I've been watching you for for 3 years while I was doing hotel maintaince, you taught me a lot, in March I got my LLC, I was still full time 9-5, I went full time self employed in September and month later I've made more money than I have in a year of working full time, I luckily had the problem you mentioned, stressing about scheduling all the work coming my way! I'm a high school drop out and 27! You helped change my life!

I’m a union stagehand and do handyman work on the side. I realized I make more money and have more fun being my own boss. I’m going to make the jump to full time handyman end of summer. Thanks for all your inspiration! 🙏🏽

I have been a small business owner (sold my business a few years ago). Best way to do retirement savings if you have just a few employees or just you and your spouse is whats called a “Simple IRA” it allows you as the owner to set a percentage match up to 10% of your profits and match yourself. So you can shelter a lot of your annual profits into retirement. Get with a retirement pro and ask them about it.

Well, you got me to do it Handyman!Officially started my self employment journey as of this year, 2022! Keep these videos coming cause they help me tremendously, and thank you for inspiring me to go for it!

Loved 😍 your story of how you got started. I had been on the fence for the last year or so and finally decided to make the " LEAP OF FAITH " ... Today!!!, I got my DBA here in Houston Texas, cost $26 . I'm planning on getting my LLC next year . That's one thing I love about Texas, it's easy to become self employed not like California where you must have 4 years of verifiable experience, take a Contractors course that costs several thousand dollars, get workmans comp insurance even though you're the only employee and all kinds of rules and regulations that will simply increase the cost of doing business.

Ha! You lived on a sailboat too! I discovered your videos three years ago when I returned to my handyman business after 26 years with the PD. Thank you for the encouragement, I think it is fair to say I am enjoying my second (third?) career more and making more money because of you! Thanks!

This man is spitting FACTS! When you're the boss, there is NO DAY OFF FROM FEAR. SAVING is the only solution. Save, and socialize to meet new clients. Life is sales!

[davidlee]

I agree with all you said and way to go on your saving money. I was raised up in construction and then became a builder in Central Florida.

SAVE SAVE SAVE! Learned that lesson the reaaaal hard way. I’m only 22 and starting to gain some real momentum. But my first year working self employed was rough. I didn’t have anything saved and winter came and work went down. I started an emergency fund. Something I can live off of for 3 months with no work whatsoever. I also always have padding in my checking account. Just in case I under budget I have that padding to help out. Also doing quarterly taxes is a HUUUGE help

Everything you said is spot on! You think the pandemic was hard being self-employed, the 2008 housing/financial crash was WAY worse! Lots of contractors I know closed up shop and went into a completely different line of work. I stuck it out and only survived because I had good strong relationships and was flexible with where my work came from.

Love your videos. I’m at the beginning of starting my own handyman business, thanks for the advice, I live in a decent rich area. I might start a YouTube channel to show how far I come with it. Take care wish you well. 🎉🎃

Always a pleasure to hear your story bud. I'm approaching my 10th year and I'm successful, humble and proud to be a multi skilled tradesmen. I've watched your channel and listened intently over the years and I accredit some of my approach to business to you sir. Now I gotta just focus on getting better at the financial planning aspect of it.

[Expressitc]

I just wanted to say, as an IT business owner, I really enjoy your channel's and like listening to your business talk as I think it applies to most self-employed people like ourselves. I'm always looking for nuggets and insight on the business side. Thanks!

[robertnortham]

I have been doing home repairs and remodeling for over 40 years, I'm 72 and yes still can't resist getting my hands dirty, but I have found that if you run the business properly, the business will want to run you, it's a balancing act.

The problem is not getting enough customers it's getting paid for what the job is worth. Customers are increasingly becoming cheap
