Hey Friends, Thanks for tuning in, Here are a few helpful links from this video that I recommend you get started on:

[devinbraun]

I’m a military retiree. I’ve never worked as a contractor, but have always been very handy, renovating/remodeling numerous houses. Among family, friends and acquaintances, I’ve developed the reputation as a guy who knows how to do stuff. I get called all the time when someone needs help and most are generous compensating me for my time and energy even though I don’t ask for it. Lately the word has gotten out and I’m getting called from more and more people outside my primary circle: folks from church, friends of family and friends, etc…. I get the feeling I could have about as much work as I’m willing to take on, so think I need to make it official and start an actual business.

I love that statement about growing some balls. Because it really is true I never really knew how capable I was until I got out there and just started doing it. I never stop surprising myself.

[SRTJEEPER]

The paralysis of analysis. great way to remember

That’s something my dad told my brother in law and me years later, you can’t be scared of the work, you just gotta do it. It can be alittle nerve racking tearing down someone else’s ceiling or wall, but once you get going you get used to it.

I never really wanted to be just a handyman when I started my business so ended up doing bigger construction projects, but have since realized I actually prefer smaller handyman jobs since I do everything myself. I don’t want the hassle of hiring employees, at least not right now, and have found the smaller jobs can pay a lot better and I don’t have to work 10 hours a day to make decent money.

You nailed it Allen, you have to grow some BALLS !! This is where I’m at right now.. I work for a Contractor buddy of mine right now. I’m ready to go out on my own as a Handyman. But, I’m scared to death. I have everything I need tools, the know-how, I’m just stuck in the (fear) cage at the moment. I’m ordering your books, and I’m going to get this journey started soon. Thank you for the encouragement. I have it in me, just gotta let it out and go for it.

Been toying with advertising handyman work for a while. I live in a 40yo home which has given me plenty of practice in small/general repairs. Post termite wood rot repair, seems to be my specialty Lol.

I'm so glad you made this video I joined the group and am starting this year I'm excited thank you so much

Besides all the usual stuff handymen do I also provide services pertaining to bicycles and bicycle related issues.

If anyone is having the issue where their latch or deadbolt is loose or falling out due to the screws stripping out the inside of the door. I have invented a new door hardware that solves this problem, ReSecure Latch. No more glue, sticks, puddy, or that ugly metal sleeve that ruins the look of your door. Great for DYI people, property owners/maintenance technicians, and you.

that’s exactly why i’m starting doing handyman work right now i work full time but want more money and to eventually be my own boss

Stop thinking too much, grow a pair and make it happen. Roger that, sir.

[codyseibel]

Stumbled upon your books on Amazon a few weeks ago. Joined the fb group. This was my first video of you I watched. Literally the last bit of advice I needed. Grow some balls and trust my skill set. I'm in Lodi hope to hook up with ya soon.

[brianpatterson]

Really appreciate your sharing of experiences !

[andrewvirdell]

Hello, Can you speak on how you except payment, I'm new to being self employed and thought it would be good to except card in addition to cash or check. Do you except card? And if yes what system do you use?

[TheDiosparati]

Analysis paralysis that one really helped

[doomsdaypreppersofsouthcar]

Retiring in few months...already started my handyman...made 600$ last week in 2 days....i don't wanna work every day....it's out there if you wanna make it

[chriss]

How do you put up flyers you are trespassing on property when you do that and can get you in trouble?

[jesterraj]
