Every time I lack motivation, I watch a Starter Story episode. It’s surreal to be featured in one of them… Thanks for telling me story much better than I could ❤ If there’s one takeaway, it’s to just start. You’ll figure the rest later. And big thanks to Nikolas for all the camera work 🙏
I'm not usually one to comment on YT videos, but I felt the need to comment on this one. This has been, by far, one of the most inspirational entrepreneurship video I have ever watched, and that is because it's so realistic and doable. I'm on the same journey Marc has been in. Trying to create a software people will like and making money off of it. As you may have guessed, I have yet to succeed. At times, it makes me question my path; it makes me question whether those successful people have a secret ingredient they're not sharing. However, these days I've learned better. I've learned that consistency and effort is what matters. This video confirms my beliefs. It brings me so much hope and relief to see someone who has once been in the same place as me succeed. Thank you so much for this video!
Crazy this involved no courses or scamming people for $997/month. Instantly will be subscribing to Marc Lou and will be following your content my guy! This is honestly what people need to really hear and really want you to keep pursuing your passions and dreams. I feel like I'm lost occasionally, but this gives me a fire to keep developing my skills and refine them while building a business that not only eases pain for myself but for others as well.
@@cherrytv3 It's someone that does everything by himself, from coding to design etc. also hacking because the hacker is someone who finds alternative paths to a goal, nowadays the term it is perceived as if it relates only to someone who uses a pc. For example social engineering is part of hacking!
@@cherrytv3 You are welcome as far as I know when you have a business, so if you build 3d models with blender and sell them on your own website i think so
One of the most important thing i learned from Marc is that marketing is much more important than software development. So, don’t just put everything in building, marketing is also as important if not more.
I don't know but this video is very timely. It reignited something within me that I put on the sideline for a long time. Somehow it reminded me a part of me that seek to solve problems by incorporating creative ideas. Like you I will be back and this time will make it work. Everytime someone likes this comment I will go back here to remind myself to keep pushing. One step at a time. No matter how small you need to get started 🔥 Thanks mate! ☝️
This hit home SO hard *cue in tears*. I recently got fired from my tech sales role and now going down the entrepreneurship route. Thank you for sharing this story, and Marc thanks for showing that tenacity pays off!!
Marc is the biggest inspiration for indie makers. I have been following him since 2022 and seen him build apps on Twitter but didn’t know his backstory till now. Thanks starter story to show the journey of marc 👏
Incredible. I started watching Marc two days ago. I started watching Starter Story yesterday, and now this video appears in my homepage. What a coincidence. Love you both.
He's very inspiring. I love his story. I know his feeling. I had a few failed businesses. I finally got it together. Now, my stepson is running it. He'll come to me and his father when he needs advice. This young man has sparked an idea for me. I'm so happy for him.
The key to his success is that girl that's always by his side - chasing ambitious dreams and passions is always easier with someone like that by your side. I made my first $1000 being in business for myself this month. Not a pressure washing business, or a digital marketing agency... Selling rocks I'd mined myself on facebook marketplace. No idea where this is headed, but it's a super cool feeling.
I love Marc's enthusiasm and creativity, what a great attitude. This is a really inspiring story and very well put together. Hats off to Marc, Pat and everyone involved. 🙂
Marc’s the man! Great video and a great example of the solopreneur story without any fluff! He’ll have 1 million followers this time next year - quote me.
Excellent video! I think we often tend to focus TOO MUCH on solving a new problem whereas what's actually needed is to re-engineer existing solutions and to make the ones out there MORE convenient.
is not about having a good idea, having ideas is easy and trivial. The important thing is how clever can you be to come up with a quick, cheap and easy way to test it.
I found your channel, it's very encouraging to see fellow entrepreneurs and the fact like I feel like Marc Lou, I'm still waiting for that idea to hit, but this gives me hope! I think that the biggest take away is Never Give Up!
This video helped me so much. I recently went down the path of being an entrepreneur and literally had my first break down today. I know I will make it.
Beautiful storytelling ❤. I watched Marcs video b4 and had an idea of his story so i wasn't sure if i would watch this, and now its one of the best videos from starter story that I watched and i'm only 1/2 the video in. Love it. 🔥
This intro is SO good, the beats of the music with what's on screen, the storytelling, well done, great script writing and editing! 10/10 Love the new direction for the channel (assuming you're evolving the brand a bit with this video), looks SO good! Watched the intro 3 times haha
Considering his past security, err... issues, let's just call them "issues", it's shocking this guy stays in business year after year and not only that, he then sold courses on security best practices... Capitalism truly at its finest.
Watched this video for the 2nd time now, this is very inspiring! Marc's story hit me so hard, having failed so many times and I recently got terminated from my job. He inspired me to keep on trying and never give up. Hope one day I'll have a story to share here in this platform as well! God bless you both!
I will always root. for the Underdog. For I have a similar story living with the underdog mentality until I finally rose from the ashes like a Phoenix. I can truly appreciate his resiliency and wishing him continued success and nothing less !
This proves that anything is possible. Only shows that with perseverance and self-belief, one can do wonders. I think that the strength to accept small defeats and still carry on, are one of the most difficult ingredients for a recipe for success. Thanks for sharing your incredible journey, Marc!
