How it Works
We've Built the Foundation - You'll Build the Skills
Pillar 1: Essential Skills – We have detailed instructions so you can master the needed DIY skills.
Pillar 2: Strategic Planning – Follow our customized scheduling system that adapts to your life and home
Pillar 3: A Tenacious Spirit – We help you and yours develop tenacity so fierce that nothing holds you back.
Why you need all three
Imagine trying to maintain your home with just one or two of these elements:
- With Skills Alone, you’ll know how to fix things—but you’ll always be reacting to problems instead of preventing them.
- With Planning Alone, you’ll have great checklists—but struggle to put them into action.
- With Tenacity Alone, you’ll have determination—but waste time and money learning through trial and error.
- With Skills + Planning, you’ll know what to do—but might lose momentum when obstacles arise.
- With Planning + Tenacity, you’ll stay motivated—but lack the technical know-how to execute effectively.
- With Skills + Tenacity, you’ll work hard—but miss opportunities to prevent problems before they start.
