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.
Thank you for the video. I'm so sick of being broke that I want to scream. And it's because of my bad decisions so I can't blame anyone else either. It's most definitely my fault.
But yet you’re still watching RUclips and not doing anything
@@JensN113Fax lol
Just get do something about it
@@JensN113I prioritize watching Alex's videos because they are so useful.
Accountability is the first step to being a good accountant in your life
Jim Rohn used to say that success comes when you work harder on yourself than you do on your day job. And he wasn’t exaggerating.
The GOAT
wish he was still around to drop more gems
Jim Rohn one of the best guys to explain personal development in a super easy way. Unless you change how you are, you will always get what you got.
Bro that's like my mantra after listening to Jim rohn

Alex's multimedia team: These raw videos are amazing. There is no need to edit them, having flashy titles and animations that take days or weeks to implement. You have the fortune of having a person that has so much value to give, that I believe people will watch it no matter what. Having a raw video is my preferred format from Alex, because he looks more transparent and real than ever, I can deeply connect with his life story and his teachings. You're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Agreed!
He shows how everything works. This video is also to show he can be sensitive - that is how you reach your target audience. Then measure how many new followers you gained and check views metrics. Each video has its purpose no matter the format. Guys, its the GAME, didn't he teach you anything yet?
@@johnnyfinance im not acting. I am just curious how people see his videos. If it touches your feelings thats great but why its not okay to look at it from other point?

Soft white underbelly type shit.
What value did you extract from this? Give me an example.
"I can be right or I can be rich". Greatest line of the decade if not more. Thank you Alex for everything dude.
I missed my 30's and 40's to my willingness to stay in a bad relationship. To accept less than I deserved.
But no longer!
I'm creating my 50's intuitively with passion , knowledge and love. ❤

"Where you cast blame to, is where you also cast power to."
Build a massive action plan > Cast blame. What do you think?
Very well said. When we refuse to blame ourselves we also refuse to take the actions necessary for change because we think the one we are blaming needs to make the changes.
@@coptimalhaha good thinking. think of what drains energy from you and remove it. be realistic with where you are and realize you can change your story. set your intention on building your system.
Remember to care about your own opinion and to take care of others.
This is the most important point to take home. The day I stopped voting and blaming politicians for my life is the day i slowly started becoming rich.
I cast blame, thus power, unto me. Then I rise
"Brutally Honest" is why Hormozi's content is in a league of its own. Thank you Alex for something real.

Oh my word. This is the most deep and profound video from Alex I have ever watched. The way he explains the damage caused by procrastination, is ingenious. The way he says to take responsibility, is so real.
How you have not been on Rogan yet is completely beyond me.
Why so more ignorant people like you listen to this guys nonsense. Go waste your time on what the elites literally create out of thin air, then they loan you 'money' on interest and you work 30 years of your life to pay back what they created out of thin air. You still don't understand that you're a slave and this guy is teaching you to be a slave. And you all think he is doing you a service. Good help us humanity is beyond lost
He do hasn’t made enough bear references to qualify
He’s a successful and somewhat interesting guy but nowhere near interesting enough to be on Rogan

If you're willing to spend 8 hours per day working on someone else's dream-you can afford to spend 1 working on your own.

@@dooby1445 - This depends upon the dreams you are having. Right?
But how else do you make the money you need to save? Mowing people's grass? Doing a lemonade stand? Godda start somewhere man. You have to sacrifice personal time outside of the day job.

The foundational step you talk about is what I've seen so many times with people I used to work with at my warehouse job. They always go out of their way to blame others for how their lives are turning out. I saw the same thing in my dad. When he was sick of working a job he would start a fight with the rowdiest coworker and get fired so he could come home and tell my mom that it was out of his control. And now as I am an adult, I just realized that I am falling into that same trap. That as shit falls apart around me, I try to use that as fuel to not have to take responsibility that I am getting older and my situation isn't changing for the better. Thank you for putting out this video, Alex. This shit is something I really needed to hear.
Good for you for admitting that.. good luck
Holy shit. I'm there right now. Struggling business, six kids, 41yo. All I can think about is working harder. All I can think about is working longer. People don't seek me out anymore because I've become my work. I had a heart attack this year. I was laying on the table watching the tools clear my heart and all I could think about was how free I would be if the surgeon just slipped even a milimeter.
Title should be more like: *Brutally AWESOME advice for ANY people* -Don't give others or circumstances power over you. Sooo many people could have a better path ahead by watching and using this advice. Thanks for the value and inspiring Alex!

