I am very impatient and can't help myself.
This is a sneak peak of my next FREE spreadsheet. It's a very basic Interior only, quote page. There are Drop Down boxes in the light grey cells where you can change the sizes of the trim-work, the number of coats, the time taken to do each substrate, the drum size and the spread rate. All you have to do is fill out the square metres and amount, the cost of the material and your hourly charge. It will automatically fill to give you the litres needed and the material and labour cost. I am just doing a Power Point Video explanation and will share it with you next week.

I have been learning first hand many of the things you talk about in the book, like the effect that good presentation has on giving the customer confidence in you, it’s great to have that book as a bit of a reference when I'm thinking about ways to improve what I'm doing.

As of December this year, it will be 50 years since I started my painting career as I wasn't smart enough to continue at school (which is Year 11 now-a-days). It was kindly announced by Jason Osborn at the D/A Conference that my latest book, '50 Years A House Painter' had recently been released. There are 35 topicstopics under the main headings of, Business Checklist, Staff, Marketing & Sourcing Customers, Professional Behaviour, Successful Operation, Looking Ahead, Men's Health & Quick Tips For Business. There are also 11 interesting articles around the painting trade which are for a great read.

Garth Clarke (Dulux State Manager) was so pleased with it, he purchased copies to give to all his State Reps so they can better understand their own paint account holders. It has different content to my first book 'How To Become A Really Successful Painter', which was also purchased by Dulux around 11 years ago. 2,400 of those copies were given out to reps and final stage apprentices around Australia and New Zealand. I even met a lady at the conference who remembers receiving one from TAFE when she was an apprentice.

The cost is $29.90 so if you would like a copy or want more information, please let me know or go to my website at www.mytools4business.com and follow the links. (It is downloadable onto your computer).

I just found this which is something I wrote many years ago. My feeling hasn't changed. Hope you agree.
Success in business isn’t about how many people you have working for you or how much money you’re making. Success is your working quality of life. Being stress free, working reasonable hours, enough work to keep the business operating, having happy customers, happy employees, making more than if you were on wages and of course, having plenty of time to spend with your family.
