How can I re-build my business from ground zero?

Hi my name is Jeremy Lesser, I am the Business Owner/CEO of a small residential painting and home improvements business. I have been in business since 2022. After about a year or so of being in business, I about called it quits and started doing Maintenance Engineering. Well having my own business doing what I love to do the most which is drywall and painting, has been a dream of mine since I first started doing drywall and painting 15+ years ago. I want my business to succeed. I have a perpetual LLC. for my business, so I would like to build my business back and Lord willing watch it grow this time. I have more patience and knowledge in it. How can I build my business with zero income and zero revenue? I have been applying for grants. Please help! Thank you and God Bless.

    Start simple:

    1. Cash first: sell high-ticket one-time services
    2. Lock in recurring or referral on every job = rebook opportunity
    3. Hire for attitude, train the skill
    4. One solid SOP, repeat it perfectly
    5. Track 3 numbers: leads, close rate, job value

    Everything else is noise early on.

    Besides trying to get funding - I would just do good old facebook/instagram advertising, word of mouth referrals, small jobs for friends who can help refer you and boost you on social media.
