He brings his unique style to leadership to build a culture of professionalism to the blue collar world of home renovations. 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" ?

GET WEALTHY COURSE: Working For Someone Else Wont Make You Rich (Episode Thirteen) In this episode of Join Up Dots, we explore the rule "You Won't Get Rich Working for Someone Else."

Working for others often puts a cap on your potential, where your worth is defined by someone else. We discuss why creating your own path, whether through entrepreneurship, freelancing, or additional income streams, can unlock opportunities beyond the limitations of traditional employment. Taking this step isn't about abandoning stability overnight; it's about strategically building wealth that's truly yours, while seizing control of your life.
