Taking a Break

Hi Everyone,

The news that the corona virus is accelerating means we have to put our boy Scout and girl Scout caps on. We need to begin thinking of a world with possibly many deaths. 18k so far.

How do we communicate to our children. What services will still be available. How will power shift or be influenced.

On that note I suggest you look at our previous post on painter jokes.

Irony is not lost even in the worst times. Can someone wrangle up a book speaking of the Spanish flu or what occurred in 1918 and the years following in terms of geo politics? Can't hurt to learn.

We Get Attention & We're Unique but...

It's well and good to have course sales and make our BioMi feel good about themselves. BUT if our painters don't paint, nothing changes in society. Brain injured or Mentally ill will still be underfunded by government. 7x more individuals with brain injuries will be put in prison. Mentally ill will still have high divorce rates. Why? Because they will not be making a living wage and they'll have tough choices to make about basic survival. Our Painters Need to Paint and Earn Income to Change the World.

Saw this yesterday. Have a look at what the dashboard of a global pandemic looks like. A 17yo from Washington State made this, very cool. A+ kid.

Transition time to a higher bar

Since opening Painttosafety.com we have targeted mainly moderate to low functioning BioMi (Brain injured or Mentally ill). We are now as of this week shifting to target higher functioning individuals. Our target is moderate to high functioning individuals of a BioMi. Higher bar, higher risk.

Jokes for the times...

Painter jokes we got a bunch of 'em. Have a laugh on us!

Here's the skinny on our progress

The skinny on our progress is such that even we are overwhelmed by the great response. We have over 1000 first connections on LinkedIn in mere months. Thank-you - we are blogging furiously. We also contacted non-profits in our city.

Results - 1 client  of many yet to come. We heard you loud and clear. 'We need experience before jump in with a startup.' We also heard what a huge need there is for serving high-functioning and moderate brain injured or mentally ill.

These individuals may have assets, estates, families and children to protect and work for but are struggling maintaining previous skill sets.

Send 'em our way! Painttosafety.com. 

Corona Virus & Painting

It's interesting that painters wear rubber gloves and do not worry about corona virus. We also can work alone or in small groups. Our risk is then greatly lowered. Work away painters no sick days for you!
