    Oh, seems like there might be more work in that than what I thought.

    Scaling a handyman service business

    Yes, I myself do some small handy work as well. You can make quite an amount of money if you organize it right, with the right schedule and travelling route. The problem in my mind though, is that it is not really scalable. I already have a job, but I want to have a business - that ideally runs...

    Time for an update. Seems like I am very slow compared to others, but I am still working on it. I found a sales person who offered to find jobs for me. When he explained the payment model he offered, I was quite surprised: he wanted 15% for each new job and 10% of each job that comes through...

    It is time for an update. You really have to keep the goal in front of you, otherwise the daily responsibilities will wipe them away. Was sickly for a bit and did not get much done. Nevertheless, I decided to not work together with "YourPro" any more, a portal that gives jobs to companies (and...

    I was typing. Will try talking as well. Just wondering why talking would get better responses.

    Thank you Andy! Just tried it for my current business situation and just to answer the questions seems to get better clarity for myself of what I have to focus on next. The power of asking the right question.

    Homeschooling Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    I have 5 kids and all are homeschooled. Not to mention, that I was homeschooled from grade 7 and upwards. I often hear, that people argue about children growing up without friends etc. and it is very important to me that they have a social life. Besides the fact that they have many cousins, and...

    Every one starts with zero, and YouTube is really worth a lot. However, in some cases I would be careful. The best way is to do the job first for yourself or a relative, friend or neighbour. Thus, you have at least "some" experience. It also helps if you take pictures from before and after to...

    This is true. I have done this personally myself, I always outsourced the carpet installation to someone locally, for example. Was far always cheaper than doing it myself. The problem is just, if you would outsource everything, that I would be too busy meeting each one and arranging keys. The...

    Hi all, here I am again with a progress thread. After trying different things in the past few years (shiny object syndrome), I finally learnt that the best thing for me is to go with what is already working. I am self-employed for many years already and worked for about two years also with an...

    Great Idea! Just tested it and without noticing it i was typing in German. Surprise: the answer was also given in that language. This is the tool to reach other languages.

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    I ran some ads in the UK very recently, although it seems to go well (spent 30 Euro and got 7 leads) I could not reach any of them. It almost felt like some agency was filling out my form just to keep me busy with nonsense. Nevertheless, I gladly share what I did and how I did it with you. Just...

    This week, I and my partner in this venture were digging into possible marketing channels to promote this. We started using two ways of them: Facebook: We set up different ads, with the same text, but different image and different target groups. The goal is to find out which kind of image and...

    I also used the weekend to get some ads up to continue to promote the shop by offering a 15% discount code for those who registered. Since I increased the amount, the price per email address went up. Again, I also wanted to get some information from them, and here is what I got: As mentioned...
