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.
This is exactly how I got out of homelessness sleeping in a truck at the Edison, NJ train station. Had cancer at the same time and 12 years later I made a million.
Happy for u
Wild… glad to hear you made it out brother
I'm very proud of u
Gang gang
LFG!!!!
Finally an old school Hormozi video. No fancy editing, no distracting background music. Just straight up good advice
Exactly!
he really needs to stick with this format.
I agree! that was why I started folllowing him. It's too much shit going on now lol doubt he cares about our opinions. But totally prefer the old school videos.
Facts!!
More of this, Alex! Thank you!
I blinked twice and im 40… but no dead human blinks… so its still hope and a lot of work
I blinked and I’m 52 …..
37 and starting a new career. Tired of making someone else money.
I half blinked and I'm 57 fuck!
I hav never related to why or how people can say 'time passes quickly'.... Its sounds very strange
It serious, that's literally what hapend to me. It feels like life passed without me knowing. It feels like I just woke up being 36? I was a very happy young man living the life now I'm 36 with no wife, a huge debt, 3 kids, and no money.
100% I slept on the floor of my dog grooming business for 6 months til it took off. Now i booked 2 months out.
“Be harder than your circumstances” wow that is what I needed to hear. Thank you for this advice I am a single Mom of four.
You’ve got this, Erin. Keep going 🙌🏼
Respect to you!
Never give up, never give in.
What happened to the father?
@@Overwatch9 he got on drugs..
@@markeagar9226 aww thank you😊
I had my first child at 15, second at 19, third at 23. Started knocking doors at 20, got into remote sales at 26. And slowly increasing the ticket I sell, and eventually will sell my own digital products. Got married last year, moved down south to cut expenses, & doing exactly what you said in this video. The road is super stressful & lonely, but signs like these hit home whenever you need them the most. I’m 29, can’t wait to see where I’ll be at 35🙏🏽
had mine at 17 & 19, still married 19 years later - You got this bro!
@@AlaskaJiuJitsu thanks man, means a lot!
No kids but 10 years of d2d into remote sales absolutely life changing 🙌
I just became a millionaire. It just takes time
@@VegasLyfe remote sales changed it all for me. I was going mentally insane traveling state to state knocking doors without my kids and wife. I’m working on a course now to show people how to get remote sales/customer services jobs in 21 days or less leveraging A.I.
if the person reading this, i want to say : he is not just talking to you, he is talking to all us, you're not alone in this bro, stay strong, a day will come and you will say , it was worth it.
Agreed
Maybe we can create a community we’re we all push& remind each other to keep going. Even have resources to help the group!
No?
Bet
Thank you I needed that
I have ADHD but still couldn't stop listening to this person.
I didn't fast forward even once.
And him talking in a fast paced yet empathetic tone helped me stay focused.
My problem is my indecisiveness stemming out of fear because of my ADHD ruined career choices.
Alex please help neuro divergent people like us too !! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😞😞😞
You literally just solved my every day cognitive gap.
I listen to everything at 2x, he speaks fast!
Yeah, suddenly everyone has ADHD. Maybe stop spending so much time on social media, video games, porn, and eating junk food and start healing your brain from easy dopamine sources. Perhaps, you may discover that you dont have ''ADHD''
listen man stop watching tiktoks and reels to boost your adhd , start watching more normal and slow videos to train your brain
@@Yahya_linux lol he shouldn't listen to any video, it's a super natural stimulus. Audio only podcast while exercising would be much better.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .

“What I don’t have in experience, I’ll make up in hustle”.. absolute fire.
Absolute fire indeed...
Bro I love that you took the time to send this out to an audience member. Shows real care. Respect!
He doesn't care. There's nothing to explain other than he doesn't care...
@@stealth1077 what? explain
@@stealth1077 Agreed, i thought i was the only one who saw this. There was nothing on a real level that helped the guy. I know so many people in real positions of wealth who handle these kind of situations so differently and add lide changing value to the persons life for real. This was zero to low input on Alexs part and just made money talking about how he didnt help this guy on a monetized video. No respect at all for how he handled the guy.
@@emmajones1183 We see value so differently that I just had to comment about it. I thought it was an enormous value what he gives him.
