Joined Starter Story last week and I love how supportive they are! These guys are building something special and I'm all in.
Joining Starter Story was the best decision I made this year.
The Academy got me moving forward on things I wish I started 3-4 months ago. Thank you!
I don't think I ever would have taken the first step without Starter Story.
I can't think of a better place than Starter Story for the everyday person to take their side hustle to the next level. The community is filled with smart and like-minded individuals who are driven to build great businesses. Pat and team are highly involved with the community, bringing tremendous value and insights.
It's the real deal. Packed with 1,000s of case studies, a community that's helpful, and the Academy that keeps getting better. It's helped me see I'm not the only one asking questions or getting stuck. The best part is there's others who have been in your shoes and help you get unstuck. This community gives me the safety to test, play, get feedback, and celebrate the small wins.
This Academy caused me to hustle and get my biggest cash month to date + fastest outreach to close ever!
Wow. I set a goal to hit $40K in revenue this month, and I’m closing it out at $56.1K. Spent my deep work hours prospecting, writing proposals, and pitching. Man, I’m tired but it was so worth it.
Committing to the Academy actually got me off the sidelines & taking action. In the past, I'd have an idea like this, then sit on it for months without doing anything--or I might've reached out to a way smaller number of leads.
Wow. In just 15 months, I went from generating $1.5k to hitting $3k this month, and on track for $5k.
Having a supportive community (Starter Story) that normalizes success and growth was key.
- Time is your most valuable asset: don't waste another second stuck in the same place.
- You're not alone: hundreds of motivated individuals are building alongside you, ready to offer support and share in your successes.
- This isn't just about ideas: it's about execution, habit-building, and building your future.
