This quote hit me hard. "Sadness comes from a lack of options which is why it feels like hopelessness. Anxiety comes from many options but a lack of priorities which is why it feels like paralysis, looking everywhere but moving nowhere. Solve sadness with knowledge and anxiety with a decision. Understanding this changed my life." Time to work on getting the RIGHT knowledge and start making decisions even if no one agrees with them.
@@averynmitchell also the point of anxiety is not just the existence of choices but no direction, it's even more so the felt pressure to make a choice, but not knowing what choice to make due to limited experience with the choices available. It's why in a social setting for someone who has social anxiety, it's the felt pressure of having to act according to social norms but not having a lot of experience with social norms, thus not trusting what choice to make, since executing any choice well is not something one is experienced with. It's why social anxiety is best overcome by taking small steps where the choices are minimized, and the risks of messing up a choice is also equally minimized. Because the pressure to act comes from an internal fear, not an actual external pressure. Most external factors don't even care about you acting or not, to them it's a brief moment but for oneself it can feel like an overwhelming defeat to do the wrong thing and do it suboptimally. Small low-risk steps to build experience over time, eventually leads to bigger anxiety-inducing situations having less of an impact, because the outcomes of each choice available have been made more predictable over time. But the key is always to start small, then grow big over time.
3:00 what entrepeneurship is, not being sure if it’s gonna work. Just uncertainty and occasional milestones. 4:10 what kind of offer the real entrepeneurship is, sticking with the same thing even though it’s hard, you’re not sure if it’s gonna work , takes forever 6:10 what kind of vehicle are you in, what tools do you have? 7:10 running a restaurant is the same rough difficulty as making a much bigger business 8:00 why you shouldn’t be afraid of wasted effort in business. Battling uncertainty is built into the game. Your skills are the true product of the work 8:50 skills are your retirement
I always have difficulties with these kinds of advice. While they are true, they only describe, what the mindset and the behaviours are that are needed, but not how to get to those mindsets and behaviours. Like "embrace uncertainty". I can tell myself to embrace uncertainty, but when the uncertainty is there, it's still so emotionally burdensome that I start to get mental and physical symptoms like sleeplessness, sickness, excessive gagging, vomitting, heartburn, trembling, palpitations, focus problems, depression. Of course I can push through that some time, but when the concentration isn't there not much will come out of it. And I cannot force myself to have the focus. So a really valuable advice would not be to "embrace uncertainty", but how to avoid getting sick from it.
Most people are just not meant for it, and that's fine. Not everyone can be an entrepreneur, or a ruler, a doctor, or any other kind of occupation that require decision on money or life and death. If placidness, stability, and certainty is your way of life, so be it.
This is a pure of example of “giving for free” this is pure gold & it is what many people are aware of in regards to reaching success. There is a level of clarity hearing out loud from an idol that has built an empire for themselves. Keep pushing, keep providing value. & thank you again Mr. Alex for practicing what you preach.
The talking points on anxiety and hopelessness, I just experienced something for the first time in my life I couldn't just bounce back from. It felt like grief akin to the feeling of losing a loved one yet no tears were shed. This was a gut punch from someone that I thought was doing business in good faith when out of nowhere they completely changed character and I didn't see it coming meaning it completely shook me internally that I couldn't even problem solve properly. It kept me up for days at a time and I couldn't get them out of my head as I tried to assess what I did wrong rather than blaming them since I take extreme accountability on that part. Alex your advice really helped me today figure out what happened to me and it gave me the relief I needed to understand about what was going on. Appreciate you and all that you give out for free.
