Starting a business

My buddy just started a painting business as a side gig and he asked me to help him get it off the ground. I’ve never painted houses but I paint battleships for work so I’m pretty experienced. The conditions are: I have to find the work.
I’m looking for advice on how to grow this business as far as advertising and presentation goes. Any help is appreciated!

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where the disagreement starts That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.

I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why the comments look the way they do Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Stepping back, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

From where I sit, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which makes the reaction pretty predictable This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.

If you zoom out, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At first glance, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why opinions are all over the place That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.

From a practical angle, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which explains why reactions are split Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the wording alone shifts how people read this That’s the key detail here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At this point, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where the disagreement starts Hard to say where this lands long term.

Stepping back, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s what makes this interesting. At least from my perspective.

Bluntly speaking, this reads stronger on paper than in practice

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At first glance, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That part stands out. This probably isn’t the last word on it.

To be fair, the follow-through is what will decide this which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what changes the context. Time will tell.

From where I sit, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that tension shows up immediately Let’s see what happens next.
