If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $200,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
How I got here…
21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of Skool.com to help the many people who want to start a business online do so.
Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).
To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.
You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.
I’ll start working 1200 hrs a week
If that's what you took away you fundamentally misunderstand "work"
Impossible to become successful at only 1200 you need to do 1201 hours a week.
@@lucflynnwell how can u post that much a week if u don’t have a huge team like hurmozi? U kinda have to work every waking hour and it still wont be enough
My friend,
There’s a difference between work, and simply dragging out time.
For 99% of people, a month of their actual work (not the meaningless reputation called a job) can be done in one day.
Most are unproductive, hence they work jobs that match their productivity.
First step in wanting a better job, is to be able to do it.
Many would become bedridden with the level of stress of a ceo level position. Because they don’t know how to process stress. Only “handle”.
@@lucflynnhypothetically, if you hire 30 full time employees, that adds up to around 1200 a week, then you have the capacity of 30 people, 30xing your work
and i'm not even doing 1 daily... thanks for resetting my minimum standard too 😭
DON’T FORGET, Alex has a TEAM of people doing all the recording, editing, uploading etc. so don’t be fooled & think he’s doing 350 videos a week & all the other work too! 😂
To be fair he's talking about his billionaire friend in this story, someone who makes enough to afford a team lol
He didn’t start with that team in the beginning though.
Right however it wasn’t always like that and the effort put out was way more than the average persons. The Team wasn’t given to him. To get the team itself is an effort. Building the credentials to hire good employees. It’s all work
And he talks about it alot... That's Leverage.
All you did was make an excuse and that’s kind of his point. It doesn’t matter what they have that you don’t if you want to compete you’re going to need to adjust your mindset dramatically into doing a lot of output with the little you have.
350X a week, zero substance. The 20th Reel today that says “work harder”
It’s working
You're here aren't you? Bum.
It's working, obviously, he has a team? Hire a team like wut
only works if you're already big. much different strategy if you're trying to become big
So you’re saying you’ve been exposed 20 times? Looks like it worked
Posting a lot isn’t supposed to be better than posting better quality tho. Doesn’t the like ratio affect the algo?? People wouldn’t like shitty content
Everyone in this comment section clueless and hates moneh
No I don’t hate money I would just like my work to have some actual value to society instead of just making millions of dollars being a bottom feeder
That’s funny, I find less is more. If your on your own and don’t have a big team, if your playing 10 times a day but they are shit boring as opposed to 2 posts that are funny and engaging in some way they do really well.
Worst thing is posting loads of nonsense and FB pushing your posts lower in the feed because no one is connecting to them.
Imagine having 500 followers and you post 10 times a day. Those 500 people aren’t going to comment or like all 10 of your posts.
Just wondering the breakdown of that number, is that per social media account or are you counting the same clip being posted to multiple socials? i’ve heard some social media marketers online say that tiktok for example, doesn’t like over posting, and may flag your account as a bot, especially for a starting company with no real established brand identity yet, any suggestions?
He’s talking about all his socials
yeah i'm also curious about the alogrithmic feedback and stuff
Dudes like these are literal bs spewers
“Just do more” gee thanks
Just work 1200 hours a week and then you can finally achieve happiness
@@coolcatvibes5491levels to this shit
@@coolcatvibes5491you can work 1200 hours a week
it’s known as hiring people
I mean, he's not wrong... It sucks, but it's true. Doing more gets more results. More input, more output. Also, some people have to do more than others to achieve the same results.
@@SpicyNuggs562 again that isn’t new or ground breaking stuff literally everyone knows that
Do I really want to be part in building a world where people are drowning in even more “just do more, work harder” & other worthless social media. Nah I don’t want that world to exist for anyone. At some point you are just deluding yourself that those machinations are a life. It’s not a life, it’s a joke of a life.
There’s a fine line between posting too much and not enough.
There's not. 350 pieces across 5 or 6 platforms is 10 posts per day. You're one hire away from putting out similar quantity.
Never enough with content. It’s a volume game. You want to be at all places at once at all times of the day. That way you’re always on people’s minds.
@@CB-gb4ep yeah true. But there’s people I see who post too much and it just gets boring.
@@scottxgibson chances are that most people are nowhere near the "posting too much" end of the spectrum though
@@itsphehello yeah true. 1-3 times a day is probably a fair amount.
Never seen this guy smile
And it’s 350 nuggets of nothing lmao
Congrats your rich and have no life
We may not have the team and means to increase to the point he has initially but it is always possible to do kuch more than we currently have...increase the effort and the means will come later
Just buy a house and stop being homeless
Does this apply for all industries, tho?
