Stake out a spot and come back the next day. Once you've given Timmy everything he needs, he'll ask you to pick out a location for the shop. You'll need to donate all of each type of material at once, so keep some pocket space open. If you talk to your villagers, they might also help you out with some of the components. The resources you gathered on your island recruiting trips will help, but if you still don't have enough, you should try to gather up more Nook Miles and make another trip or two. Gathering the iron takes longer since there are only a few rocks you'll be able to access on your island, and they randomly produce iron, stone, or clay. You can always plant a few more trees to increase the rate at which you can gather, though they'll take a few days to grow big enough to be harvested from. Just wander around hitting all the trees on your island with an ax a few times, and they'll drop some mix of wood types depending on the type of tree. He's looking to you to provide the construction materials:

The next day, Timmy Nook will let you know about his ambition to build his own shop. You're going to need it soon! Since you can never return to the same island, you don't have to worry about cutting down trees or breaking rocks, so pillage to your heart's content. While you're on these islands, gather all the resources you can, especially the wood you get from hitting trees with your ax and the stone, clay, and iron you get from hitting rocks with an ax or shovel. You'll need to visit three different islands and invite three different NPCs to your island to complete this portion. Talk to them a couple of times until you get the opportunity to invite them to your island. Upon flying to another island, run around until you discover an animal NPC wandering about. Talk to Orville behind the counter and tell him that you want to visit other islands using your Nook Miles Ticket. Note that the airport isn't available on your first day of playing the game. Here, you'll need to access Nook Miles Rewards and purchase a Nook Miles Ticket for 2,000 Nook Miles.
