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 embark or take their side hustle to the next level. The community is filled with really smart and like-minded individuals who are driven to build great businesses. Pat and team are also 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 problem solve-y, 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 those shoes and can help you get unstuck. I want to build things and the 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!
Thanks to the Academy, I set an ambitious goal of generating 18k this month. Early on, I upsold an existing project from 10k to 16k for the next three months. But the real game-changer came when I signed a 112k deal through the end of the year with the new service I developed during the Deep Sessions.
$56.1k / $40k revenue goal for the month. Spent a lot of deep work time prospecting, writing proposals, and pitching. I'm tired but wow was it 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.
