Introduction
In many ways, the story I’m about to tell you isn’t unique. There have always been ordinary people like myself, building successful businesses, taking what they have and turning it into something special. I wanted to share my story because I truly believe that with the right attitude and plenty of hard work, anyone can get out there and make money. There is no secret to it, only perseverance, pragmatism and that special element - really phenomenal customer service. I want to share with you in this short book everything I’ve learned being in the painting business for over three decades now. If you are looking to start your own painting business, or if you have a business that you are trying to grow, this book can help you. Even if you’re trying to make money in some other industry, I believe these principles are the key to developing your skill and reputation as an entrepreneur who delivers real value to his clients.

I would show up day after day and do my thing, but I always felt trapped there, quietly making money for someone else. Just a year and a half into my adult working life, I knew that corporate America was not for me.
You could say I’ve always had a restless spirit, and eventually I left the newspaper company and started