I am telling you right now... this guy IS going to change me from the inside out!... It's like he understands me and my constant challenges as an entrepreneur without ever having met me. Thank you so much, Alex. I will consume your content in every way I possibly can, as often as I possibly can
I watched every video this dude made from start to finish. And man’s taught me more than any teacher iv ever had. Taught me more than my father has in this lifetime
That’s not it. You’re just in a mindset to actually LEARN and LISTEN now. I’m sure, if your dad was halfway decent, he was telling you 80% of this since you were 5…
I started listening to this guy about 2 months ago. My new business is now going Monday - Friday every week with 25/40 clients a week. Excited to see how the rest of the year goes
11:51 - 14:33 I absolutely loved this part, especially your perspective on revenge - "No amount of pain you can inflict on a hater that will be more painful than their life". I really needed to *hear* this. Thank you so much Alex.
This video speaks to me and summarizes where am at right now: family and friends false expectations, uncertainty, feeling lost, learning tons with no results, giving up 15 years of university studies including completed PhD...the dream outcomes seem impossible to achieve. Thank you for reminding me of one thing I believe in. Skills are more important than a fast outcome.

Edit: After watching the whole video and 4 pages of notes later, just wanna say that a like is too short of an appretiation for this ridiculous amount of value.
I’ve been working as an entrepreneur 7 days a week, no vacations, no guarantees for over a decade. I’m now on the precipice of success. Hormozi speaks the truth.
This video is reassuring. It’s really difficult to stick with it especially when everyone around you has stability and tries to convince you to stay in the 9-5 trap. That’s not the life any of us want, do not settle. If you’re gonna fail, might as well go down swinging rather than submit to a life of daily misery and low aspirations. Staying stuck in a job/career you hate is more of a failure than trying at entrepreneurship and failing.
Same, it feels nice to listen to lots of other guys regarding a dozen different aspects, and knowing they're the top dogs, and I'm like, oh shoot that's what I already preach or strive for anyways
i’m a buzzing 18 year old artist & i consider myself an entrepreneur. The advice in this video will most definitely help me on my journey to the top. Thank you sir, subscribing now!
I remember my first enterprise. It was a tourist business where I advertised abroad in a foreign language. It was 1993 after a period of unemployment. I saw this business from the outside (aka. i copied someone's results..not their business model, i didn't know what that was) and decided that I needed to "crack the code" on what they were doing. With what i had, I spent my resources and with what felt like a lot of luck I had my first profit in about 4 months. I have repeated that several times. Some plans failed but others succeeded. The take away.... A plan that will work (some don't) has almost a life of it's own when you start it.
1:10 Counting in 100s is a totally new perspective for me to look at. Pure GOLD! Other than that, I aim to talk as articulate and simple as Alex does. Every word and sentence just makes sense, and he gets his point across quickly, which is difficult for me at least.
So many insightful perspectives from this video. I quit my job to work on this project and the uncertainty just never goes away but it's good to know that's how it's supposed to feel. So much content packed in here it definitely needs a rewatch to internalize all of it.
I've won the lottery with my spouse. She has been with me through thick and thin since middle school, and has never stopped believing in me. Even when 'the band was going to make it', even when I quit my six figure job to become an artist, and then 5 years later started a marketing agency. She is the best, and I'm so grateful for her.

Thank you for this video.!!! I’m doing ok for now but I know I should be doing more and I’m going to start shifting my time. Less time with entertainment and distraction and more time with goal oriented work!!!! 2024 is our year guys!!!!!!!😤💪🏾💯🏆🔥
This is pure motivation! Hormozination this is our move we should not neglect! 💪 Thank you Alex for changing my life now and probably forever in the future!
This was so dense it felt like an hour of RUclips shorts - going to have to rewatch a bunch! Also crazy that this abundance of quality information can be found for free 🤯
all quotes were really valuable , Curious, I intend retiring/working much less in 5 years and keen to know best, how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments? I earn up to $180K per year, but nothing to show for it yet
There are a lot of people like this. Im 52 and just getting serious about retirement. Its sad because the time to get serious was 20 years ago or even younger.
For me, I'm quite lucky exposed to financial planning at early age, started work at 21 and invested to my 401k through my employer, going forward I purchased first home at 33, unfortunately got laid-off afterwards, amid 2020 covid-outbreak. At once, I hired an advisor to help stay afloat, and as of today, I'm only 25% short of achieving my 7-figure ballpark goal after subsequents investments.
