I’m Starting Over and Building a Painting Company from Scratch

Описание: Tom’s back at it, diving into the contractor grind after 12 years away. This time, he’s building Simplify Painting, a brand-new painting business, from the ground up. In this episode, Tom keeps it real about why he’s jumping back into the game, how he’s stacking up wins, and the game plan for crushing it in marketing, lead gen, and brand building. Oh, and wait ‘til you hear the sales and profit numbers he’s already pulling in—this isn’t your average startup story.
