SBTB Ep 12 | From $500K to $6M: What It Really Takes to Lead a Scaling Painting Company

In this episode of Success Beyond The Brush, Mark Black sits down with Rick Holtz to unpack what it really takes to scale a painting company from under $500K to over $6 million. Rick shares what changes when you move from operator to CEO, why you must stop making exceptions, and how to grow without losing the heart of your company. If you're a contractor in the $1–$3M range and wondering what’s next, this episode gives you a real-world look at what scaling actually requires. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why scaling doesn’t automatically mean more stress ✅ The CEO metrics you must track weekly ✅ Why your first key hire should be production ✅ How exceptions create chaos ✅ The difference between ego-driven leadership and coaching leadership ✅ Why soft skills matter as much as craftsmanship 🔗 Links from This Episode ✨ Free Discovery Call with Scott Lollar 👉 https://consulting4contractors.com/di... 🏗️ Consulting 4 Contractors Website 👉 https://consulting4contractors.com/ ⚙️ Operations Module Demo Video (YouTube) 👉    • See Consulting4Contractors' Operations Mod...   ✌️ Operations Module 2.0 Update Video (YouTube) 👉    • C4C Monday 2.0 Update: CRM Migration + Sal...   📲 C4C on Instagram 👉   / consulting4contractors   👥 C4C Facebook Community 👉   / consulting4contractors   💼 C4C on LinkedIn 👉   / 70241567   📧 Want to Be a Guest?
