Uh, cause that's, that's what I knew.
I found out about this kind of on Reddit just as an idea.
And I'm like, Hey, this guy's doing cleaning.
I'll just do the same thing.

That's exactly what I did.
I mainly did it because I wanted to eventually leave and travel.
I wanted some sort of side hustle to do then.
It ended up becoming cleaning.

How much was that first job?
What did you get paid?
I think like a hundred bucks.
