First Customer
The day a stranger pays you, you are a founder.
Stage intro
Everything until now was practice. This is where it gets real. Someone pays you money.
These are the hardest chapters in the track, because they ask you to be seen and to hear no. They take you out to create demand on purpose, put a clear offer at a fair price on one page you can send to anyone, and walk you through getting one stranger to pay you for the first time.
You are ready to leave this stage the day one stranger pays you real money for real work.
Chapter 1
Go and Create Demand
Go to the people who have the problem on purpose, every day, instead of waiting for them to find you.
Chapter 2
Your Offer, Your Page, Your Price
Make what you sell, why it helps, and what it costs clear in ten seconds, then set a price that respects the work.
Chapter 3
