<p>In this episode, I sit down with Ashton - a skilled Painter who built a business that&#39;s completely dependent on word of mouth. </p><p><br></p><p>Sound familiar?</p><p><br></p><p>This one gets real. We talk faith, fear, and the scarcity mindset that keeps good painters stuck. We dig into why word of mouth is a ticking time bomb, how to think about Google Ads vs Facebook Ads through the lens of buyer intent, and the math behind pricing a job so you don&#39;t accidentally work for free. </p><p><br></p><p>Plus a critical legal warning about paying your first employee the wrong way.If you&#39;re a painting contractor trying to make the jump from solo operator to real business owner, this conversation is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Coaching Session Signup: https://calendly.com/dripjobs/breakthrough</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase the 31 Days of Value and build an EMPIRE: https://www.amazon.com/31-Days-Value-home-service-businesses/dp/B0FQSH32X7</p><p><br></p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2v0D0SNSBofqJJE6zApEE1</p><p><br></p><p>DripJobs Demo: https://calendly.com/dripjobsteam/dripjobsdemo</p><p><br></p><p>Gusto: https://gusto.com/i/tanner269</p><p><br></p><p>OpenPhone: https://openph.one/referral/8Kc17aq</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/173750747824373/?ref=share</p><p><br></p><p>Follow me on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/officialtannermullen</p>
