This is my starter story :) What did you think of the video?

it's mindblowing to me how could little things make a huge difference.

[@memedaddyz]

how to get out from being poor, I'm broke and f tired of it

[@theculturecaravan996]

very good job, do you personally write the articles? how did you search for starter stories to add to your website?

[@MrClubCrypto]

I think it was 🔥🔥🔥

[@waleedelaghil]

Love it, and I'm a huge fan ❤ Although the problem statement of "How to... how to" (min 1:40) is a bit hard to believe by your target audience (I hope I'm one of them lol). It just doesn't resonate and feels like all other "make money" gurus pitch. I would rather suggest you focus on problems around practicality that relate to us, database of cases studies to gey motivated and easily drive tactics/strategies, etc. I'm honestly not subscribing to get answers for the questions highlighted in the video... there's tons of solutions around that, and ChatGPT is the best alternative

[@amaninthekitchen]

"Every single day I was giving myself a chance to become lucky" - Such a great quote

[@MsGoldmind7]

I’ve been a Starter Story fan for months now. Loved hearing your backstory of how it all began. You’ve really inspired me to take focused action. Thank you!

[@iqballeswara]

Amazing video and an even more amazing story, Pat. I've been watching your channel from the Justin Welsh episode. And I've got to say this is the best one yet! The idea of a contract with yourself is game-changing. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@beco5002]

loved the video! it really resonated with me because I'm still at that point where I keep delaying starting, It was really motivating, would love a part 2 where you go into more detail about the last 5 years and how you scaled the business.

[@Dennis_Troeger]

Your video shows something to me: Success is a mind game. If we aren't good at that game, we lose. Your deep work strategy proofs it. I quit my job 7 days ago. I am unemployed and want to build an online empire. What motivates me is your approach: "I can make a product out of the questions I have myself". That's what I am doing, too. Asking: Which mindsets, strategies, etc. helped to become successful!

[@JapanArtInFrame]

Super inspirational , Pat! You describe very well what entrepreneurs are going through in the very beginning. Congrats for not giving up and being consistent ! And cheers for many more sponsorships and beautiful stories!

[@LesterDiaz]

Love this story. Sometimes fears holds us back and we get stuck in this phase of what if, I had my own starter story a while back and went through a lot of setbacks and mistakes before deciding to go all in.

[@batmanbillions]

my fear broke after God sent a message "what if it works" ...thanks to a guy who wrote that....grateful...

[@martinking4615]

I appreciate the way you narrate the story - straightforward yet incredibly inspiring.

[@EricLawtonForbes]

I’ve been watching starter story for a year or two, great content! I really enjoyed hearing about your starter story.

[@lourensstrydom9707]

So simple, yet so profound. This was really encouraging and inspiring. This sounds just like me. The way you walked past that Starbucks every morning. Thank you! All the way from South Africa

[@hnnhml]

love your way of story telling! this video is so good and inspiring, thank you for sharing!

[@anonybule1794]

i loved the video and the truth honesty, the real story we should hear. and i am also here starting my business work, and i hope you can remember this comment where i started. i hope i can be on one of your stories one day to inspire others, after i actually make it. much love

[@TinaMartinez97]

I just found you and you just described how I feel right now in the first few minutes of your story. You seem like such a nice and likable guy. I will take this video as inspiration! THANK YOU

[@tinashemurimba9017]

This is so motivating, currently in my 3rd year of Uni studying Marketing and this just made me more motivated to go all in for my e-commerce business

[@wastedskaternz1100]

really loved your story man, coincidental I was talking about deep work to my partner the other day, congratulations on your achievements and the big and small wins in your life, much love from New Zealand

[@muhammadtawhidulislamdeen3985]

Thank you, my brother, for finally sharing the long-awaited story I've been eagerly anticipating.

[@GamingNewsSummary]

I am on a similar journey but the part that motivates me the most is the image of me as an old man looking back and regretting not going for it as you mentioned. I am always hoping for a better future and working as hard as I can to get there!

