Student Business Builder Playbook: 90 Days from First Referral to Campus Reputation
A practical next-level playbook for students who already understand the basic helper pathway and want a concrete 90-day growth plan. This subhub does not replace the Student Helper Pathway hub — it builds on it.
A student who starts with one referral, learns how to promote one safe micro-service, builds proof through real outcomes, and grows toward supervised projects, provider readiness and a stronger live resume. This playbook maps a 90-day journey across 20 practical spokes — from your first launch plan to the 12-week semester challenge.

Shadow a provider, build more landing cards, join a supervised project team, expand your proof library.
Depth
Contribute to a team project, add proof entries, check provider readiness, coach a new student helper.
Live Resume Ready
