"I don't know where to start." You don't have to figure anything out. Boston builds the system. Your Day 1 is: show up to the job. That's it.
"What if nobody calls?" Post on Facebook Marketplace and Nextdoor the day you go live. Most partners get their first job within 48 hours of posting.
"What if I'm bad at it?" The AI handles the hard parts — phone calls, booking, customer questions. You just do the work. If you can follow instructions and show up on time, you're qualified.
"What if it doesn't work and I look dumb?" It costs $0. Nobody has to know unless you tell them. Worst case, you wasted a Saturday and learned something.
"My friends are making millions on TikTok." No they're not. $500/week at 16 puts you ahead of 99% of your peers. That's real money. Theirs isn't.
"I'll start next week." Every week you wait is money you didn't make. The first job is the hardest. After that, it gets easier fast.
This is not complicated, but you need to know exactly how it works before your first call.
