Handyman Profit 2023 (ePub)

When the economy crashed in 2008, millions lost jobs, many struggled for years and things got bad again in 2020 during this pandemic and many are still struggling to catch up either without jobs or with low-paying jobs. Unemployment figures are much improved now, but that's deceiving because many are still working two or more jobs to make ends meet. Some companies are still struggling while others are trying to reduce cost and increase profit by replacing jobs with technology. And, once the job is gone, the money stops. Unlike jobs, the handyman business is here to stay. As long as there are homes, apartments, offices, and other buildings, repairs will be needed, and you can do them with limited skills and tools.

I faced having dwindling savings and no time to find a job. I didn't own a truck, but I purchased and outfitted a small trailer with all the handyman tools I needed, most of which I had from working on our home, and started strongly. After just a few inexpensive ads, I was working every day and making a decent living. At first, most of the jobs were small and could have easily been handled by someone with limited experience, and that was good because money flowed promptly. As time passed, I started taking larger jobs and gradually moved from just handyman work to small remodeling jobs. Finally, I purchased a pickup, rented a small shop, and progressed to larger woodworking projects, which I continued for over twenty-five years.
