I think the idea of thinking you are worthy or feeling like an imposter is about starting. Everyone starts at 0. It isn't possible to have something without trying. You have to tell yourself you belong there before you have achieved the goal.
The issue is that some people believe they're not even worthy of TRYING to achieve whatever they have in mind. So to say "I'm a billionaire" 3 times in the morning in front of the mirror might be stupid, yes. But this idea that you're ONLY worthy of something or someone once you've got there, will create this unfair perspective and distance that you are nothing at the current moment of your life! And I beg to differ, for even at your worst moments in life, as long you're willing to get up and do it again; to be brave, you still have a shot at winning in life. So yes, you must be humble and be okay with going after what you want and most likely failing (same as learning) at first attempts. Just don't forget that the conviction of "I know I can do this, I'm worthy of the life I want, THEREFORE I'll work hard to make it a reality" will always be the starting point of anyone's success story. IN. MY. OPINION. Great day everybody, God bless.
Re: "You're not making as much money as you want because you're not as good as you think you are" - There's a major caveat to be aware of here, which is understanding systems, and with corruption the playing field can potentially be impossible; why people will move towards freer places, e.g. the American Dream; but then you're wise enough to see and navigate that.
In many other places, especially third world countries, there's no playing field due to the wide spread corruption and the extremely high bar to enter any market/position. In such places you are not actually competing for opportunities, they are all taken (nepotism, bribery...etc) hence you find yourself with the majority fiercely fighting for the leftovers.
^The mindset of someone who can’t come to grips with the fact that it’s 100% their fault that they aren’t where they want to be. Blame the corrupt system and circumstances all you want. That will just ensure you never reach your potential
@@AKracecars no, this whole statement just omits the fact that not all skills can lead you to success in your environment. Being the most brilliant mathematician in modern Afghanistan won’t get you anywhere, same as being the best fisherman in the desert. You still have to be lucky enough to be good at specific skills that are beneficial in your current environment, and that is completely different for all of us.
@@AKracecars I can see and do totally understand where you are coming from. I do also realize that just blaming other external factors for one's misfortunes takes power to change and make progress from you and justifies doing nothing and I am totally against it. But blinding yourself to reality will result in leaving you broken in the end. How could you reach your destination, if you're not aware of the playing board?
@AKracecars and I suppose you have reached your potential? There's no gusrantee that reaching your potential makes you exceptional, which is OP's entire point.
I have to praise you respect during the interview, despite Alex Hormozi not understanding properly de full spectrum of the impostor syndrome implications, you tried to redirect bet then you let him speak and moved on. Bravo.
4:44 He's right! Radical honesty as mentioned by Dr Anna Lembke is a way to avoid the mindset of scarcity--of which imposter syndrome is an example of--so if you want to limit those thoughts, be as radically honest with yourself as possible.
I think we shouldn't mix self worth with skills. Stuff can be learnt, so in the end it's all about being honest and accepting who you are and what you have. Everyone is worthy. Not everyone is qualified. So yeah, I'm basically saying self worth is a fixed value, self esteem is about all the stuff you done well, the progresses you made, the good you bring to the community and it's never late to add something to this stack.
@@ranamahadfarooq8932 Well, the logic behind my statement is that we are all human beings, we work pretty much in the same way, but our experience is different. So we end up with different opinions, traumas, tools, priorities, challenges... Also we live in this world so far from our natural instinct... It's a challenge understanding how to live. What matters in life. Some people think they know and so they don't question themselves anymore. So, what does it mean that people are more worthy than others? It can only make sense about the circumstantial stuff, like, who deserves the promotion in the office, but it doesn't impact the core of our existence. We are just complex animals capable of arbitrarily judging what's good and what's bad, based on how we feel (which we may not fully understand) and the info we have (which may be wrong or incomplete). And then we try to do our best accordingly.
