Ty sir

I’m from Winston Salem nc I know my competition

This is basically my gaming backlog. Just grows and grows with games I want to play but have less time to do so now, with growing the business and raising 3 kids. Fantastic! 🙃 Now, a business backlog to contend, too! Ah, growing pains! 😏

Nice

Hi Eric materials and mark up? Ok materials is usually 10% let say mark up 40% then I will work $50 an hour in my area painters are $25 an hour I will be completely uncompetitive!

Do you think hiring college kids for d2d is still viable post covid

Hey I watch a lot of your videos and I’m interested in growing my painting business do you have any services you offer that can help?

Hi, Eric, please explain me that. How 2 man can produce 6,000 job per week. ??? I'm $30 per hour painter, and I make. 1500 a week.

Good stuff.

I have been using chat GPT I paid about 10.00 for the better version. It works wonders and it also breakers down all the jobs and prices. I’m in NYC so I put down NYC prices which are more expensive than other parts of the country. You can charge between 3-6 per square foot depending on the size of the job.

This is such good info

I am successfully failing. So, that means I'm trying, at least. 💪🙂👍

Any advice on subcontracting for property management in NYC

I'm following your model and got my LLC and EIN, but I'm having issues finding an insurance provider that covers 100% of the work being done by subs. Do you have any input on that?

Brother do you have any examples of some contracts for subs?

It is brutal sometimes ....most of the time Eric, 100%

Great advice, bro

What? Come on now… you can do better than this.

Can you share how you do estimates?

Can you share how you do estimates?

It's a good reference to start, but like some people wrote, isn't that simple. There is a lot to consider.

On average, how long does it take to achieve those numbers for the folks who sign up for your program with no experience or little in painting but are hungry?

I’m trying to start painting business and have no idea on how to go about it. I have five jobs lined up and am unsure how to quote my customers without feeling like I’m charging to much or not charging enough. I want the customers to be happy and I want to be happy with everything when everything is done. I’ve been painting for over 15 years but this is new territory for me.

Just wondering if is important to love what we actually do?

Good stuff. Enjoy life now as you build a business. I needed this.

This was a open palm smack to the back of my head.😅 Learn to love where you are now or face a future of no satisfaction 🤙🤙🤙

Good stuff. Working on this now.

Thank you. As a young entrepreneur I’ve opened my own sole business even got an employer number from the IRS. I’ve been gathering knowledge from you. I’ve painted for 2 years but always wanted to own my own company as I’m just tired of not being able to do stuff my own. I’ve ordered signs to place outside neighborhoods and have physically gone around and handed out business cards / also hinting verbally that I paint. I unfortunately don’t have materials yet but my next check is going towards ladders, sanders, rollers, and everything I possibly need including prep material. Taxes is also a big thing in business. I’d love to see a video on how you do taxes for your painting business. What you deduct, what to expect on a negative year, etc

I've been a painter for 40 years. I get $600 Per room including ceiling walls and trim. Including materials.

Studying aviation "accidents" is instructive here. In Aviation, they have "mishaps", or preventable incidents. If you look back a plane crash, you can most likely find pilot error, or maintenance errors. Reflection and application of what you learned is very important. Good Video!!

There’s a new 3d printer that paints walls now, pretty much looks like a robot that paints faster than a human with a spray gun. Perhaps AI can become our entire painting crew, project manager, estimator, office manager. Just send in the bots!

This was an amazing video. I have seen many of your videos and this one really bules my mind. Excellent process. Thank you.

So true why make it with no plan of keeping it

Yes! Or, oh, something came up, so we have to hold off for now... Getting that quite a bit lately.

Love it. Can we get the full interview?

Amen to this

Here in the Houston area ALL of these " Bed Room Communities " have posted signs that says " NO SOLICITING " which also means no Door Hangers as well.

Great advice, bro

Halfway through, I forgot if I was watching a video on paint or a video on golf...

Very well said brother. Ill definitely start watching your videos. Thank you.

Thanks for this! It's hard letting go of control. I like the checklist idea.

I am a painting contractor and my profit margin is between 40-75% because I do the work my self and not try to be a supervisor slaving ppl for cheap labor

I think he wants less competition lol

Whats the right margin?

If you are only making 10% profit you should give up on your life's work to make someone else higher profits smh

I think you are one of the people that should quit

Wow. Good stuff.

Great advice on growing a painting business! A friend mentioned Field Rocket, which supposedly markets your business as you manage tasks. Would appreciate any content or reviews!

Love it.
