Alex you are the true example of someone who lives as proof of what happens when you stop distracting or lying to yourself, face your weaknesses or the areas you are unwilling to fix, and just do the things. Like you've said before, discipline is not doing what you are good at- it is consistently doing what you are NOT good at, until you get good at it. Thanks for everything you do and share!

sooo true- whenever I'm not feeling well/out of sync, it's usually either: bad quality sleep(ex. inconsistent sleep times, leaving lights on, etc.), poor nutrition(eating junk food, not cooking), stress(too much social media, not following schedule), and just simple things that make logical sense. Just need to be consistent at them xD
Quality Sleep & Quality Diet are Soooo Important. I can cheat on the diet here and there but without quality sleep I can’t function to my full potential mentally.
@@KingOfFinance1 same! like last week there was a day where I was just superrr energetic/productive and wondered why. Turns out I just got an extra 1.5 hours of un-interrupted sleep!
Expecting to suck during first 20 hours of a meeting skill really resonated. I found myself not starting things for fear of not being good out the gate. That’s just a poor way of thinking by me.
One thing I’ve noticed about him n Leila is when he talks about their businesses he says us. When she talks about their businesses she calls them hers. That alone says so much.
I am new to your channel, but i am already blown away by your content. What a goldmine of knowledge. Thank you, Alex! Much gratitude and respect from South Africa.
I became captain of a $3M yacht 20 years ago and do all 4 of these habits. I grew up poor. Alex's reasoning for overdelivering and giving first due to insecurity is spot-on IMHO. I believe it steps from a desire to feel important and gain acceptance except some of us (for one reason or another) feel that we must try harder than most people to accomplish that goal. The result is that it helps others. I'll take the W. Great wisdom here, Alex!
Your videos are great… thanks for opening up… It’s a lot of help to show and be more open even though you’ve admitted to being self conscious in the past
Thank you so much for what you do and for becoming the person you are. Not many greats have been bestowed upon humanity in this decade, but you are definitely one of them.
Looks like Super Mario discovered Steriods...... On a more serious note, love your content...Amazing how knowledge has abounded in such a massive way with the internet...We are vessels that absorb information, reinterpret and apply that, then repackage it in a unique way to share with others. Can only imagine how next level future generations are going to be!
It does not matter what hour you wake up. Yes, consistent sleep times are important. Not the specific hour. If you do wake up at 4AM, make sure you are asleep by 8PM... Other than that, pure gold.
The reason 4am is important for him is because as a CEO other people take his attention away. So if they're asleep he has uninterrupted focus time to build the business. Other people may be able to get this uninterrupted work time elsewhere 🤷
Hey Alex, thanks very much for this video, man! I have all the first 4 habits but the the point you made, about putting yourself in something new and not expecting nothing within the first 20 hours was amazing. I am currently learning to sell, just bought your book and will defo face it with this new mindset. Cheers
I'm not yet where I’d like to be yet as a real estate agent and investor. Alex’s channel has been massively beneficial. To me, this channel is one of the best I’ve seen for entrepreneurs about how to think and get stuff done in the real world.
The last few minutes of this video are so amazingly true. I work with geriatrics in their homes on a daily basis and no matter what they did for a living, no matter the competence, they're just a bunch of babies that don't know how to take care of themselves when it comes to basics like food, sleeping, drugs, hydration, maybe understanding the diseases they've had for 30 plus years... hope to God I am the polar opposite of these people When I'm officially a geriatric
At 12:08 there's a really important point about networking. To have great success you really do need a good network. Once you know the right people everything becomes easier. Alex is saying help them and later on they will help you make money.
You are in Austin?! Moved here recently and haven't made any friends because focused on my business. Would be epic to just be an acquaintance of yours.
I really resonate with the first 2 habits as I've been really strict on those lately. i wake up at 4am and feel that's the best time for me to wake up. if i want i can be a night owl. but if i want i can be a morning person. humans are pretty adaptable creatures.. but definitely relate more as the morning person. It seems humans are made more specifically to wake up in the morning hours than to stay up all night due to the fact we can't see in the dark like nocturnal creatures. My goal is to be relaxing in my bedroom winding down, prayer, reading, etc by 8:30pm and then actually by asleep by 9:30pm. so that would be 6 and 1/2 hours of sleep. which works good for me. When i do become wealthy though, I will never say I'm self made. as i can't take the credit. i come from the perspective of a Christian. And I know i'd be nowhere good without God; He's gotten me out of too many bad situations for me to think i am where i am just because of me. Just reading the bible is teaching me certain tried and true principles that give me better habits. and better habits in life can definitely lead to a better income. this is not say God will make you financially rich just by following him. but even more importantly, character development is taught through biblical principles. and this will definitely help in business for sure!
Personally I’ve found the ancient wisdom material (including the Bible) to be so helpful. Proverbs comes to mind as being particularly useful for successful living.
I never thought about the discomfort of knowing things are unsolved being a reason to be an entrepreneur but that's why I wanna start my own business so bad. I hate that companies who pay people by the hour allow so many problems to go unsolved either because of employee or manager laziness because working hourly programs you to not urgently get things done unless you are overloaded on work for your 8 hour period. If there isn't always 8 hours worth of work to do people get lazy at someone point because their rational brain knows they have extra time
Hey Alex, first of, great video! You often mention waking up earlier, though when do you go the gym? After your morning work block, as soon as you wake up, etc? Trying to see where it makes most sense to place the gym when waking up early.
For me I usually eat breakfast 1st thing in morning, pre workout then gym right after. Food, Caffeine Then A Workout. That way my blood is pumping. I’m physically and mentally ready for the day so if I’m working I’m functioning on a higher level. I’m not a big morning guy but gym in morning is KEY 🔑!!
Summary Habits wake up every day early (by sleeping everyday early) - even on the weekends Give to people, serving & take care of other people Be emotionally okay with sucking for 20 hours - that’s where 70% of your returns come from Absolute extreme ownership everything - we are all self made, only millionaires and billionaires own it. There are self-made homeless person. self-made average people. They just won’t own it.
Did I miss what time this guy goes to sleep? This is like the third video where he talks about sleep habits and says what time he gets up, and not what time he goes to sleep.