@@emmajones1183he taught him how to survive,why should he spoon feed a grown man,how many grown men should he feed if thats what u wanted him to do
This is how I got ahead. Even as a millionaire, I didn't buy a new vehicle. My grandfather was a millionaire, and he drove his super old truck to all his business and had a brand new truck tucked to the side as his home. I remember asking him why bot drive the new truck, he said because my workers are humble, I'm humble and they see me drive in my old truck and they're open to me. They don't fear telling me when something needs to be changed or a better way. Driving in a new truck would change that.
This is what we all needed. Thank you brother! ✊
Here’s a story for Avante I’m over 50 I never made more than $35,000 because I stayed in social work and decided to get a insurance sales license. Well let me tell you what happened since I was already living off of an apartment building when I started making sales and sales bonuses I took all of those sales bonuses, I put them away. I didn’t spend more than I normally do. I didn’t take on big trips. I didn’t buy a new car with 18 months I have made $175,000. I was able to save about 40 took away about 20 I was able to clean off all of my credit, I was able to give my grandchildren some money. I was also able to buy a house all the days were long and hard during a certain period but that’s what you gotta do save work harder and if only for a short period I will no longer ever work that hard at my age, almost 12 hour days that’s not for me but I was able to get ahead. You can get ahead. I’ll be telling my story during a podcast if I had almost 60 can come out of a hole within two years you can too

The best way to stay poor is to listen to poor people about how to get rich. That's the realest shit I've heard all day💯
People need to hear more of this. No BS, no sugar coating..... just hard truth.
Life is not easy, it's hard. You have to get off your ass and earn it.
This is great advice. I love it!
They were right but wrong about ME. I WILL SUCCEED F....THEM WATCH ME!
lol not in 2024 the way the economy is approaching a crash sorry.
These old methods don’t apply anymore. Good luck.
You know its approaching, thats why you need to work harder. Earn more and save more - maybe then you can scoop up one or two houses after the crash.
I wish I heard this 20 years ago. Your words hit home completely. This is what people who are not making 40K a year need to hear.
This advice is excellent. Usually, when successful people give advice to someone at an extreme disadvantage, they don't seem to understand the magnitude of obstacles that the person is facing.
Love the candid Post from the jet. Caring for your audience. Alex is basically speaking to his younger self through these videos.glad to see him win.he definitely deserves it.hard work> reliance on luck.
As I pack my rental up & move into an suv with 2 kids. I needed this! So much. Treading water paying 2500 a month in rent a lone. I’m looking to grow not stay in the same spot. Thank you Alex! The advice you give is that thread of hope some of us need.
He's fooling all of you. You're a single mother and you're getting fooled. Brutal life.
I think that’s going to be miserable; 2 kids in a car? Maybe try family!
I just had to give my kids to CPS because they said that they can't sleep in the car with me.
@@LifeWithAdunni I pray you get them back right away🙏 There has to be a place to go!
@@LifeWithAdunni😢😢😢 so sorry to hear that
This was the best advice video I have ever watched. No sales pitch just value. Incredible, Thank you!
“If the people in your life don’t have bigger dreams for you than you do, ignore their advice.” Words to live by
Also, "the best way to stay poor is to listen to poor people about how to get rich". Powerful!!!!!!! 😁
This video was full of words to live by, words that need to be written on posters and slapped onto your wall if you haven't reached where you want to be yet.
Information diet 🤘
Why other people should have a drem FOR YOU, lol. Sounds like total bullshit
I never realized how many people were happy to see me failing, until I started winning. Not everyone on your boat is rowing.
I’m homeless, broke, and no paying job. I just started a fullly commision position with someone for real estate and currently interviewing for this real estate company that has a based salary.
My parents don’t understand
My mom just asked me why I’m homeless at this age. They don’t understand why it’s taking forever for this business to work.
They have a poverty mindset. And I know. I’m not mad at them. But I WILL be the first multi millionaire in the family and get them out of that mindset and poverty
How are you progressing? I pray well.
Where are your parents? they should help you with shelter while you work and stand up.
Lol.. They just care about you
Sending you prayers from heaven
I hope you find the life you're looking for. I believe in you because I'm looking for the same thing: a life worth living. Please keep us updated on your efforts.
I’m 54 and starting over after being married and a stay home Mom for the duration of the marriage. THANK YOU!!!!!!! I needed this 💖
Good luck Devantay 😊
Oh my gosh me too! I lost everything with the divorce but my kids. My ex got control of the company and used the funds to take everything-except the kids thank God- after an almost 20 year marriage. He has spent more than $2M on the divorce and now I'm on food stamps starting over. I've been down for years but I'm now determined to take flight... it is possible! May God bless you!
You will win. Read that again.

@@leo_olive Thank you 🙏🏼 I receive this!
@prismgrp you thought you could do better without him. Phuck around, find out. 😂😂😂
I swear to God, that’s exactly how I did when I did to get me to where I am. These words are liquid gold, and they could not be more perfectly accurate. Thank you, Alex.
I've spent years listening to the naysayers and now I just spent the last 8 months beating cancer. I feel like I can do ANYTHING. I've got a big check coming from Disability insurance and it's gonna be my springboard to a whole new level. I won't accept defeat or take no for an answer. I love the vibe here. When you know there's an animal inside you just waiting to pounce, you have to let it out! That's where I'm at right now. Watch out world!
9:23 - Speaking as someone in HR & recruiting for over a decade: 9 times out of 10, I’d find a job for this person in my company. I’ve gone across hiring managers before with applicants who applied for a completely different position (one that’s just been filled or for which they weren’t a good fit) and eventually found a place to hire them in the company. Alex is 100% right here.
Holy heck Alex. For anyone who has stumbled across this video, congratulations. Alex has just given you the most practical and best “change your future” advice ever. I could have used this when I was 21, 8 years ago. Luckily for me, I figured all of this out as I went, while making the right connections. But what Alex said is the blueprint! The REAL blueprint. And I only did half as much as he said. Do exactly what Alex said, and I’d bet anyone would be on the other side of their situation in 3-6 months. In 3-5 years, you won’t even be recognizable. Excellent stuff Alex! Kids these days are truly bless with this easy to obtain knowledge 😂
Q
How do you go about choosing what you want to do in life. How do you find a purpose(s)
@@papagoose8067 The answer to that question really varies depending on the person. For me it's pretty simple. I just pursue what I love to do. What give me excitement and fullfilment. Once I started doing that, everything just fell into place. I mean, I worked very hard for it, but the oppotunities were plentiful, and I wasn't afraid to go after them.
@@DatSamurai I could not have said it better. Pursue the thing or things that you love to do. Research the things and research the people that do them. Then, go for it.
@@DatSamurai I think pursuing hanging out, chilling and having fun is not the best career advice. If I would pursue that on a daily basis, I would soon be unemployed and bankrupt.
I love how Alex just throws this out there without a single shred of self-interest. Just wanting people to succeed and delivering some serious value. 🙌
Its true. Its a super cool thing that Alex has taken the time to do!
Yes and his wife is amazing as well, Layla I think her name is?
This video hit me hard in the stomach. This is what my wife's father did for his family after immigrating his family from Vietnam. America is great because people can work hard and move forward. Happy 4th!
So awesome, happy 4th!
As a Recruiter this is facts. When people take the effort to do more than just applying, it def stands out. Some of the jobs we post we get 50+ resumes. You have to stand out
What extras stand out?
I see, okay. Thank you
@ngnoiddottv Heard a guy say that the future only required jobs will be Prompt engineering and an interpretator of the info the AI gives.
@ngnoiddottvnope this is wrong. Ai is nowhere near this advanced and it's not all a net benefit. People thought the internet would give us flying cars and recreational Mars trips instead all we have in a bunch of lonely, isolated, mentally unstable people at each other's throats plus a nuclear war probably later this year
@ngnoiddottv couldn’t be further from the truth. it’s just like they said computers & technology would put everyone out of jobs. AI will create new jobs, and people with current jobs will just implement AI to make themselves more effective and efficient. saying “none of this matters” is just a cop out because you’re stubborn.
Alex - this video couldn't hit home more for me. I started with nothing, came from a poor family, and I had a burning desire to give back to my mother. Starting at age 20 at san diego state all I did was hustle every single day. Stacked my classes on tuesday and thursday, cold called 12 hours a day rest of the days trying to get a lead. Fast forward 5 years later, I have sold more apartment building in san diego than anyone else in the past 2 years and have invested all of my money into cash flowing assets. When you first start, it might seem like you're going nowhere, but if you stick with it, you will become successful. Its only a matter of time. This video still motivated me to be better, I appreciate all your content alex!
Respect!
No one cares bro
broke mindset right there@@l.r9655
Damn cold calling motivation 😂
Well done man! I respect that.
Great video! It’s beautiful how you brought yourself into the very situation of the guy. People just really need to be wiser with handling money. Well, I'm so happy I made the best decisions by having a good investments. I just bought my third house.
That's nice! But how did you manage to achieve all that even with the current economic situation? Please, I'll appreciate your assistance on how to go about it, I'm so looking for a way to pay up my debts and also achieve my goals!
The best strategy to use in trading is to trade with a professional who understands the market quite well, that way maximum profit is guaranteed. I'll highly recommend Brenda Brown, she is my current trader and her strategies are working
Actually, this is not the first time am hearing of Brenda Brown and her exploits, how she handles investments and generates good profits. She has really made a good name for her self, but I have no idea how to reach her.
She has a verified account on t e l e gramm
Brendabrown is the name to look for
I wish this young man and his family success and happiness!
Elianboer7593, Amen in Jesus name!
There are no words to describe how amazing this video is. Sometimes you just need to hear it from somebody. Thank you for being you.
You put things a certain way that really resonates with me and so many others. Keep up the good work brother, you are making a huge difference. ✊🏻
This guy is all about results and thats inspiring me every day. People who dont have your goals words are irrelevant.
This is a FIRE speech! I wish I had this at 20. I am 42 now, did a lot of these things, wish I did more
It's not too late man.
You just have to believe "Age is just a number"! if you still have strength in your body and on your mind, you are still young, you can do anything you want if you try hard enough.
Not too late, most successful business owners didn’t start until their 30s 40s
somebody cared for you to make your living
42 myself, and just starting my own business, and also have a growing youtube channel, never too late, but I do wish I'd had the determination when I was younger.
That first tip cutting costs makes such a HUGE difference. I went from living semi-comfortably paycheck to paycheck in a 2 bed apartment, moved in with an older couple whose kids are out of the house and already having their own kids. I got my own room, which is enough. I got my own bathroom, which is more than I need. Ontop of that, I no longer have a car, instead I ride a $100 bike to a job that is close enough I can cut that expense of a vehicle out of my budget almost entirely (still have to buy inner tubes every once in a while). With the money I'm saving this way, I have literally 1/3 of my cash flow as "free money" that I have been saving, investing, and putting into the things I need to start my own business or fuel my success.
I can't emphasize enough that if your main stress in life is making ends meet, there's probably a way you can live a bit less comfortably but find even more comfort from being financially stable. Not having netflix, or youtube music, or a new pair of shoes, none of this matters to me when I'm sitting in a park in some of my thinking/brainstorming time and I don't have to even think about how to pay rent for one second. Being less comfortable is something you can get used to, and if that buys you the ability to think clearly about what you can do to achieve greater success then the value you get from the cheaper options is immeasurable.
Take this one in people.
Right on. Creature Comfort is not peace of mind, but peace of mind yields that baseline comfort. I’m working to trim the fat, so to speak. Thanks for your post.
You just preached a sermon 🙌🏾 This was a word. I completely agree with everything.
Love this. Makes me respect the hell out of him. ❤
Who is Trevor James Beckerman?
Regularly investing in high-quality paying options and working with a long-term advisor like Mr Trevor J.B is a pretty simple technique for generating generational wealth. Many thanks to him for his novel approaches to reaching high numbers.
I have always told people to be deliberate about financial decisions Ever grateful to my finance planner Trevor James Beckerman I now have a six-figure portfolio, which pays a dividend of 15,000 weekly
Now this is what I'm talking about! One thing I learned a long time ago was, volume negates luck! Granted it was said slightly different, it was the same thing. I would ask almost every girl I wanted to skate with at the Rink when I was 7-8th grade and that's when I learned everything is a numbers game. It helped me drastically in life, because I've never been afraid to hear no. I've landed some amazing jobs over the years, because I was willing to go in and show my self confidence.
Great advice! When I was broke working for minimum wage 10 years ago I followed a very similar path. Unfortunately Uber and Lyft were just getting started and wasn't really doing much so it wasn't an option for me. However, I ended up getting two jobs, both minimum wage, moving in with family and then working on developing my skills and then applying to better jobs. Today, my one job pays more than double what I made from BOTH jobs and my side business pays me more than what I made from one of those jobs. If you're watching this video you have WAY WAY more opportunities than what I had in 2013 so go for it!

I wish you luck to anyone is the struggle.
It's super refreshing to someone actually take this amount of time to reach out to one person. Not for clout of show but to give actual feedback and pearls of wisdom. I hope that He didn't squander it.
"Be harder than your circumstances ! " ( and don't let the bad ones define you! ) Awesome humans dropping game ! Thank you !

Man, I'm in my sixties and starting my own business, bootstrapping...and that was inspirational for me!!
Man Alex I have tremendous respect for you for taking the time to make this video for him (and others). Deeply appreciate your brilliance and they way you serve others through your videos, interviews, book(s) etc
I needed this. My progress has felt slow but this kind of stuff keeps me going. Thank you
For that bro! I just watched the video, and I have to say, it hit home. Your determination is inspiring. I know things seem tough right now, but remember, this is just a season. You have the power to turn things around.
Cutting costs and increasing income are solid strategies. Remember, every rejection is just a step closer to a 'yes'. Stay focused and keep pushing forward. We're all rooting for you!
Shed some tears listening to this. I have so much love and ready for you and your woman Alex. No Luck. That’s literally how I live. It helps me understand that it’s up to me to make shot happen.
Thank you for sharing this. Even though this video and letter was written for a specific person you bumped into, you may be reaching others with similar stories unintentionally. Thank you for that. I started my career and finished school at 30 years old, with little to no financial literally and crawled out the pits of poverty all while a mother to a growing 11 year old. It wasn't easy. And I'm still struggling because when you come from nothing, you have to build up from 0. My advice to the youth... You are the captain of your life, the master of your fate. If you think you CAN or you think you can't, you're right.
I’ve been pulling myself from the debts of being an average person living paycheck to paycheck and I started my own buisness last year and we did just shy of 2mill in the first 12 months I listen to these videos because they remind me I’m doing the right thing sacrificing I work 7 days a week since I started and I’m getting a lot of push back from friends and family and in a few years I’m hoping it will pay off and who ever needs to hear this I believe this is the way to be successful, work for it like you life depends on it because one day how you live will depend on what you worked
doing what?
The one main thing this guy leaves out, and it's crucial, is that when you're at the bottom, especially in blue collar, hard work only gets you more hard work. You have to have the personality people want to be around to move up. Some of the most incompetent people in the workforce got where they are not because of what they know, but who they know.
this is hardcore advice. pure gold and realtalk
Top shelf advice.. when it stings to hear you know it is the good stuff.
Food for thought: Place a sizeable portion of your earnings in fixed-income securities like treasury bills, corporate bonds, government securities, debentures etc and let it compound. It will take you far I promise. If you're not really versatile in these matters, get an advisor. I promise that you won't find it clichè and the amount of knowledge you'll grasp in a short period on what you should've been doing all along to see you succeed will amaze you.
Well, making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, compounding gave me my first million in 2012, people are afraid of risks, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
Monitoring my portfolio closely has been incredibly rewarding. In just the past two quarters, I've made an impressive $110k. It's fascinating to see how experienced traders can generate significant returns. This has definitely been a bold and exciting decision for me.
@@kevincooper0 Your experience sounds fascinating. Would you be able to recommend a reliable advisor whom you have consulted with?

Terrible advice
Wow I am starting to do all this but it took me til 52 to learn to stop allowing others to hold me back. This year I am working to open my own business and I never thought that could happen.
Been doing this for two years since I had my son at 21 and you're absolutely right. This one hit different.
Damn, Alex. That's some honest truth right there. I can't be the only person who needs to hear this. Thanks, Alex!
Probably one of your most powerful messages to every young person out there that wants more then average, more than what school teaches, more than their peera and parents. Go Push through the season, because you have to, to make it to the next level.
I love that you took the time to give a personal answer to this dude... Along with others that are in the same boat... Great advice! So many keep people in their lives that just drag them down... Much love! Go get it Divante!
Watched this video, yesterday I kept telling myself "volume beats luck." And proceeded to send messages on IG all day.
So far I have a 12.5% response rate.
No closes, but we're well on our way.
Thanks Alex!
Let's go Ivante!
This is the most awesome and inspiring video I have seen in the last 20 years! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm so inspired by you and your wife. I'm a sixty two year old ADHD female, I drive a taxi. I work between 72 to 84 hours a week. I have a great boss. When i first went to work for him I worked 172 days straight without an off day.... just prove to him, What i'm about. Long back story I won't get into but here's the plan.... I want a RUclips channel, (and to be an air bnb glamping host). I have so many things to share about my community, and my life and my generation.. There is still so much I want to do in this world. Thank you Alex for the inspiration. you have no idea how bad I needed to hear this too. I will be watching this over and over. Hang in there Evonte. You're young, And obviously smart. I waited almost too late in life For this reality check. Don't make the same mistake. Listen to this man he is wiser than his years. God bless you all. Love from east tennessee.
“Yes, I am extreme and I am unbalanced.” 😂💚
Every single word of this is incredible and meaningful! I am a single mother and I am doing just that now, built my website, reaching out to as many people for jobs as possible to increase income etc. Its a struggle but yes, do it now while she's 3 years old and in preschool rather than when she's older and remembers everything.
This will probably go down as the great Hormozi video of all time? Sitting here at 29 realizing I’m not at ALL where I thought I’d be. It’s time to enter the season and not look back til the work is done. This video is epic.
Good luck bro
Alex, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I think this is the best one you’ve put out. It’s 15 min of pure gold. Thank you for making these.
13:27 Bismillah : My man you a Rockstar thank you for this .Keep doing what you doing

I’m 25 just started a Carrier service and LLC. Def took a lot out of me and made me stronger. The anger from those two jobs will make bro more hungry as his soul strive for more purpose. I have an extremely positive mindset and agree with most things you said. The only thing is changes do need to be made in our society. I have no kids it it was hard af for me to get this far. Not complaining but society need to do better towards kids and families. I help homeless and families all the time. Hardwork is key but while we work hard we must hold the forces that be accountable as a society. Blessing if you reading this fam 🙏🏾
unfortunately we have little control over society but we can control ourselves and influence the famalies we build.
@@evelynannrose agreed 💎
God bless
Love this. I am just over two years into my "hustle" and doing extra work and improving my skills. I've put so many hours into this and I am finally starting to see results. I have sacrificed a lot of my time, but the amount of time I will now gain for the rest of my life is so worth it. I am on track to not have to work a 9 to 5 and I am in my late 20s. Listen to Alex and do exactly what he says. Remember it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill.
Lend me $1K I’m drowning over here
Im the dude who's 30, didnt wake up on time, got a 7 year old, not as broke as before, but still paycheck to paycheck and it hurts.
Not too late homie
I’m 36 with a 9 year old and just made it out of a similar situation. I feel like I can finally breathe. Don’t give up man.

Alex, I hope to do business with you someday because I just love that you let your hair do what it wants and dress simple in your own company’s clothing. I feel like you’re a real person. Thanks for all the help and motivation, bro!!
I needed that today. Thank you Alex. This may be the best video you've ever done!
Alex, you provide incredible value and inspiration that I’ve always respected you for since the first time I was introduced to you by Billy Gene, but this just took it to a whole other level. Thank you so much for pouring into this young man and others like him in our community. These were straight gems and of course, in posting this, it will provide the blueprint to him and all those who have the hunger and passion to pick it up and run with it. You’re a class act. Thank you!👏🏾👏🏾♥️♥️
Alex is spot on here. I was born and raised in a small town in Alabama where while I was trying to provide for me and my meth addicted mother the Walmart hadn't made a new hire in 2 years. I couldn't get online jobs at the time so I went retail sales, moved cross country to the silicone slopes, and transitioned to tech sales. In the past 5, I've quadrupled what I was making by adding skill after skill.
Much respect for this. It shows you in a different light. Taking the time out to do this video for that person proves you're not on RUclips just for gain$$. You provide great value therefore im a proud follower of Alex Hormozi.
VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus. Different models and parameters are used by different industries but *VRI TOKEN* info is pretty much universal. If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well
Insightful video. I just want to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments. I'm 27, and earn nothing less $150k per year, but nothing to show for it yet
When people have money, they spend it. And some people spend more money when they have more of it. If you want to improve your finanncial management, you should consult with a finanncial adviisor.
You can escape the traps of lifestyle inflation by hiring a professional adviisor to help you plan your short- and long-term goals; it all boils down to adequate coaching. I've witnessed my salary produce money over the last two years and six months, and I now have a fully paid-off house and at least $2.2 million in saviings. All of this is the consequence of later invstments and the use of profesional asistance.
@@baileymclean8186 Nice, who is the FA aiding you if this is not much i'm asking? my retirement plans are going down the drain with my 401k particularly losing everything it gained ever since 2019
@@glenbert1396 Her name is "JILL MARIE CARROLL", cant divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can search her online as she is SEC and FINRA regulated.
@@baileymclean8186 This is useful information; I copied her full name and pasted it into my browser; her website popped up immediately and her qualifications are excellent; thanks for sharing.
This is easily the most impactful video I’ve seen from your channel. Everything here is spot on! I started to view the job search in this framework and it’s just made my life so much easier realizing that every interview regardless of outcome is a learning experience and I get better every time I do them!
Just finished my 5th 14 hr day in a row, saving to pursue my career in music production at MI. I’m dead tired but I know it’s all for the right reasons. Needed to hear this
You can do it and now that you’ve started, whatever you do don’t let your mind tell you to stop.
You can learn music production on RUclips for free. There's so much great free information online and on RUclips.
If you're planning to save money to go learn at a music school, I tell you now it ain't worth it, trust me, I made that mistake and now I'm 20k in debt from something I could've learned online for free. Also, you can go an intern at a reputable music studio near by for free and learn a whole bunch of shit school will not teach you. You need to cut those working ours to a normal schedule and the rest of the hours use them to go intern at the studio and learn from online tutorials. You can also buy books on the subject. There are many good books on music production. One thing I do tell you is, learn music theory and learn how to play the piano fluently, that is going to help you a ton. Good luck 👍
Music production? You're busting your ass saving for a degree in something you could learn from skillshare? And that isn't going to pay you jack shit after you learn it?
Make music production a hobby, then a side hustle if you really like it. In the meantime, learn something that's going to pay you damn well for learning it, then use that to make more, to have time to learn whatever you want to.
Think he wants to be a music producer for movies, big artist, and other bigger media that requires a degree
@@moralesmedia4282
That doesn't change my point. You don't graduate and then get to produce for top artists. If he did something that made more, then he could do music production in his off time and not have the stress of his livelihood hinging on the results of his production work.
Learning skills while working is really hard to do, but it’s absolutely necessary. I moved home at 27 into my parents basement because I was working, but had low income and too many bills. I felt like a total loser. Studied and hustled and learned new skills. 18 months later, landed a great job. 2 years after that, moved to Europe with a job transfer. 2 years after that, I moved back home and paid cash for my car (no car payment). 3 months after that, I bought my first home.
What Alex broke down is the correct formula.
One thing I didn’t hear mentioned is that you gotta surround yourself with people who also are bettering their lives. This also means get away from anyone who drags you down or has a poor mans mindset.
I was too busy listening carefully to noticed at the 15 min mark that you're in a plane alone and doing something productive to help other people. Love it thanks - I set a goal to send 3 applications a day until I got the job I'm looking for, currently at rejection #8. Thanks for reminding me about persistence and just listed to the "point of the game is to play podcast - infinity game approach". I think that is the most hard-hitting realization i've had in a while. Anyways, thank you
My best friend from law school left the country for 2 years and came back looking for a job. Couldn’t find any. No one called him. He did exactly what you’re describing. And he went in person and started leaving cover letters in person. Just left a lot of cover letters to many businesses. That’s when he started getting called. And there was one huge transnational company that hired him. He worked so hard it was hard to recognize him cause he was always lazy at school. After that he only kept improving and getting bigger roles and now he’s at an even more top transnational earning a lot more money… and crazy to think years ago he was jobless for a year and delivering his resume to multiple companies. Most will say no to you but you only need one door to open.
This is exactly what I did 5 years ago (learned to code instead of sell) and 10x'd my income over that time. Hoping to do the same over the next 5 years.
Hello! I am currently working in the healthcare field but I have always loved computers and wanted to learn coding/programming but I feel very intimidated and don’t know where to start.
I’m only 24 and would love to get into the field before it’s too late. How did you start? What would you recommend focusing on and learning?
I’d really appreciate the reply and thank you in advance.
Alex, you are changing so many lives everyday with your wisdom. We are truly grateful for you.
This hit home.... articulated so well! Thank you for this
Following this advice works at the same time causes others to struggle and change ways. Not everyone can live with many usable resources concurrently.
Sad that 99% of people won't do any of this.
As the youngest Senior Software Engineering Manager on my team, I can definitely attest to volume, outworking and getting rejected a bunch of times is the only route for success....for many things!
Finally! Someone who tells it like it is..: what an amazing answer. I recently found your book and couldn’t stop listening it from start to finish. I CANNOT wait for your next book. The value you gave blew my mind. I felt like it was everything I needed to hear. I am a new “fan” and will learn everything I can from you. Thanks Alex!😊
