Let's get to know each other! We're all here to learn and grow, and knowing our starting point is really helpful. Tell us where you are on your journey, and be brave and tell us in the comments your next question, or what you're working on that you would like help with !

Hey you lovely lot 👋 If you’re reading this, you’ve made it into How to Start a Business with No Money (The official Startup with Adam Community) Welcome aboard!. We are so happy to see you, and look forward to getting to know you better, learn where you are and where you want to be with your business, and help you get there. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞!? Not everyone is lucky or privileged enough to have a rich Daddy with a small million dollar seed fund to help kickstart their ventures. I certainly didn't. we were dead poor growing up, and I was bankrupt at the age of 23. There was no such thing as crowd funding, or kickstarter funds in my day... Just a bank manager. And if they didn't like your idea then you had to build your thing without it! I've done OK, but I can't teach you everything you need to know on my own, so I've assembled a team of people who have all pledged to help you in their specific area of expertise. We have built this community for people who want to build a real business without a big budget, with support from Resident Experts who actually show up to help. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭? 1. Create a new post and tell us all about what you do and what you are hoping to learn from us in the Welcome Lounge. It's also a great place to hang out and meet other like minded people and make connections. 2. Go and check out the Meet the Resident Experts page, so that you can learn about all of us that shape this community. 3. If you have a specific question, then create a new post under the Ask a Resident Expert category. If you know who you want to answer your question then tag them in it. 4. Enjoy being part of the community! We're really glad you’re here. We look forward to getting to truly know you and helping you build your business however we can. If you haven't quite figured things out yet, that's fine too. Just hang around, ask questions and learn. If you are a seasoned expert yourself, then please feel free to join in, post value and help others here.

Brave is where you START. Not where you park your lawn chair and build a cabin. 🌲😏 Level 1 is packed right now which tells us that there are a whole lot of people standing at the edge of something bigger… they just haven’t jumped into the conversation yet. Here’s the good news: It only takes 5 points to move up to Level 2. FIVE. That’s it. And if you want the ability to fully jump into the community feed… you’ve gotta start engaging. Comment. Post. Encourage people. Be part of the room instead of hiding in the wallpaper. 🖤 𝗦𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: 👇 If you’re Level 3 and under, drop a comment below. Tell us: • what you do • what you’re building • or even just say “I’m here.” And everyone else... jump in and help get people leveled up! Reply to comments. Like posts. Start conversations. Pull people into the campfire instead of letting them stand outside in the cold. 🔥 Because nobody grows alone. And this community, and everyone in it, gets stronger every time someone decides to stop lurking and start showing up.𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟭 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.👏

We're excited you're here! One of our members asked a grat question in the comments of another post (this one with the poll, which if you haven't filled out, please do!) . She asked if there would be live events in the classroom and here's our answer! @Adam McCollough , our fearless leader, is working on organizing us resident experts for live events. Hang tight! They're coming! What kind of coaching is most interesting for you right now? Ask away in the comments, and whoever of us sees it, can call in another Expert to help if its not our area of expertise. Also, check out the Resident Expert offerings in the classroom. You can also click on the Resident Expert Introductions category here in the chat, and scroll through the introductions and find one that speaks to what you're working on and ask directly.
