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.
The 17 conversations that changed my life were all from this channel...
I am not alone! 🎉
So true!
Lol for real
How Dyou have 239k subscriber but only couple hundred views on your vids?
Khan academy!?!
No one is putting this much value out FOR FREE on the internet. Thank you Alex 🤝
This guy and Gary Vee
Give give give give
Gary vee ain’t on this guys level
@@hypnoticdreaming3655 I really feel like they give two very different aspects of advice.
Gary is more motivational and Alex is very practical.
Some days I need to hear Gary when I’m feeling uninspired and there’s a lot of days I need to hear Alex to stay practical
every video about 20s he knows that other people dont wana make money bala bala balaa
I like #12
#4 LEVEL OF EFFORT
Dude, I totally felt that. I was doing 500-700 flyers on targeted doors daily in my lawn business for over a month.
I remember telling my friends I was ordering flyers by the 10,000 from vistaprint. They didnt believe me, it didnt sound realistic to the average thinker.
I put audiobooks in my ear and hit the ground for hours each day.
I ended up grossing my first 100k that year in business and have never looked back.
SOLID ADVICE. Go hard and you will succeed
holy fuck man that's tough
People want to be an entrepreneur but they don’t want to do the work… it’s a lot of work and most people don’t have that work ethic and grit.
May I ask why your doing photography now?
5:09 that super smash SFX hit me in the soul!!! Needed that 🤤
😂
I feel so emotional to be fortunate enough to get so much value from Alex. I won't let this go to waste. I promise
Start thinking instead of
I can't express enough how I grateful I am for your content! My husband and I are starting our business because of the wealth of information and encouragement from your videos! Thank you!
These are my favorite videos and channel now . I’ve watched so many of your videos and get something out of every single one . Feels like one of the very very few on RUclips genuinely putting out stuff to help others
Love it because these things not only pertain to business but all aspects of life. Training, working out, business, relationships, etc
As someone who is 25, Alex is someone I look up to big time
You need something better on your resume than "someone who is 25" big guy.
@@skycaptain95 exactly, he should be 5 years old if he wants that kind of attitude
@@skycaptain95😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah like wtf so what 😂😂
Important reminder to everyone that when you watch these top 10 lists type videos you gotta be taking physical notes in your journal or none of the lessons will stick. And Alex shares some banger lessons worth remembering!
Good advice sir thank you
True. It's thanks to the internet that we can get advice from successful people without having to pay stupid amounts of money
You are right man 👌👌👌
Yes and pick one that resonates the the most and do it right away. Otherwise the journal ends up full of lists and nothing changes
This channel is unironically the best RUclips channel I found in 2022 and continues getting better. You are goated
May god bless you with the straight path Alex! So much good advice for free
The things we learn from conversations with mentors, friends, family, coworkers, etc. are endless if you’re listening for lessons. Great video!
Alex is the wisest business guy on RUclips right now hands down
This is a brilliant video! So many great tips for us wannabe entrepreneurs. Thankyou Alex for sharing your wisdom to help us scale!
Thanks for your advice. Just doubled the Profit on my Social Media Marketing Client, went from 1‘500.- to 3‘000.- with a single conversation.
LOVE YOU ALEX you're going to help change my life for the best.
The best content creator; thanks Alex. Your content is always so good.
Every time I listen to Alex I’m blown away by how much I learn.
This is probably one of the most valuable videos from Alex, thank you so much!!!
youve got the finest channel on the net
The man makes me feel like I'm a beginner 😅 always stay learning folk. Thanks for the great content!
Huge fan Alex, bought both your books and applied so much of your actionable advice, added £££ to profit and improved life in many ways, but these newer videos are just too busy
Fame is awesome when you are authentic and really attract the right people. Fame sucks for hypocrites.
Brilliant 👌🏽
this is your best video ive watched
Glad you changed your mind about brands. I listened to your rant about how brands don't work, but I guess Uncle Warren steered you clear!
This is the greatest video I’ve seen as a growing business owner and I’m not even done yet thank god
0:50 I noticed something interesting while looking through businesses and watching this video. He suggested that businesses should create an offer so good that people feel stupid saying no. This has me thinking, Chick-fil-A never seems to have coupons or deals, which sets them apart from other restaurants that offer discounts. Their motto is "full price or free," and I find it intriguing to consider how this philosophy can be applied when starting a business or looking at the business world in general.
FOR TREE? this could be a $100 course and i'd still buy it. you shared so much value Alex 🔥
Alex, how do you provide so much value EVERY TIME?
I have been watching your videos a lot lately, and Im saying it to my self every now and then, this time Im taking the time to comment it. Bro.. you’re so f*cking huge
Need to see Alex on undercover billionaire! Incredible businessman 🤝
I just realized I can create my own business by not hiring employees but hiring a manager or boss of me. Just like movie stars do. Stick to what you know. I know how to work 18 hours a day without a pee break. I'm a worker. And now I can be a worker that gets paid way more
Your breathing strip became unstuck. But that's also metaphorical. Thanks for helping many of us get unstuck
Speaking truth! One of the best 13:57 minutes I spend in my life.
great advice - Was distracted by the absolutely giant capped delts though
"When it gets easy, that's when you go hard." BOOM. THIS IS MY GOLD NUGGET. 🔥
Great lessons from a GREAT TEACHER! Alex is a godsend! Thank you!
Hey Alex. Love your videos.
I’d love to see a week in the life of Alex and Leila Hormozi. You could do one every few years and see how your life changes as your businesses grow.
this is really valueable
Loving your journey Alex, appreciate you sharing, keep on killing it ✊🏽
That smash bros melee baseball bat hit hard
Top 4 videos on RUclips. Big G!
