Painting your way to success If you’re a small painting business, with only a few staff members, or maybe you’re just a one-man band… there’s no need for systems, right? Wrong. Systems are a quintessential cornerstone for a painter’s business of ANY size in order to be efficient, and therefore successful. A system is the written documentation of an entire process or procedure, from start to finish. It’s a “repeatable way of doing things” that has been perfected for efficiency and success. Without a systemised business, the day-to-day operations live in your head, or are made up as you go along. If you ever want a business that runs efficiently, you need to implement systems into your business TODAY.

Start by deciding who builds systems
If you are a one-man show with no employees, this will be you for obvious reasons. An advantage of this is you have complete control (and probably a better understanding of the tasks) over how everything is systemised. Once you have established who will be creating the systems for each function, communicate this to them. They (or you if you’re the one who does the task) will need to understand: • How to make systems — Is it through a video recording or a step-by-step document? • The positive impact systems will have on your business (why you’re going through the systemisation process).
