It's the 24th of the month and you're just now realizing production is going to miss target. Sound familiar? As a painting business grows and the owner steps out of "do it" mode and into leading, managing, and coaching, one question comes up again and again: what should I actually be looking at every week?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, breaks down the three numbers every painting contractor should review every single week. And this isn't just for painting companies over $1M. Whether you're running a small crew or a multi-crew residential painting company, these weekly numbers help you catch problems while you can still fix them.Proactive beats reactive, always and forever.What you'll learn in this episode:Revenue produced this month: why tracking completed work and job margins weekly makes crew debriefs faster and more useful than digging into a job six months (and 27 projects) laterRevenue projected for the month: how to check your painting schedule against completed production, find scheduling gaps, and build in buffer for weather and call-outsWhat to adjust when you're off pace: subcontractors, scheduling, or salesThe line between a schedule that's too aggressive and one that's too comfortableRevenue scheduled for next month: how this one number should drive your sales, marketing, and hiring decisions (and give you real peace of mind)How to track future scheduled revenue in your job costing sheet, since most calendars can't do itBonus: why you should know your accurate cash on hand every weekThis episode is for painting contractors and painting company owners across the U.S. and Canada who want to stop being surprised by their own numbers and start running their painting business with a weekly scorecard.
Today our guest is Chris Moore, Director of Behavioral Health at Salem-Keizer Public Schools. Chris shares a poem he wrote and delivered as a commencement address to a cohort of leaders, a piece that started as a love letter to leadership and became a ritual reminder of why educators show up, stay in it, and choose to keep going even when the work is hard. He also reflects on the importance of building space for reflection into the daily and long-term rhythms of leadership, and why giving ourselves and others permission to slow down, sit with what is hard, and surface what is true is not a luxury. It is part of the work itself. In this conversation, Chris offers important reminders for educators and leaders: Staying with people twice as long as anyone ever expects, and loving them anyway, is the anchor that cuts through the noise when the work feels overwhelming. Sacred space for reflection, even just 90 seconds, is a daily leadership habit worth protecting. Without it, the heart-centered part of the work gets crowded out. The work of education is heavy and sacred at the same time. Holding both of those truths together is what sustains leaders for the long haul.

Same-day Amazon shipping. Grocery delivery. Talk-to-text. An air fryer that cooks dinner in 12 minutes. What do they all have in common? Consumers will pay — often irrationally — for comfort and convenience.In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore — founder of Elite Business Advisors and owner of a residential painting company — breaks down why understanding this shift in consumer behavior is one of the biggest untapped opportunities for painting contractors today, and how painting company owners can position their businesses to win more bids by selling an easier experience, not just a better paint job.Chris traces the evolution of convenience — from attached garages replacing detached ones to same-day delivery replacing the weekly grocery run — and applies it directly to how homeowners choose a painting contractor. You'll learn why customers don't want to babysit another contractor, and how removing friction points at every stage of the customer journey can set your painting company apart from every competitor still doing business the old way.What you'll learn in this episode:Why people pay more for convenience than for quality alone — and what that means for pricingHow to meet homeowners where they are: geographically, on their schedule, and with less friction (including self-booking)The friction points killing your close rate: color consultations, communication gaps, and jobsite prepHow to build a value proposition around ease, not just estimatesWhy high communication (like driver tracking and proactive updates) builds trust before you ever pick up a brushThis episode is for painting contractors and painting company owners across the U.S. and Canada who want to understand consumer psychology and use it to win more bids, not just work harder for the ones they get.
Most painting contractors don't start a painting business for 90-hour weeks — they start it for time and money freedom. So why do so many end up doing estimates at 9 PM, taking customer calls on weekends, and covering jobs when a painter doesn't show?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore — founder of Elite Business Advisors and owner of a residential painting company — breaks down the Buyback Principle: the framework Elite Business Advisors has used to help hundreds of painting contractors remove themselves from the daily grind and run their painting company like a CEO instead of its hardest-working employee.You'll hear the real story of a painting contractor who went from 4 employees, $500K in revenue, and 80-90 hour weeks — taking home about the same as his own painters — to scaling toward $1.3M by fixing his job costing, pricing, and delegation.What you'll learn in this episode:How to calculate your Buyback Rate (and your ideal Buyback Rate)Why a simple 2-week time audit reveals exactly what to delegate or hire forHow to reinvest freed-up time into the high-value work only you should be doingWhy "I can't afford to hire for this" is the myth keeping painting contractors stuckThe job costing and pricing fixes that unlocked growth for one painting companyThis episode is for painting contractors and painting company owners across the U.S. and Canada who are ready to build a business that runs without them — not one that runs them into the ground.
What's the story you're telling yourself about your painting business — and is it true?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, breaks down the #1 factor that determines whether a painting contractor succeeds: mindset. Not capital, not crew size, not experience — the internal stories painting company owners tell themselves every day about their ability to lead, grow, and scale.Chris walks through a practical, three-step framework any painting contractor can use to take control of their thinking and, in turn, their results:Awareness — Learn to catch the "lies" you believe about yourself as a business owner (a concept borrowed from Craig Groeschel), and why one bad moment doesn't make you a bad leader, bad boss, or bad painting contractorRewire — Use "I am" statements, affirmations, and gratitude practices to physically rewire the brain out of negative thought ruts — even when it feels uncomfortable or "dumb"Never Stop — Understand why mindset work isn't a one-time fix but an infinite game every painting business owner has to keep playingIf you're a painting contractor who feels like something invisible is holding your business back — even when the numbers, the crew, and the systems are in place — this episode gets to the root cause.Your thoughts control your actions. Your actions control your habits. Your habits control your results. Change starts here.

