Been seeing a lot of chatter about people trying to escape the 9-to-5.One path that often comes up is the handyman route -- turning a passion for DIY into a full-time gig. But I think there's a real difference between being good at fixing things around your own house and running a prosperous handyman business.
What are the biggest hurdles people face when making that leap? Is it the business side (marketing,accounting,insurance)? Or is it the pressure of working to a deadline and someone else's expectations? I've seen a few people get burned out quickly,realizing they don't enjoy fixing leaky faucets as much when it's not their own faucet! Curious to hear other people's experiences or perspectives on this. Maybe some advice for hobbyists considering taking the plunge? What kind of services do you think are most in-demand and profitable right now?