For awhile I used to post 3 times a day but not alot of engagement I eventually cut that down to once a day on Facebook sometimes I miss a day or 2 and I get more engagement than I did posting 3 times a day
Alex, your viewer growth has unlocked a hidden value in your content. There’s now substantial motivation to be found in the comments section by reading all of these defeatist people who unknowingly are showing their lack of self-accountability and therefore giving me and others more self-confidence that we are bringing something unusual and valuable to the table by simply sharing your sentiment in these videos.
I have to agree.
damn it really does put things into perspective, its funny because instead of taking this is optimism of you can get ahead in life faster if you just do more, they take it as pessimism in the sense "they have to do more to get further in life''. People nowadays wanna get things without putting in the work
Why does he always have something on his nose
"Billionaire buddy."
People like this should stop posting so much all the time. It won’t be long till people realize that he does know some things but doesn’t know nearly as much as he wants you to think he knows
That’s assuming he’s a fraud. He’s giving value, that’s all he tries for do with media, so he’s not gonna say something that he doesn’t believe to be valuable
He’s got $100 million more then you lol I think he’s smarter than you
it only took me about a week of following hormozi to get irritated by hearing him say the same few things over and over lol
@Short1794 that's pretty much his tactic or anyone for that matter if they want to keep posting on social media and blow up. Just keep repurposing the same topic over and over again and ppl will still eat it up.
@epicotakugamer4930 Exactly! I noticed lately that even quotes I've heard multiple times per week, regurgitated by someone on a short will still get tens of thousands if likes. But if you think about it, it makes sense.
So YOU have heard the quote already and you're already on the journey... But there are thousands of businesses started every single day, all around the world. There are also millions of babies born every single year, and each year millions of people age up, experience life milestones and enter new chapters... So then is posting the same thing a bad idea, or a really brilliant one since you know there will continuously be viewers for messages that statistically always hit?
Working more only matter if you're doing something that has leverage.
So cringe
I'll start working one millennium per hour!
In all seriousness, Alex is right. Volume, especially at the beginning of your financial development is better than anything else.
Smarter not harder works when you have a proficient system, not when you're broke
You people don't get his point. It's not about doing 100 times more work every week. That works in online content if you had a big team, but not for something like studying. He actually means to accumulate 100 times larger volume of work and that may take a very long time. That's what stuff like expertise and mastery is. I can only study 8-10 hours a day with focus, but I can also do that every single day for 1-2 years and then I shall win.
Alex can barely breathe between sentences, 100 times more work? Or 100 times more steroids? Of course he's growing more. Lol
@@chrismosley4689wtf are you even talking about?
His billionaire buddy. Ha.
“And he said ‘thank you for resetting my minimum standard’” is such a David Brent-esque line lol
Thank for reframing my perspective
Two times more work equals 100% more
You're sooo smart buddy, which grade are you in? 😊
And it’s not linear. If you do 60% of the work you don’t see 60% of the results.
Where does he posts 350 pieces of content a day?!
It’s hard to post that many times a week without a team… if anyone’s figured out how to get around that, PLEASE let me know!
That's why I can't see this guy any longer. Please stop showing him to me, RUclips
Billionaire friend was Grant Cardone
If I was as tired and over worked as Alex is, i would know for a fact that I'd be at my happiest
Why work so much if no time to play? The do more mentality can only be sustained if you enjoy what you do, and is only worth it if you enjoy what you do. If you enjoy what you do, people won’t need to tell you to do it more.
Otherwise do something that is good enough for as short a time as possible and give yourself the spare time to do things you actually like.
I don't even post every day, I have posted 6 vids in a year... Last one was 3 weeks ago, thanks for resetting my minimum standard
50 per day, thats why you are everywhere 😂
Pottery class analogy in action. Volume negates luck.
What about the law of diminishing returns, I'd love to hear your opinion on that
This guy Is the word "WORKAHOLIC"
Thanks for the inspiration Alex Hormozi 💯✅🙌
There are 365 days in a year , are you all on a quest to put a year in everyday 🤔
how do you push more out im curious alex
Bro im just tryin to get to the airport...
I think the meds are taking over again 😂.
It's true. You have to put too much effort to see results. Just like a drone. Look at the difference of rotor speed during take off vs warmup.
Alex looking like a fully loaded workout followed by a nice spliff and a cheeseburger...,still dropping knowledge, no bun of course 😉
What is up with that nose tape?
Never give up
remember guys YOU don’t have to do that many post you just need to find the time and energy of competent people that can do it for you granted you have a business making money
Set bar high
Interesting!
Dudes gotta cut after every few words to hide himself gasping for air lmao.
