We share how Grace took a sleepy painting company, faced a divorce and a two-hour commute with five kids, and still 10x’d revenue by focusing on sales, margins, and team. The path is not easy, but it is simple: solve the next problem, implement fast, and use a proven roadmap.

• starting in cleaning then pivoting to painting for better margins

• taking over the company after divorce and relocation

• learning in-person estimates and building trust

• tracking close rates and raising average ticket

• fixing margins with clear scopes and change orders

• hiring subs, standardizing production, and defining done

• shifting mindset from operator to CEO

• using constraints to drive focus and action

• investing in coaching and following the roadmap

Quit your job, man.
