    #61 Home Healer Handyman

    Welcome back to the Handyman Success Podcast 🎙️ — where every episode hits home with real‑world stories, lessons, and inspiration for handymen who want to build a business that fits their life. In this episode, we talk with Amon from Home Healer Handyman (Nebraska). He shares how he went from a hurt commercial‑construction worker driving all over town, to launching a small‑batch, personality‑driven handyman business doing “small jobs” — all while staying true to what he loves: helping homeowners, building relationships, and keeping life simple. Expect deep dives into: Why he chose “small jobs are my big deal” instead of chasing big remodels. How he priced his first jobs (a $4,625 job that changed everything 🛠️) and transitioned to flat‑rate day‑rates. The importance of showing up on social media, building trust with real photos/videos, and being consistent. How to build a business on your own terms, cash‑flowing tools & truck over time instead of borrowing or stressing. Key advice for new handyman business owners: get teachable, use systems, set your minimum, and start with step one — even if it’s scary. If you're a handyman, thinking about starting out, or just looking to build a business that doesn’t burn you out — this episode is for you. 👇 Check out all our free resources, live webinars & community at HandymanSuccess.net — links below!
