When I'm desperate, I find a way out of my hole. Pain moves you to action. I've taken jobs in fast food, part time, hustling, lived with girlfriend's parents, joined the military, traded things, sold things, ate the shitty food, got the shitty car, lived in shitty places, screamed, cried, wondered "why?" But there's one thing I never did.. I never blamed somebody else for my situation. I was and am where I am by choice.
There's no such thing as "can't find work." There's "I'm too good for that" though.
There's no such thing as "can't make ends meet." There's "not willing to do what it takes." though.
There's no such thing as "greedy companies." There's an entitled victimized belief that "greedy companies" beat you down, though.
Phrases that aren't in my dictionary:
1) It's impossible
2) I can't
3) I quit
4) I deserve
5) I wish
6) How X should be..
7) Not my fault
OP wants to help people, that part is clear. The idea needs work. The mindset needs work. Beyond that, if he executes, who knows. Maybe he'll be the next TaskRabbit or Upwork. Like I said, impossible is NOT in my dictionary.
To OP, if you really think this solves a problem, and it's your life's mission, then just do it. Seek out my friends "What," "How," "Where," and "Who" to help you along the way.
My next steps would be to figure out how I can find out if anyone might use this, who specifically my target market is, what is the very next thing standing in my way from making this happen? What do I think I don't know that I need to learn to overcome that thing. Where do I go to take that next action? How much of an investment am I looking at to create an MVP? How can I come up with startup capital? If I get stuck, what else can I try, or how else can I work around this roadblock.
Google will be your best friend in this case.
