How To Actually Get Rich In Your 20s

Want to SCALE your business? Go here: www.acquisitio...
Want to START a business? Go here: skool.com/games
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.

Yup same here dude. Graduated in 2020 (in the middle of a pandemic lol) with a BS in mechanical engineering, took me about two years to get into the engineering field. Nothing is given in this world and you will have no other option but to stay down or get back up and keep trying. Self confidence, not being afraid to explore, and learning to say no is important. Also you will hate your co-workers at times, but in the end you have to do your job.

[@RobertoBlake]

He is 100% right that as a man you are valued based on your utility, almost exclusively. Build your skills up just like a video game, acquire tools to augment your skills, gain more experience, and learn the rules of the game. And of course grind and min/max. There is nothing you are missing out on in your 20s as a man. Disposable relationships, worthless. Drunken nights? worthless. Movies and Tv. Worthless. Relax by sleeping, reading to improve your mind, and mediation. You don't need entertainment, and there is nothing toxic about saying so. It's just someone else monetizing your time instead of you earning or learning with that valuable time. Stop throwing it away because people tell you its okay, or because everyone else is doing it. Your hobbies are anyting that gives you a skill, anything that makes you money, anything that makes you smart or anything that makes you healthy. Your mental health isn't going to suffer for getting rid of your entertainment if you are in great shape, eating clean food, not having addicitions, and getting great sleep. All that men need for the mental health is to be able to like the man they see in the mirror, and to know that they see someone with value, and someone who has options and someone who they would respect.

I wish I went harder in my youth and tried more and build a fuckload of skills. I did well, but like.

@@OidBuddy I graduated with an Economics degree during an economic downturn. Didn't go great out of the gate since no one was hiring. I was making ten bucks an hour working retail. What got me out of that was Temp to Perm through a Financial staffing agency. I test well, so I was able to demonstrate skills that they could sell to clients in Finance, Accounting etc. One of them converted to permanent, and 6 promotions later, I'm making $10K a month working from home (pretty good gig). What would have helped me starting out was if I'd had more job experience and a better network BEFORE I graduated from school.

Id agree and disagree. It seems like you were just working but you had no passion in your job/career. Work the job that you love or like no?

"Use actions as your coping mechanism." Right on. Totally agree with the wisdom in this statement. Make something small happen while you are waiting for the big things to happen. Be intentional. Seek to get better.

My experience in my early 20’s was largely filled with making mistake after mistake because I was hungry for growth. Getting a sales job at a large dealership and developing sales skills has benefited me exponentially across the board, whether that’s negotiating salary, buying/selling houses, vehicles etc. There’s a goldmine of great information that was largely my process, albeit more concise. After a decade of hard work, the outcome side of the equation has really taken off. Get out there and conquer the day, gents. It pays off.

[@Sharkdog11b]

Best thing someone that loves me told me years ago. “Someone that truly loves you and cares about you will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. After that anytime o guy criticized by someone like that I’ve gotten into the habit of saying “thank you for caring enough about me to tell me what I need to hear.” On that note know the difference between that and someone maybe just manipulating you so it comes with some wisdom on your end too. But if it’s from Alex it comes from a place of love 100 percent of the time. I refuse to have any friends that don’t treat me like him. That means I have four friends and I’ve never felt more full. I don’t need an army of “friends” to feel whole. I have three true friends (one of them I’m marrying the other one I served in the army with jumping out of airplanes and Literally trusting him with my life which I always will the other is my brother and my father) I need NO-ONE ELSE!) if you don’t have anyone like him it’s time to be alone till they find you. And you will NOT find them by looking they come to you every time trust me. Now get to work.

Work 12 hours a day while getting a minimum wage to please your corporate overlords, only to stay in the same stagnant place in 10 years. Mourn over your lost opportunities to make friendships or find a partner. Live what remains of your miserable life. Real winner right there.

[@LegacyBuckeye]

If you’re stagnant then YOU suck.

[@Veritas231]

If you have no drive and goal then yeah maybe youll stay stagnent. But even if you work at a gas station you can work your way up to assistent manager and then general manager. Gas station managers make like somewhere between 45k to 70k depending on what store you manage. Some places like big cities people making 6 figures as a manager. My point is you can put in the time anywhere even a low level place like a gas station move up and up to make decent money. If you think youre worth more than that, go make more than that in a industry that you can tolerate more than others

Money is not worth slaving yourself away for 72 hours a week. This is such a jaded take in all honesty. Get a job you enjoy that allows you to live comfortably and seek a happy life. You're doing exactly what this capitalistic dystopian hellscape of a country wants you to do if you're willingly giving up your life to fill someone elses pockets to get a taste of wealth. Its not bad to work hard but you shouldn't view yourself as a tool that only has value if you can learn skills for making money, that sounds like the life of a robot.

[@stupidlyawsome8590]

What do you do in life that makes your point have any meaning?

[@Racc-Kun_YT]

@@stupidlyawsome8590 My whole point is that what you do doesn't matter as long as you can live comfortably. Seek contentment over wealth and you'll have a better life. Slaving away 70 hours a week for a chance to pointlessly be a millionaire in your 40s sounds stupid af.

16:07 patience=figure out something else to do in the meantime. that's a great reframe. it's not that one is impacient, but it's that one doesn't have enough things to do instead of sitting there literally waiting; since if you're literally waiting it's not only a huge waste of time, but also everyone breaks under that pressure of waiting, it's only a question of time, but if you are doing other things you're "fine" with things being on hold for very long periods of time and whenever this thing that you have built up does come through it'll almost feel like a gift
