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.

[@brianjones9780]

That first tip cutting costs makes such a HUGE difference. I went from living semi-comfortably paycheck to paycheck in a 2 bed apartment, moved in with an older couple whose kids are out of the house and already having their own kids. I got my own room, which is enough. I got my own bathroom, which is more than I need. Ontop of that, I no longer have a car, instead I ride a $100 bike to a job that is close enough I can cut that expense of a vehicle out of my budget almost entirely (still have to buy inner tubes every once in a while). With the money I'm saving this way, I have literally 1/3 of my cash flow as "free money" that I have been saving, investing, and putting into the things I need to start my own business or fuel my success. I can't emphasize enough that if your main stress in life is making ends meet, there's probably a way you can live a bit less comfortably but find even more comfort from being financially stable. Not having netflix, or youtube music, or a new pair of shoes, none of this matters to me when I'm sitting in a park in some of my thinking/brainstorming time and I don't have to even think about how to pay rent for one second. Being less comfortable is something you can get used to, and if that buys you the ability to think clearly about what you can do to achieve greater success then the value you get from the cheaper options is immeasurable.

@ngnoiddottv Heard a guy say that the future only required jobs will be Prompt engineering and an interpretator of the info the AI gives.

[@rodiculous9464]

​@ngnoiddottvnope this is wrong. Ai is nowhere near this advanced and it's not all a net benefit. People thought the internet would give us flying cars and recreational Mars trips instead all we have in a bunch of lonely, isolated, mentally unstable people at each other's throats plus a nuclear war probably later this year

[@KidGlo]

@ngnoiddottv couldn’t be further from the truth. it’s just like they said computers & technology would put everyone out of jobs. AI will create new jobs, and people with current jobs will just implement AI to make themselves more effective and efficient. saying “none of this matters” is just a cop out because you’re stubborn.

I’ve gone across hiring managers before with applicants who applied for a completely different position (one that’s just been filled or for which they weren’t a good fit) and eventually found a place to hire them in the company. Alex is 100% right here.

When people have money, they spend it. And some people spend more money when they have more of it. If you want to improve your finanncial management, you should consult with a finanncial adviisor.

[@baileymclean8186]

You can escape the traps of lifestyle inflation by hiring a professional adviisor to help you plan your short- and long-term goals; it all boils down to adequate coaching. I've witnessed my salary produce money over the last two years and six months, and I now have a fully paid-off house and at least $2.2 million in saviings. All of this is the consequence of later invstments and the use of profesional asistance.

[@rooseveltcooper]

Great advice! When I was broke working for minimum wage 10 years ago I followed a very similar path. Unfortunately Uber and Lyft were just getting started and wasn't really doing much so it wasn't an option for me. However, I ended up getting two jobs, both minimum wage, moving in with family and then working on developing my skills and then applying to better jobs. Today, my one job pays more than double what I made from BOTH jobs and my side business pays me more than what I made from one of those jobs. If you're watching this video you have WAY WAY more opportunities than what I had in 2013 so go for it!

Starting at age 20 at san diego state all I did was hustle every single day. Stacked my classes on tuesday and thursday, cold called 12 hours a day rest of the days trying to get a lead. Fast forward 5 years later, I have sold more apartment building in san diego than anyone else in the past 2 years and have invested all of my money into cash flowing assets. When you first start, it might seem like you're going nowhere, but if you stick with it, you will become successful. Its only a matter of time.
