All right.
00:01
If you're a painting contractor who's busy all the time, but not growing and seeing the results you want, but you want to grow your business without guessing, chasing random tactics, or wasting another year fixing the wrong problems, well, this might be exactly what you've been looking for.
00:19
Why listen to me.
00:20
Well, my name is John and I've scaled my own painting company to multiple seven figures using structured systems.
00:27
And I guarantee I have been where you are now.
00:29
And our stories are probably very similar, if not the same.
00:34
I started my company by myself and I was doing everything by myself.
00:41
In the first couple of years I was working six to seven days a week, 12 hour days, and, and it really, really sucked.
00:50
I had just had a baby and I would leave, home before my wife and baby got up.
00:59
And most days I would come home after my baby fell asleep.
01:06
And really I would get to see her 1m day a week maybe, and that was sometimes and for really short durations.
01:14
you know, her first year of life, she didn't even want me to hold her because I was just never around and I was like a stranger to her.
01:24
that went on for a while and it finally got to the point where I thought, you know, I need help, I can't do this alone.
01:34
I started investing in myself.
01:36
I started buying different courses going in different coaching programs to grow my painting business.
01:44
And little by little, I started unlocking more and more progress.
01:48
And then I went from, you know, working six to seven days a week and constantly working every waking hour to actually having free time.
01:58
And now today, you know, I, I have time to spend how I want.
02:03
I'm able to wake up in the morning without an alarm clock and I'm not putting out fires every day.
02:09
I'm not rushing to estimates or job sites.
02:13
I actually get to spend time with my family, which now we have two kids.
02:17
And I would have never thought that this scenario was even possible based on where I was at the time.
02:26
All I knew was that I had to keep going because, you know, we just had a baby and I needed to support my family.
02:35
And I think that was the one big thing that stopped me from quitting was knowing other people were relying on me because I'm pretty sure if it was just me by myself, I would have just called it quits.
02:47
Because I think you guys know as well as I do it gets really hard sometimes and it can be a roller coaster.
02:55
And some days it feels like you're on top of the world and you're crushing it.
03:00
And then the next day feels like everything is collapsing and on fire and you just don't know what to do.
03:07
because I've been there and I've done that and I figured out how to get past that and how to get the results you're probably looking for.
03:18
And I want to help you get there because I know how that feeling feels.
03:22
like you're a failure sometimes and like no matter what you do, things just aren't working out.
03:28
And I promise it's not because you're not working hard enough.
03:31
And it's not because you're stupid.
03:33
It's because you just need to have the right answer to, to the problem and solve it in the right time at the right way.
03:43
And really it's like learning how to read or probably like how you learned how to paint.
03:48
You know, you didn't just sit in your room and teach yourself any of these things.
03:53
Someone taught you and someone taught you that knew how to do it well.
03:57
And that's really how we need to approach building our painting businesses, is finding someone who's been there and done that, who solved the problems that we're currently facing and can give you those answers to the test.
04:10
So and you know, what I do now is I work with painting contractors who are serious about building their businesses.
04:17
And that's really what the best damn painter's guide is built around.
04:22
So, you know, most of them are doing anywhere between 200,000 a year to 1.5 million a year.
04:28
But one thing they have in common is that they feel stuck and confused about what to do next.
04:34
And a lot of them are just solving any problem that pops up.
04:37
You know, they're hard working, they're capable, they have skills and they've got momentum.
04:43
But really what they're lacking is just some structure and direction, right?
04:48
They want real answers to their questions and they want real solutions to their problems, not just general, basic information that they could find anywhere.
04:57
Real, actionable information.
04:59
And that's what this course is about.
05:02
So who this course is not for, right?
05:05
This isn't for contractors looking for a way to avoid working on their business.
05:10
Right?
05:10
And that's really what moves the needle, is working on your business and not in it.
05:15
It's not for anyone who wants a shortcut without building systems.
05:19
This is going to give you the answers to the test, but it's not going to be a shortcut that gets rid of hard work.
05:28
And it's not for anyone that's not willing to look at themselves and their business objectively and make strategic changes.
05:35
You know, that's.
05:35
It's not going to be a fit if you can't look at yourself in the mirror and understand the things that you need to change.
05:42
Right?
05:43
Because growth requires structure and it requires knowing that you are capable of more.
05:50
So how I help when you book a call with me, we do a few things.
05:54
One, we look at where your business is right now, today.
05:58
Revenue, lead flow, close rate, production capacity, and all the systems you have in place.
06:05
Then we identify your true bottleneck, the real problem that is holding your business back from growth.
06:13
Then I show you the exact growth roadmap that we use inside the full program, and then we'll walk through how to grow marketing, sales and production in the right order.
06:23
Specifically for you, I explain what working together inside the paid version of the best damn painter's guide looks like.
06:31
And then finally you decide if it's a fit.
06:34
It's completely up to you.
06:35
No pressure, no hype, just insight and clarity.
06:39
So even if we don't work together, you'll leave knowing exactly what your next highest leverage move is.
06:45
So why does this work?
06:46
Well, most painting companies grow in chaos, right?
06:51
Or at least I did.
06:53
And you know, you add more leads before you can actually handle them.
06:57
Maybe you hire people before sales are consistent.
07:01
You're adding crews before you even have production booked out.
07:04
You're spending money without looking at data or you may not even have data.
07:10
And I know that was the case the first couple years, for myself.
07:14
So, you know, you have to realize that growth doesn't happen in straight lines.
07:19
You know, it happens in blocks of capacity.
07:22
And that's within your marketing, sales and production.
07:26
And one will always be the constraint that holds you back and holds growth in your business back.
07:32
so inside the free course, I teach you what specifically to work on, right?
07:38
But inside the paid course, I show you how to actually work on that problem step by step and the actual actionable steps to take and fix the problem and how I would do that today and really what I do today to fix those problems as they pop up.
07:55
So we, you know, we go through things like lead source selection and the math behind it.
08:00
Sales structure, sales guarantees, sales capacity and sales training, production scaling.
08:07
You know, how we're hiring W2s, how how we're hiring subcontractors, where to find them, how to train them, how to enforce your culture and your standards so that everything comes out the way it should.
08:22
How to hire project managers and how to schedule properly and make sure you have the correct backlog of jobs for your business.
08:30
That way you can grow safely.
08:33
We go over compensation structures, you know, how should you be paying your salespeople?
08:38
How should you be incentivizing your project managers and your painters?
08:45
We go through a 12 month growth roadmap with the actual actionable steps for each product part of it, you know, you'll stop guessing, you'll stop reacting, and you'll start building intentionally, you know, and that's why it works.
