from Contractor Secrets · host Tanner Mullen

Done picking up the brush every day. Done being the bottleneck. Done being a "painter" — and ready to become a business owner.The problem?

He was embarrassed to even let me see how messy the back end of his business actually is.In this Business Breakthrough episode, I sat down with Journey for a live, no-fluff coaching call. I walked him through exactly why he's stuck, called out the identity shift he's been avoiding, and laid out the foundational moves I believe every solo painter has to make to escape the trap of "just doing it themselves.Coaching Session Signup: https://calendly.com/dripjobs/breakthroughPurchase the 31 Days of Value and build an EMPIRE: https://www.amazon.com/31-Days-Value-home-service-businesses/dp/B0FQSH32X7Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2v0D0SNSBofqJJE6zApEE1DripJobs Demo: https://calendly.com/dripjobsteam/dripjobsdemoGusto: https://gusto.com/i/tanner269OpenPhone: https://openph.one/referral/8Kc17aqFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/173750747824373/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/officialtannermullen
