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.
Absolutely, this one stings in a good way. Ditched corporate life, lost status, fear of failing in front of others. But I’m on the socials in front of everyone every day and you know what I fear more? The version of myself that never left the corporate job.
Mr beast explaining what it takes to make it on yt is a huge inspiration for what you do, check it out man
Such a great perspective! 👍🏼 ❤
Are you still ruled by fear?
@@edheldude not even slightly. Not even hit baseline “succeeding” yet but my confidence is high and I feel great. From nothing but pushing through the fear and doing the reps.

You’re not starting from scratch, you are starting from experience
Starting from scratch to gain experience
You have no Idea how much I needed to hear this right now my dude. Left a big engineering firm to start my own company and let me tell you - it's much more difficult than I thought
You've gat this, and would make it big! 🔥
What country is this?
@@FarFromFearA2Z South Africa
@@hersenskimGood on you, keep it up!
I feel the same. That's why I did weight lifting. It's solo, nobody judges. But if it's a group setting, I hate failing. God knows people don't care if you tried your best and still dislike you for not always succeeding
"did you got to college" is hilarious to me, because some of the highest income and earning potential people I know didn't get a degree at all. Some people are borderline NPCs, and anything that shows success outside their narrow af scope causes them to freeze up.
I think it’s because it’s necessary to take that step back and see who and what you are without the status or others to identify with.
Where's the full video for this please?

One cannot save his face and save his ass at the same time...
Agreed! Need to take a step back to take two steps forward
You usually have to take a step back or two in order to take ten steps forward 👌🫶👏🙌💪🙏
I thought this was Brandon Herrera the wholr time
My brother once said you need to take a step back to take two steps forward! Right on the money.
Love this
Thanks Man.
Sometimes, it's good to take a few steps back, a decrease in status and monetary gains if you wanna have a break, learn new things and challenge yourself. It helps you to put things into perspective and discover new opportunities where people won't bother going there.
Keep up the good work mate.
So much relatable, I had really good grades till 10th grade, kind of tripped a bit in 11th and 12th grade, currently building my freelance business, and choosing maybe ACCA or CS for my bachelor's in the mid of this year. When i initially told my close friends about this (they have monstrous grades in 12th grade), they kinda judged me a little bit, apart from my 2-3 friends who are my buddies for life. Currently practicing every day and learning and honing my skills,learning client acquisition and sales bit by bit. Even at home, everybody is skeptical of me, but I will prove it and soon hopefully. ❤
I needed it badly man😶. Hope everything goes well soon and i succeed in my business
His beard is 😬😬😬
Very true. If no one knew who you were, you'd do what you want without giving a shit.
Thanks man this helps me go through tough times
Fear of failing to me is the aversiveness that was conditioned into me and the rejection and abandonment that goes with it. If you do much Attachment fear research it becomes clear that abandonment fears are Literally the fear of death. Which intellectually it’s easy to dismiss it or intellectualize the idea. Not as many people ever get passed that truly. They might end up in a sort of disillusioned detachment but that’s not neccesarily healed.
You can heal that. I did. It's necessary to have strong foundation or your wounds will color or corrupt the things you're trying to build.
Plz gift me I pade Alex ❤🎉
As Sartre said, l'enfer, c'est les autres
Love the real talk ❤
Feeling that💯
My fear stems from ex friends and family actually trying to sabotage my businesses. Some I almost had to put restraining orders on because they wouldn't stop. They literally did not want me to succeed because they felt superior to me and they could not allow that narrative to change.
