How To Find A $1M Business Idea

•

Updated: July 26th, 2024

Hi! I'm Pat Walls, the creator of Starter Story.

You might know me from YouTube or Twitter, what you may not know about me is that I've built and launched over 26 startups and projects.

7 years ago, I was in $65,000 of debt with a regular full-time job. I had zero followers, zero experience, and no idea what I was doing. Over the course of a few short years, I changed my life by studying successful businesses and implementing everything I found that worked.

In addition to my own stuff, I've studied over 5,000 successful online businesses (and seen many more failed ones) - I wanted to share everything I've learned about how people find business ideas.

Here's what you'll get:

(1) 31+ Video Modules: Everything I know about $1M business ideas
(2) Core Concepts: Fundamentals of Founder-Market Fit and Painful Problems
(3) Downloadable Spreadsheet: Find and track $1M problems worth solving
(4) Live Exercise & Demonstration: We'll find $1M business ideas, together!

Why does this work?

I’ve studied over 5,000 successful internet businesses and talked to thousands of successful (and failed) entrepreneurs.

By understanding the principles of (1) founder-market fit and (2) focusing on real problems, you will uncover business opportunities that are right in front of you.

About the course

I’ll walk you through my process of finding a $1M business idea LIVE. You’ll learn to identify problems worth solving and turn them into profitable business ideas.

You can take this at your own pace, and you'll have access to it forever. If you have questions, you can email me anytime.

Requirements for the course

I recommend having time, patience, and a long-term mindset. These experiments take time. It’s beneficial if you already have a business idea, but starting from scratch works too!