Thank you
Hands down one of the best TH-cam channels on entrepreneurship, period. THANK YOU ALEX.
Admitting to myself that I do certain things out of insecurity has been huge for me and it’s honestly mostly thanks to you.
Me too
that is exactly my takeaway from watching his video, that and self-confidence
same. big lesson Im learning ongoing right now
sooo true- whenever I'm not feeling well/out of sync, it's usually either: bad quality sleep(ex. inconsistent sleep times, leaving lights on, etc.), poor nutrition(eating junk food, not cooking), stress(too much social media, not following schedule), and just simple things that make logical sense.

Welcome to the perfectionists club.
@@DocJamal If I cant do it perfectly why start.. my mindset
@@conservativemacro80 welcome man, just grab a seat! Hhhhhhh
@@conservativemacro80 No man. This is a trap. it got me for years. Done is way better than Perfect, and it pays much more too...
I like this series of old gems to his private group that Alex is uploading lately.
How do you get access to that private group?
Same life changing
@@SumanEXE yeah?
Do you have to pay for that? I thought he wasn't selling anything 😀
Scam
DAAAAANG, That Ending is so good. All of us are self made. When we are poor we just don't admit it.
One thing I’ve noticed about him n Leila is when he talks about their businesses he says us. When she talks about their businesses she calls them hers. That alone says so much.
Discipline equals freedom. Point 1&2 are so simple but huge. Thank you

Alex is a champ shot for the honest approach and sincerity great info and advice

Great wisdom here, Alex!
The self-made average person line really did hit me in a deep way.
Your videos are great… thanks for opening up… It’s a lot of help to show and be more open even though you’ve admitted to being self conscious in the past
Thank you so much for what you do and for becoming the person you are. Not many greats have been bestowed upon humanity in this decade, but you are definitely one of them.
Dude pumping out fire content. I won’t be broke because of you.

Listening to your advise and actually applying it over the last few weeks has put me in gear! Thank you!
The ownership point is really the difference between high internal locus vs high external locus