Money is not everything and won't solve your mental problems, but when you have none of it, it can be one of the biggest forms of stress
I’m 21 years old with 5,000+ of credit debt and bills shooting through the roof, I am so fed up with the feeling of being drowned and broke that I wanna just punch a hole through my wall but I take responsibility for myself and everyday I seek new ways to make money on the side while working a full time job at the airport. To anybody whose in the same situation or similar don’t give up keep fighting and working hard and use any blessings you already have to help you. Thanks for the video i needed to hear a lot of that ❤
Hey man, when I was your age I focused on getting rid of my consumer debt and it was the best decision I ever made. Once I was able to start saving everything instead of giving a chunk of my paychecks to the bank every month, my life exponentially grew.
Luckily my debt was a car loan so selling my car was the fastest way out. I went from a 2016 $18k Subaru Crosstrek to a 24 year old $4000 Toyota paid in cash. Since then it’s been smooth sailing. I believe in you bro 👍
20YO
BROKE
NO SKILLS
NO KNOWLDGE
NO DEGREE
I paid off 7k in debt in half a year and saved up 13k in another half a year after that. My cleaning business I started 5 years ago is now at a place where I can finally pull Profit, and am currently in the works to purchase my day job restaurant by the end of the year. Keep grinding bro. Buckle down and don't waste time or money and things will always get better!
@@Dailyfiver5 bucks says you're also a Dave Ramsey fan lol
@@ItsMrLee I am lol. It’s the only reason I’m so comfortable in life now honestly. I don’t agree with all of his views, but owning everything (except my mortgage) has substantially increased my stability.
Thank you for you honesty. I was in that position going thru school and living in trailer parks thinking I would never get out of that situation. Being careful about how much I ate, often just going to bed hungry. Not wanting to, or even caring if I woke up the next day. I actually used to beg God to not let me wake up. I've felt that exact same sentiment so many times and you have no idea how much it means hearing that from someone as successful as you are.
“Increase your own approval of yourself”. Love it!!
ooofff, he sniping everyone
and decrease how other people's opinions of you matter
I was being suicidal for the past few weeks, because I've tried and been trying since I was 17 yo now I'm 24 and still broke. Im still coping with it.
So thank you ... and hope for anyone else to get better too.
bro u got time
It may not feel like it but this is a blip in time and you will come out of it. I know it sucks to be broke and you are feeling the overwhelm of not having it but money is only one aspect of this game of life and financial struggle is creating a space of contrast and clarification of what you want. It's also giving you the impetus to find your talents. Hang in there
I know you may feel like youre behind, I did when I was your age but I promise you your 20s is when you have the most energy you will ever have to make your dreams come true. I was 200k in debt and wanted to be a film director so I was an assistant making $10/hr (couldn't pay my student loans so went into BAD debt) and then on weekends I would find bands that wanted music videos and I would find someone with a camera and I would shoot no budget videos. I would produce and edit them on my free time on the weekends but it worked. I was able to make directing my career but it took time and I wish I could go to my 20 year old self an make her push even harder to become better at my craft earlier. Also your 20s are for exploring allllll the things you want to try out. you can be wikd and crazy and try 50 different things and no one will bat an eyelash, but that slowly wears as you get older. Enjoy your 20s, your doing GREAT, your going to get better and stronger every year as you level up just stay consistent. Sending love!
Brother, I'm 26.. Broke, You have time because I know I have time too
@user-lp7rp7cb4g shit I'm broke to and I'm 26😂
So true about the first $100,000 being the hardest.
Once you get there it’s crazy easy to double, triple & beyond.

Tons of respect for this video, we need more creators being authentic on camera. I used to be so broke that even homeless people would feel bad for me, so I can really feel the emotions behind talking about it. I fought and clawed myself to a point where I get $1,000,000 funding for my business ideas, but the topic of being broke still gets to me. You never want to go back.

