Mike’s Solo – How To Grow Your Painting Business By Making Smarter Decisions (The RTV Filter)

Recognize that not making a decision is a decision itself, often leading to stagnation; prioritize swift, informed decision-making.

Implement the RTV (Raise Revenue, Save Time, Align with Vision) filter for all significant business decisions to evaluate their long-term impact.

Before making a large purchase like a boom lift, calculate potential cost savings, revenue increase, and time efficiencies using the RTV filter.

Evaluate problematic employees through the RTV filter, considering if their short-term revenue contribution outweighs long-term time drain, team morale impact, and vision misalignment.

Commit fully to decisions once made, acting as if they are 'one-way doors' to maximize implementation and avoid constant re-evaluation.

Develop a clear long-term vision (1, 3, 5, 10 years) for your company, as the RTV filter requires a defined vision for effective alignment assessment.
