If you ever want to scale your painting business to $2M or $3M, you’ll need a solid team.

But let’s face it - most painting contractors never get there because they doubt they can build and manage a team.

Maybe you’ve struggled to manage people and think you’re just “bad” at it.

The truth is, you’re probably not a bad manager. You just haven’t learned the skills to build a team, lead them effectively, and help them succeed.

Like any other skill, team-building is something you can learn.

Which brings me to this week’s podcast with Bruce, a painting contractor who did $2.3M in 2024.

He made a ton of mistakes managing his team and business - some of them might seem embarrassing in hindsight. But every business owner has been there (myself included).

If you want to grow and reach that next level, you have to put your ego aside, make mistakes, learn from them, and get better little by little.

Bruce’s goal is to hit $3M in 2025.

He’s also managed to put down the brush and take real time away from his business, because his team handles the day-to-day. Recently, he took 11 days off for a family emergency and everything ran smoothly in his absence.

That’s the kind of life you can have when you build a capable team.

On the podcast, we discuss:

How one bad hire cost him roughly $650K in profits.
Why PPC marketing doesn’t work for painting contractors.
Why he avoids outsourcing marketing - and thinks you should, too.
His biggest marketing sources that brought in $2.3M last year.
A common management mistake that almost every boss makes.
Why “luck” isn’t the reason you find great team members.
The red flags he overlooked during a hire that ended up costing him $200K.
Why hiring more people doesn’t always mean more profit—in fact, the opposite can happen.
A simple way he delivers a great customer experience by coordinating his salesperson with his Project Manager.
How cutting out 3–4 meetings a week freed up his time.
And much more.

If you want to build a team in your business, this podcast is for you.
