I literally feel like this video was made for me. I run a wedding photography business that does $100k per month revenue. I was tossing about starting my next business for months. but seeing this makes me realise I am just barely scratching the surface. Going to go all in and fill the holes in the bucket, do more and 10x my business Thank you so much Alex for these videos. They are changing lives
I've always had this question👆 "How do you even scale a photography buisness?" Obviously: More photo shoots & increase pricing. But you are just one man in an oversaturated market. Is it even possible to outsource? Genuine question.
I am a shop owner from India.. We have stationery businesses. We are selling about 100 items totally like pens, notebook, diary, etc. I was thinking to add more items but after watching this video I am going to reduce the number of items and add more varities in the items. I learnt that success is not about going broad, Its going deep!!
The more Alex Hormozi you watch, his advice gets even clearer and clearer. I like that Alex is finding even better and better ways to share with us the things he's been sharing for 1-2+ years. Keep tuning my friend, keep at it!

There is difference between something being complex and something being hard. A singer making a whole crowd jump in a concert is not complex to conceptualize, but is HARD to do. I have the same feeling from what you are saying, building a business isn’t complex because you already KNOW what to do. It is maybe hard because you haven’t done it or haven’t done it well enough. Big value gainz as always Mozi ♥️
@@VestigialHead Honestly, you're likely to get more out of watching this a hundred times, than watching a hundred videos... I can't count how many times I've watched it already, and while I've forgotten a ton of the content in a hundred videos I've watched... The lessons from this video is tattooed in my mind!
I know you probably won't see this. But I just wanted to reach out and let you know that your content has changed my mindset, which has changed my business, which has changed my life. I am forever grateful for your time you've put into helping people.
Really needed to hear this. Been niching down on a market and a single service. Spent years focusing on fixing all the holes in the bucket (lot more work to do), but the opportunities have been coming thick and fast and it's been really tough saying no to them, cus I wanna keep the main thing the main thing, but the shiny objects are so tempting. I've stayed the course this far, I'm gonna stay it THAT far too.
I agree to a point. Prior to covid we focused only on acupuncture. However finding qualified professionals within our budget was impossible. We closed down due to Covid. I found that adding services that people want to get vs feel they need creates more reliable income. My issue is it always comes down to lack of revenue from the core business to hire qualified staff since I am the only provider and the business owner. It is exhausting. Your advice works for many business models but not all business models unless they have capital and not just sweat equity.
I can't believe this only has 7k views! I'm just starting an online store, with the objective to turn it into a brand and do my own shipping, I've done lots of research before spending any money and from what I understand is the way to build something big is not revolutionary but rather consistently outperforming the competition. And he confirmed everything I thought, and not all that's left to do is the boring work "the stuff I know I should be doing but aren't"
its such a blessing and a curse to be a 19 year old entrepreneur at this point in life. such a blessing because we have such easily accessed wisdom like these videos. i dont know if alex really knows how much value hes providing to us youngsters.. even tho he reads the comments. its just such a blessing to have you around, sharing yourt advice and wisdom. youve paved a major path for young people. and you just keep doing it every day, better and better. i truly truly belive i will be succesful one day. aslong as i stay focused and determined on achieving my long term goals. i have to Want it bad enough. and i can feel myself getting closer to that point, even at such a young age. im a broken record here, but i really just hope alex knows how much we all apreciate him.
Age is of no concern. I am 52 and still, he is providing me with a lot of value. The world is a big place, you can not learn everything in one lifetime. In a sense, you should thank those who got the Internet to the public and the guys at Google for providing RUclips. In my youth, there was no way to get information from a guy like Alex without stalking him and hoping he would like you enough to waste his time on you.
@@edwin.jansen i deeply deeply understand and value the struggles your generation had while growing up amd becoming a successful person. In this day in age, we have so many opportunities that are unlike any we have ever seen before. Alot of it has to do with how accessible these successful peoples advice is. The sad part is that we get so used to the luxuries we have now, and dont take the time wo wake up to the FACT that its easier than its ever been to make money.
