NEW YORK (April 15, 2025) — Building Blocks of Success: An Inside Look at the Technical Contract Staffing Industry, by Monte Block, is now available on Amazon. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
In Building Blocks of Success, Monte Block, who has spent nearly five decades in the technical staffing industry, shares his journey from learning under his father, Jerry, to building a multimillion-dollar staffing firm. He offers insights that help business leaders leverage technical contract staffing. From his time working for a publicly held company to owning Equiliem (Rotator), this expertise has been passed down through generations. Jerry Block taught the business to Monte and his wife Linda. Years later, Jerry helped Linda and Monte teach their children, Brad, Shannon, and Jourdan—shaping a company poised for continued success.
Block’s book is packed with insights on government contracts, managing complex regulatory requirements, and fostering a resilient company culture. His perspective emphasizes the importance of ethics in business, building strong relationships, and investing in great people.
Aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals will learn to seize opportunities, master legal compliance, and develop strategies for thriving under any conditions.
“Through this book, you will gain backstage access to the good, the bad, and the ugly in technical contract staffing,” Block said. “You can customize this road map to make it work most effectively for you and your future endeavors. I turned my passion into a multimillion-dollar business, and now I get to enjoy every minute of it. My goal with Building Blocks of Success is to help you do the same. Because if you’re hungry, determined, and willing to take risks for the reward, you deserve the success coming your way.”
A blend of personal advice and hard-earned leadership insights makes Monte Block’s new book a trusted resource for anyone aiming to excel in workforce management and talent acquisition.
