HISTORY OF THE HONEY DO SERVICE, INC.
In 2002, I found myself living in California, raising my family and honestly just not living the American Dream. I was unsatisfied that I wasn't on the right path of achieving my personal and financial goals. My dad had just started a handyman business in a small town of Virginia and invited me to join him. So I took a leap of faith, sold my house, packed up my wife and kids and headed for home.
When I got there, it became quickly apparent that Dad had tricked me. What he really wanted was to be with his grandkids and I can’t say as I blame him. What Dad had going for him was a cute name and idea. What he didn’t have going for him was actual work to be done. Being the very motivated person that I am, I went out into the community and started knocking on doors.
I quickly found a very unique niche where my services were needed. It did not take long before I needed to hire help. My next step was to start developing the brand in a professional image. The public needed someone they knew undoubtedly would be on-time, their word was good and had the ability to perform home maintenance tasks.
As I moved forward, my role quickly changed to a management position. I then reached a point that I wanted to expand our brand. I attended an IFA meeting in which I met others like myself and chose to expand our business through a franchising system to develop The Honey Do Service, Inc. handyman franchise.
I took the next year to get legal with the FTC and trademark our brand name. I looked closely at what could I do to best help all of our locations and realized that knowing how much to charge for the tasks at hand was a must. So we wrote proprietary estimating software and named it “Tom’s Tool Box”. This will assist in making sure profit margins and timeframes are met.
It has been a wonderful adventure and I am very proud where we are today. If you are a hardworking, motivated individual with the entrepreneur spirit looking for a direction that can satisfy your needs, don’t wait for your dad to call. Jump start your future with a proven ready to go business system.
