What would happen if you left your painting business for two full weeks, with no calls, no emails, no check-ins?
In this solo episode, Mike shares a powerful test every contractor should run: The Two-Week Vacation Test. It’s not just about taking time off. It’s about whether your business actually runs on systems, or just on you.
He breaks down:
Why letting go is so hard (and so necessary)
What happens when your team learns to operate without you
The systems and leadership mindset that allow real growth
Why freedom is the goal, not just profit
Whether you’re in the field every day or starting to build a team, this episode will challenge how you think about control, growth, and success.
