Welcome to my journey a story of grit, determination, and building something extraordinary from the ground up.
Starting a business is never easy. It takes courage to leave the comfort of a stable paycheck and dive headfirst into the unknown. But for me, it was more than a leap of faith it was a calling. This book is a reflection of my first year as an entrepreneur, a year filled with excitement, fear, relentless challenges, and the unwavering belief that hard work and resilience can overcome anything.
In my debut book, Maintain It: The Handyman’s Guide to Building a Successful Maintenance Company, I shared the lessons I learned in crafting a business from scratch. Now, I invite you to join me as I dive deeper chronicling the first 365 days of running a new company. This is not just a manual; it’s a candid look at what it takes to build a business from the ground up, from facing unexpected obstacles to celebrating small victories along the way.
This book isn’t just for entrepreneurs. It’s for anyone chasing a dream, navigating life’s uncertainties, or wondering if they have what it takes to succeed. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that resilience and persistence are the keys to unlocking your potential.
Whether you’re here to be inspired, learn from my experiences, or simply explore the raw and real side of starting a business, I welcome you. Together, let’s explore what happens when ambition meets action—and how even the toughest challenges can lead to the most rewarding destinations.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s get started.