Hey Alex ✌ thank you for posting these contents oftenly. I everyday open youtube and looking for your new videos 😄. I came US 7 years ago after going through war, chaos, poverty back in my country as a last hope of my entire family with 0 money. And I didn't started everything from zero but way below the zero without knowing english or anybody here. Had no choice, 7 hopeless family members back home but big dream and will. Last 7 years went though the hell for them working all the hard sh*tty jobs not most men would do. I adapted environment in US by educating myself learning everyday smth to achieve my goals. With no money I tried many businesses from scratch and failed most of them. Maybe couldnt save big money but saved my whole family from tragedy and gained tons of knowledges, life experience. Now I m still building, learning, fighting everyday for the PURPOSE. Long story short I think in this beautiful country all you need purpose and little bit english to achieve everything 🫡 Please keep making these videos it helps me type of the people a lot 🙌
I assure you your day will come based on every life skill that you have acquired so far. All the best

Thank you so much for this video, Alex. I’m tired of hearing how I should be able to ‘accomplish this in 1 month’ because somebody got lucky and did it. It’s encouraging to hear the struggle that preceded your success. Every day I put my nose down to work on my side hustles, then I go to work, I make food, sleep, repeat. I feel like I’m going nowhere and I’m sacrificing all the things people my age are ‘supposed to be’ doing so I have a hope for my family not being broke forever. I appreciate your realness.
loool bro im 23 too and i started my business last year too. “ i didnt know shit about fuckkk”
🙏💯
Alex would actually be a better modern day philosopher than most today if he decided to write on the topic. He would be up there with Robert Greene, or Cal Newport who have made a living from this path.
You go girl! and fuck the nay-sayers. People who got successful overnight usually were grinding in the dark for 10 years before.

Taking responsibility for your circumstances is key to making progress and moving forward. I particularly liked how you highlighted the importance of leveraging current resources instead of waiting for perfect conditions, providing me with a practical and actionable strategy to start making changes. I appreciated the practical approach of using existing resources rather than waiting for the perfect moment, offering a clear path towards progress!

Honestly the father figure everyone needed as a child.
Found your channel yesterday with the 13 years of advice in 90 minutes and Im so grateful for you and these videos. You made me realize areas I was stuck that I believed were just apart of the process, I made some ish way harder than it needed to be but thats the price of learning!
Thank you! I gain so much from listening to you and Leila. It is significantly easier to push through this time with y'all to learn from ❤
You literally just blew my mind. I quit bc I want to be right that I cant do. Bc then theres no risk in me hurting my ego when I feel like thats already been stripped. Thank you ❤
I’ve heard that no more excuses speech a million times from a million people, but hearing it t from Alex just hit different. I never really had much in the way of excuses, but you’re gd right buddy!
I believe in ya. I believe in what you’re saying, and it’s hightime I start doing right in my own life. Here I come man, I’m gonna do it. See you at the top!
The growth mindset is everything. Taking accountability with step #1 is one of the most important thing anyone can do for personal growth. If you decide that it IS your fault, then changes you take CAN have the power to fix your life and circumstances. One step at a time.
Thanks a lot for your sincerity! I want to advice you a book of Artur Grandi “Grand Time”, coz it’s conveys a completely different view of making money, that we have during ages! This guy from Silicon Valley created his unique formula of healing world’s financial system and I’m sure that our future should be ruled by such a genius venture projects, which would bring us to a very happy life without slavery skills!
Love how I am able to get different take aways from this each time I listen and reminders for the things I got in the previous times I listened.
I was victimized yet I'm not a victim. My greatest strength is knowing I have a choice. There are many misunderstanding in the "woo woo" movements.. I personally don't strive to get rid of any emotions it's about allowing for that emotion to be validated and accepted and exist along the journey of growth and expansion.. owning all. Contrast is the tool for self correcting.. I embody the energy of the butterfly and a Phoenix ..it's my Ying and Yang that allows for balance. 🦋 ✨️ 🐲
Great video, i get choked up also when i make videos from time to time
I'm not fully done with the video yet, but I already felt a bond and loved the honesty. These types of videos give more hope than any other, IMO. Thank you 🤝

Man this is so good. I respect and admire you so much, but it was taken to another level when you got as emotional as you did at the 7 minute mark.

