He actually started with more than 450$. He started his business with the skills he learned from previous employment. I think its important to remember that money is not thing you bring when you start a business. He was a maintenance employee. This was vital for his success.

[markhoffman]

A bunch of things weren’t adding up, then I saw that it was an advertisement for Jobber.

[dilipanthonypinto]

I was a licensed contractor, 20 years experience, people still balked at $50/hr and still do. And I’m honest and do quality work.

[arnold]

As a licensed plumber I love handymen they make me a ton of money. Keep up the good work handy andy

[matthewthompson]

Real title: Maintenance man starts handyman business.

[xSWlMx]

In this economy 100 an hour minimum. Some cities and places up to 150 an hour. This is after a 125$ fee to show up with a 20k van and 10k worth of tools, which includes the first half hour.

I still work a corporate job and have a handyman LLC on the side. After 10 months with no advertising i find myself having to turn some jobs away, it's getting busy!

[el.handyman]

Loved the commentary! I'm in the DFW area and enjoy being a handyman. I've been at it since 2010 and wished I had started earlier. Thanks for sharing!

[Preston]

I can't believe how 1 for 1 I am with this guy. I bought a Tacoma, I use an old bin for my batteries, I used to use totes to store materials in the back, I just happened to start building my own version of the "Decked" system to upgrade my tool storage and material storage.

[scottmcleod]

Any one feel like South Park Panderverse nailed it perfectly? Handymen are the new rich people of society.

[jakeschmidt]

Location makes a big difference in what you can charge also

[chasemanley]

Career at apple *as a maintenance person* - clickbait title, pretty crucial detail. He started with all the skills he needed.

[SeventeenSeventySix]

He had contractor, construction, maintenance experience before all this. Don't think you can just do this with limited knowledge.

[WillMill]

I have done a lot, but have not turned it into a business!! you have giving me motivation. I'm so tire of working as a System Engineer!!! 25 years of Technology work!! sick of it!!!

[-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

10:39 WTF is he talking about? He was a maintenance guy FOR a tech company. He wasn't in the tech industry. He changed light bulbs for Yuppies.

[MarkCutler]

THE HIDDEN FACTOR is his wife’s nice corporate job with health insurance!

Let’s see this guy ‘live the dream’ as a single man living in a one bedroom apartment with no garage for keeping his tools safe at night.

[ncooty]

Exactly; it's not about value or expertise; it's about branding, pricing, and euphemisms! Thanks, Jobber!

[LtVictor]

Huge things missing the the video, he already had most the things, he already had the skill, he lives in a insanely wealthy area where rich people don't do their own things and hire out. 75 or 100 would never work in other areas.

[matthewmitchell]

If I were to start over again in life, I would have learned maintenance work. Always get paid and the demand is always high
