Hi,

I'm Devon de Langley.

If we must get formal, I'm the Founder and CEO of Bubba Group.

I don't know how the hell you got here, or who sent you.

But your arrival is long overdue.

And now that you’re here.

Let's not beat around the bush.

You're here because you're hungry to grow your painting and cabinet refinishing business.

Right?

Right.

Look, I get it.

Growing a painting business is hard.

Very hard.

In fact, if I had to make a comparison, here it is.

It’s kinda like eating a mouthful of beetles while riding a 300cc scooter through a hailstorm at 120km per hour, naked.

And that's especially true when you approach it like most business owners do.

Through trial and error.

By hoping and praying.

By stumbling around trying to figure it all out by themselves.

I call it "Guesswork".

Or "Hell".

Anyhoo.

In some way, shape, or form, your business is not where you want it to be.

You’re probably worried about where your next customer is gonna come from.

You’re probably crossing your fingers and toes wishing for more referrals to magically swoop in.

Your hair is going fifty shades of grey from all the damn uncertainty.

And you definitely don't wanna work with other general contractors anymore.

Nor do you wanna sub for other painting companies.

Because let's face it.

Both of those options leave you making less money than you otherwise could.

But you already know that.

You’re probably feeling forced to say "yes" to all these damn jobs that you don't even want to do.

Just to keep some work coming in.

Just to keep the guys busy.

And to top it all off.

Your pipeline is dryer than the Sahara Desert.

And the truth is, as entrepreneurs, there’s nothing in this world that murders our happiness faster than zero leads and zero customers.

How do I know?

Because 9 years ago, I was no different.

9 years ago, I launched my first business.

And with unsold inventory pilled all the way up to the ceiling in my bedroom.

And with less than $50 bucks in my bank account.

I sat in my bed totally defeated.

Paralyzed by the uncertainty of not knowing where my next customer was gonna come from.

So I get it, I get how you might feel.

I thought building a business was supposed to be fun.

Until I was kicked straight in the balls by the harsh reality of no customers.

And you see, as entrepreneurs, we get so married to our businesses.

We’re pushing, shoving, clawing, sacrificing, and hustling our faces off just to get ahead.

But when our business struggles, it tends to negatively impact other areas of our lives.

Our friendships.

Our attitude.

Our health.

I would rather rub chilli flakes in my eyes than run a business that way ever again.

And that's why 9 years later, I'm so damn obsessed about helping ambitious and entrepreneurial painters.

But enough about me.

Today is about you.

I wanna know about you.

And . . .