My advisor is Laura Grace Abels, a renowned figure in portfolio diversity. I recommend researching her further on the web, she's well established with over two decades of experience in her line of work.
Your videos have been life-changing man. I'm serious. I watched at least 20-30 of your videos and it's just awesome that many of the tips you give out you can immediately start applying and seeing a major difference, like with job interviews, etc.
Thank you! Really needed this. I felt so lost and overwhelmed for the last couple of months. Like I don't even know what I want to do anymore at this point.
I just turned 21 years old and I have a business I’m working on, but I’m re-evaluating my business plan and budget right now, but I’m working in law enforcement right now, and want to grow my youtube channel, but I love the idea of how hard entrepreneurship is because I think a lot of these wannabe entrepreneurs want to the work less, not work hard scheme which is bull**** because entrepreneurship is fu**ing hard! There is that book “The hard things about hard things.” That book sums up how hard business is, but in my late 20’s I’m hoping I’m a full on entrepreneur, it just sounds so exciting to me regardless of how difficult it is.
if it makes you better then no effort is wasted...man I think thats the shit I needed to hear, I'd been feeling pretty shitty this week after betting on myself, countless hours of research various sleepless nights and 48 hour work sessions, and still my business attempts falling flat on their face, for years I usually got right back up and tried to make a bigger better attempt but this time nothing was giving me hope like something inside me just broke, but this line lit up a little spark, I wish everyone success in their pursuit stay strong 💪
When I first stumbled about Alex with his glitchy camera and hearing what he had to say, I knew this guy was different from everyone. Alex is my go to guy for knowledge (even when I do not agree with everything), and I look at him like an older cousin I never met. I know I will reach my version of success with his help. Thank you Alex
The problem for me is I'm not in any pain. Life is actually really good and comfortable right now. I really want to build my business as I know it can change so many lives and revolutionise "work" and "employees" as a whole. I struggle getting myself to do the work though. To show up. I earn 4k-8k per month at the moment and work less than 2 hours per day. This is the freedom my younger self wished for. I traveled all of last year across Asia (japan, korea, taiwan, thailand, vietnam, bali etc.) I feel like without the pain it is actually harder to show up and do the work. I'm not running away from anything and because of the comfort of my current situation it becomes infinitely more difficult to take action into the unknown.

Alex, thank you. You’re the realest & most practical voice on business today hands down. Whenever I start talking to others about business, I’m given these “feel good” speeches about the universe and laws of attraction but never about working harder and putting in more effort. Super appreciative for this video; feel like I have the freedom now to continue focusing on putting in the work even when I feel terrible and uncertain and borderline depressed or any other feeling.
I watch these type of videos all day everyday to learn something new or remind myself what I have to do. This video is perfect and all real shit. Give thanks for the knowledge bro 🙌🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
The way you've shared your journey and the lessons you've learned is incredibly relatable and motivating. The emphasis on the importance of hard work, patience, and strategic planning really resonated with me. I'm curious, during those moments when you felt like giving up, what kept you going? Also, how do you balance the need for hard work with the importance of rest and self-care?
His content is good for himself, but its not the general truth. So many people got rich just for doing dumb shit on tik tok or whatever. Hard work leads basically many people to nothing.
Dude, you're literally like a machine gun of precious life knowledge. Your videos are so dense with useful, transformative information. Thank you for publishing it in such an accessible and engaging format! 🙌
Just pure value with every video. I am Eternally grateful for everything that Alex does. I cannot put a price on how much it has helped in my business life. Thanks again
That comment where family starts asking if you made money yet 2 weeks in made me laugh bc it's so accurate! I am almost 3 month in in content creation and I when I got my first gifted collab my mom was like, but that doesn't pay the bills. No shit, do you think brands just throw money at a new influencer who hasn't done a single collab yet? This will get so big over time and it will be so worth it. I'm thankful I get to minimalize my costs because of family and my fiancé, so I can go a few months, maybe even a year without earning much. This puts me at a massive advantage and I'm able to delay my reward
It’s always astonishing to be how as an individual that pursues the better part of himself can forget the tools that help shape him. I’ll listen to this driving down the road and I haven’t listened to you in a couple of months not for any reason I was just on another mission and I reposted thisto my Facebook page which has 10,000 followers as something greater than I could ever say. Than I could ever offer I needed this thank you.
