Why I started Handy Ande

10 reasons:

1. I liked the name. It was my nickname as a kid and it stuck. (It fits.)

2. I needed income to support myself.

3. I knew my work ethic and standards where higher than many other service providers and professionals I'd observed.

4. I wanted to bring income-generating work to others who need it.

5. I wanted to see that people who work for me are paid better fees than other employers.

6. I wanted to see other service providers raise their standards by teaching them a new work philosophy.

7. I wanted to show service providers that a "boss" could treat them better and show more appreciation... which could lead to long-time, loyal staff.

8. I wanted a business that would continue to bring me income when I could no longer work.

9. I wanted a business that could be franchisable, allowing other women and men to own and run a business of their own, affordably... with support along the way.

10. I wanted to see if I could help to increase economic standards in each community.

Maybe these are lofty goals, but they are do-able.
