Hi there! I’m writing an article on “How to Start a Handyman Business” and would appreciate your professional input:
1. What is one administrative or 'back-office' mistake you made in your first year as a handyman that you would warn others to avoid?
2. What is one specific 'red flag' behavior from a potential client that makes you immediately decline a job, regardless of the pay?
3. What was the specific tipping point or realization that finally gave you the confidence to raise your rates or switch from hourly to flat-rate pricing?
4. Aside from the basics (drill, hammer, level), what is the one under-$50 tool that has saved you the most time or money?
5. Beyond repair skills, what soft skill has been the biggest driver of your word-of-mouth referrals?
