Why Personality Matters in Home Services
Imagine this: A shy bookkeeper tried their hand at pressure washing, but the constant interaction and physical demands left them drained. However, when they pivoted to organizing garages, they made $80k/year, all because they aligned their business with their personality. This isn’t just a story; it’s a lesson. Your traits determine your success—let’s decode yours.
Key Insight:
- 60% of failed home service startups chose niches that clashed with their strengths. Don’t be a statistic.
- Licensing the right territory amplifies your natural skills. We’ll show you how to leverage your personality for success.

How to Audit Your Personality (Without Overthinking)
Step 1: The “Weekend Test”
Do you recharge by tinkering outdoors (Type 1) or binge-watching tech tutorials (Type 2)? Your weekend activities can reveal a lot about your ideal business.
Step 2: The “Stress Test”
