52: John & Connie Bunyard of Use My Guy Services

A little about our guests.
John and Connie have been married for 34 years and have seven children, ranging in age from 15 to 32. Connie homeschooled all the kids while John worked in the service industry as a pool builder, then later in concrete, electrical and plumbing.
John and Connie and the kids still at home live on an acre property where they raise some animals and enjoy farm life.
Four of the seven children work in the family business. Three are handymen and one works in the office with Connie.
A little about their business.
After a number of years working as a pool builder, mobile home park manager (where he became licensed in electrical, plumbing and concrete to add 100 spaces to the park, landscape contractor and the part-time in a hardware store when the economy took a down-turn, John started Use My Guy Services at the suggestion and with the support of his wife.
They created the business part-time 5 years ago while John was still at the hardware store. Being consistent and giving great service has led to a referral business and repeat customers. Three of the boys are learning the trades and working with John. Connie and her daughter work in the office and do all the networking.
One piece of advice (the nutshell version)
Always be ready to forgive and always give without any thought of return.
