If you enjoy reading at all, I'd really suggest reading this book about selling (the Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino). For me, this was one of the easiest books that had a great storyline about how to become the best seller. I bought a copy and passed it around to several people. Its something you can read in one or two nights and something I'm pretty sure you will pass along as well.
Something else that was pretty fun is "the Little Red Book of Selling" Of the two, I really suggest the first.
Kind Regards,
John

Hey Scott
After using powder release what do u do to remove it? Do u just vaac it off or do u spray it down? Some people say it's enough to just shop vac it off but I feel like there s still a bunch of it on there . . .

hey there will!
usually do what i can to wash it down but in home a good vacing and alittle brush off with a fox tail works besides when you color if theres still some there it changes up the color a bit and can lead to cool looking color effects .

hey there drazen!! sometimes some of us make it ourselves i believe for mostly practice and things but for jobs most use a pre mix bag. as for tools i would say there fairly cheap . if you can afford it get a subscription to the vertical artisans training site it has a wealth of knowledge on how to do many things including some basic tools.

Hello Scott, what's up? I was thinking about your comment about doing signs in FL. What if you showed what you could do to the right sign company, maybe with a pic of Jeff's, then let them do the framework, epoxying rebar into concrete, then what you are doing is just faux-finish work over what should be a very easy to approve structure. You could turn the sign co loose to sell your work, or you could do the sales, then use them for the initial phase that had to have the licensing. Sometimes legal approval is all in the lingo used. Maybe it's not concrete work, it's faux finish! I don't imagine there's a Miami-Dade hurricane code requirement for faux, is there? Hmmm...
