Spawn Point: Your Legacy Journey Starts Here (Level 1)

Your journey into entrepreneurship starts here. Before you build, pitch, or invest, you’ve got to see the map.

"You can’t play the game if you don’t know the rules. But first, you’ve got to show up at the arena."

Welcome to Level 1: Gaining Awareness

You made it. Whether you're a student, a creator, a professional, or someone just a little curious about “this whole business owner thing,” this is where the journey starts.

No business plan? No documentation? No problem. You don’t need to be building yet. You need awareness of the language, the players, and the rhythm of the arena.

This level is all about getting smart before you build. Here’s how.

Mission Objective: Building an Entrepreneur Mentality

You’ve accomplished the hardest mental hurdle of starting a business. The hurdle of simply starting. These simple actions will allow you to add them to your day-to-day routine and slowly gain experience (EXP) without noticing.

Daily Actions to Earn EXP

1. Read A Book Designed to develop your mindset (5-10 Pages Daily)

The best way to learn the language is to immerse yourself in it and make it part of your daily routine. If you’re not a good reader, then that’s okay. Just start with purchasing a book and aim to read 5 - 10 pages a day.
