How I Built A $1M Business From This Starbucks

Hey, I'm Pat. This is the story of how I went from a 9-5 accounting job, to making over $1M/year with my dream business.

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

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

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!

[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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

[bmartinslx]

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

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!

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 !
