The dream of a paperless business…

I’ve always been fond of technology and how it can improve our lives. It is a natural fit for me, however I lacked the time needed to find the right programs.

Way back in 1996, I started my painting business or

better yet,

I started painting and knew nothing about building a business.

I was young, eager and proved a strong work ethic with a keen eye for painting.

I loved painting long hours but then

dreaded

writing bids and all the office paperwork.

I remember the day I found handwritten NCR forms!

It worked well when it was just me and a couple guys, even though my handwriting was similar to a raccoon gone wild with an open paint bucket.. but that’s another story.

My business grew and lessons were learned, maybe more than once.

In 2004, I read the book the E-Myth, which changed how I viewed and operated my business forever.

Business Systems became my focus and my business grew, and with it the paperwork!

Enter Steve Burnett in 2014 with high tech solutions for my archaic paper wasting business.

I was already using my iPad to do my bids but I was missing crucial pieces of software to complete my paperless painting business dream.

With the help of Steve, I was able to rid myself of countless hours of paperwork, running job folders to crew leaders, printing countless job information.

We implemented the digital time clock and job management software recommended to us by Steve. We now run everything through our iPads and iPhones. This has freed up valuable time to sell more jobs, manage jobs easier, and increase profit.

 

Thanks to Steve, 2015 is our best net profit in the history of ESP Painting.

 

I’m looking forward to implementing more of his tested strategies, so I can work on my business and not in it.

Now, our paper of choice is 12″ brown!  I guess I will never get rid of all the paper….

About the Author

As many of you know, my journey has been one of grit, grace, and transformation. At 19, I was a high school dropout, single father, and struggling paint contractor in Michigan. I later moved to Florida, where I faced both personal and professional hardships. With nothing left to lose, I turned to prayer—and was blessed with a relentless hunger to learn. I devoured books, attended seminars, and discovered better ways to streamline and grow my business—even through the Great Recession (and yes, I did hit the wife lottery along the way!). In 2014, I published How To Double Your Business and later sold the painting business, launching a new chapter: coaching others to grow their businesses. For the past 10 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping business owners scale through the DYB System, while also drawing from frameworks like EOS, Scaling Up, and The Four Disciplines of Execution. Yet something was still missing—something more adaptive, integrated, and complete. Then I found Pinnacle. After months of research and interviews with other Guides, I joined Pinnacle. Their tools and strategies have exceeded every expectation. Now, as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help leadership teams implement a custom-tailored operating system that draws from the best in the industry—but flexes with your unique business. It’s a dynamic, proven approach to achieve clarity, momentum, and lasting growth. I’m no longer taking on any more 1:1 coaching clients… Instead, I now specialize in working with visionary business owners who are ready to get their leadership teams aligned—around a clear vision, a focused strategy, and an actionable execution plan. With the tools and process I now have as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help turn alignment into momentum, and momentum into results. If your business is growing—but your leadership team isn’t fully rowing in the same direction—let’s talk.
