For three years straight, Israel Neumann ran his painting business the hard way - doing every single job himself. And for three years straight, he stayed stuck at exactly $100,000 a year. Then he did something strange. He started pretending his arms and legs were broken. Not literally - it was a rule he made for himself. I cannot paint anymore. I love it, I'm good at it, but it's holding me back. And I'll never grow if I keep doing it myself. So he stopped picking up the brush. And, he started trusting other people to do the painting. And his business went from $100K… to $250K… to a pace of $750k to $800k this year. While working about 35 hours a week and finishing every day by 4pm. This one's for you if you're the one doing all the work yourself - and you can't figure out why you're stuck no matter how hard you paint. Hunter sat down with Israel on the latest PBP Show to hear exactly how he did it. Here's some of what they get into: The "broken arms and legs" trick Israel used to finally force himself off the brush Why Israel stayed stuck at exactly $100K for three years in a row - and the one decision that broke it The moment Israel actually tore his Achilles this year - and why his business didn't skip a beat (he sold more) Why Israel gave up painting even though he loves it and is genuinely good at it The pricing change that raised his sales rate - one price for everyone, no exceptions, no matter how much money he thinks they have How Israel pulls 20+ leads a week on Facebook just being himself on camera - in his truck or out in the woods The $17K job he sold 15 minutes into knocking on doors in one neighborhood Why Israel tells customers "if it were me, I wouldn't do this" - and why it wins him the job Why he has his crews over for family dinner every couple months - and what it does for his business Why Israel's biggest challenge isn't growing… it's making himself slow down How he works ~35 hours a week, is done by 4pm every day, and freed his wife up so she doesn't have to work Israel didn't triple his business by working harder. He did it by finally stopping the one thing that felt like work. #businessstrategy #contractorsuccess #businesstips @EricBarstowCo ​
