On October 1, 2005, a team of 800-plus volunteers in Tyler, Texas, achieved the impossible: they built a 2,249 square foot house in two hours 52 minutes and 29 seconds. Ironically, the greatest outcome wasn’t building a house in record time; it was developing a new methodology for transforming a vision into a reality. Jose Feliciano, owner of Feliciano Financial Group, a wealth management firm in Tyler, Texas, helped to package the vision-building tools from the 2 Hour House experience. The tools and a best-selling book were complemented with the business-building techniques Jose developed as a financial advisor and business coach over the last 15 years. For more information, visit
