I agree at a high-level this is the correct progression - with the caveat that a rock solid foundations at those earlier stages has been built first. I see many experienced business owners come into the cleaning and local service industries like painting but can't hack those initial stages of growth who then end up leaving thinking it's a terrible business model. When really, they were getting ahead of themselves and tried to step out of the business too early.

I like your trying out some of this new content! Cool, lighting 🤘

YES GOOD IDEA. You can also paint offices, schools, hospitals or other public bulidings.

I really enjoyed this interview it was both motivational and informative. I really appreciate all these successful people sharing their struggles and what worked for them. I watch every episode thank you both for your time.

Out of all the interviews you guys did this one is probably the best one so far. I love how he went into detail on the marketing aspect of the business. Great video 👍

Eric B, before I even watch it this podcast could not have come at a better time for me! Started my painting business back in May after quitting my lucrative career bc I couldn't stand it any longer. Going through a divorce as well so decided to bet on myself. I left my apartment by choice to live in my van full time, but fortunately I did bc the business has been struggling and couldn't afford rent. Cash is tight atm even without paying rent, but I'm going all in on my painting business and know that it will succeed!

Great podcast. Motivational to keep going harder

10k in yard sign 😮

Nice thanks for sharing. I think the goal is less painting, who wants to quit painting? I’m in love with the craftsmanship… and profits, 5 star reviews, referrals, no marketing. Then when you hit a restraint with incoming phone calls you hire skilled painters that are willing to follow your on site systems and give them incentives. - my thoughts

Idk how to paint

I'm also on this. Been working on my business plan for the last month. It's not easy but it makes the future look alot more concrete.

Good interview thank you.

Hey my name is Anthony, I live in Detroit, Michigan, I truly want to thank you for your videos. Just wanted to ask is there a way I can reach out to you for some one on one advice?

Thanks for the content. I started my business in March 2024 and that first business you described in “phase zero” is exactly me. Only I did EVERYTHING solo including all of the painting. Definitely not ideal and am looking to hit that next level this upcoming year by implementing some of this stuff.

Love it Guys .. Great help to build out my own MBP. Thanks Eric 👊🏼 great work Grace !

I think it’s time to sign up and take my business serious going into 2025…your website domain is down but would like more info

Is it okay to apply even if I don’t have a business yet but want to start a painting business?

Don't look at the UK Public Services. It is shocking, they waste their own time 20 times over and waste the public's time too. Oh and that is before the corruption (Post Office inquiry).

step 1: have rich parents

Bill gates? Oh my.

Don’t forget software and network security. Data breaches and Ransomware can put a company out of business forever!

He built the worst operating system ever & continued till today.

I started a multiservice business, cleaning, professional organizing, interior painting. I make most of my money cleaning but i want to hire and focus more on what i love...painting....hopefully i get there

my problem is I am a great painter and crackfiller with alot of great clients, however I cannot find good workers here in my area. By the hour or subcontrators.

Awesome: This is 2 years of university combined. Now show some details, how to obtain these goals (asking unironically)

Barstow is a legend in the making for the painting industry

Nice 👍🏾

Good stuff

The feedback on setting a big goal as a business plan was super valuable. Profit is way more important than revenue

Piece of cake because everything goes according to plan and never goes wrong 😂

So helpful. I have been setting goals incorrectly. Thank you!

First of congratulations on those number for so little time! But respectfully you need to listen to Eric and follow he’s steps I’ve seen every one of he’s videos and everybody said the same thing follow the course and Eric to a T ….she’s so unorganized at the moment which is understandable wit just starting out but she wants to go on her own way ….youll do great next year just follow Eric.

I landed my first estimated! will be doing it on satruday

Like every video you make it's very informative and well explained, thank you for show us this well planned course.

Really enjoyed the show. Lots of great information.

Wait, is it real or staged? Where are all these huge numbers coming from? Is this US?

Really great info! Funny I Am getting ready to set my plan for next year and this popped up. Thanks guys

Excellent episode! Thanks Eric

This was great! As someone in the accelerator program it's extremely informative to see the adjustments in planning and prioritizing that you advise to someone who is already established. I would like to see more of this type of content. Thanks to both of you for sharing this meeting.

How many people on here started from the ground up with creating a painting business and not knowing hardly anything about running a business or painting in general?

Good luck in 25

Despite the production quality and the fact that your business is about painting, this is a great video that can apply to all types of businesses. Thank you 😊

Great interview! I get something from every episode thanks guys!!

Amazing video brother 🔥

lol this is my dream. 😤

This is so helpful dude

Walltex coatings Uganda,we love you

30% of the $500k goes to taxes

Is this with employee painters? Or subcontractors?
