How to make SO much money it makes you sick

Want to SCALE your business? Go here: acquisition.com
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 Vanderbitl 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.

I think because you don't understand what he's saying. If you put it in context, what you own provides leverage, not what you do. You own skills, businesses, stocks.etc. You can do things forever, but that alone won't make you wealthy.@@kahlilgarmon7315

[@nicholaslinetti]

It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a portfolio manager and fixed income planner in the USA. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion but will provide legitimate income.

[@demetriussullivan4088]

I completely agree

[@StellaAlmiron]

This is very true! A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until burnt by their mistakes. After my last job layoff, I had to stay afloat, hence researched for licensed fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge and experience. My reserve fund of $225k has yielded nearly $1.3 million after subsequent investments so far.

[@trevorleigh6393]

Insightful. I need some advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop successful market tactics. Where can I find this professional portfolio manager?

[@StellaAlmiron]

I have been inclined with CHRIS RYAN STEWART, a CFA whose experience speaks for itself. I saw his take on risk management a couple of years back and I was amazed.

[@StellaAlmiron]

He has been the CFA responsible for my portfolio success, he operates a private client base you can confirm him yourself on the internet, regulation and all that.

[@ren1643]

I love your stuff Alex. Thank you so much for making your insane info free online. I had a question though. Do you have any recommendations for an artist? I’m not sure how to go from a soul sucking hourly job to a professional artist. There must be a fine line between what I create and what people like but I don’t know how to do it.

[@iamthekaverik]

I'd recommend The Futur and Chris Do - it's similar, but it's for designers and creatives I'm also slowly putting together helpful resources from my own journey in the area (I do 3d graphic design)

[@justusgreen8498]

Don’t listen to people who teach you how to make art, anyone can learn that. You need an advantage? Do you know what it is? It’s your network. You’ll never sale a painting until you’re discovered. It’s impossible. Get my point?

It’s my first year investing and man it’s hard to see my portfolio getting brutalized these weeks. However, a few investors I read about, even in the comments were able to make profits of over $350,000 in months. I must be doing something wrong. Please i need some hints on how to make actual gains.

[@MarvishaN]

The only wrong might be the strategy you're utilizing. My only advice is : Read some good books on investing, or just you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

[@josephbush]

This is why I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture the challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

[@josephbush]

@albatkobe HEATHER LEE LARIONI guides me. She works with Empower FinanciaI services. But there are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal._.,

Making a business more appealing to investors: 1. Make better “sandwiches”, better product 2. Improve backend (operations, logistics, costs, margins etc.) - not focus on how to market better 3. Consolidate, simplify, systemize(make frameworks) ->this makes it replicable ->scale Takeaway: eat your own “sandwiches”, continuous self diagnosis (look inwards!) ❤

@AlexHormozi big fan of your content. Here’s a question for you… As a fan and consumer of your content, I’ve heard the phrase mental masturbation thrown around… You put out extremely deep and fruitful wisdom on the daily…but as we all know, if we want to get to where we want to go we have to stop consuming and start -doing-. Question: Once we understand the lessons that your life and your brand can teach us, should the average user get off the scrolling and focus on what needs to get done? It’s somewhat an odd question, your content pushes the audience to be their best selves and go for their entrepreneurial/life dreams….but once they get the point, they should put the content down and get going on their own grind. God bless.
