Hard work and long hours is not the only path to success.
You started a business to create freedom, yet so many business owners end up working even longer hours in pursuit of success.
We will show you how to accelerate your results without sacrificing your time, and put you on the fastest and most direct path to building your company.
Ready to learn and grow?
This is an exclusive program, and spots are limited.
You want to control your schedule and live life on your own terms.
You do great work, you work hard, you are ambitious.
You see the big opportunity that’s here - right in front of you.
And you’re willing to do what it takes.
Do these problems sound familiar?
You can’t find marketing that works and you’re sick of paying for overpriced, under-qualified leads from Angi and HomeAdvisor.
You constantly get undercut by low bidders, customers want cheaper prices, and you aren’t getting paid what you’re worth.
You can’t find good reliable painters to work for you, so you end up babysitting or picking up a brush and doing the work yourself.
You feel like you’re spinning your tires... Not growing as fast as you want to, or not growing at all.
You feel so damn close to making it happen, but you can’t quite figure it out.
Nobody wants to work 60, 70, or 80 hour weeks.
You started a business to work LESS.
But then somewhere along the line you started making compromises with yourself.
“I'll just put in a lot of hours now so I can really enjoy life later.”
"I can live with a moderate salary for now - at least I own my own business"
Or you've accepted the idea that sacrifices will have to be made in the early stages - it will get better later on.
These problems donʼt solve themselves.
We’ll help you fix these problems for good.
Quit compromising. Quit making concessions.
It’s time for you to build the life you dream of, and you’re closer than you think.

Hear from our members about their experience
with the flagship program at Painting Business Pro
Why do I do this?
I started Painting Business Pro in 2013 to help people start a painting business. I simply wanted to learn how to do business online. I had no expectations.
Over the years it has grown significantly - beyond what I ever could have expected.
And in 2021 I almost shut it down to focus exclusively on National Painting Group where we are building a portfolio of multi-million dollar painting companies.
But then I started looking through some of the stories from our members. The impact Painting Business Pro has made on people is undeniable, life changing, and I couldn’t bring myself to stop doing this work.
Instead, we decided to double down on the work we’re doing at Painting Business Pro and take it to the next level... I really love what I do, I’ve spent 20 years coaching people, I’m damn good at it, it makes an enormous impact on people, and that’s why I do what I do.
We’re doing this to make an enormous impact on the lives of people in this industry from business owners to team members to customers to painters and subcontractors.
We Guarantee Youʼll Add $75,000 in Profit Per Year to Your Business, and Youʼll Do It Without Working More
... But the real intention of this program is that you’ll build a million or multi-million dollar painting company with a team who runs the day to day, and that takes more than 1 year.
We make building your dream company and creating freedom simple, one step at a time.
This program isn’t for everyone and if it’s not a good fit for you, we’ll let you know.
But for the right business owner, this is the last program you’ll ever need to achieve all of the goals you have in your painting business.