It's for engagement, almost everyone does that
@@OneGodPlus You can claim whatever you want, dudes not gonna let you suck him off.
I can hear those deep breaths. Dude needs to work harder.
@@OneGodPlus Almost everyone is a fat mf’er? Hmmm, that doesn’t make much sense.
I love Alex’a content but yes I hope he checks his values. Its not healthy in the long run, but he probably knows that and has a stoic or game theoretical reasoning behind it.
I cannot argue with the fact of nature is , plant more seeds , get more plants
Step 1: have crippling sense of unworthiness
Step 2: turn crippling sense of unworthiness into life long obsession with obtaining money( to definitively not show how worthy you are to the one who said you were unworthy)
OR
Just live life the way you want to.
@@comforth3898lol how much can you do, if you don’t go after money like an obsession? Not much freedom when lots of my energy is dedicated to an employer
money buys happiness. most people want to be happy
And in the process make your dreams come true, make great contributions that benefit people, and learn the new challenges that can only be found at the next level 😉
If the guy is only going to make 7 posts they have to be 50x the quality of yours to stay on pace. That actually is doable considering the small snippets that are put out now.
Yeah, quality over quantity for sure as long as the consistency is held up either way.
You ok ?
To the people complaining about the lack of novelty behind the 'just do more' advice... That's the reason you're you and he's he.
He didn't try to hack it, he just outworked everyone and succeeded.
I wouldn’t wanna be him regardless of how much he makes. Couldn’t sleep at night knowing I’m worth millions and contribute nothing to the world besides bullshit. Not something to admire.
Quality AND Quantity
😬😬😬😬😬
it’s surprising how i saw some hate comments on this short .. why would u even hate this guy .. i mean he is just teaching stuff to people ?? Ig people nowadays are just out of their minds
He’s teaching? Yet you haven’t learned basic grammar.
Now I’m not perfect, but what have you learned from this guy? I mean have you learned anything? Do you have your own thoughts?
@@im4g0d_1his not teaching English here what is the point of that statement? And yes people in general learn a lot from this guy. He is giving out valuable information free, it’s just that people who don’t care about improving their life hate to listen to him because it bothers them knowing they aren’t doing anything to improve their lives.
@@coconutmilk2958 yet you or the other person haven’t said what your learned.
@@im4g0d_1 I learned that that I should work as much or harder than whoever I’m competing with
@@coconutmilk2958 seems like common sense. But to each their own.
legit question: i've seen Andy Elliot with this and now you as well - what is the purpose or benefit of that nose tape thing? i want to know in case that would somehow be for me as well.
He cant breathe out of his nose without it. Apparently he's had a couple surgeries, but nothing's worked, except for nose strips.
Why does he always have something on his nose???
He can’t breathe right without it
@@maxreidelbach6305 a deviated septum?? why not just get surgery??
Mouth breather you can kind of hear the way he talks and breathes to help him breath out of his nose more
How do you find that amount of content to post?
Needed this
Why he always act like he’s talking to someone else near him in person and there’s never anyone there 😂
I enjoy your videos and like you. This isn’t a reflection on you. We are racing absolutely nowhere, we believe peace and happiness are somewhere else and not within us, we will never be satisfied and we will never have enough. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Wish I had your work ethic though. Kudos friend.
People rag on Hormozi; but aren't anywhere near his level As Hormozi has not a care in the world financially... He doesn't play the infinite game. He is The Game! 🎉🎉
Amen theyd rather find excuses and flaws than accept their short comings
Did he reset your gag reflex?
@@markuzantwahn6351 he reset your mama's
@@lucflynn Exactly. Making excuses is WAY easier than actually doing the hard work to succeed.
😮
Alex is basically saying you can do it in theory, but you can’t actually do it unless you give away your child.
Yeah I'll get right on that🙄
It’s about leverage, that can be with contractors or employees
Thanks for resetting my minimum standard
wow
"nothing new"... well, he have millions of followers, and you haters dont even have one friend
But why is he more successful than you despite (previously) doing less?
Least brutally honest Hormozi advice. Keep it coming
Where tf does this dude get his nose strips from? they’re cool as hell definitely help with my sales position
So, give up, gotcha. Done
Will I do a million billion a week
Work/life balance is a fallacy. You either work or live life. Can't do both - is not sustainable
I really love this and it's so very true! It's all about the amount of effort put in to be able to get the results. Simple
Hate from Louisiana
Bros a nobody lol
what colour is your portfolio company?
You're a nobody lol 😂
😂😂 oh yeah?
I'm uncomfortable with the irony we've created in the studio today.....
