Like many people at this time of year, I’ve been making my
list and checking it twice. No; I’m not
talking about the holiday gifts I shared with family, friends and
colleagues. I’m talking about the gift
of change.
It’s a new year, so I’m writing down my list of goals and
improvements I want to make for myself in 2015.
You know … get more exercise,
make some dietary changes, stop a bad habit, etc. I like to think of these positive
changes as an investment in myself. And
then there’s the second list of all the “Honey Do’s” my wife is making for me
as well. Can’t forget those, can I?

If you’re looking to invest in yourself in 2015, one thing
you might consider is to attend Tub King’s Bath and Kitchen Refinishing
Training Class. After gaining hands-on
experience over the course of a weekend, you’ll have the skills and know-how to
improve your income significantly as a certified refinisher. Bath and kitchen refinishing is one of the
hottest trends in the home improvement industry today. Once you’ve attended our interactive class,
you’ll have the in-demand skills to set up your own part- or even full-time
business. Consider the following:
- This service/skill set is in high demand (thousands of people want/need your specialized services)
- It has a high profit margin (50-75% higher than house painting, for example)
- It provides great income potential (some professionals are earning $200/hour or more)
- You save customers money (refinishing vs. remodeling can garner a 70% savings)
- You’re in control of your time and schedule
- You’re able to work in a variety of different markets (residential, commercial, and antique)
Since Tub King has been offering this weekend course over the past 13
years, our refinishing class has been attended by thousands people from all
over the North and South America and even from Europe. The classes are taught at our national
headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida.

FYI: Our HQ isn't too far from the Atlantic Ocean and there’s also a major river, The St. Johns, coursing through the middle of the city. There’s also the Intracoastal Waterway.
Here are some excerpts from a letter we received from a
recent attendee who had driven down from Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the
class:
“… Mike’s teaching techniques exceeded my expectations. The
hands-on teaching was on point … I really learned and appreciated the knowledge
I received. It was definitely worth the $500 investment (plus travel expenses).
I got the same feedback from the rest of the class. Great for networking and
sharing experiences. Those in the trade that haven’t taken your course are
missing out.”

Like many professions, the only way to learn these skills is
by hand-on experience. And that’s exactly what you’ll experience throughout the
course. Imagine going to a doctor and
learning you need to have an operation. “Doctor,” you ask during your pre-op
consultation, “how many of these procedures have you done over the years?” To
which the well-meaning physician replies, “None, but I’ve studied the manual.” Don’t settle for just watching someone else
do this. We insist you get your hands on
it, you put your back into it, and you give it your all. After all, you’re investing in your own
future.
The class is very thorough; no one else offers such a rich and
varied curriculum designed to teach you the skills you’ll need. You’ll personally refinish several antique
clawfoot bathtubs, sinks, countertops and tiles. Here’s an example of what you’ll learn:
- Overview of the Refinishing Industry
- Choosing the right equipment
- Understanding the most reliable coating products
- Refinishing Porcelain (tubs and sinks)
- Striking Gold in Antique Clawfoot Bathtubs
- Refinishing Fiberglass
- Spot repairs
- Cleaners that work
- Refinishing Kitchen Countertops
- Refinishing Appliances
- Refinishing Ceramic Tile
- Refinishing Cabinets
- Proper Prep makes the difference
- Offering multi-speck patterns
- Refinishing concrete
- Bedliners for trucks (this is a separate business all in itself)
- Bathtub conversion for senior citizens (earn up to $700 more)
- How to set up your business properly
- How to market & advertise for the best results
- Strategies that can get you months of work

And it doesn’t stop there.
We also provide Marketing Training with trade secrets that are designed
to help you jump start your business. We
also offer assistance with advertising with brochures, ads, flyers and
more. We provide a free lunch during the
class. Importantly, once the class is
over, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion as a trained refinishing
professional.
It gets better. At
the end of the course, we’ll add you to our database of professional
refinishers. When someone calls us asking if we know of a qualified refinisher
near their home or place of business, we’ll give them your number if you’re
near them.
The intensive, hands-on course costs $495 and requires a
$100 nonrefundable advance deposit. For
your own protection, you must have a proper face mask in order to participate.
If you don’t have one, can you purchase it from our office when you’re here.

Speaking of which, we also sell a variety of
professional-grade refinishing equipment such as the TK8000 Three-stage
Turbine (made specifically for us, hence the TK designation), Apollo SuperSpray
Dual Feed Gun, and a wide range of Apollo chemicals
for a variety of projects, including bathtub refinishing, countertop
refinishing, tile refinishing, concrete staining, truck bed liner coatings,
non-slip coatings and more. Everything you’ll need to get started in this
potentially lucrative industry.