i believe this is the best video for any guy whos in his 20s i have watched most of your videos and all of em are good but this one is so jam packed with all the relevant info thats insane
I realized that we only need weekends from the dead end 9-5, I work 7 days a week on my stuff because it's required in order to be successful for my brand.
The anxiety felt from too many options hit Home. I made a decision, made 10 sales calls and made 3 shorts for content and felt 1000% better. Thank you 🙏 Alex
20:22 That's true. I got my son to youngest black belt in his style without having done a day of karate. Soon I became "coach", same with my daughter, she got headhunted by an international modelling angency within a week of creating her instagram account, two examples. One day I realized I'mhelping everyone except myself, thats when I decided to start working on me.
Sometimes you just need to hear people that have done what you are currently doing, to understand how you feel and the stage you are. Thanks for the great content.
Well I have a kid and a full day job. In the last 4 months I have done 1 hour of work each day in the morning. Then have Saturday for family and meal prep for the week and Sunday is work on my project day. I will have beta in a month. So yes, learning that you sometimes have to wait is a must have. What helped me realize that that is how it is supposed to be is the fact that all projects in my company big or small have teams of three or 4 people and are ready after a year. Me alone should take me at minimum the same time.
It's such a sneaky thing, without hard boundaries, one evening out becomes a half productive next day. You try to justify deviating from your mission with all your "hard work" and slip into the abyss of mediocrity. I needed this reminder, thank you, Alex!

Thank you for this video.!!! I’m doing ok for now but I know I should be doing more and I’m going to start shifting my time. Less time with entertainment and distraction and more time with goal oriented work!!!! 2024 is our year guys!!!!!!!😤💪🏾💯🏆🔥
This is pure motivation! Hormozination this is our move we should not neglect! 💪 Thank you Alex for changing my life now and probably forever in the future!
I honestly thought you had typed 'Harmozination' ... strange how just two letters make a difference :D
@@nickb193 sorry autocorrect changed it :/ my bad
This was so dense it felt like an hour of RUclips shorts - going to have to rewatch a bunch! Also crazy that this abundance of quality information can be found for free 🤯
This video has more focus on the vocals. I think the audio is better!
Alex, you are an inspiration. Thank you for uploading this!
I made my first actually profitable business thanks to this stuff - it's been such a wild year. Thank you!
The fact that you did that for charity before profit is pretty amazing. I feel like we got a glimpse into your teddy bear heart. 👏🏽👏🏽😉
Alex I love you man. You showed me how much better I can be by being so damn good. It’s a life changing lesson. Thank you. Cheers!
I can't lie I was dead tired yesterday and listened to this video to get myself pumped as I drove to the gym 😂
all quotes were really valuable , Curious, I intend retiring/working much less in 5 years and keen to know best, how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments? I earn up to $180K per year, but nothing to show for it yet
for someone who needs some catch-up, consider the 80/20 model. Needs and wants / Investments
There are a lot of people like this. Im 52 and just getting serious about retirement. Its sad because the time to get serious was 20 years ago or even younger.
For me, I'm quite lucky exposed to financial planning at early age, started work at 21 and invested to my 401k through my employer, going forward I purchased first home at 33, unfortunately got laid-off afterwards, amid 2020 covid-outbreak. At once, I hired an advisor to help stay afloat, and as of today, I'm only 25% short of achieving my 7-figure ballpark goal after subsequents investments.
bravo, this is striking! mind sharing info of the advisor guiding you pleas? i'm in dire need of growing my reserve
My advisor is Laura Grace Abels, a renowned figure in portfolio diversity. I recommend researching her further on the web, she's well established with over two decades of experience in her line of work.
