Dan Perry is an Engineer turned Entrepreneur. He left his Mechanical Engineering job in 2011 – started a successful handyman business, and then launched an online training business that helps other handymen start and grow their small businesses.

Dan started his handyman business despite having zero business experience, minimal home repair experience, and as he says, “no idea what I was doing!” Not having any experience led to a real struggle to get started, and he made all kinds of mistakes. But he kept at it. He interviewed other successful business owners, read books, studied psychology, and learned wherever and whenever possible.

Within just 6 months, he was able to replace his engineering job income. Dan has also been sharing what he has learned on his website, and he offers comprehensive online courses to help you launch a successful handyman business.