@@edwin.jansen Really the only reason I mention how he provides extreme value to young people, is because a lot of older folks don’t think open mindedly enough to realize that there are actually some bright individuals that are able to take such detailed advice so well. It’s just me pointing out the fact that, while us young people can be stubborn, we can actually find value in what Alex is teaching. So i could only imagine how valuable it is to someone whos a little bit older
2:02, 2:58 Fundamentals fundamentals fundamentals 0:28 Focus 0:00 the basics aren’t common, the average don’t do the basics/fundamentals. So doing the basics/fundamentals actually puts you above average (in results and identity: repeated actions)
I'm glad you're starting to blow up. Your knowledge and communication of thus knowledge is impeccable. I hope one day I make enough money to be able to be in your company haha
It's not 8 businesses on average that fail to find the one that works but 8 businesses that fail before you learn to fill all the holes in your bucket. Amazing video!
Alex is always on point with his opinions. We must do everything possible to break the poverty cycle because life has much more meaning than just working for someone else!
11:26 This part really hit home. I remember having a conversation with myself about a business idea (growing a personal brand that revolves around teaching English), and the thought of doing it non-stop for even a year just terrified me. I have all the qualifications, experience, and more to grow it to 6 or 7 figures, but I enjoy wearing multiple hats and doing so many different things, exploring new ideas, and breaking that monotonous lifestyle. I'll either face my reality or try to find a better alternative.
Yeah, my main business is in online teaching although my main pursuit in life is in creative writing. If I just did teaching and nothing else, frankly I'd be depressed. To some extent it's a means to an end so that I can do my other pursuits.
@@JosephOrganicAttraction you could do something around what you love. For example teaching writing online. That way you get to write what you love writing about and since you love to, you'd have a lot more knowledge about it and invariably enjoy sharing with others(teaching).
Thank you Alex. So of course, I'm one of those people who gets distracted easily and run few projects. Since I've started watching Alex, this question keeps circling in my head: "That's all true, BUT what if I chose to do all these things in a wrong business? He also mentions examples where the river you swim in needs to be big enough." But I guess the answer is: focus on one thing for certain amount of time (I'm not sure how long it should be) and check if the market is growing. The question is - Is the market to small or is it me not doing all the necessary things? Would appreciate any help on this.
Got a question: All this makes perfect sense but does it only apply to entrepreneurs? I’m a guy who works a job, 4 years into it. I’ve received several promotions and things are looking up for me at my company. I want to adopt this mentality: Focus on one things and do it well. I also desire long term sustained financial growth. The issue is financial growth within a company has a ceiling. I do like what in do though and I do it well. Should I adopt this mindset and allow my wealth to hit that ceiling? Or begin looking into how I can take this mindset and my work skills and start my own business to avoid a wealth ceiling? Thoughts would be appreciated.
This is oddly EXACTLY what I need to hear. I have been having issues focusing on my Instagram, carpentry, personal vlogs, ticktock, Facebook, craft fairs, going to collage, taking online courses. But I already know what I need to do it's just not as stimulating as doing new things.
*Fear, The Greatest Hinderance To Success* Fear is the primary reason people fail, or even don’t start something in the first place. But living your life in fear will only cause disappointment in the long run. After all, “we miss 100% of the shots we don’t take,” so don’t let fear stop you from taking your shot. I LOVE YOU
Thx 🙏. Sometimes starting a new thing is a result of fear of not really believing in it & using it as a backup plan. I’m going to drop the distractions & focus on one thing.
I just want to take this chance to say how amazing your videos are and especially this one. Really mind blowing and basic but josh it’s so much value. My friend and I have a podcast we recently started and this advice will definitely help us so much in the future especially with managing social media and stuff. We are a self improvement podcast and we are trying to create a community and help people reach their full potential while they help us do the same. We learn and grow together with the audience. So thank you for this stuff and keep it up bro.
Really helpful video! Alex has many parallels to stoicism and logotherapy; a lot of his advice encourages you to listen to the voice of our conscious. This idea of the "logos" that is a sort of "hint from the heavens" on the right thing to do I think is showed very well in his ideas, not to mention the transitions and edits on the videos are top notch!
