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.
I joined the Academy and set a goal to generate $10K/mo. Just 30 days later, I reached my goal, earning $10,047 in revenue! Feeling abundant - earning money from complete strangers on the internet never gets old.
Finally crossed 100k ARR on my SaaS project. The Academy (and deep work) was a huge part of making daily progress.
Wow. I set a goal to hit $40K in revenue this month, and I’m closing it out at $56K. Spent my deep work hours prospecting, writing proposals, and pitching. Man, I’m tired but it was so worth it.
That academy was ace. Feel like I've had the most unusual workout over the last month. Wouldn't have got here without deep focus. First month into Starter Story has been a game changer in how i approach getting sh*t done.
I achieved my goal of launching. And I've never come this close. Deep work feels like it's a part of how I operate now. And I love it. I would wake up every morning at 4am, log into starter story and get my deep work in, I hit the gym at 6am PST, and I've already won the day no matter what happens after that. Grateful.
I made more progress in the last 35 days than in 35 years prior. I went from having 100 ideas and 0 execution, to 1 idea and 100% ship fast mentality. I owe it all to a few moments of encouragement that I never got before, not for the lack of skill, but for the lack of trying. Don't wait. Start tonight. LFG!!!
Don't waste months or years trying to crack the code on how to start a business. Just join the Academy, listen, learn, and get shipping.
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.
