I sat down with Mike Stuart, a tile guy from Iowa who started a concrete coatings business and quickly grew it to over $60,000 a month. We talked about how he got started with garage floor coatings, why the blue collar world still has so much opportunity, and how simple things like answering the phone, showing up on time, and being upfront about pricing can make you stand out. Mike broke down the numbers behind the business, including startup costs, material costs, pricing, ad spend, margins, and how he gets most of his leads from Facebook ads. We also talked about learning the trade through YouTube, making mistakes early, hiring crews, and why courage is often the biggest advantage when starting a business. You can find Mike at https://oldcapcoatings.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/oldcapcoatings/ or email him at mike@oldcapcoatings.com
Enjoy!