You send your project manager — or go yourself — to check in on a jobsite. You get a great report back. Everything looks fine. Then a week later, it's not fine at all. Sound familiar? In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, breaks down the real reason jobsite check-ins fail: a lack of intentionality about what's actually being checked.By popular demand, this episode wraps up the Production SOP series with the Check-In Checklist — the exact list of what should be evaluated every single time you or your project manager sets foot on a jobsite mid-project.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "it looks great" isn't a real jobsite report — and how vague check-ins let problems slip through until it's too lateThe 7-point Check-In Checklist — the specific areas every jobsite visit should cover, including: Client — guiding the color conversation, walking finished areas together, and gauging communicationBudget/Progress Plan — staying on track against the project planPunchlist walkthrough — catching issues early instead of at closeoutSOP adherence — is the crew actually following your documented process?Jobsite cleanliness and organizationSafety checkGetting content — the step contractors forget most, and the one that fuels your marketingWhy structure beats good intentions — a business without systems is just a job, and the Check-In Checklist is what keeps quality consistent instead of accidentalWhat happens when you skip even one item — why every point on this list matters on its own, not just as a groupThis episode closes out the 3-part Production SOP series. If you haven't caught the first two, go back and listen to the Job Start SOP and Job Closeout SOP episodes — together, these three form a complete framework for running consistent, professional projects from kickoff to final walkthrough.Connect with Chris Moore and Elite Business Advisors:@elitebusinessadvisors on all social platformswww.elitebusinessadvisors.com to learn more about how they help Painting Contractors all over North America!This is the Elite Business Advice Podcast — practical business strategy for painting contractors who want to run a tighter, more profitable operation.#PaintingContractor #PaintingBusiness #SOP #PaintingCompany #ContractorTips #BusinessAdvice #CashflowManagement

There's one fundamental thing that trips up 95% of painting contractors — the Job Closeout SOP. In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, breaks down exactly what a Job Closeout SOP should look like for your painting company, and why the process actually starts on day one of the project — not the last day.This is part 2 of a two-part Production SOP series. Last week covered the Job Start SOP; this week Chris focuses on the end of the customer experience — the walkthrough, the payment collection, and everything in between that determines whether a project closes clean or drags on with touchups, callbacks, and late payments.In this episode, you'll learn:· Why closeout problems are really structure problems — if you're dealing with late payments, callbacks, or crews saying "done" when it isn't, it likely traces back to a missing closeout process· Why the Job Closeout SOP starts on day one — setting expectations for the final walkthrough and payment collection before a single wall is painted· The 24-hour check-in — how to find out if the homeowner will be present for the final walkthrough, and how to problem-solve if they won't be· The 45-minute walkthrough script — exactly what to say to the homeowner as your crew leader or PM wraps up touchups, invoicing, and payment· How to build in reviews and referrals — using the walkthrough moment to hand off a Google Review postcard and introduce your Advocate discount program· Why mini-walkthroughs throughout the project make closeout easier — and how to avoid a chaotic final day· What closeout impacts — your mental bandwidth, your cashflow, and your scheduleWhether you're closing out jobs yourself or handing that responsibility to a crew leader or PM, this episode gives you a repeatable framework to protect your cashflow, your reputation, and your peace of mind on every project.Missed part 1?

She discusses how to keep exams inclusive, why she believes they remain the fairest way of testing students' abilities - and the challenges facing assessors in the age of artificial intelligence.

Chris Moore is an author, remodeling contractor, and a man with a message that everyone needs to hear. Which is that the current cultural narrative that we reach our peak at the age of 40 or 50 and it's all downhill from there is choking the life out of an entire generation. Fortunately, there is a groundswell of seniors who are busting the myths of aging and choosing to age out loud and proud instead of fading quietly into the sunset, with Chris leading the way. He is the author of the book titled "Age Out Loud," where he speaks from his life experience working with seniors as a remodeling contractor and to show the way how we can all make the rest of our lives the best of our lives. He is also the host of the "Aging in Place is a Team Sport" podcast. Chris shares his remarkable story along with his valuable insights and positive, uplifting perspective on aging, including that we get to choose every aspect of our life experiences and how we respond to them, the importance of intergenerational relationships, how the smallest of gestures can have a tremendous positive effect on others, that we are only as limited as we believe we are, and so much more! Download this episode and share it with your friends and family to discover how we can all age out loud and proud. Great stuff!

