Have you ever heard people around you say, "The home repair industry is tough, and you'll lose money if you enter it"? Some even go to great lengths to persuade you to stay away, as if they're afraid you'll take their business. But have you ever wondered what’s really behind this mindset? It’s just like Old Zhang at the vegetable market downstairs—he keeps complaining about fierce competition and tough business, yet quietly buys his son a BMW. So, what's the secret here? Why do those loudly claiming the industry is struggling end up making a fortune? Every industry has its own "hidden rules," and the home repair industry is no exception. Experienced professionals often warn newcomers about the difficulties: complex construction work, high technical requirements, demanding customers—it all sounds incredibly challenging. But if you take a closer look, how are these very people actually running their businesses? In psychology, this is known as the "competition protection mentality." Just like Old Zhang at the market, who exaggerates the hardships of selling vegetables to discourage new vendors from taking his share, some people in the home repair industry do the same. The reality, however, is that the demand for home repairs is enormous. With urbanization accelerating, more and more old communities need renovations, and even newly built homes face quality issues that require repairs. Take, for example, a distributor from Qinglong Mountain. She’s a stay-at-home mom who only recently entered the industry, yet she has already achieved an annual revenue of over 3 million yuan. By leveraging market demand and focusing on technical expertise and service quality, she quickly built trust and a strong reputation among her customers. Can you really say this industry is impossible to succeed in? Her success is the best proof. The truth is, as long as you accumulate technical skills and excel in customer service, the home repair industry is not as difficult as the skeptics claim. The entry barriers are not high, and with the growing market demand, there is still plenty of room for competition. Many established professionals are simply afraid of being replaced by newcomers who bring innovation and fresh ideas. That’s why they portray the industry as being in decline. But for those willing to embrace change, this presents a golden opportunity. No matter what others say or how the industry evolves, the key question is: Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and take that leap? Remember, in the home repair industry, anyone with solid technical skills and outstanding service can rise to the top. If others can do it, so can you! Don’t let negative voices block your financial success—pursue your dreams boldly!
