Starter Story has been with me on my journey to over 28K YouTube subscribers. It’s an incredible place to learn how to build a successful business - fast.

I don't think I ever would have taken the first step without Starter Story.

Starter Story gave me permission to start a business. Was watching in the sidelines for years but seeing others do it helped me realize there’s nothing exclusive about it. Now I run my own!

I made over $5,000 from my Starter Story membership in a week!

It’s really magical to have an accountability group when you’re like me and have been working solo for a long time.

I feel like I'm shipping and getting things done like never before.

At first I was skeptical if this was worth the money. In hindsight, Starter Story has been one of the best investments I've made.

I've made amazing connections in a very short amount of time. The founders in this community are accomplished, smart, savvy, and business gritty people.
