Read time: 1 min. 47 sec. âSit down. Shut the f*ck up. And listen.â Thatâs how I hyped myself as I walked into Bean & Bean (coffee shop in NYC). I was about to meet a founder 10x more successful than me. At the time, Starter Story was a few months old, and I was stuck. A little traction, sure. But I still had no idea what the hell I was doing. But for some reason, this guyâa founder of a multi-million dollar businessâagreed to let me buy him coffee. I was nervous as hell. Why? 1) He was super successful.
2) He had built something very similar to what I wanted.
3) I only had ONE hour. I showed up early, but he was already there. Ah, fuck I sat down and immediately did the one thing I promised myself I wouldnât doâI started blabbering on about my idea. He cut me off mid-sentence. âPat⦠what you built so far is awesome. I'm a big fan. I think you're going places. I wanna help.â I was floored. Did. not. expect. that. I took a breath and asked him a simple question: âHonestly, I just want to learn about your journey. How did you build this?â For the next hour, he shared everything: his successes, failures, goals, and tactics. No fluff, just the real sh*t. All superrrr contextual stuff. In that hour, I barely talked, I just let him roll. Every time he stopped talking, I just asked another question. And another. And another. I swearâI learned more in that ONE hour than I had in 100s of hours in front of my computer. After our meeting, I spent the rest of my day at work thinking about what we talked about. It clarified... everything. I knew exactly what I needed to do next. This was the moment I realized I wasnât meant to figure everything out alone. See, at the time, I didnât know anyone else starting a business like this. Everyone around me was stuck in 9-5 mode - I had no one to turn to for help/guidance/advice. But in that one conversation, I realized something: All you need is someone to look you in the eye and say, âIâve been there. Youâve got this.â Thatâs exactly what you and I will do together in the Founderâs Club. Today is the final day to join and get 25% off. After this, I can't say when I'll open up more spots... Iâm keeping the group very small so I can give you my full attention. Founderâs Club is built for founders like youâwho are serious about growing their businesses but donât want to do it alone. Hereâs what you'll get:
