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.
"Ancient wealth cipher" is the book that changed me, and helped me understand how the world works. It has some valuable wealth and life advices, and it taught me to be my best self. I highly recommend it!
from where i can get free pdf plz anybody tell me. i cannot afford books or they are also not available in my country
@@malangbaba7553 There's none that I'm aware off
I can't find anything from that title. The only thing that pops up is "The Money Code"
@@Gx22 I found it thru a RUclips video that's called exactly like the book "ancient wealth cipher", so try it that way
@@Feri-kb3ib Who’s the writer? Can’t find it by the name you mentioned
How to Win Friends and Influence People literally changed my life and is an annual read for me.
God tier book
I was fortunate enough to graduate the Dale Carnegie course many years ago. I still remember and practice what I learned every day.
@@JohnTurner313 Same here!!! I was very fortunate that a business owner I worked for sent me to their sales classes. As an 18 year old that was probably one of the most influential things I got to do!!!
Just got this book a few weeks ago. I haven't read it yet because im reading anothet book, but I'm glad to see people are saying it's good!
I’m purchasing it now just from hearing nothing but amazing things from it! Very excited!

Extreme Ownership - Jocko Willink
How to win friends and influence - Dale Carnegie
Influence - Cialdini
100% agree loved seeing how he taught young men how to become great and to achieve success through listening and coming together, great read
Having a general knowledge but REALLY focusing in on a few things is the best way to go
Who is this guy?
@@jeffbell9391 Yeah who is this guy??
@@jeffbell9391 Yeah who is this guy??
Many company's focus on a few products and make $$$. Become an expert at what you're good at.
@@NeilDavidAdams Jeff Bellzos, he wrote one of the books.
I was a supervisor at the great Walmart ..I asked my store manager what I needed to do to move up in the company....he said learn as much as you can and the next day he gave me his copy of how to win friends and influence people and said this book will help you immensely
did it help ?:)
What did u do with it though?
@@yestrech the book is very helpful ....I got mental issues so never used it to its fullest but a normal person could rule the world
I have it but haven't read it😂 probably should since everyone talks about it
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this go to borlest and read the forbidden money books, then come back and thank me
Best advice ❤ Which books do you recommend? I read one, it was great.
Thank you
It's a scam
This is a serious serious list. Thank you for this!
I love that he started with not one, but three books by Cialdini. Influence is more brilliant than you can even imagine. It will change your life.
Every book on this list that I’ve read is straight 🔥🔥 and the rest just got added to read (or re read) soon bc at this point there’s very few people whose recommendations I take more seriously than yours. Keep crushing it. I and so many others appreciate you way more than you’ll ever know.
I love your books,they are best in my opinion-"100 Million dollar offers" and "100 million dollar leads"!
Dueled noted sir. I will be listen to all the audiobooks RUclips offers to research the gems of information. I appreciate you what you do very much. Thank you for these recommendations on these great authors. Education is elevation. See you at the Top.
did you finish them
Bro thanks for dropping this I've been wondering what books you read for a minute.
Thank You so much! I have been trying to build a book list and this was super helpful!
As someone who’s read most of these books (or listened to them as Audiobooks) we seldom need the info inside them. What most of us need is initiative, focus, and severe intensity!
Yeah true. I read a couple of related books but ultimately my mind wasn't really ready for it. It took many years and multiple mindset shifts to really appreciate these books in regards to my situation
Bro I see you everywhere
WOOO!!! Thank you!! I LOVE buying new books! Skimming through and finding those gems and getting lost in a few
Congratulations! You must be so proud of your new book.
Think and Grow Rich is by far the greatest book for me! It speaks directly to my soul!
Does it give tips on how u can go rich or it teaches u methods too?
@@bhargavkalita9394it gives you the mindset to being rich and motivates you to achieve your goals. It’s the first book to read if you’re going to be an entrepreneur, then you’ll be motivated to read more business books
It teaches both mindset as well as tips to manage money@@bhargavkalita9394
That is amazing! Your books are really good. Excited to try these recommendations.
Thanks Kid!
There are many good books, it depend which topic you want to stik in.
Feel like Im on track. I own 4 out of the 13. 💪🏽
I had 12 credits in audible ive been waiting to burn, thanks.
I listened to this list a few months ago and read how to win friends and influence people 10 times and it changed my life and then I thought just now “what should I read I’m bored” and remembered where I found that book and realized Alex dropped 12 more than it on my head🤩 I can’t wait for what I have in store to learn I’m about to buy and read all 12
Thank you for sharing.
Im gonna take a wild guess and say he likes Robert Cialdini books
Got them all! Thanks Alex
Many thanks! Blessings to you!
Finnally a useful video !
tysm!
