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.

As a 19 year old male it’s so amazing hearing a 20 min video that could take 100 years to learn these things on my own
Hearing is one thing... Understanding it at an integrated level with one's self is a whole different thing. That, takes life. And time.
@@thehoov6672 that's exactly right, even he said the same thing in one of the points, the one about books, same is true here, if you don't change your behaviour as a result of learning all of this then it's a waste of time, because you didn't give it enough thought and effort in order to be able to assimilate it into your self.
Experiential understanding > conceptual understand
As a 19 year old transgender Muslim I agree
@@nicogularte as a 19 year old, transgender, muslim, with a gluten allergy i agree
Talent recruitment is a skill he definitely has. The person who edited this video is VERY talented.
SEO and content marketing on point ☝🏾 💯
He claimed he is spending $70,000 per month on content creation. It absolutely shows. Everyone on TikTok copies this editing style now.
I think the opposite, it looks like a 4th grader homework project. I think his old school stuff looked more genuine and authentic
@@jimsdigitalmarketing I agree . I enjoy the old videos better. It's more him. its too much editing and I dunno maybe their goal is to please people with short attention span. but I definitely enjoy the older videos without so much things going on. But I get it. he doesnt have time to edit these videos. he's got better things to do. I still enjoy the content regardless. I learn a lot and that is the main goal
@@jimsdigitalmarketing i love editing and i can agree with you, but this editor making bank for sure. lucky him/her
I dont think ive found someone who is so relatable and good with advising others then you. Anyone person you mentor has infinite potential.
I think that's because he has "lost" Amy Times and made many thing he can improve. And saw those moments, this challenges, thos possibilities.
He is mentoring us with his videos - we got infinite potential
Yes agree
Does Alex have a list of books he would personally recommend??
Your right we do
Speaking of GOAT.. I wish I’d found Alex years ago. I’m +50, 6 figure tech manager and have just stumbled on to these videos. What a treasure trove. It took me a really long time to learn a lot of this stuff (no e-books, no internet in my generation) and, frankly, I’m learning new things as well.. lots of new things. Thanks Alex!
Respect to you sir. You are in the right track 💯
Any updates! How you guys looking out there?
Bro says he's 50+ and uses the word "GOAT". I don't mean to be rude, but it is unlikely that this comment is true.
@@Savitar..the same thought striked me , but you never know could be true(chances are low tho)
“Either the business is growing, or I am”.
That hit like a ton of bricks!!
Alex nailed so many lessons here that took me 40 years to learn. If you are in your 20s and watching this, really take the time to digest it. Each one will take time to put into practice, but you will have an insane advantage.
Thank you

Thank you
It's really great isn't it? To think how we struggled. "A fool learns by their mistakes, a wise person learns from the mistakes of others"
im 17 watching this
I’m almost 68 years old and reasonably successful. Yet, I found AH and realized I’m not finished … solid gold info that requires action. Thank you, Mr Hormozi
Hey can you help me?
Man I feel like people would expect a talk about “how to get money easy” but this video provides so much more. These mentality fundamentals are the key to making the best decisions in life that would lead to success. This is awesome
Thank you so much. Lesson 13 really struck a chord today and explains a lot of where my energy and focus goes. Accepting where I am, parking happiness and just doing the work! Making Progress - forget what anyone else thinks. I have been focusing way too much on feeling better… Thank you ❤
Number 13 rocks....i've watched EVERY vid you've put out and this one is superb.....i like this video so much that i'm going to rewatch it ( likely several times ).....your progress is astounding not only with your info but clearly with your self knowledge....keep rockin' it Alex...BRAVO
I like what you said about listening instead of talking! Knowing that you don’t know everything is one of the major keys! 🔑
Alex is deliverying so much value in all videos. It's no bullsht it's no fluff, just value. I'm really amazed by the quality of his thinking

Kool, wow AI is powerful looked up tammy AI thanks dude
Good bot
Every time I watch you on RUclips all I do is go and work on my business! Thank you for the inspiration
These lessons are so great! I've hear some of them before from other people but the way you presented them really made me see the impact they can have to go forward in life. Thank you for sharing them!
Sitting here with tears…for too long I’ve been the victim of my own mindsets. Although these were your lessons, they are lessons to all and I for one won’t sit idly by any longer. Thank you!

