2 HOUR HOUSE – LEADERSHIP FROM THE GROUND UP

Proving that nothing is impossible if you believe it can happen, the 2 House House chronicles an East Texas builder’s quest to overcome the odds, and accomplish what was perceived to be the impossible task of building a 2249 square foot house, from the ground up, in less than 3 hours.  Either he would prove the doubters wrong and go down in history, or watch his dream go up in flames.

"The greatest outcome wasn't building a house in record time; it was creating a new way of thinking about building EVERYTHING!”   
-The 2 Hour House

"Watching the 2 Hour House and reading your book about how you broke a world record inspired me to want to break a world record as well. I want to show people that you're never too old to pursue your dreams. In 2010, at the age of 47, I will be the first person ever to compete in four Winter Olympics each in a different decade. Thanks for your inspiration!"
Ruben Gonzalez, Three-time Olympian
-- Author of "The Courage to Succeed"

BOOK CHAPTERS

• Nothing is Impossible
  “Nothing is impossible if you believe it can happen … Honestly, there were times during the next 18 months that ‘belief’ was all we had. I believed it could happen, and I tried to transfer this hope into the other people around me. The board eventually approved my idea to build a three-bedroom, two-bath, 2,249 square foot two-car garage home in less than three hours.”
  
  
• A Plan That Works
  “To accomplish your biggest dream, learn to build it backwards … One thing I learned as this story unfolded was that conventional methods would not get me where I wanted to be. Although I had been in the building industry almost my entire adult life, I could not lean on standard building techniques if we were going to set a world record. It would take something new, something I couldn’t even envision at the time.”
  
  
• Practice Makes Perfect?
  “Learn from your mistakes. Don't repeat them … ‘Maybe we are crazy,’ I remember thinking to myself as I made my way around the city loop toward home. In fact, several people came up to me that weekend, took me aside and encouraged me to face facts. It wasn’t going to happened.  I should just give up right now before I wasted any more time and money or embarrassed myself and hundreds of others with me.”
  
  
• Never Neglect the Fundamentals
  “Identify the fundamentals and build everything else around them ... The foundation says a lot about who you are. Your fundamentals determine a lot about you. It doesn’t take long for someone to figure out what you most value. “
  
  
• Details, Details, Details
  “See the big picture. Get everyone to understand the importance of every single detail ... Details keep people learning. It removes some mystery of what it takes to be successful because they learn to master the details with consistency. Success naturally follows.”
  
  
• Principle of Persistence
  There is NO LIMIT to what tenacious leadership can accomplish … Where in your personal and professional life are you stretching yourself so much that you are risking it all? That’s the time and place for real growth. Grow people by stretching them and entrusting big things to them that they think they cannot do for the simple pleasure that is its own reward – success.
