Each Month I’ll be writing a post that discusses how my handyman business is doing. In these monthly reports, I’ll first explain the events that took place during the last 30 days and whether or not I hit my goals that I set the previous month. Then, I’ll expose all the details of my income and expenses. Lastly, I’ll end the post by discussing what my plans and goals are for the following month.
I’m sharing this for several reasons:
- I want to help anybody looking to start a handyman business to understand what to expect financially. I remember when I was first considering starting a handyman business, my primary questions were “how much can I make and how much will it cost to start?” Well, it turns out I still don’t know the answer to that question, but I’m definitely learning a lot each month.
- It’s a great way to track my progress and keep myself accountable. If you read my post, 5 Steps to Ensure Success, I mention how important it is to share your goals with others. Setting goals has helped to motivate me and I’d recommend it if your aren’t already.
- Provide valuable and insightful details on running a successful handyman business.

“An average person with average talent, ambition and education, can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused goals.” Brian Tracy
I’m a strong believer in setting goals. Goals keep you focused, motivated, and most of all, goals give you a possibility for success. Without setting goals, how will you know when you’ve succeeded? [continue reading…]