[@missoularealestatephotography]

Oh my gosh. This hit me hard. I have been a year and half full time on my business and all these feelings leaving a 6 figure a year job is exactly where I was. This is so what I needed right now. Thank you for sharing.

[@hellodaviddunn]

I'd love to learn more about how you were able to come up with the concept of Starter Story; more of the mechanics behind how you came up with the concept itself while finding your focus. For example, on Day 1, what were some of the things you were doing when you were in your flow state (what were you writing on the sticky notes, how did you prioritize things, etc.)? Great video. Love what you're doing.

[@Patrickltighe]

Great video! Inspiring especially going through a similar process now. From one Pat to another - Happy St. Pats!

[@lyriczz801]

Man you are a Genius for real for real. Like you gave us a very nice story about your start up business and advertise it as well. SMART Respect bro

[@justinlee4434]

love your story brother! somehow I came across this on YT and this definitely motivated me to keep @ it on my businesses , thanks man!

[@patricethrives8830]

I needed to hear this today. Thanks Pat.

[@PhucLe-si5jg]

Thank you for sharing your story. Now, I have the confidence to do my dream project. I am appreciated it. Keep doing your best.

[@TerriTerriHotSauce]

I really needed to hear this. Thank you!

[@jerelleb2435]

This is one of the best things I’ve seen. Thank you for you’re commitment to your dream.

[@ianmichael3912]

Absolutely love this story! Would love an in depth breakdown of the steps you took/project plan. Lots of ppl love the idea of taking action, but don’t know what to do

[@monkeymanmedia]

Loved this video. Entrepreneur stories are so fascinating to listen to because they're always so very closely relatable. I was hoping this video and the story would have gone a little longer because I'm exactly at the point with my business right now as you were when you got the $12k deposited into your account. Keep it up!

[@GrayHastePictures]

Appreciate the story and share man. Great vid on the how it “starts” 💯

[@alpompeu]

im from Brazil and your site is exactly what I needed 2y ago... unfortunately I closed my silk screen studio. But, today I'm still need a extra money (and constant inspiration). Thanks!!!

[@AdrianPuiu]

Such an inspiring story. Looking forward to see what else you have on your channel 😊

[@jasoncpatemusic]

Just found this channel today, loving it already!! 🥳

[@Glenn.Cooper]

Great video. Great story. Great channel!! Keep knockin' it out of the park!!

[@mmcghee5209]

Dude I freaking love you! Amazing story bro! Gives me hope!

[@mrmacman04]

I rarely comment, but I just have to say: this has become my favorite channel. I've followed you on twitter for a while, and I'm so glad you're putting these videos out now. Superb on every level, and so fitting to the Starter Story portfolio.

[@khayzwholewildtv5938]

greatest video on youtube, self improvement, this is incredible. thank you bro

[@mgraff5003]

Loved hearing your story! Best of luck and wish continued success. Hoping to do the same now but watching the end and how you mentioned to take action really stuck. Taking action is the best way to learn.

[@KongLor]

I needed this video so much in my life right now. Thank you so much!

[@techyjourney3098]

Congratulations ! But also what's important to say is save money before going all in. Things could happen outside of our control, make sure you can live up till 6 months or more until you can have some revenue from it. Good luck to everyone out there ! No risk no glory !

[@juliana4828]

Thank you for sharing your story and all the best as you continue to grow.

[@isakxiirey4213]

i found out this channel today while i was dealing losses of my own business and already subscribed. Thanks for the sharing all the way from SOMALIA🤙.

[@mattiamadaro7454]

Love your story Pat and this video! I love that a big change came through Deep Work and that you reminded me that this is a crucial step in making progress. Keep going :-)

[@isaac3252]

Awesome vid, great story, congratulations on the success, well deserved.

[@trainsandmodelshungary]

Thank you so much for the video, I found it helpful and inspirational! I’m at a similar situation as you were back before you decided to finally sit in that Starbucks.

