if there is no ammonia waste for the bacteria to convert, then how is it completeing a cycle?

where do the bacteria come from in the first place?
I have read countless answers from people, advising the askers to let thier water "sit" for a few weeks with nothing in it, so it could complete a nitrogen cycle.
