Start a Painting Business
Make Money Painting When You Don't Have a Clue Where to Start

Dear Decorative Painter,

Several years ago I decided to launch my own decorative painting business after I'd learned faux finish and decorative painting skills.

I had big goals of making lots of money by creating beautiful painted finishes for my clients. I dreamed of the freedom to set my own hours, to not have to work a 9 to 5 job and to not have a boss dictating my every move.

I could see my goals in front of me so clearly, I could almost taste them....

Then I ran into a huge stumbling block…

I discovered there's not much information readily available on how to start a decorative painting / faux finish business.

Sure there were lots of books on starting other types of businesses. I found books on starting contracting businesses, plumbing businesses and electrical businesses. But none of these had the specific information I was looking for.

I wanted detailed information, such as:

How do estimates and proposals work?

How much should you charge for each job?

How do you find customers -- fast?

What can you do you to get the experience you need?

How do you write a business plan?

How do you setup your portfolio?

How do you get customers when you're not well-known?

I struggled to find the answers...

I had to use different books and sources that were not really relevant to my decorative painting business and change them to make them work for me.

It took a lot of trial and error and much more time than I wanted to get this business up and running. I wasted a good 6 months researching and gathering the information I needed before I finally felt ready to start my business.

That's why, years later, I feel that it's so important to get this information out there into the hands of fellow decorative painters like you who are in the same position I was in.
