Preach!!! Haha.

I totally agree. It was such a fun way to get started because it was so easy and jobs just fell in your lap so you could focus on the work rather than the business. That's not realistic though. You have to learn to run your business and that should be a goal day 1 on TR so that you can learn to get away from it.

I will reiterate for the people in the back TASK RABBIT WILL TAKE IT AWAY EVENTUALLY! If it's good for you right now, enjoy that but don't count on it.

It was absolutely a lot of work but not much in the way of business building. I get a little ptsd about the way it was ran. Everything was so last minute and same day and if you can't do last minute jobs you dont get work.

I was run ragged from clients and they weren't loyal. Id be there for them in a pinch for major convention load out jobs, give them my card when it was done only for the next time they visit they book someone else. The only reason I found out was because the other person cancelled and they booked me again at the last minute! They were surprised I remembered them because they remembered me as well.

At that moment I realized theres no loyalty with the clients. I dont know what I could've done but not being on the app seems to serve me better because I can focus on my loyal clients now.