Great video! I learned a lot. One key takeaway for me was the importance of making a decision and committing to it, rather than endlessly researching and waffling (which I tend to do). Thanks for creating this video and sharing your experiences and lessons learned. So much value!!! Thanks Alex!
Hi alex. the first thing really resonated with me.
I am in the same situation right now. i quit my job and have been building web design business, but my runway is almost gone and I am thinking if I should double down on working on my business, or go back to work and dedicate only leftovers of my energy and bandwidth to my business for the sake of peace of mind.
I am thinking to go back to work for some time, save up another runway, and then continue with what I am doing.
combining things would be difficult, because I am an architect, and my work is mentally pretty demanding, and leaves me almost 0 creative energy at the end of the week.
any suggestion?
I needed to hear the comment about when it gets easy it's time to go hard... That's right where I'm at. Keep the great content rolling Alex.
Man Man Man. I hope you read this comment, cause every single thing you say I believe it deep deep down my own heart and despite people telling me million other things. It's f**** amazing to hear this with such a conviction from you. Dude you're the man.
one of your best videos Alex and i've been following you since 36K subs.
How and where did you find your mentors ? I’d love to see a video on this . I need one
Thank you Alex for sharing your knowledge and all of your valuable content 🙌🤝🤛🏼
I had to constantly pause and make notes, such a value dense video!🔥
Damn this was slamming the info out at a high rate man! Thank you! Alex you will probably never read this ...but...I am learning a lot from you and hope to meet you one day! All the best
You’re the man Alex !!! Thank you for putting big time knowledge out there for small timers to use to grow. What you do is so noble, so practical and so helpful. It means a lot
My stage of life… the only thing I need from this video is the first minute. I’ll come back in a couple months to learn the rest but for now I just need to jump.
9:05 literally the same logic of riot games
Wise words from one so young. I actually think he’s a genius!
same
Same
Great video, we enjoyed it a lot! Thank you very much for a great channel!
Whoever the editor is, is a damn genius. Baring in mind the video is simple - obviously well scripted (well done Alex) but the editor is killing it
One of the things you talk about a lot is finding coaches and mentors. How do you do that, especially when you’re one of the millions of people just starting out?
One of your best videos. Thank you Alex. 🙏🏽
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
@@kathyfrugalsen3047 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
Financial freedom is absolutely the perfect freedom
Dude, I’m re-watching. Ton of gold nuggets here!
Wonderful video...very nice 🌎 Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Love this Channel.. So Much info have to watch again!! lol
This couldn’t have come at a better time! Thanks Alex
Lifechanging !
I’m surprised that you didn’t include the warren Buffett quote that you mentioned a lot about it’s not how hard you throw a more about which boat you’re in
Bro just summarised years of expensive learning & advice in 13 minutes 💀
What a freaking good video Alex!! Thanks for sharing all this insights with us👊 Really appreciate it :)
Thanks for sharing all of that; I look back and all I learned was because I listened to people who had already done it.
Funny how everything he said came from mentors or other successful people he purposely positioned himself to be around. That’s key 🔑
You’ve changed the trajectory of my life in the most brilliant way possible. Thank you.
Wow,there is no way i just absorbed all this magnificent information and wisdom in so little time,Thank you really
BIG SH*T TAKES TIME⏳ new entrepreneurs really underestimate the levels of foundational work they need to put it in before they are 'ready' to attack the next phase of growth. For example you may know lots about coding but you can't just sell software when nobody knows who you are. So you need to have mastered getting eyeballs (sales) to your software. In order to grow sales you would also probably need to have mastered hiring and recruitment. In order to have mastered hiring, you would need to have some level of understanding of what an A player looks and talks like, and then be able to SELL working for you. ETC ETC, there are LEVELs to learn and master, so anything BIG takes TIME⏳
1:59 level of effort
I remember the Dave Ramsey Convo about 85 vs 15 percent !!! Very great point
Dude is massive
Another amazing video Alex. I am currently implementing those into my life now.
Alex. You G.O.A.T.
Hi Alex this is great stuff 😊
So many people don't complete that expression. A jack-of-all-trades is a master of none but still better than a master of one.🏆💯
You should have the conversation where you ship the books you claimed you had printed (150k books you said in your live, right?)
This is literally what I’m going through rn 🔥🔥🙏🏿. Great video 💯💪🏿💪🏿
Straight value. Thank you
Really awesome content thank you 🙏
does anyone else want to fix his nose strip the whole video? haha Love you alex!
YESSSSS, love alex, but the fact one side is popped up.... haha
Alex… honest question… are the nose strips a strategic marketing play to stand out? Like Nelly with his cheek bandage. Just be honest, no BS.
Great video. Thanks everyone who put it together.
5:45 jad kantari? lol
Its so simple yet this is blwoing my mind its so obvious. Thanks bro ur vids are fire
Fuck....never been so early on this channel. It's been just 21 sec that the video has gone live
thats some real world value right there ty
Amazing work on this. Some absolute game chargers here
You just keep expanded my mindset! Thank you!!
Great video! golden nugget is to achieve a certain level of fame so you can attract the right people into your space - of course it has cons however it should outweigh it
The guy from the Mastermind, telling him he should do something different, was Russell Brunson.
GOLD!!!
The excitement when Alex releases a new video 🤩😍😁
Incredible conversations. I thought i was gonna stay for half and watch other half later. Nope. Too interesting. 😅