Your videos have been life-changing man. I'm serious. I watched at least 20-30 of your videos and it's just awesome that many of the tips you give out you can immediately start applying and seeing a major difference, like with job interviews, etc.
most men have no fathers so these guys on RUclips serve the purpose
Thank you! Really needed this. I felt so lost and overwhelmed for the last couple of months. Like I don't even know what I want to do anymore at this point.
I just turned 21 years old and I have a business I’m working on, but I’m re-evaluating my business plan and budget right now, but I’m working in law enforcement right now, and want to grow my youtube channel, but I love the idea of how hard entrepreneurship is because I think a lot of these wannabe entrepreneurs want to the work less, not work hard scheme which is bull**** because entrepreneurship is fu**ing hard! There is that book “The hard things about hard things.” That book sums up how hard business is, but in my late 20’s I’m hoping I’m a full on entrepreneur, it just sounds so exciting to me regardless of how difficult it is.
I worked on a video game for 4 years. Its called "Dwerve" and just came out on Switch. Im a game dev and teach pixel art.
if it makes you better then no effort is wasted...man I think thats the shit I needed to hear, I'd been feeling pretty shitty this week after betting on myself, countless hours of research various sleepless nights and 48 hour work sessions, and still my business attempts falling flat on their face, for years I usually got right back up and tried to make a bigger better attempt but this time nothing was giving me hope like something inside me just broke, but this line lit up a little spark, I wish everyone success in their pursuit stay strong 💪
This is pretty solid advice. I would suggest finding more details after watching this but everything he’s says is pretty true.
When I first stumbled about Alex with his glitchy camera and hearing what he had to say, I knew this guy was different from everyone. Alex is my go to guy for knowledge (even when I do not agree with everything), and I look at him like an older cousin I never met. I know I will reach my version of success with his help. Thank you Alex
Thanks Alex. Truly one of the few that tells all. My favorite creator on the platform. Thank You.
my favorite segment: 2:00 to 4:44
The problem for me is I'm not in any pain. Life is actually really good and comfortable right now.
I really want to build my business as I know it can change so many lives and revolutionise "work" and "employees" as a whole.
I struggle getting myself to do the work though. To show up.
I earn 4k-8k per month at the moment and work less than 2 hours per day. This is the freedom my younger self wished for. I traveled all of last year across Asia (japan, korea, taiwan, thailand, vietnam, bali etc.)
I feel like without the pain it is actually harder to show up and do the work. I'm not running away from anything and because of the comfort of my current situation it becomes infinitely more difficult to take action into the unknown.
This is should be the first video for all entrepreneurs when they start 🔥

Alex, thank you. You’re the realest & most practical voice on business today hands down. Whenever I start talking to others about business, I’m given these “feel good” speeches about the universe and laws of attraction but never about working harder and putting in more effort. Super appreciative for this video; feel like I have the freedom now to continue focusing on putting in the work even when I feel terrible and uncertain and borderline depressed or any other feeling.
This 💩 is just straight ⛽️ fr fr like everything anyone has ever said this sums it all up and cuts the 🐂💩 🤯 we needed this energy
I watch these type of videos all day everyday to learn something new or remind myself what I have to do. This video is perfect and all real shit. Give thanks for the knowledge bro 🙌🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
I remember this Seat advert I saw like 10 years ago and it said: "you dont stop because you get older, you get older because you stop"
This is one of my favorite videos! Thank you, Alex!… Love the “pot” example…
Whatever this man says is wisdom
Just spewing insanely valuable lessons back to back so fast I keep having to pause, think, and rewatch.
The way you've shared your journey and the lessons you've learned is incredibly relatable and motivating.
The emphasis on the importance of hard work, patience, and strategic planning really resonated with me.
I'm curious, during those moments when you felt like giving up, what kept you going?