Alex, I have four children between 28 and 35 years old. I have three grandchildren between 5 and almost 14 years old. What you genuinely just shared is an education beyond anything a parent could pay for outside The Bible. God bless you. I will be sharing this and I will keep Alex Hormozi in my daily prayers. I am grateful for you, all you endured, and your choice, time, and vulnerability toward humanity to share.
Alex has changed my life. Thank you so much.
This was probably THE best video I’ve ever watched. Sharing with all my friends. Thank you!

Brought me to tears cause I was struggling with family BS and been stuck for a long time. This really hit me. Thank you Alex.
Thank you. As many of the viewers in this comment section, I'm fed up with being broke and living in a victim framework.
I can give an example. Blamed/accepted that Bipolar was indeed real and I needed to take action. I had no control over my genetics, but I can control how I react to that situation. Until I placed part of the blame for my failures on the cause that I couldn't control, I didn't know how to take control.
Thank you so much!! For being so real and brutally honest at the same time. .. I love that you always give examples. Thank you for doing that.
I could see the tears in his eyes throughout the video but he still kept going and it takes a lot to do that , keep inspiring people man.
True vulnerability and honesty will alway reign above most YT advice videos promising cookie cutter recipes.
I really was captured by this episode, and I saw myself in the pain I’ve endured while not making *any* money and relying on others to survive for mere basics. This episode was a breath of fresh air i needed, to become more real with myself than I have been lately.
Thank you dear Alex ❤
I’m going to step up my game. My life fkn needs me to. ⏳⌛️
Thank you Alex for all of your content. You truly help so many, and I hope everyone that listens will find their potential.
I am a huge fan of Alex and Leila... But this video is the most heartfelt and impactful. To someone who is in the midst of trying to figure life out... To someone that is that 20 something Alex... This hits. Choked up just listening to this story and understanding the depths of pain.
That's a great intro. Let's watch this five times over to really engrave it. Stay true, Alex, and thanks for the continued inspiration.

@@adnanazmi. Thank you for the advice, but it was more a hint at how repeat watches always lead to more information gained. The same way you can read the same book multiple times and have different things you take away each time 👊🏼
It’s truly unbelievable how much you have my actions down to a ‘T’. The only thing I can say that I don’t do these days is put the blame on anybody else or circumstance. I know I’m in the position I’m at is 100% on me(my fault). I know what my rut is and the things I need to change, but I just don’t. I’ve tried to start putting ultimatums or absolute deadlines now and things I do are moving forward, like I block out the depression and actually get off my couch, but still at a snails pace. I just keep telling myself, if I don’t make drastic changes I won’t have too many days left. Today’s my 46th birthday, I pray I make it to 50😢. Thanks for everything you do man!! I owe you everything when I overcome, and hope to one day meet you in person and shake your hand Alex.
This video is very raw and real and I fucking love it and I needed this today. Thank you.
This is so true and yet empty, there are a ton of people doing the wrong sacrifices, learning what not to do and yet that does not create a clear path. Yes the only way to succeed is a painful way, but yet pain is not enough.
This was amazing! "Today is tomorrow", was really powerful. It reminded me of the first time I heard the question, "Are you listening, or waiting for your turn to talk?" I needed to hear this, thank you!
Today is not tomorrow though is it. You will agree on any nonsense, such boot-licking.
I have watched this 4 times now! I just… YES!!! ❤🔥
What a gem of vídeo is this one. I am listening for the second time. Tears, lots of realization, getting brutally honest with myself. Deeply graceful for this video.
I agree with Alex that Motivational Books & Positive Self Help Videos no longer work for me. The reason I enjoy watching these videos is because Alex can break business and growth down in simple language with practical steps that are calculable and proven to get results!
It is rare to get to hear authentic experiences from guys who made it. Great sharing. Impressive personal transformation over time. Very interesting. And the pragmatic perspectives are pure gold. Thank you!
Alex's "I only had 1 goal, dont be broke" line helped changed my life. It simplified my life into 1 goal and motivates me to climb.

