Location
Woodbury, MN
After four years at a college painting company, Brett started his own so he wouldn't have to get a real job. Four years in, he's over $1M a year with huge margins and a lifestyle most people would envy. And he's only 27.
The Challenge
Brett started Top-Tier doing $240K, wearing every hat himself and still picking up the brush. He'd learned the trade in college, but running the whole thing solo had a ceiling.
The Solution
He poured more into marketing, focused on the three channels that were working, and did more of them. He let go of control, going from micromanaging to trusting his team to do their jobs. And he sharpened his sales process.
The Outcome
Brett grew to $1M a year at $300K in profit, running it part time at 27. His sales work alone added $180K in high-profit sales in a year, and his lifestyle now includes 75+ vacation days and 150 rounds of golf.