Also, how do you balance the need for hard work with the importance of rest and self-care?
His content is good for himself, but its not the general truth. So many people got rich just for doing dumb shit on tik tok or whatever. Hard work leads basically many people to nothing.
Dude, you're literally like a machine gun of precious life knowledge. Your videos are so dense with useful, transformative information. Thank you for publishing it in such an accessible and engaging format! 🙌
You're absolutely right. Tell this to my plants!!!
A solid plan and competing to be the very best will put you at the top!
Outstanding insights and advice. Thank you!
So much value here. I’m going to have to watch this a few more times
Boy, this was so much. It was exhausting, hurtful, enlightening, eye opening and a kick in the butt. Loved it. Thank you AGAIN, as usual.
Just pure value with every video. I am Eternally grateful for everything that Alex does. I cannot put a price on how much it has helped in my business life. Thanks again

That comment where family starts asking if you made money yet 2 weeks in made me laugh bc it's so accurate! I am almost 3 month in in content creation and I when I got my first gifted collab my mom was like, but that doesn't pay the bills. No shit, do you think brands just throw money at a new influencer who hasn't done a single collab yet? This will get so big over time and it will be so worth it.
I'm thankful I get to minimalize my costs because of family and my fiancé, so I can go a few months, maybe even a year without earning much. This puts me at a massive advantage and I'm able to delay my reward
It’s always astonishing to be how as an individual that pursues the better part of himself can forget the tools that help shape him. I’ll listen to this driving down the road and I haven’t listened to you in a couple of months not for any reason I was just on another mission and I reposted thisto my Facebook page which has 10,000 followers as something greater than I could ever say. Than I could ever offer I needed this thank you.
He is the bro whisperer. All bro all the time.
"You don't need a weekend, you need work you don't need a weekend from". Love it 🔥😊
i believe this is the best video for any guy whos in his 20s i have watched most of your videos and all of em are good but this one is so jam packed with all the relevant info thats insane
The best free yet invaluable stuff - You are awesome. Keep it up!
I realized that we only need weekends from the dead end 9-5, I work 7 days a week on my stuff because it's required in order to be successful for my brand.

Man, so much value in one video, LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR.
Man. As someone going through exactly what you described throughout this video, I really appreciate this man. Feeling energized this AM!!!
The anxiety felt from too many options hit Home. I made a decision, made 10 sales calls and made 3 shorts for content and felt 1000% better. Thank you 🙏 Alex
Alex is genius and legend!

That's true. I got my son to youngest black belt in his style without having done a day of karate. Soon I became "coach", same with my daughter, she got headhunted by an international modelling angency within a week of creating her instagram account, two examples. One day I realized I'mhelping everyone except myself, thats when I decided to start working on me.
Sometimes you just need to hear people that have done what you are currently doing, to understand how you feel and the stage you are.
Thanks for the great content.
He speaks such a concentrated amount of experience in such a short time. Impressive.
"I am the output of my work"
Hits hard.
" i am the outcome of my work " is the biggest takeaway that i am going to start applying to my life !
Well I have a kid and a full day job. In the last 4 months I have done 1 hour of work each day in the morning. Then have Saturday for family and meal prep for the week and Sunday is work on my project day. I will have beta in a month. So yes, learning that you sometimes have to wait is a must have. What helped me realize that that is how it is supposed to be is the fact that all projects in my company big or small have teams of three or 4 people and are ready after a year. Me alone should take me at minimum the same time.
It's such a sneaky thing, without hard boundaries, one evening out becomes a half productive next day. You try to justify deviating from your mission with all your "hard work" and slip into the abyss of mediocrity. I needed this reminder, thank you, Alex!
You need to make smart moves which is more important than work. Work comes after making smart moves.
I need to listen to this at least 3 times to process all the good stuff he gave
Alex is changing my life fr
This is so encouraging cause I thought that constant uncertainty just meant I was doing things wrong, thank you lad
