In this solo episode, I share the story of my “house from hell” a painting job on an 80 year old stucco home that nearly broke me.
From poor delegation and unsafe ladders to underbidding and painful client disputes, this project taught me the hard way how not to run a painting business, and ultimately gave me the foundation I needed to scale a real painting company.
If you’re trying to figure out how to grow a painting business, and lead like a true owner, this one’s for you.
What I cover in this episode:
✅ The mistake that cost me more than money
✅ Why painting is the least valuable thing I did
✅ How to delegate better (and actually train your painters)
✅ What happens when you underbid just to win a job
✅ Mindset shifts that helped me go from struggling operator to actual CEO
Want to scale your painting company without burning out like I did?
🎧 Tap play and learn from one of my biggest lessons.