My story feels similar. I started my first business at 18, and it went well. However, coming from the south of Brazil, I eventually found myself in France during covid, now with 33 years of experience in the IT field job. Currently, I feel the need to create something that can truly change people's lives with desire, but self doubts and lack of inspiration. But I often struggle with how to grow those ideas into something impactful because I don't have the same mindset I once had Before. I even start a new idea after just a few months I tend to quit. It seems like people on the internet are the ones who find happiness, financial freedom, and a sense of fulfillment by contributing to the global community seems crazy not be happy with the good life that all people in many countries dream to have.
Great story Pat. Congratulations Marc on your success. So many points you raised hit home for me and I am sure many viewers would feel the same way. I am watching this beautiful story and thinking, 'this is me with these crazy ideas. . may be i am not cut out to be an entrepreneur and I should go back to a 9-5 cubicle life' You have inspired me Marc. I need to sell painkillers and not vitamins. Thank you for sharing.
Wow what a story man this guy never gave up and at the end he cracked the code with such an unusual business idea that was essentially created out of his struggles. Great story Mark you're an inspiration
It happened for me too. I told myself just give it one more shot and see how it does. It worked for me. I used to be a research assistant. I never thought a simple idea for me would work. I started market research business in a unique way. My stepson is running it now. And he's doing pretty well. He'll come to me or his father when he needs advice. I'm really proud of this young man.
Marc’s journey is beyond inspiring-proof that with the right mindset, anyone can rise from humble beginnings to extraordinary success. As someone who believes 'Time is your greatest commodity, trade in the now,' stories like this really resonate with me. It’s the same drive to break free from the grind that I explore in my book Wake Up Neo! The Working Man’s A Sucker! Keep sharing these incredible stories, they’re the fuel for anyone looking to rewrite their own! 🐺
Thank you for this inspiring sharing - watching Marc's story made me realised that I am not alone and I am not done yet too. Will keep on going and see how things pan out.
Crazy story. I have taken the leap as well 6 months ago by quitting my job and starting my first startup. Now I still have no revenue and no customers. But this motivates me to continue
The living proof that you never know if you are just one step away from big success. But building the skills over the years are what compound and get you that big win in the long run.
Hi Pat the Story telling in this particular episode was insanely Capitivating More stories please from start to finish like mini docus would be perfect! THANK YOU.
Incredibly motivating. Resonated with the company firing him. my previous company got acquired by a fortune 500 while i was living in Vietnam with my partner. Dragged into a meeting friday afternoon and they gave me 2 weeks to either move home or be fired. I still work for them but i have my own SaaS @ $120MRR. Can’t wait for true freedom. The power we have as developers / entrepreneur is the possibility to dictate our own future. True freedom is intoxicating. thanks marc for showing us perseverance 🔥
Great story! And I can relate to him so much! My business got crushed during covid and lost my life savings on bad trades in 2022 with the fastest hiking cycle from the fed going too hard on leverage. Sitting on a pile of debt and broker then broke but there's somthing in me that just won't give up. I'm a trader first but still very interested on different ways to generate income without a 9 to 5. Freedom maxi!
In between 13:05 and 13:15 lies the secret to success. I went back, and watched it a hundred times, loaded that line into every thread up my brain and now, my energy is back. Goodbye failures.
I believe this project will be great. This project has its own characteristics so that it becomes an attraction for users. I hope this project will be successful.
My only question is who was supporting Mark? I mean - while he was building company - he states he's doing 1000 / mo., but he was at the same time able to afford living in Bali, flying back to France, get married on a nice wedding? Don't get me wrong - I sympathize a lot and also - I relate quite a bit, but it feels like part of the story and supporters is missing here. Much like CEO of big companies (I recently read a post) will proclaim they are on top of it, they work 9 to 5, then they take the dog for a walk, have 3 children, etc. But will not mention who is taking care of the children, laundry, homework, sick kids, etc. It just adds too much of expectations if half of the story is missing.
Yes. Lots of stories like these tend to skip the 'privilege' parts that come with it. Either Marc's parents or partner must have been the main supporter all those years but hey, it wouldn't make a cool story.
Probably his girlfriend. It’s also important to note that he was living abroad. $1,000 US dollars goes a lot more in other countries than it does in the states. I’m willing to bet Bali is pretty cheap compared to the U.S where a 1K a month is nothing.
Wow, I feel so identified here. I'm a developer, I made a nice app to help people use electricity better, and I'm stuck at promoting it. I started this youtube channel to share my meditation practice and to motivate myself with a side project. You're inspiring me to keep going with my business 🎉❤
The reality is that you can follow all the advice and tips out there, but to truly be an entrepreneur, you need to be born with that mindset. It's not something that you can learn from others (in my opinion of course).
Every time I lack motivation, I watch a Starter Story episode.
It’s surreal to be featured in one of them…
Thanks for telling me story much better than I could ❤
If there’s one takeaway, it’s to just start. You’ll figure the rest later.
And big thanks to Nikolas for all the camera work 🙏
you have inspired me
Great story, Marc!
you're an inspiration Marc!
same pinch
Big inspiration.
This is really inspiring, I’m 32, had multiple failed businesses, battled depression, still keeping the faith 🙏
Now this, is a starter story. Kudos to the wife, for being so supportive.
For real.The wife is MVP , supporting in a Clutch game like Stephen Curry
Went to make this comment. SO underrated how supportive and helpful this woman must be.
she didn't made anything, he didn't said what she did
'The' wife llloll