What happens when you put a bad apple next to a perfectly good one? It doesn't take long to find out — and the same principle applies to your team.In this episode, Elite Business Advisors founder Chris Moore breaks down the "Bad Apple Theory" and why protecting your crew, your culture, and your rock stars is one of the most important things you can do as you head into busy season. One toxic, negative, or underperforming employee doesn't just drag themselves down — they can quietly rot the whole bunch.Chris covers why the worst business decisions get made in moments of desperation, and why keeping someone around simply because you feel like you "need" them is a strategy that almost always backfires. He shares a practical framework for how to handle bad apples the right way — from proper HR documentation and write-ups to employment agreements and employee handbooks — so that when it's time to act, you're protected and prepared.The hard truth? No client has ever regretted letting the bad apple go. Productivity goes up. Morale goes up. And your best people — the ones you actually depend on — finally get to thrive.If you're a painting contractor managing a crew this season, this episode is a timely reminder: don't let one person's attitude or performance undermine everything you've worked to build.Topics covered:· Why bad apples spread — and how fast it happens· The real cost of keeping underperformers out of desperation· How to isolate a problem employee and evaluate whether they can be salvaged· Building a termination plan backed by documentation· Protecting your culture, your reputation, and your rock starsInterested in seeing how we help our clients?

Most entrepreneurs know they should prioritize their health — but knowing and doing are two very different things. In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore pulls back the curtain on the health and fitness journey he's been on this year and shares the three things that have actually produced real, consistent results.Chris breaks down why tracking macros — not just calories — changed everything, how he's using tools like ChatGPT and MacrosFirst to take the guesswork out of nutrition, and why pre-logging meals is one of the most powerful habits you're probably not doing. He also gets into the mental benefits of working out 3–4 times per week, why not blowing the diet matters more than not missing a workout, and the role that accountability has played in keeping the momentum going through 6:30 AM morning check-ins and shared wins.If you've been putting your health on the back burner while building your business, this episode is your permission slip to make it a priority — and a practical roadmap for doing it in a way that's actually sustainable.
Is your bank account actually growing this busy season — or are you just staying busy?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, Chris Moore breaks down the financial framework every painting contractor needs to maximize busy season profits. Because working harder doesn't automatically mean keeping more money — and too many contractors reach the end of busy season only to realize they never actually got ahead.Chris walks through three core areas:How to Measure — Get your baseline number: if you closed up shop today, what would you actually have free and clear? Chris explains why tracking this weekly is essential, how receivables distort your cash picture, and why real-time job costing against overhead is the habit that separates true business owners from the ones who stay stuck.How to Plan — Know your cash targets at every stage. Chris shares specific cushion goals and winter targets broken down by company size — from solo operators to $1.5M+ operations — so you know exactly what number you're chasing and how many months of busy season you have left to close the gap.How to Reap Without Guilt — Once your cushion and winter reserves are covered, Chris introduces Profit Account Theory and money management strategies — including high-yield savings, investments, and building additional income streams — so you can finally benefit as an owner without second-guessing every dollar you take home.If you're putting in the hours this busy season, this episode makes sure you see the fruits of your labor.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Guilt can feel uncomfortable and easy to push away, but it is one of those emotions that actually serves an important purpose in our lives.For this episode, Debbie sits down with developmental psychologist Chris Moore, author of The Power of Guilt, to unpack what guilt really is and why it plays such an important role in our lives and relationships. Informed by both research and personal experience, Chris offers a perspective that might completely change how you see this emotion.You'll come away with an understanding of where guilt comes from, how it shows up in everyday life, from childhood to parenting to relationships, and why some people feel it more than others. They also get into topics like apology, forgiveness, and how guilt can actually help us repair and strengthen connections. Listen and Learn: How a single life-altering mistake shaped how Chris understands guilt, responsibility, and forgivenessHow guilt quietly reveals the hidden ways our most important relationships shape what we feel and why we're driven to repair something we might not fully understand yetDoes the guilt you feel over small things like unfinished chores reveal deeper, hidden influences from the relationships that shaped your internal rules and standards?Why feelings like guilt begin much earlier than we assume and later grow into something far more complex and central to relationshipsWhy some people feel guilt far more intensely than others, and how personality, relationships, and even gender differences quietly shape that experience in ways you might not expectWhy feeling like you are never doing enough as a parent might actually come from the very nature of caring for someone vulnerable, and what that reveals about guilt being more automatic than accurateHow guilt can quietly become a tool of control when forgiveness is withheldHow ideas like restorative justice and even collective guilt reshape the way we understand responsibility and emotional repair in societyWhy guilt, though uncomfortable, can actually serve as a powerful internal signal that helps us recognize when a valued relationship may need attention and guide us toward repairing and strengthening itResources:The Power of Guilt: Why We Feel It and Its Surprising Ability to Healhttps://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781637747728Chris' Website: https://www.chrislmoore.comConnect with Chris on Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/mfwguilthttps://www.instagram.com/chrismooreauthorphd/About Chris MooreDr. Chris Moore is a professor of psychology and former dean of science at Dalhousie University in Canada, as well as a former Canada Research Chair at the University of Toronto.
