How We Got Started
I started painting murals for other people right out of grad school by painting a friend's nursery...that's how it all began :) Little by little I started getting more projects while I was still working my job as an art teacher. I then started taking classes in faux finishing, furniture, venetian plasters, as well as other materials to keep my portfolio up to date.

I think when you're in business, you're doing something related to it constantly, so no weekends off completely for me.

No. I do not want federal government regulations in my small business. I have enough regulations at the state level.

When I make a presentation to a potential client, I show them photos of my work installed in spaces and/or sample boards of actual wall finishes. Part of the meeting process is education the potential client about the limitless possibilities. Once the client says, "Oh, I didn't know you could do this process or this combination." And that's when the real discussion begins.
Ha ha, I just read your question. You are not alone, my friend. My house is half painted! I have paintings--MY artwork--that I have finally gotten back to and none of them are finished. ( I did chuckle about the duct tape.)

I usually just ask. Usually, the client will tell me that he or she will pass my name on to anyone needing work like I do. THAT is the perfect opportunity to ask if they wouldn't mind leaving a review on... Many clients forget that social media is the "new" way of word-of-mouth.

Once you determine who your market is, talk to people such as realtors, house flippers, GC's, anyone in the construction/reno industry and go to local networking groups (meetup has many that are for free, FB does as well.)
Get listed on Google. Get reviewed on there too.
These things will help you establish trust as well as your expertise in your field. Make sure you have your licensure as a Home Improvement Contractor too. I'm sure there are other things I forgot. Good luck and keep us posted!
I just show them my portfolio. My work speaks for itself.