I'm from Baltimore too, I didn't even know that about you. I feel more connected immediately! I hear you about the Ravens and Orioles. Dude I'm crying over here!! 😭 ❤❤❤ Thank you for your honesty!
I don't think I've EVER CRIED over a youtube video of this genre... You REALLY STRUCK A CHORD within me 🙏🏼 A lot of what you said was a much needed "slap" 😢 THANK YOU, ALEX ❤
I love the raw honesty of this video. Right to the core. Thank you for being so real about success and how to face your own inner shit in order to win at life and business.
I wish I understood what it is about you that makes you so easy to listen & relate to....
You have helped me so much & I hate saying that without knowing why.
"Making offers so good people can't say No." Is the only thing I constantly remind myself of when doing anything..... yet that 1 single thing took me from $100 per day to over $1000 per day.

we appreciate you man. Thank you for the inspiration.
So raw and informative. Thank you for your time and knowledge Alex . Love it mate
"Whatever you cast blame to is where you also cast power to"...... felt that one
The saddest thing about talking to future self instead of a guy like you, is that how good of an advice it is. I won't be able to make you proud for all the good you did. Anything i do henceforth has your input in it. I hope i'll have something to show for it in the time i remember about it.

I so appreciate you for this. I have my business right now and I’m learning so much from you. I have been binge watching your videos and like I said thank you and I appreciate your vulnerability and I will promise will do the same helping people when I reach my success.
Alex love the vulnerability, passion and how much you care. You’re a fucking legend and have been a true inspiration to us all. Stay blessed my man
I’m starting my first business and I’ve had a rough week. It almost like he’s speaking directly to me. Thank you Alex, you and your wife are just spectacular.
I would love to know the number of people who are poor that have watched a video like this, from Alex or anyone, and turned their life around. You just never know where you'll find the inspiration from that can change everything.
I like him, but to be honest the real reason I became a millionaire was tony Robbins. Tony robbins kept saying success leaves clues, and than inspired me to understand that the products that made money are there for the whole world to see because they have a lot of reviews. I still listen to alex though but only because I'm looking for the next level in my business.

Brutally honest truth? Very few. Hard work is easy, wasting your life chasing the big dream is easy, unfortunately no amount of work and luck beats math.
I had an interesting very specific moment today as I was getting a painful procedure done with the hopes of being able to walk pain free in the next few weeks. I realized I really didn’t want to go through with it for a moment, but someone else was already about to start working on me. I realized I needed to be willing to do the things I don’t like to move forward and eliminate future pain.
This man gives A LOT of his time to help other people. Respect 🙌🏼

The way to get rich is to take (not steal) other people's money...so SIMPLE yet absolutely PRICELESS 🙌
You're an OG my guy, thanks for what you do.

I never really comments under stuff but this spoke to my soul in a way a lot of the spirituality videos just don’t. I believe in them, but the sheer ownership and realising I am giving power away to people who may or may not even still be physically present because I’m still blaming them is profound. this is a gold mine here
Great timing with this video, brother. Needed to listen to this today! Appreciate your work and can't wait to listen.

My business failed, and it's my fault. I invested 5 years of my life into it and it failed because of my poor management. Keeps me up at night because I sacrificed a lot. It's completely my fault and I take accountability. So I need to win on a scale so great it surpasses the level of pain I've experienced.
ngl.. Alex im 18 right now and I'm feeling that exact pain deep down in my soul. i feel like I'm not doing enough to accomplish my goals and i want to be extremely great in life but i don't know what to do. in a heart beat i sacrificed parties, friends etc. but i felt like it would take me away from my goal.. but the sad thing is i don't even know what my goal is. idc how i get there i just want to be Fuckign great in the world at a young age no matter what it takes.
This might sound crazy but this is exactly me, EXACTLY down to the age. Also 18
Bro start your personal brand
Just start doing hard shit, as Goggins would put it "uncommon among uncommon people". We must start from the bottom. If your friends aren't saying " why would you do that to yourself!?"
"That's so hard I could never". " why would you get up so early to gym! It's a waste of time"
Just them projecting the insecurity inside themselves. Don't be like them
Reverse engineer what does your dream life look like? From 18 to 28 the answer to that is probably going to change every year, but do it anyway.
Then work backwards to see what actions you’d have to do to have that dream life.
Then read $100M offers, $100M leads, and listen to Hormozi’s longer format sales videos(if your dream life entails you being a business owner and making a lot of money)
You have to admit you don't know shit. You're 18. Go get skills. Even if you're a plumber or water restoration guy, get the school, save up living at home.. start your own gig.. I know a guy who did this blue collar type stuff at 19 and now he has over 13 employees and is a multi millionaire at 26.
