As we begin a new year we must reflect on the year that past and how well we feel that our business lived up to (0r down to)our expectations. We must ask ourselves did we do all we could to put our company name in front of as many potential customers last year as we possibly could.
We must learn from our past failures & our successes and try to help or business grow in every way we can. Here are some questions to ask yourself heading into the new year:
.Did my Business grow this year?
.What was my estimate to sales ratio?
.Were my customers happy with the service I gave?
.Do I need to upgrade my equipment?
.What are my businesses main strengths & weaknesses?
.Did I start my marketing plan early enough?
. Do I need to hire more employees?
.Do I need to cut back on my employees?
There are plenty more that I did not cover but you get the idea. Look within your company and I'm sure that you will be able to identify the things you need to work on to make your business a success in the coming year.
Good Luck.

Chosing The Right Equipment
Merry Christmas everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I certainly did. I know that for most of us parents we only have a great Christmas when we get up Christmas morning and we see the happy & excited looks on our kids faces and know that they received everything that they had hoped for.
But there are some of you that enjoy treating yourselves to something special, or maybe your spouse has been saving to get you that show stopper gift that would make your painting biz run that much smoother. Well I say congrats if you got that gift and you had that look of excitement on you face that our kids get.
The reason I bring this up is that whether it's Christmas or just another day of the week you need to make sure you pick the proper tools to help you succeed, too many people don't put enough thought into picking the right equipment and that just leads to them having to buy something else to compensate for what they bought to begin with.
Take the time to research an important tool Before you (or someone else)purchases it.
Hey we all have the most incredible research tool at our disposal and that's the Internet.
Make intelligent decisions before we plunk down our hard earned cash and that will actually save us money in the long run.
Have a Happy & safe Holiday Season.