Good sir. Would you consider me distracted or not? I started learning programming on my free time to better work on software that I find easier over time to troubleshoot and work with in general(windows and debian linux operating systems mainly). Since my job is a tech in the Navy that means I also work on hardware maintenance. So I enjoy troubleshooting hardware as well as software. I decided to spend most of my free time last year learning the basics of python programming. A couple days ago I finally find myself enrolled to a course called "2M Miniature/Micro Miniature repair", where I'll be working on the components of a circuit board amoungst other things involving soldering. I've always desired this skill. I plan to pass this course and obtain the certification so I can bring all my tech skills together and build around the programs I have in mind. I'm curious, id just like to know your opinion. Would you consider my approach a distracted one?
I was a server for 30 years in a variety of different places, one thing that remained consistent, rich people are the WORST tippers. I raised 3 kids by serving tables and bartending. When I say they are the WORST tippers ,I mean to an embarrassing level. Keep your precious money, it defines who you are. Not me.
man... Can't believe how much value is packed in your videos. Quick question: What would be your advice for a business that is stagnating because of a lack of employees ?
Hey Alex. You are the man. Im not even close to where I want to be but I know that I will get there because I am completely convinced that your videos have opened my eyes to the “don’t be cute” mentality you display. It’s awesome. I am going to be a successful real estate agent. Thank you.
This was a great video to watch. There is value in keeping the main thing, the main thing. "Welcome to building a big business" is correct. This video puts things into perspective how even people having multiple "successful businesses" by their standards wether it is making millions/year or 10ks or 100ks per month they could be even better if they only focus on one to reach billions.
I agree, Alex always provides so much value in these videos and this one is so important to remember all we can truly stay focused on our true purpose and passion right now 💫🧠💡
The women in the red dress tells us... Doing more of something all-ways increases the risk with each addition, especially if those additions have flaws... Doing something Better has the lowest risk with the best reward system, the entire premise is focused on improvement... but, no matter what we have or have not done, Execution bears the greatest risk... don't be cute, believe in the mission, consciousness is a business, mind the ferrets, it's simple back yard football and all we need is consistent yardage... Figure out where your heart is... And get started.
Sometimes I wonder if your channel is too good to be true. I mean, all this free knowledge, it's hard to believe there's no catch/this isn't all BS. But then I watch your videos and I'm just like, this all seems like legitimate knowledge that can help my business/life...
Bro I just made it to the 5 minute mark and my GOODNESS you've been COOOOOOKING with good content so far man! I had to take a moment and recollect haha. Dude is laying the business out AS SIMPLE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE while keeping it interesting. You couldn't ASK for a better opening to learn these things, omg.
This is awesome advice. I want to watch more of your videos, but I also feel like I should just take some time to fully absorb the information in this one video first😀.
What about the 80/20 principle? What if by having five businesses you can put the 20% of inputs into each business that create 80% of the outputs? Wouldn’t your time be better spent divided among five businesses where you focus on the 20% of inputs that create outsized results? Big fan of your channel.
If there are two gyms in your town, one has an owner that does the 80% and the other one does the 95%, which gym would you go to? Which restaurant could charge more, one that does the 80% or one that does the 95%? Which dentist would you go to? Yahoo did the 80%, Google did the 95%, the leverage in being the best is insane at scale "If you're not first you're last" is a good book about this
I know you probably said this for the comments but as basically the biggest Matrix fan ever (seriously, try me), and someone who went to school a quick walk from where that scene was filmed... it's not New York. It's Sydney, and it's meant to be just... like... a place. Maybe a place called Martin, because that's where it is.
The perfect example of what I'm talking about, is he gave an example of dry cleaning which is a dying business, I have had a friend who's in the industry for 30 years It's not making any money anymore he does everything perfectly, sometimes you do need to start new buckets in order to get away from industries that are dying. Yeah, obviously if you find a business that's making a ton of money it makes more sense to just focus in on that one business no brainer, the rest of us are looking for a model that actually works. And we have to experiment.
