Back in March, we did something we’d been building toward for a while. We launched our very first 5-Day Handyman Business Reset Boot Camp, and honestly? It exceeded everything I expected.
From March 2–6, 2026, 31 handymen and trades business owners from all over the US and Canada logged in and spent five days doing the real work — not theory, not fluff, but an actual hands-on reset of their businesses. Some of them hadn’t gone full-time yet. Others had been running their handyman business for years but felt stuck, burned out, or like they were working harder than the money was showing. That mix of people actually made the whole week more powerful, because everyone brought something different to the table.
What We Covered (Day by Day)
Here’s how the week broke down:
Day 1 — Know Your Numbers Most handymen avoid this one. But you can’t fix what you don’t understand. We got everyone looking at their actual numbers — not a guess, not a “I think I made around…” — the real picture.
Day 2 — Pricing Reset This is where a lot of business owners feel the most pain. Undercharging, inconsistent pricing, not knowing what to charge for certain jobs. We worked through it together and helped people reset their pricing with confidence.
Day 3 — Lead Flow Audit Where are your leads coming from? Where are they NOT coming from? Day 3 was about auditing what’s working, what’s broken, and how to build a more consistent pipeline.
Day 4 — Workflow Reset A busy handyman with a broken workflow is just a stressed handyman. We looked at how members were running their day-to-day and helped them tighten things up so the business could grow without them losing their mind.
Day 5 — Vision + Decision This one hits different. After four days of looking at the hard stuff, Day 5 was about zooming out — where do you want this to go? What decision do you need to make right now to get there? We also held Live Q&A sessions on Wednesday and Friday at 2PM so members could get real answers to real questions.
The Moment That Stuck With Me
I could talk about the curriculum all day, but what really stood out to me was watching people see their business differently. That shift — when someone looks at their numbers or their leads and it just clicks — that’s why I do this.
You can’t un-see it once it happens. And that week, I watched it happen over and over again.
Craig’s Story
I have to share this one because it’s too good not to.
Craig Timm — who actually came back to talk about this on Episode 2 of The Handyman Journey Podcast — had been running his handyman business for about four years. He was stuck at around $4,000 a month. His wife had never really been on board with the business because, from her perspective, it always seemed to take more than it gave.
Craig went through the boot camp with his wife. Two months later, he was on track to hit $17,000 a month — and his wife is now helping run the admin side of the business.
That’s not just a revenue number. That’s a marriage, a partnership, and a family getting behind something together. That’s what a reset can do.
Why This Works (When YouTube Doesn’t)
Look, there’s no shortage of “how to grow your handyman business” content out there. YouTube, Google, free PDFs — you can find tips all day long.
But what you can’t find on YouTube is 31 other handymen who are in the same boat as you, working through the same problems in real time, pushing each other, sharing what’s working and what’s not. That community piece — that’s what makes the boot camp different. It’s real life. It’s hands on. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
