Thank you Wade1mil,
Great questions!
I am still reading The Millionaire Fastlane . I am on chapter 20 currently. I have a lot more to learn. All my business partners have finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane . After reading this book, our business model is following a similar model to Task Rabbit. Our previous model lacked passivity--huge flaw. I spent my own time running errands; I was thinking like a self-employed person rather than a business owner.
Task Rabbit will be our competitor; however, our focus is on businesses. We will help anyone (including household errands). However, businesses have more money. Task Rabbit focuses on household errands while we run errands specifically for businesses.
Task Rabbit has many flaws; our goal is to make Errand Runner USA a better version of Task Rabbit. Some examples of Task Rabbit's flaws: weak customer service. Clients have to post their jobs online in great detail before talking with a human. Errand Runner USA will allow the clients to talk with our contractors to discuss tasks/errands. The clients will have the choice of calling Errand Runner USA's number and talk with me (hopefully we can hire a manager soon) to find a suitable contractor, or the client can directly call a contractor they are interested in hiring.
As for multitasking, men's and women's brains function differently. Most men are not as good at multitasking as women. Furthermore, most women are not as good at focusing on one thing at a time as men. This is what I have researched and learned. Bobbi Palmer (Date Like A Grown-up), Alison Armstrong (PAX), and a few books (sorry, I can't remember the titles) are some of my references. For example, most programmers are males because it requires intense single focused tasks. Many females are secretaries/customer service representatives (answering phones, making appointments, talking to people standing in front of them).
I tried making this message as short as possible. I hope it's not too long! Do you or anyone else have any other advice for me?
Thank you so much for your time Wad1mil! Time has a new meaning to me since I have read the book