Great video! I do recall you once talking about (I believe) Warren Buffet, where he talked about his classmate being very bright but not as successful as he is. The reason for not being as successful was that he chose the "Wrong Boat". Maybe entrepreneurs are trying different businesses because they may think they are in the wrong boat. How do you know if you are on the "Good Boat" or "wrong Boat" ;-)?

*Fear, The Greatest Hinderance To Success*
Fear is the primary reason people fail, or even don’t start something in the first place. But living your life in fear will only cause disappointment in the long run. After all, “we miss 100% of the shots we don’t take,” so don’t let fear stop you from taking your shot.
I LOVE YOU
I love you too
I need to focus on one of my businesses, too
dude the video editors are on fire
Some major 💎's here. Thanks Alex!
Wow. This is great advice.
Thx 🙏. Sometimes starting a new thing is a result of fear of not really believing in it & using it as a backup plan. I’m going to drop the distractions & focus on one thing.
Good content bro! Where can I find a list of the basics? Cheers
I just want to take this chance to say how amazing your videos are and especially this one. Really mind blowing and basic but josh it’s so much value. My friend and I have a podcast we recently started and this advice will definitely help us so much in the future especially with managing social media and stuff. We are a self improvement podcast and we are trying to create a community and help people reach their full potential while they help us do the same. We learn and grow together with the audience. So thank you for this stuff and keep it up bro.
Man Alex can really spit fire that fast for 13:56, soon.
I think the one thing that helps businesses grow and scale are written systems and processes. It relieves the need to be present constantly.
Really helpful video! Alex has many parallels to stoicism and logotherapy; a lot of his advice encourages you to listen to the voice of our conscious. This idea of the "logos" that is a sort of "hint from the heavens" on the right thing to do I think is showed very well in his ideas, not to mention the transitions and edits on the videos are top notch!
4:20 thanks Alex im literally watching it on the toilet
Mark Zuckerberg had a side hustle; it was called Harvard and he dropped it real quick lmao
“Mark Zuckerberg didn’t have side hustles”
*Elon Musk enters the chat*
Money from Obama
Good sir. Would you consider me distracted or not?
I started learning programming on my free time to better work on software that I find easier over time to troubleshoot and work with in general(windows and debian linux operating systems mainly). Since my job is a tech in the Navy that means I also work on hardware maintenance. So I enjoy troubleshooting hardware as well as software.
I decided to spend most of my free time last year learning the basics of python programming. A couple days ago I finally find myself enrolled to a course called "2M Miniature/Micro Miniature repair", where I'll be working on the components of a circuit board amoungst other things involving soldering. I've always desired this skill.
I plan to pass this course and obtain the certification so I can bring all my tech skills together and build around the programs I have in mind.
I'm curious, id just like to know your opinion. Would you consider my approach a distracted one?
I was a server for 30 years in a variety of different places, one thing that remained consistent, rich people are the WORST tippers. I raised 3 kids by serving tables and bartending. When I say they are the WORST tippers ,I mean to an embarrassing level. Keep your precious money, it defines who you are. Not me.
Thank you!
love the new editor you brought on, he's giving me much more of your information in a lot smaller amount of time
man... Can't believe how much value is packed in your videos.
Quick question: What would be your advice for a business that is stagnating because of a lack of employees ?
Can you not afford them?
Outstanding!
Such useful content thank you Alex
The only guy on RUclips I need to listen to at 0.75x speed
Hey Alex. You are the man. Im not even close to where I want to be but I know that I will get there because I am completely convinced that your videos have opened my eyes to the “don’t be cute” mentality you display. It’s awesome. I am going to be a successful real estate agent. Thank you.
This was a great video to watch. There is value in keeping the main thing, the main thing. "Welcome to building a big business" is correct. This video puts things into perspective how even people having multiple "successful businesses" by their standards wether it is making millions/year or 10ks or 100ks per month they could be even better if they only focus on one to reach billions.
