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.

Please breakdown your thoughts on authenticity. How do you decide a difference between:
being disciplined and doing things you don't enjoy to achieve a desired result vs being inauthentic to get a desired result?
You forgot to mention Archery and Pool for Bro Rogan.
Can you do more videos on how to make money with skool?
yeah that's important, because it's arguable that the saturation for this type of "top 5%" market is pretty high. How many ROCK's or Mr. Beasts can there be. It saturates fast, sucks for all the brands who create hype then cause a dark winter for their brand. For the other 95% they must take different strategies, and to be honest, our economy should shift to more long term thinking with less fomonomics. More chik-fil-a or Sony/hello kitty long-term brand value with less spikes, then drops in the price chart and emotional rollercoaster. That's why so many rockstars try to commit suicide or are secretly in therapy.
im not saying that ppl can't enjoy themselves or express themselves, but everyone, especially those with strong ambition should dedicate a small portion of their thinking to what builds health economics rather than everyone just not give a fuck lets all be rockstars and leverage hype. That's how society gets emotionally fatigued both as fans and as rockstars. And also, economically difficult. It's like if everyone tried to become bitcoin billionaires or super popular actors. The economic and psycho-emotional environment cannot sustain that. We need to build our society more long-term and with good strong balance or dynamics. You don't have to walk on eggshells but we must think about this.
Bro casually drops knowledge worth gold without anyone asking. We need more men like him. God bless you Alex
and u wont apply and keep eating donuts but get off on feeling like you know more now

Yeh and nobody starts acting after watching this, even then, you won’t be happy in life if you do something to make big money only to make big money, these money making finance advice TH-camrs make it always sound like you succeed because you make money and build a brand, but in the end who the fuck cares, you are not a loser or less worth if you didn’t do this, milking the TH-cam algorithm dry with such videos
You can be like him, bro. If we need more like him, why not you? 😉
Find the book titled Money's Hidden Magic, you'll learn all the money attraction techniques there. Trust me on this.
can i gate a free ebook of that if possible please tell
Bro I need that eBook
i have the ebook

I dont know how Alex manages to keep his videos high pace (he never lets a video section get boring) while providing insane value and STILL delivering a 1 hour video
Alex is nailling the youtube game
Hes got a whole team running this. Hes rich after all.
By filling the video with 31 unnecessary animations/jumpcuts/zooms and stupid sound effects every two seconds, just to keep your chimp brain occupied so you can sit still to consume something that is actually super valuable.
Welcome to social media 2024. Ooooogghh, chimp happy....
His editor is cracked out of their mind beyond any plane of existence that humans can comprehend hahaha

I'll meet him up there soon
Not yet@@ikbol
This is one of the most organized, polished and practical videos in the history of TH-cam! Bravo
I couldn't agree more.. Alex is doing an impressive job
Alex is so generous with his content. There is so much value to what he is saying and he is giving it away for free!
Others charge money for content that offers less value.
I think he legitimately wants people to do better.
You know the content is gold when you have ADHD and still watch the entire 57 min video in one sitting!
Unless there is something else you are supposed to be doing ...
You know the content is gold when it proves you don't really have ADHD!
@@lui9267dude you took the words out of my mouth, most people claim to have ADHD. Some think it’s a trend or some shit
@@Optimalwellbeingway ... The condition is real though. Fakers will always be there ... Just like the Gluten thing.
Still be careful calling someone a faker.
ADHD, social anxiety, introvert, gay, depressed…pls shut that ish down. People throw these words around so much
Now we just need to see the Blcktken300 price also move in the same direction as these charts. Up. Very Up.
This is a masterclass in building a personal brand. I started in 2017 and now is when I’m starting to see the benefits from all those years. Longevity is key.
That is an INSANELY valuable video, could be a real paid course
Paid for what? Common sense? I wouldn't be surprised, considering how many folks seem to be lacking it when it comes to the basics.
@@magicismagic123this is not basics and we all know it. Breaking down this type of stuff in way that’s engaging to the public isn’t simple. If it was common sense majority of people would have a Bugatti with a nice house by the beach lol
@@Sarah-kv3qs he is good in talking and that's why where is the attention is the money. not blaming anyone
Not only great info but he also gave an excellent, engaging talk. It’s a masterclass is brand building but also a masterclass in public speaking.

