#052 - I Worked 80 Hours a Week... And I Was Still Losing Money

What if working harder is actually making your business worse?

That's exactly what happened to Tas...

Working 80 hours a week nearly destroyed my business.

In this episode, Tas shares the biggest mistakes he made while building a painting business, including burnout, micromanagement, pricing mistakes, and why systems changed everything.

In this episode, Tas shares the lessons that transformed not only his business, but his life.

One message stands out above all:

If you don't make a decision... you're making the decision to stay exactly where you are.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, trapped in the day-to-day, or struggling to let go, this episode is one you don't want to miss.

For those who don't know, we upload a new Business Podcast Episode every Thursday at 5pm.

Tas shares practical lessons from the real world of running and growing a painting business.

No fluff.

No theory.

Just honest conversations around sales, systems, leadership, profit, and the challenges business owners face every day.

If you're looking to build a better painting business, we'd love to have you join us.
