Video Transcript
Alright, let's just story.
Six years ago, I started a business.
Today, that business makes over a million dollars a year.
But what nobody knows is that I built it inside of a Starbucks.
At the time, I was working a full-time job.
I'm still working my nine to five job right here.
And that left me with only two hours a day
to build the business of my dreams.
But there was still one problem.
I was suffocated by self-doubt.
I didn't believe I could do it.
Then I found something that would change my life forever.
Today I'm gonna tell you that story.
I'm Pat Walls and this is my starter story.
All right, this is me in the summer of 2017.
I'm 26 years old, I've got a great job
on making six figures in New York City
and by all accounts, living the life of my dreams.
But deep down, I know that something isn't right.
Every day I go to work and do the same shit.
Clock in, a few Zoom meetings, eat lunch,
punch, write a few lines of code, and clock out.
This work leaves me feeling empty every day.
I know this isn't what I meant to do.
I know there's something missing.
See, here's the truth.
And it might be something you felt at some point too.
Secretly, in the back of my head,
I dream about the idea of quitting my job
and starting my own business.
In my free time, I'm reading business books
and romanticizing about being able to wake up
and work on whatever I want.
But I keep running into the same problem.
I have no idea where to start.
How do I find a good idea?
How do I know it can make money?
How do I take the first step?
I couldn't find this information anywhere online, and that's when I had my light bulb
moment.
I can turn these questions into a product.
I'll just research successful businesses, write about my findings on a blog, and share
them with others who also want to learn.
And I didn't think this was going to be a big thing.
I was just genuinely interested in this stuff.
So this is the beginning of the idea, but it's not all peaches and cream from there.
This idea, it nags at me for months.
Every single day I tell myself I'll get started on it, but I never do.
And this is where Starbucks comes into play.
So let me pull up a map and show you.
