If you have been considering buying a handyman franchise. DM me instead

Hate to see it 😭 This van cost $598/mo, has about 70k miles and has now had 3 trips to the ER (the mechanic) This run, $13,000… At what point do you just call it a loss, and lease a brand new van? Would be off the road for 3 weeks, new van is $1,450 up front and $1,200/mo brand new 2026. To our office in 5 days. How do other approach this situation?

Make the best decision you can with the information you have. Then stop questioning the decision and start working to make it the right one.

I wrote something in my notes yesterday that I feel like needs to be shared with other leaders, trying to build a successful company. "We can be compassionate in how we communicate hard and uncomfortable decisions without compromising the decisions themselves." We can understand someone's frustration without allowing their frustration to determine the outcome. We can value someone's contributions without accepting behavior that contradicts our standards. We can care about an employee while acknowledging that they may no longer be the right fit for the company we're building. The standard determines the decision. Our humanity determines how we deliver it.

A whiteboard hates to see me coming

Who's hiring a creative / art lead? My wife has an incredible creative gift. She is soley responsible for our branding, colors, typography, physical deliverables.. She has designed numerous home service brands and has managed a large list of creative design requests for billboards, event marketing materials, booth activations etc. If you know anyone who's hiring - hit me up!

Alright - here is the new process for the warehouse and inventory. Tech arrives at the warehouse - a green tab on the bucket is materials ready to go. Each bucket has a job # on it associated with that techs schedule. Tech grabs the bucket, it has everything needed inside. If other materials are required, the bucket tells them where to go and what to get (whether it be at a suppliers, or in the drywall, wood, or doors section of the warehouse) They check off that they have all their materials loaded and head to the job site. They take the bucket with all the materials inside the home. When they're done, they leave whatever is left inside the bucket. They return the next day to the warehouse and put the bucket back and change the tag from green to red. Red means that job is done, and whatever is left inside the bucket can be returned (cash savings) or put in for inventory.

October @ Handy's - Record Month across the board. 51 completed jobs $177,000 in total completed revenue 62 new jobs sold $209,000 in new sold revenue Onboarded 1 new tech, hired another, interviewed and hired a production manager to support field efficiency, held 1 on 1's with all employees, set new goals for November.. Now working on closing out / costing all of the jobs and finalizing our numbers.

Excited for another great week of being an entrepreneur! Absolutely no clue what challenges this week will bring… and being excited about that is my kinda joy!

What does everyone do when a service van has to go to the shop for a few weeks? Help 😂

People offer free estimates all the time, the problem with that is you’re still waiting for the homeowner to call you… We are deploying an outbound strategy with our customer list of nearly 10,000 homeowners during the slow season for free home health checks. I bet this alone could generate a few hundred grand from the leads we’ve already paid for

Day in the life #Handys

We got a warehouse, have every piece of material delivered before the job.. all materials are staged and ready for the crew / tech the morning on their job. Everything verified min 24hr before start date. If something is missing and can’t be at the warehouse by start date we reschedule and replace with a job that has all materials accounted for. Goal is to never have a tech shopping on their own during the middle of a job

Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of examples of what being wealthy actually looked like. My family wasn’t wealthy. Even looking at my extended family, there weren’t many people I could point to who were financially set for life. But for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be incredibly financially successful. And for some reason, I spent a lot of my life feeling almost ashamed to admit that. You grow up hearing “money isn’t everything,” “money doesn’t buy happiness,” and that you should pursue things because you’re passionate about them, not because of the money. And I agree with a lot of that. I want a great family, amazing relationships, to be a good person and enjoy the life I’m building. But I also want to make a SHIT load of money lol And I think WAY more people feel that way than are comfortable admitting. I absolutely love building Handy’s. The people, the challenges, solving problems, seeing how far we can take this thing. But I also can’t imagine going through some of the shit I’ve gone through as an entrepreneur if the opportunity to become incredibly wealthy wasn’t a HUGE part of the motivation. I’ve become a lot more comfortable with that as I’ve gotten older. I don’t want money instead of a meaningful life. I want to build an incredible life AND become incredibly wealthy. I didn’t grow up around generational wealth. My mom and dad gave me work ethic instead of a trust fund 😂 BUT I’d love to be the reason the next generations of my family do. No shame in my game

During our first lawsuit I was (for obvious reasons) kinda freaking out Then I got this advice “You aren’t playing big enough if someone hasn’t tried to sue you” I felt that..

Disgusted at how much money is waisted in poorly managed warehouse inventory. Taking the liberty to take everything out and reorganize with a more efficient process Will document for those that enjoy organization content lol

A labor of love, and months of development... Handy's is yet again elevating the experience for hiring a handyman. Launching the "Handy App" to a few beta clients next week, and rolling it out to all members soon!