I agree, Alex always provides so much value in these videos and this one is so important to remember all we can truly stay focused on our true purpose and passion right now 💫🧠💡
Real question is how Alex's long island accent is so on point 🤔
Well put… Discipline in truly understanding the depth of a value is not practiced by all
The women in the red dress tells us...
Doing more of something all-ways increases the risk with each addition, especially if those additions have flaws... Doing something Better has the lowest risk with the best reward system, the entire premise is focused on improvement...
but, no matter what we have or have not done, Execution bears the greatest risk...
don't be cute, believe in the mission, consciousness is a business, mind the ferrets, it's simple back yard football and all we need is consistent yardage...
Figure out where your heart is...
And get started.
thankyou verymuch alex, ur videos are really helpful
What if we desire to serve different markets? Maybe numbers aren’t what everyone is after.
Sometimes I wonder if your channel is too good to be true. I mean, all this free knowledge, it's hard to believe there's no catch/this isn't all BS. But then I watch your videos and I'm just like, this all seems like legitimate knowledge that can help my business/life...
Timely advice for me! Thanks brotha 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Alex your videos get better and better! Thanks for all the knowledge
Bro I just made it to the 5 minute mark and my GOODNESS you've been COOOOOOKING with good content so far man! I had to take a moment and recollect haha. Dude is laying the business out AS SIMPLE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE while keeping it interesting. You couldn't ASK for a better opening to learn these things, omg.
Thanks Alex!
A quick question - what about Elon Musk running multiple companies ?
Free money from Obama
"They" don't keep you poor. There is no reality outside of you. You're creating everything you experience. Poverty is a belief, a vibration.
Wow I really needed to hear this
Alex....thanks for the material you are putting out. Very applicable and valuable to many.
after watching your video on "get rich in the new economy 2022" and this one, dude you earned my subscription.
This is awesome advice. I want to watch more of your videos, but I also feel like I should just take some time to fully absorb the information in this one video first😀.
What about the 80/20 principle? What if by having five businesses you can put the 20% of inputs into each business that create 80% of the outputs? Wouldn’t your time be better spent divided among five businesses where you focus on the 20% of inputs that create outsized results? Big fan of your channel.
If there are two gyms in your town, one has an owner that does the 80% and the other one does the 95%, which gym would you go to?
Which restaurant could charge more, one that does the 80% or one that does the 95%?
Which dentist would you go to?
Yahoo did the 80%, Google did the 95%, the leverage in being the best is insane at scale
"If you're not first you're last" is a good book about this
Spitting facts🌶 can’t believe how much value you put into these videos 😮 love your vibe. Your editor is sooooooo 👍
A new hoodie design won’t sell if the shipping delivery still takes a month. Fix the shipping then add new designs.
Great on point video. Was getting sidetracked for a while but this reaffirmed my base business goal
Brilliantly explained and executed 👍
I know you probably said this for the comments but as basically the biggest Matrix fan ever (seriously, try me), and someone who went to school a quick walk from where that scene was filmed... it's not New York. It's Sydney, and it's meant to be just... like... a place. Maybe a place called Martin, because that's where it is.
The perfect example of what I'm talking about, is he gave an example of dry cleaning which is a dying business, I have had a friend who's in the industry for 30 years It's not making any money anymore he does everything perfectly, sometimes you do need to start new buckets in order to get away from industries that are dying. Yeah, obviously if you find a business that's making a ton of money it makes more sense to just focus in on that one business no brainer, the rest of us are looking for a model that actually works. And we have to experiment.
Great video! I do recall you once talking about (I believe) Warren Buffet, where he talked about his classmate being very bright but not as successful as he is. The reason for not being as successful was that he chose the "Wrong Boat". Maybe entrepreneurs are trying different businesses because they may think they are in the wrong boat. How do you know if you are on the "Good Boat" or "wrong Boat" ;-)?
Good question! He answers the question by adding the variable of time horizon. Any boat works over the course of a decade to any destination.
Thank you brother... Let me know when you want some custom plaid you've never seen before
