One
side project can
change your life
- it changed mine.
If we haven’t met before - Hi, my name’s Pat 👋
One day in 2017, I got off my day job and walked to the nearest Starbucks.
I powered up my laptop, and
got started on a side project
I'd been thinking about for years.
^ this was me getting started on a side project that would change my life
I started off at
zero.
I knew absolutely nothing about building, launching, and especially marketing.
At first, I felt lost and unfocused. I had no direction. And getting traction felt nearly impossible.
Especially because I was trying to balance a full time job, work out, have a social life, and pay off $60K in debt.
That didn’t leave a lot of time to really sit down and focus on
anything.
But I knew I wanted one thing:
the freedom and flexibility to work on whatever I want, whenever I want, and from wherever I want...
And I believed a side project could get me there.
12 months later, I'd launched a side project that eventually
replaced my full time job income.
I couldn't believe it... In my eyes, I'd made it!
At that point, I made the decision to quit my job, buy back my time, and go all in.
I've since turned that side project into a million dollar business that's impacted over 100M people.
I genuinely look forward to Mondays - I get to wake up every day and do what I love.
I get messages every day from people saying my work changed their lives.
And I make more money in a single year than I would’ve made in 10 years working as a software engineer.
I know, it's
absolutely insane.
I think it’s fair to say that this side project completely changed my life.
And I fundamentally believe that if you take it seriously, anybody can start a side project that changes their life too.
So how do you do it? How do you unlock the power of the side project, the one that could turn into millions? Well, it’s pretty simple…
What if you could see
exactly
how side projects turn into millions in revenue?
Imagine being able to see exactly which ideas make money (and which don't)...
Imagine avoiding wasting years working on the wrong thing.
And feeling confident that you know exactly what you need to do with your project.
With Starter Story, you'll get access to the most intimate details behind 4,418+ successful online businesses, and:
- Learn how founders uncovered the idea that turned them into a millionaire… and exactly what that felt like.
- Get the lowdown on what niches actually make money… and get the confidence that you're working on the right thing.
- See exactly how $1M businesses grew… never waste months on the wrong marketing channel.
- Surround yourself with success... soak up the knowledge and learnings of the most successful founders in the world.

"How do I take the first step?"
>
"How do I know I'm working on the
right
thing?"
>
"How do I know I'm making the
right
progress every day?"
Finally, a place where you can ask these questions confidentially, get advice, and see exactly how successful founders did it before you.
You’re no longer building alone, because you have thousands of founders who are telling you to keep going.

One
side project can
change your life
- it changed mine.
If we haven’t met before - Hi, my name’s Pat 👋
One day in 2017, I got off my day job and walked to the nearest Starbucks.
I powered up my laptop, and
got started on a side project
I'd been thinking about for years.
^ this was me getting started on a side project that would change my life
I started off at
zero.
I knew absolutely nothing about building, launching, and especially marketing.
At first, I felt lost and unfocused. I had no direction. And getting traction felt nearly impossible.
Especially because I was trying to balance a full time job, work out, have a social life, and pay off $60K in debt.
That didn’t leave a lot of time to really sit down and focus on
anything.
But I knew I wanted one thing:
the freedom and flexibility to work on whatever I want, whenever I want, and from wherever I want...
And I believed a side project could get me there.
12 months later, I'd launched a side project that eventually
replaced my full time job income.
I couldn't believe it... In my eyes, I'd made it!
At that point, I made the decision to quit my job, buy back my time, and go all in.
I've since turned that side project into a million dollar business that's impacted over 100M people.
I genuinely look forward to Mondays - I get to wake up every day and do what I love.
I get messages every day from people saying my work changed their lives.
And I make more money in a single year than I would’ve made in 10 years working as a software engineer.
I know, it's
absolutely insane.
I think it’s fair to say that this side project completely changed my life.
And I fundamentally believe that if you take it seriously, anybody can start a side project that changes their life too.
So how do you do it? How do you unlock the power of the side project, the one that could turn into millions? Well, it’s pretty simple…
What if you could see
exactly
how side projects turn into millions in revenue?
Imagine being able to see exactly which ideas make money (and which don't)...
Imagine avoiding wasting years working on the wrong thing.
And feeling confident that you know exactly what you need to do with your project.
With Starter Story, you'll get access to the most intimate details behind 4,418+ successful online businesses, and:
- Learn how founders uncovered the idea that turned them into a millionaire… and exactly what that felt like.
- Get the lowdown on what niches actually make money… and get the confidence that you're working on the right thing.
- See exactly how $1M businesses grew… never waste months on the wrong marketing channel.
- Surround yourself with success... soak up the knowledge and learnings of the most successful founders in the world.

>
"How do I take the first step?"
>
"How do I know I'm working on the
right
thing?"
>
"How do I know I'm making the
right
progress every day?"
Finally, a place where you can ask these questions confidentially, get advice, and see exactly how successful founders did it before you.
You’re no longer building alone, because you have thousands of founders who are telling you to keep going.