I got so much inspiration and motivation from your energetic sharing, Alex. And now i am on the very first step to build an Online Business as a Digital Reviewer. It may be challenging at the beginning but no action no movement. I hope anyone on the same stage like me will always be positive to move forward. See guys on the other side. ❤
Alex! make a video about different business models and their ease of start, ceiling, and profit margins. Like a service based business like a yard company vs a product company like a plant store. Or a SAAS model vs a DAAS. Or a digital product vs physical. Like most people cannot get into private equity before they start some businesses first.
Alex is the most well spoken person on the entire Internet, and the best at articulating concepts in the most simple way
dude just pick one and start.
Alex! The Value I see, hear and feel is that you truly express how passionate you are about HELPING! You are not reading a board and just standing there as if you just bought this from someone. You are not asking for money for this help. Your time spent for EVERYONE ELSE BUT YOU display you are nothing short of LEGENDARY of a HUMAN BEING and whatever you give is appreciated by this girl! as I am sure it is by every follower you have! with this, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME and KNOWLEDGE!
Indeed, Alex is doing a very good job! He's presentations are impeccable 😊
I'm going to build an audience for the next 10 years just so I can link with this dude.
Awesome video bro!
Agreed! Hormozi is great😊
Thank you Alex, you are such an amazing teacher. If I become anything good tomorrow, it is thanks to your exceptional teachings. The way you decode complex topics is so amazing. ❤
Take the 'if' away mate. The if is all dependent on you. You can make it, just gotta do the work!🙏🏽
Like many of you, I started watching Alex on TH-cam a couple years ago. His videos were not my go to because I’m not business obsessed and the quality was not what it is today. I suppose I was drawn to his philosophical side. But watching him evolve it’s hard not to get excited by his content. If nothing else, he makes you/me want to be a better person. We all need inspiration, and Alex delivers it in spades. I’m glad he’s collaborating with Mr. Beast, building on his content, and inevitably will reach and uplift more people. Happy to be part of Mozi Nation.
Love what you wrote and can completely relate! Alex is a true deliverer.
Alex doing a podcast with Joe Rogan would be so awesome ! 🙌
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Donald Kayla
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $7500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills

Alex, how do you operationalize "Rejection" to help people get past the fear of rejection stopping them from achieving their goals in sales and getting their business off the ground?
Alex, Alex, Alex… whilst it’s all fine and well to do 18 hour days when you’re young, some of us seasoned folk simply don’t have the energy to grind like that anymore. We’ll do what we should and leverage the rest.
What a masterclass for personal branding. Thank you Alex.
Couldn't put it better!
This is something I needed - as an artist I feel personal brand is what I need to focus on
the crazy thing is seeing how you've changed your methods of content and even the way you present. learning from the best. this feels like a spot on mr beast video for entrepreneurs down to the speech and edit patterns lol amazing to see.
All I can say is THANK you so much. It has given me the clarity I needed on building my brand
Agreed! Alex is doing a fantastic job!
You never fail to pump me up and help me grind! Thank you, Alex. Thanks for keeping it real.
Totally.. The man is a legend and his content is invaluable!
Hey Alex, I'm a 17 year old highschool senior from New Jersey. Could I be in your next Q&A video? It would mean the world to me. I currently run a tutoring business, and am trying to scale it using your books.
This video is going to change a lot of lives for the better.
100% agree!
@alexhormozi would love your formula / breakdown for becoming aware of “who you truly are”
Not Hormozi but wanted to offer some help regardless. Experimentation, reading, and just trying new things. That would be the formula for finding out who you are versus who you are not. Hope it helps in a small way! Cheers!
Great insights on starting a business, Alex! It's a game-changer.
You are doing incredibly well! Good job mate!
I am on the same road to build up my brand and this video is golden :)
Watching this video has made me think twice about life
I’ve been doing longevity for a game called league since I was 14 (I’m 21 now) and I’ve gotten really got to the point for semi pro, I’ve also practiced streaming and was able to get around 15-20 viewers
I stopped all of that to learn video editing (premiere pro and after effects) and film, I also took a 2 year course for business marketing, learned about social media marketing/management, and used those skills to get a client
But now I’m in a position where I don’t think it I continue working on my videography skills and get clients or continue improving but for myself in the content/gaming career
I love both, I feel more mature and enjoy the conversation with business people
The gaming community can be fun at times with fun jokes and random stuff, but it’s sometimes too toxic and “cringe” for me to participate in sometimes
Any advice on what I should continue doing?
Alex casually dropping free value worth more than any of the paid gurus
Hey now. I'm 33. Grew up watching every single wrestling show aired. 😂but yes I get the point.. ty mozi. Can't explain how much I appreciate your content. I'm 2 yrs into my 360° from junky to business owner. ❤❤❤❤❤
You got this! Now is a better time than ever to be successful and change your life!
Can I ask what you were addicted to?
You know the content is gold when you have ADHD and still watch the entire 57 min video in one sitting!
Thanks Alex, Im at 20k youtube subscribers and growing my personal brand. Great lessons to keep expanding, even when the grind gets tough
Haha you’ve got a really cool niche, keep at it man
I love the videos that show evidence. When Alex says "This is how I relate to that. ". So good...
Man I love your personality and energy. You inspired me so much. I also working on my body, going to the gym and now I decide to start my own budiness (SMMA - learning how to sell, how to editting, how offer my services ex.). Thanks God that I find you on TH-cam many years ago, but i wans´t prepare for your channel, Now I´m ready like never before. It's crazy what youtube can do (gave me this information, even when I´m on the diffrent side of planet) :D Now it´s my last year of the University , this is my last semestr and definitly, I will never gonna do the staff, that I hate (school system :D) Hope, I will have a chance meet you F2F. Thans for this value whitch you´re providing. I can´t belive that this information are completely free. One guy from Czech republic. Good luck.
How is this video free. Love TH-cam. Love Alex Hormozi. The clarity with which he breaks down concepts… world class.
bro the level of dedication and complete all in attitude of yours is just incredible
This is great, Alex!
Me and everyone else here who aspires to be a full time content creator, really appreciate it!
When u posting again?
He has an amazing wife too. Supportive. Great duo. Given free and god blessing him
You did joe Rogan so dirty, you made his poster so small 😂
Your video is worth every second of mine.
Have you checked on Cristiano Ronaldo on his brand
YOUR LEGEND ALEX!
Besides the insane value here I don't think people realise what insane job on Alex side was to film talking, no script, probably with people in a room and constantly looking and navigating multiple cameras. Just wow.
Alex is going to be a billionaire for sure in the next few years.
Amazing content - 💪🏽 every time I hear something immediately actionable! Thank you Alex
You can’t file bankruptcy on reputation… so goooooood; my grandpa used to say something very similar to me all the time growing up. Keep up the good work Hormozi 🙌🏻
Thanks for this masterpiece.
The visuals were fantastic.
And the content was insightful.
Delivered in a very entertaining way.
10/10 would watch again
A true masterpiece inddeed!
insane value
I love your new casual style Alex more neat and elite. 👍🏻🔥
This man is an impeccable presenter!
Hey Alex would love if you could do some behind the scenes style videos that could be lower quality. So we can see what goes into the shooting of the videos and even just what your day to day life looks like here and there and we can keep gaining small bits of wisdom from you as it goes on. Thanks bro
This guy kills it!!
1:53 did anyone else rewind at this point? Had to hear it again. Love his content though
Man, I'll have to watch this when I'm cleaning the house or something because there is a lot to unpack here. The longevity part is what pains me the most, in the examples that he gives, it takes years before anything actually pays off which is disheartening.
Naturally, I'm an impatient dude so this is one of the things I struggle with this project as well. Gonna be a brutal pill to swallow but at least I got my 9-5 to help pay the bills.
Been watching several years, this might be the best breakdown you’ve ever done. Thank you sir, Keep grinding brother 🫡🤝
I'm a recent fan, and I couldn't agree more!
Alex you are a beast! We appreciate all you do!
Amen to that!
Alex GOD bless you. Words can not Express how thankful I am to you. I love you bro no homo. You dropping this greatness is absolutely undescribable 💪🏿
17:27, that was medicine that I needed to take but didn't want to take it. What I am saying is, I really needed to hear that, I have been on and off for the last 10 years in marketing & sales, but I have not been committed. Thanks Alex for that kick in the butt, I had goosebumps once I heard you talk about the difference between committed time & bullsh*ting time.
Hello sir love from India
Man, this is priceless! THIS IS GODDAMN PRICELESS, (PRAISES GO TO YOUR MEANINGFUL CYNICISM MR HORMOZI! and god)

