As 2026 gets underway and we move past “Quitters Day,” it’s time to talk about something more powerful than motivation or New Year’s resolutions: awareness. In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore explains why simply seeing the truth—in your personal life and your business—can create massive change without complex systems or willpower.

You’ll learn which personal and business metrics every painting contractor should be tracking in 2026, how to build simple dashboards to create clarity, and why awareness alone often leads to better choices, stronger leadership, and improved results. If you want more control, less stress, and a clearer path forward this year, this episode will help you start by simply paying attention.
