  • Absolutely inspiring to see Dawson's journey from 9-5 to a $1M app. For entrepreneurs looking to emulate his success, remember the importance of validating your app idea with potential users before diving into development; it can save you months of work and significantly increase your chances of success. Focus on solving a real problem and the revenue will follow.

  • Why is everyone pointing out the obvious? 😂 Ofc, a person who has no coding experience or any skill whatsoever can make an app in 5 hours then end up making 1M. Take this story as an inspiration. You don’t know how to code? Then start learning! Don’t know anything about opening a business? Then go learn! Don’t know what problem to solve? Go look for problems. I am 2.8yrs in my career as a software engineer and I have finally found a problem to solve 🙏🏽 perhaps, I will one day be in one of these videos 🤘🏽 Great work Pat!

    • At the end of the day he got us to view his channel which is likely his primary source of income not his website so he already won by getting the engagement. Financial KZhead cpm funds all of these guys to make viral videos not to care about the truth. There's lack of proof for any of this guys claims other than the guys word or his own websites etc. This makes me question if its the same for "4000" huge success stories we hear about. There are definitely some true successes among the pile but remember they're incentivised to be exaggerated, increasing everyone's perceived quality and he only has to show the more convincing ones ;). Idk this guy summarises other people's work and asks for 1.1k. To sweeten this deal he says he'll give you goal reminders. If you want you could also talk to other package buyers and learn his basic online courses in writing emails, improving seo and "how to think about business ideas". There are more on the way tho ☠
