    Ha, they always follow the same pattern. Seems like you also have had your share.

    Scaling a handyman service business

    PEOPLE SCALING EXECUTION 
    Scaling a business is not always so easy. Although August was my record month, it was probably also the month with the highest stress. A lot of work, and most of this was done without me being present. Sounds good, but not when the team is not set up in the right way. I had huge quality issues...

    I hired a new worker two weeks ago, and it seems to go well at the moment. Again, I am busier than I wish to be. This month (August) will be a new record in Revenue (close to being twice as high as the average of the last few months) and also the profit will be good (have to wait till the end of...

    I just started running an ad looking for experienced painters. I have to take a step forward and taking calculated risk. Thank you Andy

    At the moment I am looking for experienced painters. I would gladly hear about the handyman you are mentioning. When my handyman lead system is up and running that might be something he would be interested in. I hope to be able to start that at the beginning of September.

    Business is running better than I can handle at the moment. A lot of referrals, in so much that I again had to start to say 'no' to projects that are not scalable. Not only are all of my workers are booked out for the full month of August, but I am also as well, with jobs that only I can do...

    Thank you, Andy. I have the chance to get the domain "done.ie" for a little over 400 Euro and I think I will go with it. This would go with a lot of marketing, where I bring out, that this is the service to get the work in the house "done". Or where you enter the job and can consider the job...

    Thank you for this! I have seen this some time ago. It also inspired me with the idea I am currently working on. Subscription based services are great, and I will definitely keep this in mind. I might add them at a later stage. Currently, I am working on details of an MVP.

    At the moment there is a specific idea that takes more and more shape in my mind. Basically a system that would enable me to take almost all the hassle from landlords and tenants (if the apartment is rented out). The target group would be landlords or house owners who simply want to get the job...

    I've found my meaning and purpose at last

    STORY 
    That does not sound a lot to me. 200 Euros a day is common in the country of Ireland. In Dublin you will probably go more to 350 to 400 Euro a day, depending on what you do.

    STORY 
    The prices depend on location, country etc. I could help you with prices in Ireland, but you are in the US. You might ask for some services yourself, just to find out what they charge or ask AI

    Just to summarize: The secret of local service business is: Find a specific need that is in high demand, build a lead generation system that can not be copied by your employees and offer great customer service. I am currently investigating what different options I have. Thank you so much for...

    Handyman is a great way to start a business. From time to time, I just stop by to change a light bulb, easy 80 Euro for 5 minutes of work. With a drill and a screw gun, you can do a lot of things, like hanging TVs, mirrors etc.

    Thank you for all this! I know that I have to focus on one specific thing to be able to scale this. Since I live in Ireland, I mainly work in the capital city (Dublin) where almost half of the population lives. However, it is not a huge city compared to other capitals in Europe. I will...

    May was the best month for me so far. Steady growth, at least according to Revenue. June started very slow, but I got so busy now that I will probably reach my goal for this month as well. However, the business is still heavily depending on myself. Seems like local services are only scalable...

    It is clear that spring is in full motion and I got back to busy again. Having two employees at the moment, it seems like it became a bit harder to scale. I got my van branding professionally done, reached out to one agent and already got another small job from there. Using Antigravity, I...
