I started as an inspector with a three month assignment and left as Director of Community Improvement with 78 employees twelve years later to do writing and consulting. Writing, Publishing and Consulting I established Rehab Notes Library, a publishing company that published a monthly newsletter Rehab Notes with subscribers in all 50 states, Canada and England and nine books on housing related topics. I also did consulting and public speaking on housing related topics for agencies and organizations in cities across the country.
After when most federal funding was pulled from housing activities, I took advantage of my construction and business experience and started a handyman and woodworking business. Over Twenty-Five Years of Woodworking For over twenty-five years, first in Tampa, Florida and then in Austin, Texas, I built hundreds of small and large cabinet and furniture projects for individuals, companies and government agencies. During these years I began writing books about my experiences. To date I've published over forty print and ebooks and presently have several books in various levels of completion.
This year I began creating products for self publishers including the Easy Kindle Formatting Kit at http: I plan to create more products based on my first-hand experience publishing books and ebooks. Computer Experience My computer experience dates back almost twenty years and began in response to poor technical support for our computer. During I stepped out of the business and woodworking genres to write a book on relationship.
It was something I had thought about for years and had always feared doing. Notes on Love, Mutual Respect, Boundaries, Marriage, and Divorce was difficult but fun to write and, to my surprise, received great reviews. Details available at http: Readers Benefits of registering Where are my ebooks?

I was fortunate then but years before I had a profitable writing and consulting business helping federally funded housing programs across the country. My reputation was established and I was selling books, a monthly newsletter, and traveling to help communities leverage the housing funds they received from the federal government. Unfortunately, after a national election, everything changed and all the housing funds disappeared and so did my business.
Just as those who lost their jobs, the money stopped.
What saved me was the handyman and carpenter skills I learned in my youth. I no longer owned a truck so I purchased and outfitted a small trailer with all the handyman tools I needed and hit the ground running. After just a few ads in local weekly papers I was working everyday and making a decent living.

At first most of the jobs were small and could have easily been handled by someone with limited experience and that was good because money flowed promptly. As time passed I started taking larger jobs and gradually moved from just handyman work to small remodeling jobs and finally, after renting a small shop, to woodworking which I continued for over twenty five years. Like losing a good job, a business failure can be traumatic and impose a serious financial hardship but with a few handyman skills anyone can quickly start making money.
I know that first hand and my book Handyman Business Quick Start Guide can help you do the same on a full time or part time basis.