But one thing is for sure though, the fame is exhaustin, that's why I moved away, I needed privacy"- a wise man named Cole.
Found this at 24. Hopefully I look back at this in 5 years🙌🏻
16:15 What would make sense for your brand is super functional apparel like your everywhere shoes
The big point from this video is what Naval as always been saying productize yourself.
I’ve been writing down notes on this man’s videos. He is providing great free content for those diligent enough to apply it. He is CONVICTED!
8:10 is amazing and super great help
Alex is a genius and so humble. Can't wait for him to reach billionaire status like the people he talked about on this video
you really raise the level on anyone else in this industry at this point.
Can’t wait to 100m dollars Sales ♥️♥️
An absolute masterpiece 10/10 👌👌
I have been putting everything I have into my craft and my brand and my business and myself 24/7 365 until I bleed, and crawl on my literal hands and knees toward my goals since 2004 .... I am still broke, struggling, sad and hungry.... I'm not saying that i'm going to give up, But perhaps there's more to it then perseverance, Skill, Drive, Determination, Discipline, And and a single minded will to succeed. Maybe there's something other than those things that I am missing.
When you aim high you often come across fights that arent worth fighting. One upping your peers isnt easy
God Bless You Alex and to Everyone in the Chat!! This in MY opinion was your BEST video!! Let's Go Destroy It Chat!!!! ☝🙏
I could pay for this video! congratulations, incredible content. 💥🔥
Exactly what I thought!
0:54 Could have said the same about Madonna until... It didn't compound anymore and started decreasing.
Great video, wonderful advice... But I'm a pain in the a$$ for accuracy :)
Feedback: A slight thing that I think you could improve with this specific video would to have the volume of the music just a bit quieter. I only noticed this in this video so I don’t know if this is a pattern.
BTW I love your content. Thank you so much you are totally changing my perspective and I am trying to absorb it as much as possible.
Alex is killing it , the thumbnails did switch right? Or am I crazy
the title really does not do any justice to this amazing content! Almost did not click on the video. It's like a masterclass for building your own personal brand!
GET TO WORK LADY"s & GENT'S! The Road has Been Paved! ☝🙏
Alex gives so much value I noticed I watched the ads out of association.
We are still on the journey, this video has ignited our passion once again. ❤❤
That's great! I see that you are doing well! Got yourself another subscriber :)
Awesome video, 15 second dopamine short? Nah how about holding my attention for an hour! Grateful my attention was directed to your helpful content.
Surprised you didn't cover Ryan Reynolds, also Joe isn't in the thumbnail??😅great video though 🔥🔥

"They will project their goals onto your reality, and as long as your reality is above their goals, they will not understand you"
Wow.
“They will project their goals onto your reality and as long as their goals is above you reality they wont understand you”
Pfffffff this guy cants stop throwing the best quotes out there 🔥
does anyone else think alex’s cadence is eerily similar to bill nye in a “consider the following”? i can’t unhear it now.
Shifting your identity is crucial 😉
The Rogan spread hit home, because as someone who has knowledge and enthusiasm for making content on pop music, classical, stocks and finance, comedy, medieval fantasy, crypto and blockchain, and ancestral nutrition, I always thought I was going in too many directions.
When you touch 1B, I genuinely won’t be surprised. You’re that guy, Mozi. 🤝🏾
One of the most valuable videos on TH-cam! thank you so much Alex for this brilliant video. Merci azizam:)
100% Agreed!
This video was in 11k views yesterday. I feel asleep after The rock, today it's on 74K.... it proves the videos teachings in real time
The previous title and thumbnail was better
Thanks for the video Alex. I'm just curious whether its alright for someone to start with different forms of content even if its all part of their personality. The way most people have done it is that they build authority with one type of content & then branched out to others forms of content. Would love to know your thoughts on this
Next book is gonna be:
