So I just recently kinda decided to try out painting, I enjoy doing the DIY stuff around the house and for close family. Would you follow this same guide is I was just a single person painting for people around my neighborhood or is there is a different way? I'm just starting out with this so i also dont want to overcharge people when they don't really know me

Paying sub contractors an hourly labor rate can get you into hot water these days… the overlords might try to force you to get unemployment insurance…

pay per job is a much safer

I know the numbers you're doing or just for an example, but $20/hr seems really, really low. I would think fifty dollars an hour will be a starting point.

I've never understood why people are confused about bidding/pricing every job is the same its always labor x materials x profit= The Price

Hey man! Great content! 👌 💪

I am following you for some time now and I have 2 questions:

Do you estimate for free or customer need to pay for that?

How much do taxes eat your net profit?

For example, if someone is making 10.000 $ per month, what % government takes?

I think that really important to mention because in some countries taxes are 25% which is horrible.

How would you deal about that?

Can you create a video about taxes?

Once again, great content! 🙂

Cheers! 🍺

As a company grows it requires higher gross margin, maybe sometimes… but that’s not exactly the truth either… because at some point you hit the bell curve of the economy of scale… example: your headquarters often don’t cost you double to have twice as many ppl working there… but there will be milestones where a big expense is incurred like when you really do outgrow your headquarters and when you do need to find new traffic sources for market (often the first 1-5k of a new traffic source will be wasted to dial in your campaign but after it’s dialed you can scale to the limits of that traffic source! Ps: scaling online traffic often kills ROI temporarily)

Hey there, Is the × 2.4 for two finish coats of paint or do you still need to multiply the price by 1.4 to get the "2 coat" price?
Many Thanks
Blessed Week, Derek

The production vs labor rates has been a bit confusing for me. We used to just charge for labor rates. I can see how I been looking my but on these jobs projects.
