How Can a Handyman Get More Customers… My Personal Experience

A quick ride back to the past, back to when I started my handyman journey on less than nothing.

What I mean by this… I had no cash on hand and I was behind on 100% of my bills.

How I got to that point was by losing my job, going on unemployment, all while looking endlessly for a job.

A lot of the feedback I got from employers was they were not in need of an employee because of “times being slow.”

This led me to starting my own business, which was a very unknown place I was lurking in.

Approximately 2 years later, I am still learning new things everyday.

One thing I want to pass on is how I got started with very little to work with.