[@ibrahimahmedbulale9836]

Your hard work payed off. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@c-cg]

Awesome video, I'm currently reading Deep Work and starting my journey on a similar path to how you began!

[@LorenzoPifferi]

The best part is the power of focus and how efficient we are in the right state of mind. This changed me a lot back then. And I am daydreaming to change my life again, kudos to those who sit on the flow and overcome their fears.

[@MrDeSilva-oh9if]

hey bro, this is such an inspiration to me,, your story should empower me to get into the "starbucks" in my journey, to put those 2 hours of deep work a day in my life project...props to you man,,,appreciate your contribution and you sharing ,,I kept thinking I was the only one to procrastinate,,and as you said it ,,, Idont want to get to the end of my road called life asking my self "...what if?..." thank you for showing the way! thank you for showing that it could be done, and thank you for taking the time to tell the rest of us, thank you! and cheers from the Panama Canal.

[@HussainDaveham]

Your story depicts sincerely and honesty. You are right I ! If each one of us puts 2 hours every day for our passion with the idea that 2 hours are like our life saving drugs , I am sure we can hit $ Million

[@WilliamNot]

This video was fantastic, thank you for this motivational video to show your entrepreneurial journey! I love these kinds of videos

[@ZacharyTeunis]

Thanks man, I needed this

[@IamDavidGauthier]

Great starter story, congrats! I went online fulltime around the same time but kept a poor mindset the first 3 years. Then things really picked up in 2021 and I haven't looked back since. These videos are a great source of inspiration to keep pushing.

[@roshanchander]

Timely video and inspiring story. Love all your vids - binge watched them over the holidays.

[@rueaguillon7114]

Thank you for making this channel. It is very inspirational for people like me, who wants to do some changes in their life but don`t know exactly where to start. Looking forward for more videos! God speed!

[@vinceehill]

Love this story!!! Very inspiring

[@McSlothin]

That's crazy, I recognize your posts from reddit. I was always drawn to opening your posts and reading through.

[@couldbeAlex]

This was actually pretty inspiring. Was always wondering how a blog could make people money, seems to be affiliate marketing links and or google ads. Gives me some ideas.

[@fredintech]

Amazing storytelling, congrats!

[@rohidjetha]

Amazing video and story, really inspiring!

[@jasonpaulsonrealtorontheru4745]

This is what I needed, thank you!!!

[@LucianoDevoto]

Congrats legend! Good things come to those who are willing to take risks and be in the arena

[@TheLastCodebender]

Really inspirational man!

[@osamedeuzzi3978]

I cannot wait to see what you do in the future Pat! Keep on inspiring.

[@Cloudnine2024]

I love the post it trick! Focus on one thing. I always get overwhelmed by to do lists and apps, but this seems simple and effective

[@wealthpotion]

Inspiring story, and love that you got to tell your own Starter Story, Pat 😊 If you don’t mind sharing, how many newsletter subscribers did you have when that Klaviyo sponsorship landed?

[@bmartinslx9]

for some reason I ended up here, great video, and I’m standing right at the “Starbucks phase” to start something on my own. Thank you for this inspirational video. I’m feeling exactly the same as you felt full of fears ! Appreciated

[@YHWH1315]

All the best!

[@LanikaFashionisticCoore]

😅I love the ending. Your story was so inspiring and motivating, I feel like I am currently in the same position. I have the fear of really taking action of starting a business, even though I know I have the potential and know what to do

[@badelife]

2015 had a car crash and created an idea, same year interviewed a developer to start it in a starbucks, since then the starbucks moments for me are priceless, 2021 that idea passed the 1M USD in ARR. Aamazing story Pat, thanks for sharing it, cheers from Mexico!

[@pablopeter5676]

Hey man! I’m also from Mexico. I’m really curious about you and your business. What is it about? I’m curious because I’ve seen all these success stories from people around the world but I struggle to find stories about fellow Mexicans. I’m wondering why.

