Your posts remind me of a few other anecdotes I've heard:
-If you talk about price, you've already lost. Sell what makes you different. "Niche Down" https://www.amazon.com/Niche-Down-Become-Legendary-Different-ebook/dp/B07FLKJJQQ
-There are 3 criteria people look for when hiring for a job: Whether you do quality work, are you likable, and do you finish on time. Having all 3 qualities is obviously the best. Most customers will tolerate you only having 2/3, but few will deal with you if only have 1 of 3. (Can't recall who told me that).
Hmmm, number one thing that maximized growth? Automation. I've automated nearly 75% of my business. It's allowed me to scale up, only employ myself and my wife and focus on growing my business through marketing. I've automated everything from invoicing to monthly reports to shipping to follow up emails and drip campaigns. There are endless automated tools currently available, some are even free.
Craigslist writing section, look within 500 mile radius. Somebody is probably looking for a blogger for SEO or for page content. Write.Truth said:
As a painting contractor, all of my work comes from referals or returning customers. I've created a great rapor with my local supply chain which refers me daily. I've strived in my field by being honest, done quality work on schedule, and at a reasonable price. I'm not the cheapest, nor the most expensive at what I do. I will always try something once, if it is worth it. There's a lot of competition, but when I drive down the street I say, 'there's a house, theres a house, there's a house'. At this time I am booked solid 2 months out, and have been the last 1.5 years. I've never advertised, don't have a FB, insta page, or a website, (which I will do at some point) I really need to hire more help, cause the estimates/work just keps coming! However, hiring more guys doesn't always translate to making more $$. Kinda at a crossroad. Finally, it is really nice when we've transformed someones property in a way they are really happy with, and then I GET PAID!!!!
1) Do good work, be aware of clients needs and know where the boundaries are and how far you can push them.
2) Word of mouth
I've never got a job by calling people or networking, it's tedious and I suck at it.

Let me take guess. Too much liberal tears during power luncheon turn off your potential client?
I don't take power luncheons.
Also, I don't work with Trumptards, mainly smart people.
I'm lucky that my industry is like that.
Well, I've been self-employed for 25 years and made many friends in the process.
I've never got a job by cold calling people.
When you're good at what you do, you don't have to suck dick to get work. It just happens.
But what if your only real paying skill is sucking dicks? (I am assuming being an argumentative know-it-all asshole is just your hobby.)
You have 850 troll posts filled strictly with personal insults.
Glass houses and all that.