@@austinderrow You are correct, lots of CEOs or business owners stay late after work for that same time or to plan for the next day week month etc.
A man with a huge heart for helping others sharing all you know it’s great watching your videos
Hey Alex, thanks very much for this video, man! I have all the first 4 habits but the the point you made, about putting yourself in something new and not expecting nothing within the first 20 hours was amazing. I am currently learning to sell, just bought your book and will defo face it with this new mindset. Cheers
So god damn powerful! That emotional blockage and insecurity is so real and its preventing 90% of us to realize our potential
When will u have enough money Alex? ❤ Ur so adorable slow down I can't keep up 😊
Straight fire dude. Think you summed up lots of books in 15 minutes
great advice mate! Greetings from Spain! Very inspirational, keep it up!
A little late th this video, I found it most inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not yet where I’d like to be yet as a real estate agent and investor. Alex’s channel has been massively beneficial. To me, this channel is one of the best I’ve seen for entrepreneurs about how to think and get stuff done in the real world.
Thank you brother! Taking action
I love the TH-cam algorithm! I change my life by watching your videos!
Broadcasting from a hallway in an undisclosed location. Brilliant.
Great words of wisdom are timeless! I'm enjoying watching these videos from the past. Keep them coming.
These videos in the private group were the golden days Alex! Used to love these dropping sporadically
Solid content, thank you for what you do Alex
First video I've ever watched from you man and I learned a lot. Thank you!
I’ve learned so much watching Alex and Leila videos. Thank you
Thanks Alex. Amazing as usual.
Awesome top 4!! It seems way too simple and easy but it works!
Recently found you Alex and LOVING your content - THANK YOU!
I love it!!! "I am self made"
Love it all! Thank you Alex!!!
Love your content bro it’s changing my life🔥
Giving me confidence man, thank you.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you for sharing this you seem like you genuinely care
This is some great advice my man. Stay up bro.
I feel very similar to you about the giving first thing. I tend to do the same when in new groups
Thanks Alex. Great content.💪 Intrigued about what time you set to go to bed on weekdays and weekends to wake up at 4am?
Love these videos. Thanks for the content. It’s definitely helping me change my mind set and move my business and life forward.
THIS DUDE ROCKS...THIS IS THE MAN THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS...not hills
We are all self made but only the successful seem to admit it. Love that quote. I got it from Earl Nightingale🤙
Thanks for sharing… i like the joke at the end
Tysm!
The last few minutes of this video are so amazingly true. I work with geriatrics in their homes on a daily basis and no matter what they did for a living, no matter the competence, they're just a bunch of babies that don't know how to take care of themselves when it comes to basics like food, sleeping, drugs, hydration, maybe understanding the diseases they've had for 30 plus years... hope to God I am the polar opposite of these people When I'm officially a geriatric
Thanks Alex, you are setting me right on track, once I slliped away(,due to new and changing condition in every-day life, new baby..)
When do you know the difference between giving and charity? I'm struggling with knowing how and where to draw the line so I can give in the right ways
At 12:08 there's a really important point about networking. To have great success you really do need a good network. Once you know the right people everything becomes easier. Alex is saying help them and later on they will help you make money.
Great stuff.
You are in Austin?! Moved here recently and haven't made any friends because focused on my business. Would be epic to just be an acquaintance of yours.
We’re all self made. The difference is owning it. Self made average person vs self made millionaire. Wow that hits. Own your life 💯
You are a champion Alex. Brilliant advice.
The last routine to me was the most valuable
"if you accept you're going to suck for the first 20 hours............." That hit home! Now back to Hubspot...........
I love how there's pizza in the thumbnail for no fucking reason
These are some empowering habits! Thank you Alex!
didn't you say to reject routines to achieve goals?
Another excellent video.. I’m curious about your birth month/zodiac sign
I really resonate with the first 2 habits as I've been really strict on those lately. i wake up at 4am and feel that's the best time for me to wake up. if i want i can be a night owl. but if i want i can be a morning person. humans are pretty adaptable creatures.. but definitely relate more as the morning person. It seems humans are made more specifically to wake up in the morning hours than to stay up all night due to the fact we can't see in the dark like nocturnal creatures.

@@josephbrolly7232 thanks! You as well sir
@@rappcu yes indeed!
doubt you sleep 6.5 hours constantly without oversleeping
The blame game is for losers. Once I finally stopped blaming people and being negative every day it was a total game changer!!
just to share drinking and smoking reduction helped me think clearly but do have to work on the sleep thing
Alex thank you, you're a good dude.
I never thought about the discomfort of knowing things are unsolved being a reason to be an entrepreneur but that's why I wanna start my own business so bad.

Great tips but why does the the thumbnail have a picture of pizza??
I just want to say Thank you. No where close to working with you, but I will be.
It's crazy that this was only 2 years ago
Hey Alex, first of, great video! You often mention waking up earlier, though when do you go the gym? After your morning work block, as soon as you wake up, etc? Trying to see where it makes most sense to place the gym when waking up early.
He goes around mid day. He posts his calves on Instagram at the gym around lunch time a little before or after 😂
For me I usually eat breakfast 1st thing in morning, pre workout then gym right after. Food, Caffeine Then A Workout. That way my blood is pumping. I’m physically and mentally ready for the day so if I’m working I’m functioning on a higher level.

Amazing content as always.
Summary
Habits
wake up every day early (by sleeping everyday early) - even on the weekends
Give to people, serving & take care of other people
Be emotionally okay with sucking for 20 hours - that’s where 70% of your returns come from
Absolute extreme ownership everything
- we are all self made, only millionaires and billionaires own it. There are self-made homeless person. self-made average people. They just won’t own it.
Thank you so much!
I love it thank you
thanks man!
Absolute gold!! 💪
Brother can you make a video on how to make your first million? And what it's like? Harder surely?
Youre the best thank you for your videos
Sounds like you've read Extreme Ownership, by Jocko Willink. Would it be a terrible idea to do a video with him?
13:46 - 13:50
I got chills. All i can say is yes.
Great video brother!
Awesome. Thanks
I'm next to Vanderbilt right now,,,,was in the ER for accident,,,,
Thanks🙏
Hey Alex do you have any videos on what type of business to start?
Did I miss what time this guy goes to sleep? This is like the third video where he talks about sleep habits and says what time he gets up, and not what time he goes to sleep.
HARDWORK IS THE GOAL
Super video
Good tips.
Alex, huge fan and thanks for the value your provide. I have a question. What do you do with people that are “takers” and maybe exploit your giving?
Value on 💯
Dude I wish you used your other part of your name for the “Nation” opening