[@mobiledevlife]

This video got randomly on my feed, but I resonate so much with your story! 🤩 and fun fact: I play tennis too! 😂 Glad to have found you and your channel, new subscriber earned (and hopefully new guest in a distant future).

[@Timolukanni]

Inspirational! Thanks for sharing

[@lizneke7119]

This was such a cool story, thanks for sharing!

[@EmpStateXplorer]

The video gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing

[@felipwashere]

Love this man! Inspiring indeed... Def gonna go get starbucks more often.

[@abdulmajeed-kx1xf]

U got another subscriber, let’s goo man awesome work

[@mrproducerbeast]

I hope this is genuine story and not a marketing boost for Starbucks. Since we all know their sales are affected from the boycott

[@benmathew8773]

Thank you for sharing your story.❤

[@Joe.Florence]

I was meant to see this video. I recently left my first job out of college (9.5 months in) with no true plans because it wasn’t serving the future I envisioned for myself (I understand this isn’t the brightest idea) . Every morning on the way to the gym, I see a Starbucks I tell myself I need to go into and do deep work in. My alarm is set for tomorrow. Thanks for the great video and congrats on the success.

[@dankelly]

Congrats! The Justin Welsh episode was my favorite.

[@laralara5193]

Thank you for the encouragement!

[@AmineSdour]

Love it! Keep crushing it !!

[@lesphd]

Great story! I love the concept of deep work squeezed into a full time job. At the time, I was doing 2 master programs at the same time and I had to write 2 theses while doing a full time apprenticeship. So every evening after work I went to prêt coffee shop, which is an analog to Starbucks, but with a coffee subscription and had 3 cups of hot drinks that made at least 1,5 hours of deep work with short pomidoro-like intervals. Who knows, maybe it's time to think about the business and renew the subscription?! 🧐

[@Because_Reasons]

Love the story and the video, congrats! Can't wait to see you grow and soar even more. Would love a video on specifically the failures you experienced with starter story. You said you failed a ton, those failures are even more valuable.

[@1783W]

Starter story I’ve been following for awhile. Great to know about its history.

[@thatbusinesstrainer1414]

Fantastic video! "Every single day I was giving myself a chance to become lucky"...amazing!

[@Todd-Holder]

bro your camera placement is god level love it

[@RapartiChaitanya]

Keep them coming Pat. Hope one day I get to showcase mine. Thank you.

[@MPTennis]

Great video Pat! Congrats on your success. I am where you were when you started making content for Starter Story. Hopefully I can trend in the same direction as you did. I am still in college, but love creating content to help people who watch and read my content. Once I am done with my tuition maybe I can sign up for your offer. 😅 Also, great to see that you play tennis. How often do you play?

[@seraphine5305]

Your story is so inspiring.

[@reissww]

An inspiring story. Thanks for sharing

[@andyloren4826]

Amazing, thanks for sharing it!

[@KristenWhalen]

Wow! Such an inspiring video!!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Jet-settingwithaTinyTourist]

The war against procrastination. This was a nice story, great example of how to change your disciplines for success

[@SirePip]

Pat, this is a great story but its even better because its real. It sounds almost identical to the Millionare Fast Lane, both are a motivation! Thanks for sharing.

[@prfatal]

Super inspiring!!

[@chestercmorante]

Consistency is really the key 🙌🏻

[@AnaMarcu]

I would love it if you could expand on how you continue to make money during “the rest is history” part of the story. ❤ Great video!

[@joshualenguyen2957]

@starterstory That ending was funny. Thank you so much for these videos. You're channel is probably the only channel that is worth my time. I have a quick question: would you mind sharing with me what books you have read that have contributed to your success besides Deep Work? I'm really trying to make something of myself. I would be grateful to hear of anything. You are the absolute, man! - a dood who lives paycheck to paycheck in Downtown Brooklyn.

[@mauriciorivero]

Inspiring story dude!

[@phil.vision]

Nothing happens overnight! This is a GREAT STORY!!!
