He left the corporate zoo and ventured into the entrepreneurial wild and started The Trusted Toolbox: Home Repair and Projects in 2008. YES, he started a business right before the Great Recession, so timing the market is not his strength. He survived through that time and has grown his business into a multimillion dollar handyman and remodelling company which has won numerous awards in Atlanta, GA. How The Dots Joined Up For Chris As he says "Save yourself the time and aggravation of having to do repair work around your home on your own. You don’t have the time, energy, or patience to do bathroom remodelling, kitchen remodelling, wood rot repair, home repair, deck remodel & installation, painting, window replacement, window repair, bathroom repair, kitchen repair, deck repair, or any of our other handyman services with other small odds and ends type jobs that keep piling up around your home. It’s a much wiser idea to let our handymen do the work for you.  And its a very wise idea to build an evergreen business, around peoples pain points and limitations first and foremost. So is he happier now, running his own businesses or does he look back to the turn up and get paid corporate life with fondness? And what would be the biggest lesson he learnt which he always shares as his "Make sure you don't do what i did moment" ?

BUSINESS COACHING: The Simple Explanation To Business Traffic Welcome to Join Up Dots! Today, we're diving into the three types of online traffic every entrepreneur should know: traffic you own, traffic you buy, and traffic that stumbles over you. Traffic you own—like your email list or social media following—is the most valuable because you control it and can market to your audience without ongoing costs. Traffic you buy, such as paid ads, can be powerful for quick growth but can also waste money if you haven't set up your business to turn visitors into paying customers. Finally, organic traffic, or the people who naturally discover you, is free and sustainable but takes time to build. In this episode, we explore why balancing these types of traffic is key to growing a business. Many people make the mistake of buying traffic before fully preparing the backend of their business, losing money on ads that don’t convert. We’ll share tips on how to avoid that trap and make sure your traffic brings in lasting results.
