While Everyone Fights Over Restaurants and Retail, Smart Entrepreneurs Are Quietly Building Wealth in This $11 Billion Industry – WITHOUT Prior Knowledge or Experience…
How I Turned a 30-Year Military Coating Secret Into a Franchise Empire (And Why Smart Entrepreneurs Are Ditching Corporate to Join Me)
Why smart entrepreneurs are abandoning overcrowded markets for exclusive eco-friendly technology that lets them charge premium prices while competitors struggle with toxic alternatives.
In 2011 I stumbled onto an eco-friendly coating technology that has since become the bedrock of my business.
We’ve secured contracts that have had us using this coating on everything from garage floors and industrial sites, to warships and sports stadiums.
But here’s the kicker – this technology has never been available to regular business owners.
Not through Home Depot. Not online. Not through any other franchise system.
I knew I was sitting on something special, but I also knew that most people (like you, probably) don’t wake up thinking “I want to start a coatings business.”
What you DO wake up thinking is:
“I’m tired of making someone else rich.”
“I want to build something for myself and my family.”
“I want the freedom that comes with owning my own business, but I don’t want to figure everything out from scratch.”
After 5 years of building my franchise system, I now have 35 territory owners across 20 states who’ve discovered what I discovered: Sometimes the best business opportunities are hiding in industries you never considered.
In this deep dive, I’ll share exactly how I turned military-grade technology into a franchise system that’s generating serious wealth for people who’ve never touched a coating brush in their lives.
Actual First Year Franchise Results
The “I Don’t Know Anything About That Industry” Problem (And Why It’s Actually Your Biggest Advantage)
Here’s what most aspiring entrepreneurs get wrong: They think they need to be an expert in an industry before they can succeed in it.
So they research restaurants (because everyone eats), retail (because everyone shops), or consulting (because they think it’s easy).
What they don’t realize is they’re walking into overcrowded, low-margin battlefields where experience barely matters because everyone’s competing on price.
Thirty years ago, I was a chemist who knew nothing about coatings. I just knew I was tired of building someone else’s dream and wanted to control my own destiny.
When I discovered this coating technology, my first thought wasn’t “I should start a coatings business.” It was “Holy crap, if this stuff is this good, why isn’t everyone using it?”
That’s when I realized I had stumbled onto something most people never find: An industry with massive demand, premium pricing, and almost zero competition because the technology was locked away.
What did I do with this discovery? I don’t wanna sound like I’m bragging but… let the numbers speak:
- 35 territory owners earning consistent profits (many with zero prior experience)
- $11 billion market growing to $18 billion by 2030
- Premium pricing power because we’re the only franchise offering this technology
- Territory owners making $200K-$400K annually while toxic competitors struggle
How did I turn “I don’t know anything about coatings” into a thriving business and franchise system?
I used the same approach successful franchisors have used for decades: Take proven systems and make them simple enough for smart people to execute without being experts.
Does “I’ve Never Done This Before” Actually Matter?
I can hear you thinking:
- “This sounds interesting, but I don’t know anything about coatings or construction.”
- “Won’t I be competing against people who’ve been doing this for decades?”
Well, here’s something that might surprise you.
My most successful territory owners are the ones who DIDN’T have coating experience.
Why? Because they don’t have bad habits to unlearn. They’re not stuck thinking “this is how it’s always been done.”
The environmental story becomes the differentiator that makes technical expertise irrelevant.Think about it: When you’re the only person in your market offering zero-odor, lifetime-warrantied coatings, customers don’t care if you’ve been doing traditional epoxy for 20 years. They care that you’re giving them something better.
Why “Following Your Passion” Is Terrible Business Advice (And What Smart Entrepreneurs Do Instead)
Everyone tells you to “follow your passion” when starting a business.
That’s garbage advice that keeps people broke.
You know what I’m passionate about? Spending time with my family. Financial freedom. Not worrying about money. Building something that matters.
Lucky for all of us, passion doesn’t determine success – market demand, profit margins, and competitive advantages do.
But here’s the beautiful part – most coating companies are still stuck in the dark ages.
They show up in hazmat suits, fill houses with toxic fumes, and offer warranties that expire when problems start appearing.
We show up with our green technology, finish faster, charge premium prices, and offer lifetime protection.
It’s really about understanding market dynamics and letting the competitive advantages speak for themselves.
But This System Doesn’t Work For Everyone…
Lack of experience and knowledge about coatings won’t stop you from being successful, but your mindset might…there are some people who simply aren’t a good fit for this industry.
Here’s who this DOES work for:
✔️ The Corporate Refugee: You’re making good money but tired of building someone else’s dream. You want to control your own destiny but don’t want to start from scratch.
✔️ The Freedom Seeker: You want a business that can run without you being there 60 hours a week. You’re looking for semi-absentee potential.
✔️ The Impact-Minded: You like the idea of offering something that’s genuinely better for families and the environment.
Here’s who this DOESN’T work for:
❌ People looking for a cheap side hustle
❌ Anyone who needs income immediately (this is wealth-building, not survival)
❌ People who aren’t comfortable charging premium pricing
Since we know that an entrepreneur mindset influences success more than industry experience, the best fits are smart people who understand business fundamentals.
Business-friendly mindset beats industry experience every time.
Two Paths Forward
(The Choice Is Yours)
Path #1: Keep Looking
Stay in research mode while opportunities like this get snapped up by people who recognize exclusive technology when they see it.
Continue evaluating “safe” franchise options in overcrowded markets where everyone competes on price and margins shrink every year.
Five years from now, wonder: “What if I had joined that eco-friendly coating system when environmental regulations started favoring sustainable technology?”
Path #2: Take Action
Join 35+ territory owners who recognized that exclusive technology + growing market demand + comprehensive support = sustainable wealth building.
Build something meaningful while creating financial freedom for yourself and your family.
The truth? In five years, you’ll either be running a thriving business with exclusive technology, or you’ll be explaining to yourself why you passed on this opportunity while researching “perfect” options that don’t exist.
Which path aligns with your goals?
