In this episode of the Profitable Painter Podcast, Daniel Honan (CPA, former painting business owner) and Richard Dunton (Enrolled Agent) break down the exact framework they use with clients to identify and smash through their biggest bottlenecks. You'll learn the "GAPS" framework to diagnose what's truly holding your business back: * Generate Customers: Is your sales process and marketing the problem? * Align Labor with Demand: Do you have the right team to meet your goals? (Learn the powerful "Rule of 3") * Policy or Behavior: This is the MOST COMMON constraint! Discover if your pricing, cash flow management, or compensation plans are secretly killing your growth. * Scale to the Next Constraint: What to do after you break through your current ceiling. If you're feeling stuck, unsure why you aren't more profitable, or can't seem to break through to the next level, this episode will give you the clarity and actionable steps you need. 🚀 FREE BOOK & LIVE WEBINAR INVITE!
