In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview a handyman from across the pond – Will Lingard.
Will is a great guy who shares helpful tips and insights based on his nine years in business as a professional handyman.
Here’s a sample of what we discuss in this interview:
- What’s important to affluent customers
- How focusing on sustainability helps his business
- What he enjoys about his business
- How he deals with customers who say he’s too expensive
- How he runs multiple businesses by subcontracting jobs
- How he hired his first helper
- Why business isn’t always a straight line
- Why being a good person is more important than your home repair skills
- And more.
HS054 – Pro handyman from the UK shares his story – Interview with Will LingardAbout Will Lingard
Will lives in the United Kingdom and owns and operates Surrey Hills Handyman.
Will used to work with a company that set up outdoor PA systems. Although he loved the work, it involved a lot of travel. He wanted to be closer to his family. When his father-in-law recommended becoming an electrician, it sparked the idea of starting a handyman business.
He quickly jumped online, found Handyman Startup, devoured all the content, invested in my courses, and launched his business while providing services from a small sedan.
That was over nine years ago. Today, he enjoys a profitable business that gives him freedom, flexibility, and a sense of agency.
