This is my website for the Bulletproof Handyman that I built on Wix. It currently hosts the Master Class but soon will grow to include much more.

I've been a computer administrator, making good money for the last 30 years. I hate it. I always loved working with my hands. I fix everything around my house. Plumbing, electrical, yard, tile, drywall, ac... I've thought for a while, that I would be much happier working for myself, even if it was less money. Thanks for your channel.

When someone tells me that they know someone else that is charging half of my price I just simply tell them... GREAT!!!! Give them the job, I'm to busy right now and I can't take a cut in pay anyhow. I have learned that most of the time these are the type of people that will give me more problems than what the I'm getting paid and never service them ever. Those are the ones that believe they can dictate how much your worth. Believe me there are more customers out there that will pay you better.

Hello sir! Im 2 months into my handyman business. Its been crazy sofar! Lots of great clients sofar and alot of wasted time dealing with people that dont want to pay what im worth. I got on as a sub for a hvac company that has given me some work and just signed on with 2 other property management companies. I hope i can manage all 3 at once while still being present for my kids. You deff need to have a thousand or two at any given time for materials. Im absolutely loving my new life as a self employed handyman. Prior to this i was a part time $20 hr maintenance tech. $80 a day. Now i make between 0-500 a day. I know im cheap but i also have more free time than money currently. I love your content bevause i can envision myself in your shoes in a few years from now. Thankyou

The AI writing is on the wall for I.T. workers. As a kid I went to tech school for building/cabinet making and started my 1st business repairing mobile homes at 15 years old. Joined the Navy and caught a lucky break that started my IT career. Now at 60 and getting laid off for the first time I have just launched my HandyMan journey, maybe closing the loop of what I always wanted to do when I began my life.

Stumbled on your channel, subscribed and feel great knowing you are there providing this $1m content.

Audio and presentation is too notch and good. Looks like you fixed it. You are a great teacher

I might be the only girl on this channel but as the owner of a husband/wife HM business this is 100% what we have been doing since we started in March, and the property managers have been coming to us….its crazy but awesome and profitable. This validated what we’ve been doing. Thank you for your time and eloquent presentation! 👏🏻

I recently emailed about 10 property management companies that I found by doing an internet search. I've already got a small job with one of them and I've been added to the vendor list with 3 others. I was surprised how easy it was.

[ReneBalderas-iz]

You have have opened my eyes, my friend.

[supermaple]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you very very very much. You are a very honest man and I appreciate you very much. I’m a resident superintendent in New York City for a big residential complex of 220 units. It has been my passion for the last 4 years to just leave and go, work on my own being a handyman Your video has now become my last frontier and I’m going to take that leap. Thank you very much. You’ve helped me a lot. You are my final push and I wish you much more success much love and peace out, brother.

You are so nice for caring about others and helping them.

Hey man. I really appreciate you sharing your stories. I started my handyman business almost a year ago and it's been a rollercoaster trying to make it a more stable business. Your insight is unbelievably valuable to me, especially on those tough days when it all doesn't seem worth it. But I know it is because it is already giving me the life that I've been wanting to live for so long. I came from a project management career and just couldn't let it suck out my soul anymore. I'm just wired differently I guess. This handyman work gives me so much purpose and spark. It's given me the freedom and autonomy I've always wanted in those corporate roles. I'm not sure where this road will take me, but your videos are inspiring. Keep it going!

[eduardorichardson]

Hey Bruh,
I truly appreciate your transparency. I've been a handyman for over 10 years, and have develop some unbelievable skills, and broaden my imagination. I presently a Gov. contractor, and I make decent money, but it's sedentary, 12-hour days, and I felt like I'm wasting away. I do try to use my time wisely by researching and studying new and different ways to improve my skills. I'm ready to pull the trigger on forming a business and doing what I really believe I'm created for. But the WIFE is uses to a steady, direct deposit income. How can I convince her that this is a good move?

You are just telling a story of staring your business, but it's really valuable content! So many helpful things for someone staring what will become a real business. Things I wish I would have heard when I was starting mine. It's very encouraging too, which I feel is important for everyone to hear. Take care. I look forward to the next.

[zeoliz]

Hi Mr. Duke! I just discovered your channel and can't get enough! I'm a budding handy man who's in the research faze of starting my own handy man business. I'd just like to thank you for creating such a comprehensive channel to help guide me through the process. Your information is not only thorough and riveting but you articulate the process in a way that I can understand easily, keeps me interested, motivated and confident about moving forward! What an amazing job you've done creating these videos! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Finding someone trustworthy and responsible enough to fill your shoes while you are taking a vacation is the ticket

[mp]

I’m looking at starting a handyman business, and I’ve watched a few of your videos and have already learned so much! I’ve heard you mention trip minimums and trip costs a few times, do you have a video or anything that explains how to set trip minimums and how/when to charge a trip charge and how much it should be?

[jasonbaxter]

I hate to say most companies are moving to in-house by the hr. I don't know about your state. But in Houston it's going full steam for companies going in-house.

I appreciate you taking time out of your life to help other people. I am a 20 year plus electrician. I have been building my handyman company for about 4 years. In the last year I have only worked for my own business. I was almost there when I saw your videos, and you helped push me just a little further. I have 2 property management companies and a bunch of realaste agents who call me all the time. I also have lots of private homeowners. Couldn't help but notice your whiskey back there. I belong to a whiskey club, and we did an Instagram tasting with the owner of Smoke Wagon Whiskey. I believe that's a local distiller for you. May be Nevada? Anywho - give them a shot (pun intended). Great whiskey. Appreciate you Sir. And good luck to all you new business owners. K.B. from TEXAS! Cheers!
