So I started out an associate program – in which I would employ the service of photographers to shoot for me. It was terrific at initially, when I only had 1 but the same matter occurred, I retained scheduling additional and a lot more and required much more and a lot more folks. I slowly begun getting additional guiding. I did not know what I was performing. I considered the far more I booked, the additional money I’ll be in and finally I will dig myself out of this. But it just kept acquiring even worse and worse.
