ABN, sole trader vs Pty Ltd, business name, bank accounts, accounting options, Hnry vs Xero, and separating your money so tax, GST, materials and wages stop living in one pile.
Free 14-day course · From zero to running on AI
Build the business behind the brush
Learn to use AI in your painting business today. AI quoting, jobs assessed off photos, custom dashboards, cost tracking, follow-ups that chase themselves. Start from zero, go at your own pace.
Free to join, and nobody is going to ring you about it.
Build your own AI assistant
Most painters who try AI give up in a week, because the thing knows nothing about painting and every answer comes back generic. So the first thing you'll do is set yours up properly, with custom instructions built around your rates, your systems, your region and the way you already quote.
After that it works while you're on the tools, pricing and writing your quotes, reading a facade off photos, chasing the follow-ups you keep forgetting about, and turning your job numbers into a dashboard you can actually read.
You get walked through the whole setup from scratch, so it doesn't matter if you've never touched any of this before.
What your assistant does once it's set up
Four jobs it takes off you
Forget the noise about AI replacing tradies. What it actually does for a one-man business is quote faster, assess a job properly, chase the money you're owed and show you where you really sit, without you hiring anyone to do it.
Use 01
Quoting
Talk through the walkaround like you're leaving a voice note. Get back a priced, formatted quote with proper scope wording, ready to send. Minutes, instead of your Sunday night.
Use 02
Assessment
Send it photos of a cracked render or a blown facade and get back a plain English read on what's failing, what system it needs, and what you should warn the client about before you price it.
Use 03
Finance dashboard
Your job tracker turned into a live page. Say what changed after each job and a fresh dashboard comes back with your goal coverage, cash in, margin and hours against quote.
Use 04
Admin and follow-up
Quote follow-ups, review requests, supplier emails, council and strata replies. The jobs you keep putting off because you're knackered at 6pm.

Three finished jobs plus a progress payment have you past the locked minimum, with more still owing once the current job wraps. That job is tracking 61 hours against 70 quoted, so there's nine hours of buffer left before it starts eating margin.

More leads won't fix a messy business
AI will make a good business faster. It won't save a messy one. Most painters try to grow backwards, chasing more work before the business underneath it can hold any. If your online presence is weak, people don't trust you. If you never ask for reviews, your best jobs disappear. If you don't follow up quotes, money sits in inboxes.
Pouring leads onto that is like putting a topcoat over blown render. Looks right for a season, then it lets go. So the course is laid out like a spec sheet, because every coating system fails from the bottom up and a business gets built in the same order.
02
Protection Base
The insurance basics painters should actually understand. Public liability, workers comp, tools, vehicle and income protection, and what happens to you if one of them turns out to be missing.
03
Online Base
Google Business profile, logo and Canva assets, a website checklist that actually converts, socials, a proper email on your own domain. Look as good online as your work does on site.
04
Lead & Proof Base
Scripts for Facebook groups, DMs, past customers and quote follow-ups using TradePitch. Then a review and referral card with a QR code so finished jobs turn into the next three.
05
AI Base
The part nobody's teaching painters. Use an AI assistant to price and write your quotes, read a facade off photos, chase your follow-ups and turn your job numbers into a live dashboard, so a one-man business runs like it has an office behind it.
06
Owner Base
The community, the money habits, and the honest conversations about pricing, knockbacks, your body and burnout. This is the stuff that decides whether any of the above is still standing in five years.

Who this is for
You, if
- You're good on the tools but the business side is a guess
- You're solo or small and want control, not 20 staff
- Your job photos are sitting on your phone doing nothing
- Your quotes get sent and then ghosted
- You're not sure what should go to tax, GST, materials or you
- You're starting out and want to set it up right the first time
Not you, if
- You want a magic button that fills your calendar by Friday
- You want to stay cash-only forever
- You'd rather complain about the market than change anything
- You're after a get-rich course with a countdown timer
- You won't send a single message or make a single change
Receipts, not theory
Built by a painter who's still on the tools
Millionaire Painter isn't a marketing bloke who's never held a gun. Everything in the course got built, broken and fixed inside a real painting company on the NSW South Coast.

Before you ask
Fair questions
Is it actually free?
Yes. Foundations is free while the community is being built. Deeper stuff like websites, SEO and done-for-you systems may become paid later, but the course you join today stays free.
Will this get me leads straight away?
It can create lead opportunities, but it isn't a magic lead machine. You still have to send the messages, follow up the quotes and ask for the reviews. What the course does is tell you what to send.
I already run a painting business. Still worth it?
If your website, Google profile, reviews, quoting or follow-up are half-done, yes. Most established painters find two or three gaps in the first week.
I'm not good with tech.
It's built for painters, not tech people. Canva, Google Business, a website checklist and TradePitch scripts. If you can use a phone, you can do this.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. Coat 05 starts from nothing. Which assistant to use, how to talk to it, and the prompts you paste in for quoting, assessments, follow-ups and your dashboard. If you can send a voice note, you can do this.
Is this tax, legal or insurance advice?
No. It's general business education only. For anything to do with tax, company structure, insurance or legal, talk to a qualified accountant, broker or solicitor. The course tells you what to ask them.
Why "Millionaire Painter"?
Nobody is promising you a million dollars. The name is about thinking further ahead than the next job, and building the systems, finances, health and mindset behind a painting business worth owning.
Only for painters?
Built for painters, but most of it transfers to any trade or service business. If you're a chippy or a sparky, you'll still get the foundation.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Join, use it, and see if it helps. If you want deeper help down the track that option will be there, and if you don't, keep the free stuff anyway.
Stop winging it
Fourteen days from now you either have a foundation under your business, or another fortnight of hoping the phone rings.
