Rich Painter, Poor Painter: How the Journey Works…
Over my career, I have a long list of professional achievements to be proud of in painting, politics, publishing and academics.
Yet, it is my work in coaching painters that has given me the greatest level of personal fulfillment. Specifically, I love watching painters transform from poor & demoralized to rich & self-confident.
So, what do I mean by “rich?” Well, as someone who grew up dirt-poor, here’s what “rich” means to me.
1 – Living in the home you want
2 – Driving a car you like
3 – Sending your kids or grandkids to quality schools
4 – Having predictable, high-level income
5 – Taking regular family vacations
6 – Banking ample savings
7 – Being out of debt
8 – Giving back to your church & community
It isn’t Elon Musk or Bill Gates rich, but it’s a damn sight better than most painters experience. In fact, painting contractors, on average, struggle financially relative to the risks they take and the hours they work.
Though I’ve watched hundreds make this journey, two companies are near and dear to my heart because I’ve been working with them for 8+ years.
The first is Absolute Painting, owned by Michael Balding. They went from two dudes on a brush with one client to a large, diversified operation. His story, Fighting Through Fear to Find Your Hidden Potential, is one you do not want to miss.
The second is Halls Quality Painting, owned by Ben & Heather Hall. They went from wondering how they could afford tires for their work truck to living in a luxurious dream home in Fernandina Beach. If you work with your spouse in any way, From Bald Tires to King of the Beach, will both inspire and offer practical advice.
Both companies have seen jaw-dropping transformations, yet it all started with a small leap of faith. A desire to learn a “new & better way” of running a painting business.
If you are looking for new inspiration, motivation and methods in 2025, please join these painters and many more at the 9th Annual Painting Profits Summit. We have both live and virtual tickets available.
I promise you this: If you set your mind, block your calendar and follow through, your business can be completely different in the New Year! I promise you it’s true.

“Our first campaign reached $60,041.98! That's a huge percentage of our annual sales! You don't pick the peach orchard just one time. Different peaches ripen every day. Thanks for encouraging us to keep after it!”

“15 requests for quotes and closed and/or completed $23,000 of work and I still have a few more to do. Conservatively this campaign will net $25,000 in found money in the first 45 days! Thanks Brandon!”

“This year has been the biggest year of growth for us. We're double where we were last year. I realized the real money in this business is in the marketing of the services - not the doing of the services.”
