Hey all, welcome again to Operator Academy! This is where ambitious builders come to turn ideas into actual deals. Me and Sev built this community for both aspiring high-performance operators and seasoned entrepreneurs of all industries and fields to hang out, sharing what works, and figuring things out together. What you'll find here: - Real skills from people who've been in the trenches - Solid connections with builders who actually ship stuff - Deal opportunities from idea stage all the way to getting paid Everyone here brings something to the table. We swap war stories, celebrate each other's wins, and help out when things get tough. 🎯 What to Expect - Tactical Playbooks – frameworks, systems, and templates you can apply this week. - Case Studies & Breakdowns – real deals, real operator moves, lessons learned. - Accountability & Feedback – progress threads, office hours, and constructive critique. - Zero Fluff – no get-rich-quick, no spam, no scams. Quality > volume. - 🗓 Posting Schedule (Mon/Wed/Fri) We publish three times a week (America/Chicago): - Playbook, template, or course module. - Case study, teardown, or newsletter briefing. - Video lesson, live/AMA recap, or operator Q&A highlights. - Bonus drops may happen if a lesson or resource is time-sensitive. 💡 Membership Model - Free until ~100–150 members. - Founding members get lifetime free access. If you’re in before the threshold, you’re locked in forever. - Paid after the cap to maintain signal, fund high-quality resources, and filter out trolls, “get rich quick” seekers, and scammers. 📌 Community Standards (Read This) - Be specific. Ask sharp questions; share context and constraints. - Show your work. Post your systems, drafts, or numbers when asking for feedback. - No cold DMs without consent. Build in public here first. - No shilling or spam. Tools/resources are fine—disclose affiliations. - Operate with integrity. We remove low-effort or predatory behavior.

Become the person who can make any business work. What this is A training ground for high-performance operators. Not another “start a business” group. We synthesize proven principles and turn them into cross-industry playbooks you can apply to e-commerce, SaaS/app dev, game dev, real estate, services—even a lemonade stand. Who this is for Ambitious builders who want transferable skills: systems, testing, negotiation, decision-making, and the psychology to stick with hard things.
