Dropping New Modules
I am committed to sending out new modules on a monthly basis to keep this group engaged and always learning. What are a few topics where you feel your business could use some help? I will use these comments as a starting point to develop a few courses around them.

@Zachary Zinn Ill review more of this and give a better answer later but what jumps out is #2… we also tried this and it’s HORRIBLE. You can’t expect anyone to succeed on this, and truly it’s less than a needle in a haystack to find the right person. We use estimators like I had mentioned, and I know the company who shared the billable hr. With you, and they are also now doing estimators because that process didn’t work. If that says anything!

@Zachary Zinn I can give you our exact performance pay structure whenever you’d like!! Hourly plus bonus. Works great!
Member Highlight Story
Two months ago I was hosting one of our weekly mastermind calls in this group. We share wins, struggles, best practices and really get to know one another personally and professionally. @Kyle Clifton was vulnerable enough to share that he was in a bad spot. He mentioned missing payroll for 3 weeks in a row, having to let go of his entire staff and everything he had built seemed to be caving in, and quickly. Because of his willingness to share, and his discipline to keep pushing forward facing adversity as well as his openness to learning Kyle was able to share this morning that after making a few key decisions in his business he went from not making payroll 2 months ago to closing out December with his best revenue month EVER!!!!! Over $70,000. This community was built for stories like this. It'll be the first of many, and I'm so excited for Kyle and what his future looks like in this industry!

@Zachary Zinn first and foremost your willingness to share honestly is the initial key step! A lot of the time it’s easy to be blinded or brain fogged when you’re in this situation and hard to identify the core issue. Write out a list of things you’re struggling with. If you need, happy to jump on a call and try to help diagnose a few things!!

@Kyle Clifton the GOAT
Why Coaching & Seminars Suck
For eight years, I was part of the residential real estate industry as a licensed real estate agent. Arguably one of the largest conference and seminar type of industries, where you pay a ton of money to go see people talk with a goal of leaving with tactical information on how to improve your business. Instead, what you typically get is a lot of motivation without any tactical information on how to implement the required steps to become successful in your field. I was always really hesitant to participate or create a group like we have here because of this notion and my past experiences. I was always told and motivated to run through a brick wall, but never was given the step-by-step instructions on how to actually do it. It seems to be a lot of motivation and accountability with no actual process to achieve said success. If you’ve experienced this, you know exactly what I’m talking about. My hope is that this group can be the opposite. A place where we share best practices, and help create step-by-step instructions on how to implement everything necessary to be successful. At any point if I waiver from this commitment, please call me out so I can ensure you guys have the exact process on how to achieve whatever level of success you desire.
Uniting the Industry
Over 95% of registered handyman businesses in the country are owned and operated by one person. They're often referred to in the industry as a "Chuck in a Truck." Typically highly skilled at their craft with decades of experience. Capable of fixing just about anything in your house. Arguably the most valuable trade a homeowner needs. Yet when they no longer can physically perform the tasks they once could, a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears... the truck with their last name on the side... their long lasting reputation slowly disappears. A legacy becomes nothing overnight. I've seen this happen first hand with family members, and too many other times to count. I believe firmly that what we are building at Handy's will be their solution. Giving the incredibly hardworking men and women a legacy that outlasts themselves, and a business that keeps paying them long after they put down the hammer. Our vision at Handy's is to unite the 95%, and create sustainability for all those people who work too hard for too little. I am so excited about what's next, and so proud to be leading this effort.

@Zack Flippo this is a large part of why we chose Handyman - we just knew we’d at least get a head start with some simple processes and focuses, then use the data and feedback to pivot and scale where needed!

@Kevin Evans We see it as a race to the bottom. In reality, the people who don't show up on time do so because they aren't making enough money to run their business in a more streamlined fashion. As soon as you start increasing pricing you'll have more freedom to add structure which benefits everyone!
"What Once Was No Longer Is, What's To Come Will Ask Something Different of You"
I haven't met a single person who hasn't carried what felt like the weight of the world at a particular time. It's difficult in the moment to realize what is happening now won't be around forever. Understanding the power of perspective and reflection on past times and reminding yourself the best and worst are likely yet to come can help release a part of today's burden. Life, Business, Friendships, Romances, Family... These are all things to juggle every single day. I hope you all realize this community was created to share real life versions of ourselves, and our businesses because you can't scale a lie.. the truth, honesty and humility are all necessary to grow in all aspects of life. With that said, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and I can't wait to ring in the new year, and get to know each and every one of you! Cheers
