In this episode of The Painter’s Circle, host Tas unpacks one of the most common struggles painting business owners face — feeling trapped in a business that can’t run without them.

Tas reveals why so many owners become the bottleneck in their own operations, constantly stuck putting out fires instead of driving growth. He shares practical steps to systemize, delegate, and design your business to operate smoothly — even when you’re not there.

By freeing yourself from the day-to-day grind, you’ll gain the time and clarity to focus on what actually grows your business and makes it more profitable.

🎧 If your business feels like it owns you instead of the other way around, this episode shows you how to break free.
