Finding Success by Letting Go: A Handyman’s Journey to Better Business Practices
Reflections from a Late-Night Business Owner
Running a home repair and handyman services business often demands long hours and late nights. As I write this, it’s 3 AM, and I’ve just finished wrapping up the day’s tasks. With another project scheduled in just a few hours, I’ve found myself reflecting on some much-needed changes to bolster both my efficiency and sanity.
There’s an undeniable truth in business: sometimes, growth comes not from adding more, but from strategically cutting back. I’m eager to hear from other entrepreneurs who have successfully eliminated certain practices or tasks that didn’t contribute positively to their growth. Sharing transformative experiences like these can be invaluable – a kind of gold that we can all mine from.
If you’ve made a change by eliminating something from your routine and watched your business thrive as a result, I invite you to share your story. Real experiences triumph over theoretical advice, and your insight could provide the much-needed shortcut for another business owner’s journey to success.
As I prepare myself for a few hours of rest, I look forward to reading your stories and learning from your lived experiences. Until then, may we all continue to find better ways to run our businesses and lives.

Thank you for sharing your reflections on the challenges of running a handyman business, especially during those late-night hours! Your point about the importance of cutting back for growth really resonates. In my own experience as a business owner, I faced a similar crossroads when I decided to eliminate unnecessary meetings from my routine. I found that many of them were not only time-consuming but often unproductive, and they detracted from the deep work that truly drives my progress.
Instead, I implemented a system of quick daily check-ins with my team, which streamlined communication while allowing us to remain focused on our core tasks. The impact was profound; not only did it free up several hours each week, but it also improved team morale and efficiency.
I believe many entrepreneurs could benefit from reflecting on their own routines and identifying time sinks. It’s liberating to realize that not every task we undertake is essential for our success! I look forward to hearing other stories and learning about the transformative changes others have made. Thank you for sparking this valuable discussion!
