Breaking the Mold is more than a book, it’s a door to success, an opportunity to transform lives. Videla knew like no one else how to put together his valuable knowledge of life, exposing in detail invaluable lessons on how to reach the “top” even when the odds seem to indicate the opposite, Videla’s Life accurately portrays that of many Latinos who, for fear of failure or lack of encouragement, abandon their dreams, Breaking the Mold revolutionizes this reality, and presents us with valuable Lessons of Success to be adopted by any individual in the quest for a financial and professional upgrade.

An incredibly insightful book that will help not just newcomers in the construction industry, but seasoned professionals as well. Videla takes you through a rollercoaster of a ride while telling these stories of his life and how they impacted the way he runs his business. Not all lessons will apply to you, but by the end of the book you will have walked away learning something new that will no doubt positively impact your business. Overall a great book with moments of comic relief that are much appreciated.

I bought the version in Spanish and English and while they have done a great job in translating it to Spanish, the book reads much better in English (many terms are specific to the USA and don’t translate that well into other languages). I also believe the humor is better in English too. Can’t wait to get my hands on the audiobook version!

A well-crafted and engaging self-help book which leans a little more heavily into a memoir format than many. The use of anecdotes to illustrate the points of each chapter, followed by lessons that are briefly presented at the end, is a somewhat atypical but effective technique. The conclusion is ambitious and thematic, which is unusual but works well as a coda for the text. The language is quite polished. In short, this is a distinctive and engaging mix of a self-help/autobiography book that offers a very decent primer for principles of self-employment and business success.

You don’t have to be in the construction & remodeling business to benefit from this book! If you are in business or want to be, the lessons taught by Fabian Videla in this book are GOLD. Part autobiography, part how-to, ALL Here’s-The-Stuff-You-Really-Need-To-Know, “Breaking The Mold” will have you rethinking (remodeling?) how you do business–no matter what business that is. Mr. Videla himself admits he doesn’t have a lot of time to read (as much as he enjoys it); you probably don’t either. GOOD NEWS…*this* is the audiobook that will turn your drive time into Thrive Time. So open your ears, open your mind, and get ready to smile while you learn. (Full Disclosure: I narrated the book, and I’m excited about all the invaluable information I learned about real costs, markups, profitability, growth, and how a successful business should run…ALL IN ONE BOOK, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, CLEAR AS CAN BE.)

Fabian Videla is a master storyteller as he weaves together valuable business lessons with real-life stories and applications. While directed at construction and trade businesses, as a freelancer unconnected to the trades world, I have been able to successfully apply the lessons he taught. The book is highly engaging and definitely worth reading — especially in you’re an entrepreneur. Go read it!

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Fabian Videla

     

     

    We dreamed of moderate success when we first envisioned where we wanted to be as a company in ten years. Still, we never imagined that we would build a multi-million-dollar construction company that has been part of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in North Florida three times since 2017 and has been included in the Inc 5000 for 2022 as one of the Fastest Growing Private Companies in the country which places Smarter Remodeling among the top 0.7 % of enterprises in the United States.

    Looking back, our success was built on our core belief that helping others succeed was the surest path to our success. We created this organization around this core value and ensured that it’s not only a guiding principle but something we live by every day.
