BACK IN 2013 I HAD A FAILING COMPANY, another one. And it was tough. And it was tough. So you press a button on your phone and someone would do any errand that you wanted to do. And that didn't work for a number of reasons. I can get into that later or a different video. Didn't work. And so we ended up pivoting it to a cleaning service. Side note, services are terrible businesses. Never a service business unless you have no other options or you just love doing that service.
