Michael spent fifteen years in corporate America before quitting on January 1 to start a painting company with no industry background. He almost walked away in March. Fifteen months later he was running $150,000 a month with a full-time manager and the freedom to work because he wants to.

The Challenge

After fifteen years in corporate America, Michael quit on January 1 and started a painting company with zero industry background. By March, overwhelmed and unsure, he almost walked away.

The Solution

Instead of figuring it out alone, Michael followed the PBP systems step by step. He learned to estimate and sell, dialed in his marketing and lead conversion, and put a full-time manager in place to run the day-to-day. He focused on execution over guesswork.

The Outcome

Fifteen months in, Michael is doing $150K a month at $40K+ in monthly profit. A full-timer runs operations, so he could work 15 to 20 hours a week. He keeps going because he loves the work.
