Excellent Resource for the Decorative Painting Pro

This book contains valuable information on how to make your business profitable. It includes sample contracts (a must for the professional) and tips on accurate record keeping. I have an MBA and feel that my skills in business are high however, I was able to get information from this book that was very useful. It is comprehensive, covering everything from starting your business, marketing, partnerships,and more. There is even a section on the importance of honing your craft. The author includes information on continuing education, recommended reading as well as resources for supplies. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering starting a business of Decorative Painting.

Fauz Finish Business Must Have!

This book has everything in it to help you start your own faux finish or stencilling business. It includes equipment lists, how to name your business, how to set it up, creating contracts, invoicing, business cards and much more. I felt this book was written for me.

Fantastic Book!

I found this book very easy to read. It has a wealth of wonderful information for anyone who wants to start or even improve upon their own faux finishing business. Lynette is able to take you through step by step literally everything you will need to know about operating your own business. I only wish that I would have had this book 25 yr. ago when I started my own faux finishing business. I would have been able to know all the right steps to take without all the years of trial and error that I actually went through. It is obvious that Lynette is a very seasoned professional and she shares all of that expertise with you in this book. I would highly recommend this book for any faux finisher at any level of their career.

If you think you might want to be a pro, get this book.

This is a great book for someone considering becoming a professional stenciler and faux finisher. Lynette clearly spells out how to get your business going and growing.

An encouraging, helpful read.
