What if you had EVERYTHING you needed to start your business today?
Imagine you have ALL of the resources and money that you need to start your business. What is the first thing that you would do, and at what exact point would you get stuck? This is the little bit we need a creative solution for. And it does exist when you know exactly what you are looking for.

@Adam McCollough I would hire a marketing and promo specialist because that's where I fall short...
Anyone else up working late?
What's everyone else working on tonight? I'm outlining training modules.

I usually work early. I generally do my best work before noon. My days can start anywhere between 4 and 6 a.m.

@Shasta Palmer yes and the internet is faster because less people are online using bandwidth.

I want to make sure we’re providing the exact help you need. I’m not here posing with a rented Lamborghini trying to sell you a generic "blueprint." I’ve done all the things and don't have to work any more. I can help you if you want the same. I'm really not a good bragger, but I'll attempt to demonstrate that I really know what I'm talking about... My journey started at rock bottom and led to building real-world business assets - from my early graphic design / printing business and toy store chains in Devon and Cornwall with muti-channel e-commerce sales, to our current manufacturing gifts brand. Along the way, we’ve coded our own bespoke CRM systems (well before AI made it easy), I have partnerships with several other businesses from micro-bakeries to wool shops. and we've grown an expanding property portfolio of houses, shops, and holiday lets, (in fact, we're buying two more shops right now) and I've enjoyed every minute of building this life. If I listened to the "gurus" I'd have chosen one thing, and "focused" and had "one boring offer" blah blah... This is not what true entrepreneurs do - I've got loads of exciting things going on - always have, always will! Entrepreneurs just do whatever excites them - whatever they want to do, and run with it! 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻, 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁! 𝗡𝗼-𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻! 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝘁𝗼, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢! I’ve seen the "zero-capital" mindset work at every level, and where I have weaknesses (yes, we ALL have strengths AND weaknesses!), our Resident Experts fill the gaps. Whether you’re launching a mobile valeting service, a digital marketing agency, or a handmade furniture brand, between us all, we can help you tailor a plan to move forward without putting any of your own money at risk. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄: Tell me exactly what the business is (e.g., "A local plumbing firm" or "A Shopify store for eco-toys") and what is currently stopping you from getting it off the ground.

I'm working on building offline/IRL. My goal is to start a metal fabrication business making a range of things such as heavy-duty BBQ/Firepit grills, custom grill solutions, Functional art pieces, and eventually decorative metal security fencing and gate solutions. The last one has to wait until I can afford to hire a properly trained welder with structural welding experience. My end goal is to be a Job maker, not a job taker... with a focus on hiring Veterans and persons with disabilities.

@Adam McCollough I've spoken to a few qualified folks with a similar proposal. In my area, I've found that there are two types of welders: those who want to work for an hourly rate, and those who already have a welding business and do not currently want to take on any more "business options" at this time. I'm going to have to come up with a different offer or tweak some numbers to make it more enticing... I'll be focusing more on that once I have my starting/core product catalogue sussed out. The fact that I didn't have a set product catalogue at the time may have made me sound scatterbrained...
I Need Your Advice: Help Me Build Our Next Step
Last night I sat down for a raw strategy session with Goose Dunlavey to pull apart my coaching offer and pricing. If you know me, you know I don't believe in generic "blueprints". I believe every business requires a specific action plan based on your unique skills and resources. Normally, my 1:1 coaching rate is £300 ($400) an hour. But I want to package my brain, my problem-solving, and my experience into an offer that actually fits our "Start a Business with No Money" ethos, while still giving you the high-level mentorship you need to break through your roadblocks. I originally had a plan to launch a $97 and $297 tier. But Goose told me that multiple offers can cut conversions in HALF (He knows Skool a lot better than me). He challenged me to drop the tiers entirely and offer a single, flat-rate $600/month mastermind strictly capped at 20 people to ensure that I am able and willing to deliver the best attention you deserve, so everyone gets massive results. Now, I'm torn... You are the Builders of this community, and you are the heartbeat of this clubhouse. I don't want to guess what you need, so I'm asking you directly. If you were to upgrade to get more direct help from me, which of these three models would you most likely sign up for, and why? These are just EXAMPLES of what the final offer/s could look like: (Please be brutally honest. I won't hold you to it, and nobody is pulling out a credit card today! I just genuinely value your opinion and want to create an offer that works for us all!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option 1: The "Hot Seat" Group Tier ($97 / month) - The Vibe: Cheaper, larger group setting where you learn from others' challenges. - What you get: Weekly live focus group sessions where we do "Business Teardowns". You might get a quick 5-10 minute hot seat to let my ADHD-powered brain solve your immediate problem. Plus, you get full access to my paid Substack vault, the resource library, and a 20% discount if you ever want to book a 1:1 call with me.

@Adam McCollough I'm not sure what to suggest. I know my budget won't allow for any options right now, at least until I get some product made and sold for some cash flow.
This is seriously not how I planned to start my Wednesday! 😖
Why is it always on the days when you have deadlines, calls, and so many things to do.. I'd literally only just got the computer set up perfectly after It got hacked in March. I was struggling today before I even turned the computer on 🫣 I hope you're having a much more productive day and if you're not then know you're not alone!!

@Adam McCollough Sometimes issues like this crop up from bad registry entries. If i have been shuffling software off and on my PC more than usual, I usually run a program called Ccleaner to back up and remove orphaned registry entries. Windows is a really poor housekeeper when it comes to removing software and drivers and tends to leave loads of orphaned files and settings behind. If you want to shoot me a DM we can try and coordinate a live call and I can maybe walk you through using Ccleaner...

@Adam McCollough cool, if you're already familiar with Ccleaner that makes things easier as it can have a bit of a learning curve.
