with my new info and Tom called this afternoon for a coaching call. Just shows how much someone truly gets their worth by creating value for others and it set my head straight when I’ve been traveling off course. Always my go to business coach.

As a loyal member at BRM, it was awesome to be able to get some insight in Derek Prince’s mindset. You can tell how passionate both him and his wife Brandy are, from the first time meeting them. I’m so glad to learn what helped get them to this point, and to delve deeper in the content!