GUYS! take notes...
How to Win Friends and Influence people is a legimate good book. One that I would easily recommend to anyone. Great it made the list.
This is literal gold
100%!!g
nah its a plug for the book he wrote. And all the books are to do with persuasion. kinda funny tbh
@@cully7927 Bro he sells his book for 1$ what are you on about
Is it? Is it literally gold? Lol
You apparently don’t know what the word “literal” means.
Thank you very much for this video. From yours truly Cinnamon May.
I need to read them all for sure
Oooh. I didn’t know you already released your book. I just got it on audible.
I bought all. Now im waiting for them. Thx❤
Great books
Dude!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing that
Goldmine thank you!
THANK YOU!!!
Only have 2 of those. Gonna have some beach reading to do!
#1 about psychology is one of my favorites!
Win Without Pitching. By Blair Enns. Solid. Gold.
Thanks Alex. 👍👍👍
Wow I can wait to read em
Thank you!
bro you look like Rocking star YASH
Now $100M Offers is in my reading list, I read one page and I already like it.
I hopr so u complete ur book yet .how was ur rgoughts on this book is it good
@@malangbaba7553 yes it is (i was honestly skeptical at first). and in fact we as readers have to revisit it multiple times since it has a lot of similar. it's better if you get the physical book since it has the formulas - it's easier to read/learn
📚13 awesome books 📚. Ty💕
Robert Cialdini just teeming with wisdom and information.
I just finished both your 100M Offers and 100M Leads in the last three weeks. We saw a 47.3% increase MOM.
Walk in the morning while listening, come home and implement in our sales funnels.
Really appreciate your work Alex!
McKay: crowds of madness is the book to read 👌 150+ years old and still applies today
I will be getting all those books
Good stuff, Alex.
Anyone else just get their Xmas list?
Me haha
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much
You the david goggins of business my guy 💪
Love all of these book recommendations!
Thanks Alex! You are really helping my sucessjourney with your content
Golden thank you
Using the ol 'rust it in half' method.
Also a really good one that I revisit from time to time is Harold and The Purple Crayon. Great read!
This guy passed the name 10 books question
Thank you
That’s awesome. I am officially monetized on RUclips with 2.5K subs. How do I grow it I’m even more to eventually quit my job.
I screen shoot every book and will be studying each.
Nice shirt Alex
Love it
How do you make time to read??
Reach dad and poor dadurch is one of the best
Why does this feel like another Dan Lok type of thing in the making xD
yeeeaaaah def not a scam LMFAOO
hehe, and what about the almanack by charlie ;)
Borlest contains all the secrets of forbidden money books; they changed my life
Was waiting for a final Cialdini book to bookend the list
Which books do you recommend for a stronger mental fortitude? The 50th Law by Robert Greene is interesting.
Yess, def recommend that
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
Interesting book list
Anyone else just order 13 books?? 🤣
I have the first 3
@Faulty Juice True. I like having paper books though 🤷🏼♂️ I’m a boomer I guess
Paper is better than reading online, it's like going to the gym instead of "being able to do it at home" it makes you accountable and allows you to focus on this one task without distraction
Yessah!
Lol not stealing crappy digital versions of books is a waste of money 🤷🏼♂️
Leaving this here so I can come back
Mj demarco's- Millionaire Fastlane is the best book anyone can read for business.
I have never screenshoted so fast in my life
Awesome!
It's quite shocking how few people know about the forbidden books on Borlest
My goal is to read them all this year
Sales genius now his book is portrayed as one of the calibre of these other great books putting some titles that are not so greatly known so it’s not gimmicky, not saying his book isn’t valuable.Just saying his marketing is highkey genius.
Why is this guy making a comeback 🤣🤣
Save! (since I don’t think I can save RUclips shirts to rewatch and come back to later like in TikTok, if you know how to, let me know please)
Anyone got a video on studying books? I’d like to know how some people like Alex study the books they find value in
Amazing
Have you read Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco?
That is a great book, I need to reread again!
Fire book
One of the best books, but it's probably too basic for Mozi... He may have benefitted from it in his early days.
@@louvoodoo Do the audiobook this time. It's in MJ's voice.
@@Baqsam absolutely, but I have like 10 other new books that I want to read first.
I rate how you never put your book At the end !
How motivated can we be about motivation?? Just one more book! One more podcast!😂
Bro you look like Feid look him up. It’s a top Latin singer
Great videos
You have ‘Select’ spelled, ‘Selct’
Whether it matters to you, just a heads up
‘Selct’ does look nice in the green font
Thanks I had to replay this 30 times just to write down all these books. Atta way to get views up
The Count of Monte Cristo is pretty good too…
Brooo got the first book on me and been sleeping on it gddmnt!