Stop crying you’re a man, just fix the issue in front of you
@@Carlos-sr8km 😂😂 and men don’t cry, right? I said I’m sitting with tears. That’s really quite disconnected from crying but thanks for projecting your inability to show emotion on to me. I think it’s working.

We really need more people like him.
Thanks sir, for all the content you put out here.
This is someone whose lived a life they preach. Thank you Alex for sharing your experiences and the lessons learned
As a 24-year-old, I definitely relate to. Trying to stay focused & do one thing. It Gets SOO tempting to try other things, especially entering year 2 on building my channel & brand & seeing little progress, when in fact barely anytime has passed, I'm still new at it "The commitment to the action itself is what makes someone extraordinary" is a quote I should tattoo on my forehead 😂
you shouldn't have stopped, your vids are great!
@@InnelsTest Thank you!! & don't worrry I just decided to pivot to daily short form content forrm the time being:)
Hello Money Making Community, my name is Emanuel, and I’m rather relatively new to the understanding of the world of e-commerce in its functionality and application in the real world over all. I was wondering if all possible, would someone like yourself, in the same pursuit path, be willing to communicate back with me in regard to possible growth towards e-commerce. We could brainstorm and share ideas as well as possibly learn from one another. Please feel free to reach back. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
Just recently found your channel and just want to say Thank You!!! I have gained a lot of knowledge from your content, I’m not even in sales but your vids give some great advice for life in general no matter what industry you work in or where you may be in life…wish I would have had this knowledge years ago BUT it’s never too late right ??!! Thanks again and appreciate you brotha!
The sheer depth of wisdom shoved into one video is incredible. This is the one book to read five times. Get this is your DNA and go be extraordinary. Love y'all
Probably the most valuable video on RUclips...
Straight gold!
Haven't seen 1 vid with so many gems like this in a long time.
One thing that he's not addressing is that even though he made these mistakes, they weren't mistakes in the long run. He learned how to say yes and take action. He learned how to speak up and thus learned how to talk. He learned how to sift through bad books to find tge good ones. He learned how to sift through actions to pick the good ones that increased his reputation, ect
As a 43 year old man, I can say I know and use most of these, but there was one lesson I was missing. I am going to be watching this every day for the next month just to re-enforce them. I have also subbed, I am looking forward to what other gems I can find on your channel.
Re: #8. I’m literally now starting to make a business out of what I was doing for fun as a kid. If I had just done it then, who knows where I’d be now. Keep doing the thing!!
This is pure value Alex. And not just value for value's sake, but super real and applicable.
I just binge Alex videos. Must apply the lessons ASAP!
This guy is absolutely AMAZING. Thank you Alex for all of your HIGH-CALIBER, thought-provoking content. God Bless You Sir.
New to you and I’m so glad I finally stumbled upon your videos. The value is HIGH. Thank you🙏
Number 4 is gold!! I’m going to watch this 5 times to soak up the knowledge.
Thank you!
Your self awareness and ability to reflect and learn from your experiences is admirable and creates exceptional content for your videos. Well done Alex 💚🙌
Your book $100M Offer is life changing. Read it whilst listening on audible in a week. Thank you 💪
I watched 1 year after Alex published it. This video is timeless.
Just started watching this video, only a minute in, but want to quickly say that your first point about ‘’not being able to learn anything if you are talking” is so true. I learned that decades ago and I have said the same thing to many people. So true… ok I’ll continue on with the video now, lol.
Okay. I’ve been watching your videos, and they are great, but once you mentioned “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, that got me. I ONLY read this book. I read it every morning (for the past couple of months). Upon re-reading, you find new ways to think of it all over again, and overtime, it has truly changed my behavior. Would love to talk to you about this book!
It's a powerful book.
I define humility as being teachable. Whether that occurs in the privacy of your own mind/home for your own self development, in relationships to listen to others to really hear them and not just to speak or interrupt, and in business to learn what you need to learn in order to grow.
This man is very wise and well spoken and can articulate. Great advice, I’m definitely re-calibrating my life. Thank you!
I think I need to treat RUclips videos like books and just watch the good ones over and over and over again until I absorb all the knowledge. Thanks for all you do man
It's an absolute honor to have you as a mentor. I've learned so much from your videos, particularly in making sound financial choices. It has truly transformed my life. Thank you for introducing me to Mrs. Michelle Barnett - working with her has been the best decision I've made.
oh you know her too? I thought I was the only one she has helped overcome fears and navigate the forest.
Michelle Barnett is really different from every other Broker, with my little invested $2,500 I made returns of $9,500 within a few days.
How can I reach Michelle Barnett, does she have a telegram page??
Yes, she does and is very accessible with the username........
@MichelBarnett
This is a gem. Thank you Alex. Your influence is huge in me and-I am certain-in others too.
Holy shit dude. Mad respect on this video. Thank you so much. #13, ultra wow. What I appreciate so deeply is how much you've obviously committed to your own growth and development. You've also committed to memory so many things that have taken you a long time to learn, that have been amazing life and business lessons which you've again committed to learn. From failing and getting up again, no doubt
The point about "if its worth doing, its worth doing well" is like the saying my family always used a ton which is "if you're gonna do it, do it right"
Alex I can’t put into words how much I appreciate the massive amount of value you put out. You’ve sped up the trajectory of my philosophical and monetary progress tremendously and I’m sure that of many others. I can see where your philosophy and game plan will make you loads of money in the future but additionally you can’t imagine the value of your impact and how much you are about to change the game of business and self development and many many peoples lives. Much love 💪🏼
Does Alex have a list of books he would personally recommend??
Thanks a lot alex. This past year i went back to school. I will be finishing my course in two months. Im starting to look for the next training to build out my assets as a designer artist creative entrepreuner. Thanks so much for your help. You are 100% sincere and it really goes a long way. It made a real difference in my life the last year and a half finding you on youtube, listening to you snf taking your advice seriously and putting it intk practice. All the best and may you cross over that billion line 10 fold
I’m 21 years old, and i’m in college. Business is what I want to do with my life , many family members I have owned businesses. Definitely want to own physical businesses after college, and even thought about starting online businesses in college. That’s besides the point, as far as business, and even life lessons that you’re putting out there, i’m really trying to take the time to understand, digest, and apply all of this valuable information into my life. Thank you, and keep killing it brother.

YES, new video! Alex you have no idea how much we love listening to you.. keep them coming!
Big big THANK YOU Alex 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I began assuming I was dumber than everyone else and trust me, I was right most of the time. There's just so much knowledge and one cannot possibly know every single niche. It pays to shut up!
This dude is priceless..wish i found him earlier... so much value in these videos
I’m 21 I quit my well paying 9-5 to start my own Vehicle wrapping business about 2 months ago. It’s rough right now but I see the other side and your videos are making the process a lot better. I truly appreciate you Alex
You live with your parents and have no dependents that’s okay, that is the best time to take risks
These lessons are invaluable. Extremally grateful for sharing these.
Just found you today. A lot of what you say really resonates and gives more clarity. Big thanks!
Just found you last night in an interview with Ali. Bought your book and and listening to it on audible right now. Thank you for what your doing
You won't regret it!! The book is filled with tons of value!!
That was such a great interview
He gave so much value. This person is a LEGEND.
Just discovered your channel, love the energy and the meaning behind your words man, thankyou
Talent recruitment is definitely one of Alex's skills. This video is brilliantly edited, showcasing his valuable lessons. This video provides so much more than just 'get rich quick' talk. It's about mentality fundamentals that lead to true success.
Alex bro. You are really helping us young lads really set the vision & the plan for the future with probably a lot less mistakes. I appreciate you bro
Thank you for your factual practical videos and I love your down to earth humble attitude xx
This is quite possibly one of the most information dense, concise, perfectly targeted pieces of content I have ever consumed.
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly" GK Chesterton. Do not wait until you think you are putting forth an admirable effort in order to take action. The only one who never failed an attempt, is the one who failed to attempt, and that is the greatest failure.
Every video keeps getting better 👌🏼 Thanks for sharing these lessons!
Feel free to reach out for more tips on how to build your finances.
Not sure when it was that I discovered Alex but I am eternally grateful. Absolute GOLD!
Feel free to reach out for more tips on how to build your finances.
As a gifted person I have learned that I must never lose sight of the possibility of complacency. It's so dangerous.
Just found your channel today and been devouring all the videos, so much wisdom on it! Keep up! 🔥
Love this and I think you can take the principles with online videos. I've started watching my MoziNation videos over and over again until my behavior reflects the education in the video...rather than mindlessly watching all the videos without a clear intention.
You are a good dude Alex. A bright mark for many out there. Keep grinding.
Wow ! This video is worth more than reading 100 best sellers
Thanks for posting, I’ve listened to all your mindset and belief videos and many others too, thanks for putting out such valuable content! I’m 54 and learn so much from you and my other favorite, Jim Rohn. Thanks again, all the best to you!

This is the kind of content I would like to see, as I would put it on a playlist and play this on a work out.
Wow! 6 months later they won’t think about you at all! Wow! I needed to hear that. :)
One of the most influential videos on so many levels that I have ever watched in my life
An absolute masterclass. Flowers to you Alex. You are brilliant.
Alex is sneaking people into the spiritual aspect of business
Once you accept your not unique in any way and don’t deserve anything you didn’t work for changes everything. This channel helps me stay motivated and analyze my life.
I've watched so many of his videos, but this one resonated with me the most, I can't work out why this content is free, I understand because he explains but it's just the opposite of everything I've experienced in life.
You are my favorite mentor even though you are unaware! Your videos have helped me in my business, thank you , thank you!
Thank you for these lessons!! I appreciate you sharing this, I am inspired to keep working towards even a fraction of these.
Thank you for condensing such valuable life lessons into something so easily digestible. Now we just have to apply lesson 4 on this video and level up ⬆️
Alex, I found you on Dave Ramsey’s show. At age 49, I am tired of paying the debt and ignorant tax. Thank you for what you shared.
We love you & your wife, thank you so much for sharing, stay blessed and keep shining! 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you so much for this advice and the candid transparency you shared it with, especially the parts about your younger self.
Just like you read a book that provides value 5x over, I’m going to come back to this video until these values are embedded deep within me. Broken down so well man, so easy to digest.
I appreciate you!
One of the best videos thank you for passing knowledge down. Truly one of the best content creators in media!! You give a lot (free-especially). A lot of game. Thank you man!
The book tip is huge. This is why "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius is one of the greatest works ever written: he wrote it for himself, not for an audience.
#7 never take advice from someone you wouldn’t trade places with. Learned that one from Never Split the Difference 👍
Appreciate you doing these Alex!
As a 16yr old i could learn lot of lessons from you bro!thanks a lot bro❤❤
Excellent communicator and very incisive.
Wow!
Another video with priceless wisdom from Alex Hormozi. Thanks, cat!
Just pure gold every single time. Thank you.
Thank You So Much Alex. Im a 17yo entreprenur and having a positive role model like you in my life has genuinly bettered me so much.
This is unbelievable advice that this man is giving out for free. Kudos to you sir, you're doing some great work 👌
He is getting paid for this, lol.
Pure gold, bud. Much appreciated.
every young man watching this, take the time. Watch it over and over again, you have no idea how lucky you are to come across all this knowledge at your age.
Indeed. I've listened to this video for over 30+ times already and it's still powerful
14:46 when he says he has to give his life to get it. It reminded me of this verse : “Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.”
Luke 17:33 ESV
Awesome post and appreciate the wisdom. Glad I found your channel!
