Hello again,
So today lets start at the beginning. You want to start a handyman business, but what is the first step? Step one, start with yourself. I have blogged about this before, however staring with yourself really is the first step.
What do I mean by this? Whether you are starting a handyman business or any business, you are the ultimate factor that will determine if your handyman business succeeds or not. So step one, do you have what it takes to be a business owner? Are you willing to do things that others are not. Will you stick to your business when things get tough? Can you handle the ups and downs that a business will have? Ups and downs that will include how much you make each month.
If all you really want to do is fix things, then maybe you should consider getting someone to manage the business portion for you. A spouse or significant other is a good place to look. Ideally this person would be someone who would not want a huge salary if you are just starting out. This is really important, managing your business is just as important as the fixing part of your business.
Maybe you are just the opposite, you would rather do the managing and marketing of the business, and hire someone to do the fixing part of the business.
Once you decide what part of the business you will handle, then its time to move on to step 2, which I will talk about next.
Until then