bro. his main product ship fast is "buy this to launch your startup", he is selling shovels in a gold rush
@@EDS432 And how exactly do you think capitalism works?
@@TechThroughHistory let me guess you are broke
@@EDS432Can't knock bro tho, as much as it isn't my style, you can't deny shelling shovels is a pretty smart move.

@@cherrytv3 You are welcome as far as I know when you have a business, so if you build 3d models with blender and sell them on your own website i think so
Marc lou is literally one of the biggest inspirations for solopreneurs
what did he achieved except making barely 50k profit a month
@@EDS432that’s a lot of profit
@@EDS432 yeah he seems extremely clueless and then he got lucky. He was selling couple's mittens because he saw it on Facebook for god's sake.
@@EDS432 he made many times over 100k a month, to my understanding. He is a millionaire, so I guess, that's what he achieved? What have you achieved?
One of the most important thing i learned from Marc is that marketing is much more important than software development. So, don’t just put everything in building, marketing is also as important if not more.
I want to say he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky to have a supportive wife, God bless both of you
The benefits of having a foreign wife. Much more traditional and not tainted by ego.
Bro, you literally pick your own wife. Find someone supportive if it’s important to you!

Thanks starter story to show the journey of marc 👏
Amazing story! As someone who spent 5 years in isolation building my business and financial freedom - this is so great to watch.
Incredible to see Marc here! Guys, this was some SERIOUS storytelling! Thanks for making this for us ❤

Wonderful story. And more than that. So many things that I recognize. Thanks for sharing this!
finally….Starter Story featured a real entrepreneur after ages..& not a course seller
what an amazing story. Clear concise storytelling as well! super episode

Dragged into a meeting friday afternoon and they gave me 2 weeks to either move home or be fired.

Thanks for this! He said start your app in a small version! In my country just to build an app is 300-600 k.

This is insanely cool. Feeling so down. Few times I wanted to give up. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, kudos to Marc. He seems to be an amazing guy.
80K to 130K alons is epic, bravo! Considering all the prevalent negative attitudes in France about money, it's crazy - well done!
What a great story of perseverance, setbacks and eventual success. Thanks guys!

Oh Marc Lou the man who made me start my first ever stay up thank you very much
"It's just a matter of not quitting before you win."... Amazing

I noticed a lot of these stories have the same common denominator in that the entrepreneur did not give up
