This book is drawn from several years of field experience. It has been said that a smart man learns from his own mistakes, while a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. Learn from our mistakes and avoid the pitfalls common to many start-up businesses.
There is vast, vast market potential out there. This business offers great income possibilities, while working flexible hours. Start-up costs are low and there are great training programs available. But a formal training program won't be enough. Our manual addresses two audiences. First, there are those contemplating getting into the business. This book can help you decide if this business is for you. Secondly, it was written for those just getting started. I am sharing with you several years of my experience. I am including what I learned from other refinishers.
Formal training programs don't teach you enough about the kinds of work out there, who your best customers are, or what their expectations will be. We feature tips about maintaining and using equipment, while explaining more about the process. Our suggestions for marketing your business will help it grow more quickly. When I first started I didn't realize how much there was to know. We want to help you condense the learning curve.
