"I just completed the 4 Week Profit Planning Class and have gotten so much more than expected. The class was a great sharing experience among all contractors where Linnea led discussion of topics beyond the curriculum as they were brought up. After a review of my financials and in depth training on chart of accounts, P&L, breakeven and cash flow, I have a detailed budget based on planned revenue, crew requirements and leads needed. This really is a plan for the new year, with the ability to track and adjust as needed. And Linnea always reviewed my individual progress outside of the classes!"

I acquired Beach Painting Contractors in December 2013. In my professional career I had experience overseeing the management of multi-million dollar construction projects and I understood the various aspects of financial and performance monitoring, but I did not have the software or development tools to implement these monitoring procedures in my new endeavor.

Thankfully, Linnea Blair and Advisors on Target had already developed these tools.

I have found the Sales & Marketing, Financial Monitoring, and Job Profitability programs to be extremely user-friendly. The programs can be easily tailored to suit the user and they provide all the relevant information I need to effectively monitor and manage my business. The data entry is relatively simple and can be delegated to administrative personnel.

At a glance, I can see the return on my marketing efforts and determine which items in my marketing budget are dollars well spent, I can obtain an accurate monthly snapshot of my company’s financial health, and I can determine the profitability of specific employees.

It would have taken me a lifetime to develop anything this comprehensive on my own, so it was a blessing to have these tools at my disposal from the start. They have been essential to my success as an entrepreneur.

I would recommend these tools to any contractor.

As a business owner I first worked with Linnea of Advisors on Target when we were about a $500k family business and now we look to break a million in sales. The Business Health Checkup has been a great asset to my entrepreneur and management needs.

Linnea’s expertise is extremely helpful. The relevant reports developed from my data are wonderfully organized and are very helpful in guiding my decisions. The comparison ratios are great for a reality check and give me confidence in pursuing business changes. I find Advisors On Target to be a great value and very worthy of the fair pricing.

Linnea is very professional and knows what is best for your business. I've known her for almost 3 years now. She is always there to answer any questions and is very attentive with everyone. We have a number of mutual clients, and not only am I always satisfied with the service she provides but I hear it from everyone else. She also gives complimentary consultations which to me is a huge deal.

I've worked with Linnea for a little over 3 years and she's been an invaluable resource to help me successfully manage my business while maintaining good life balance. She's helped me with business planning, time management, understanding my financials, effectively marketing, implementing tracking and effectively recruiting and hiring talent. All these things have helped me and my wife run a better business while expanding the free time we have to spend with our family and friends.

Linnea is by far the best resource to help Painting Contractors to understand their numbers. What you focus on grows and expands, and Linnea will help you grow and expand your business. Her individual attention and knowledge of running a painting business, even within a group coaching program, is the best support any painting contractor can ask for!

With so much focus on day-to-day operations and monthly and quarterly goals, it can be easy to lose sight of the big picture. Linnea’s 10 Year Projection Tool not only shows you where you could be (based on real data and a steady growth rate), but will help you determine where you want to be 5, 7,and even 10 years down the road. Knowing what the future holds based on present revenue and manpower has been instrumental in shaping our future - the more you know, the easier it becomes to successfully grow.

I have utilized Linnea Blair's guidance through Advisors on Target to find and understand my company's numbers. Prior to meeting Linnea, I was shooting from the hip. She has walked me through finding my numbers, utilizing a budget and best of all, educated me on knowing my numbers and what they mean. I highly recommend Advisors On Target as a business coach.

"I have been attending Linnea's small business coaching for about 8 months now. We meet once a month for 90 minutes. The members of the group come from a variety of business sectors, with Linnea moderating the meetings. Any member can bring an idea for the group to give feedback, and we provide each other support. It's like having your own board of directors. Linnea is fabulous in giving you feedback, suggestions, and follow up with you to make sure you are accomplishing your goals for the month. Linnea, and the group, has given me the confidence to hire a new employee and grow my business as a result. Linnea is an awesome business coach and I look forward to a continued relationship with her!"

"There is a lot to like about Advisor’s On Target 10 week intensive “Chart Your Course to Business Success” by Linnea Blair. In particular, the homework assignments are key to being proactive in developing you business plan. I found Linnea’s presentation to be thought provoking, insightful, and chock-full of useful knowledge towards business development. In addition, to listen and learn from peers in the business to always useful. I would highly recommend this course to any small business owner looking for a key to success."