People worthiness doesn't depend on how much they make. And plenty of competent, high-achieving people have impostor syndrome. Guys like him are good for motivation, but often says a lot of bullshit
It’s a negative framing of attaining your desires. The outputs are sometimes uncontrollable and all you can do is strive towards progressing towards your goal out of your own drive, motivation and why for as long as possible but why would you choose to demean yourself with this lens? The joy of being on the journey strengthens commitment to the cause which then produces results eventually. This type of self talk is destructive and ineffective. He seems to thrive on shitting on himself till he gets the output 😂
This is strangely so freeing for my ambitions. For example, I want to be a full time content creator. It’s so freeing to recognize “I suck,” cuz now the next question becomes- well what am I going to do about it?

Inspiring wisdom! Alex Hormozi's perspective on becoming exceptional is a powerful reminder. Thanks for sharing the key insights towards personal and professional excellence!
The only way to grow is to try different things and learn what works and what doesn't through failure and iteration. That concept is what I am trying to learn from with this UA-cam channel and my other project that focuses on international embassy and cultural events. That being said, some mental affirmations can help but not to the point of delusion out there. Mindset can help make those repetitive and boring actions that require you to compound success, but it is not the end all be all.
I definitely think it's much easier to take such a (somewhat radical) stance when "you have it" as Mr Alex said. Especially when you are at the bottom, and trying to build a bullet proof mentality/ habits/ system that actually works. Along the way, if you hold such a view, it will be extraordinarily demotivating and will make your patience run out way faster. Not to say the contrary is fully true. One must be humble enough to recognize the fact that he/she doesn't have it, but also that it's okay to not have it and that consistently striving to have it with objective measures matters too. Also lying to oneself along the way is okay, not too much that there's a gap between reality and that your view becomes so flawed you can't even see through that fantasy. But enough so that you can cope with the pain of existence. A person that is totally none worthy wouldn't get out of bed or do anything productive cause by definition he/she is a "piece of shit" by definition.
It is interesting because I have seen this argument on the other side of the fence for those "who have it" and "those who do not". I think there is wisdom (no bad pun intended in taking some things with a grain of salt). Use their knowledge and experience to your benefit, but realize that the actual stuff won't happen until you put in the reps and work.
The fact that Alex kinda knows what I regularly feel and has a remedy for it always seems to surprise me and get me thinking that maybe am on the right track.
Yeah dude you should buy all three of his books. He’s basically a prophet that will guide you to success and happiness if you just open your wallet for him.
Agree. Sad his take on people and goals. When he is older he will change his mind. I have more respect for doctors, teachers, etc than just someone worth over $100m
There's a term called breaking a horse. Money has broken the human being like the horse wrangler breaks a horse. You suck ? Well take away the rich mans money and you will find out who sucks and who is hopelessly dependant upon money to survive. Drop you guys off on a deserted island we here you have no money and have to survive within the wilderness. You will find out who the real men are. In the movie. The never ending story he must face the magic mirror gate. Were men must face their true selves. Kind men find out that they are cruel. Brave men find out they are cowards. And most men when faced with their true selves. Run away screaming.
If you think anything said here is wise, let me burst your bubble: people who are worthy of making millions don’t always. People who aren’t worthy of it do. This isn’t the rule, but it’s also not particularly unusual to see an exceptional person unrewarded and an unexceptional person rewarded. You’ll see it happen more and more in life if you’re honest with yourself. If you assume that people who make lots of money do so because they’re good at what they do, you’ll make a lot of bad decisions. I’m doing you a favour here. Also avoid life advice about how there are no shortcuts and hard work will get you places from a guy who is very obviously injecting human growth hormone so he can have big cool muscles.
"You only have imposter syndrome because you are an imposter" is nonsense. "I don't struggle with imposter syndrome because I've done what I said I've done" is nonsense as well. It's as if these people on these types of podcasts are willfully obtuse just so they can try and show just how deep or insightful they can be. Imposter syndrome is a very real thing and it applies to people who have actually done the work and shown the competence for something, but for some reason feel a sense of anxiety as if they aren't good enough to be there and may be found out eventually. Dismissing all that because you haven't felt it before is weird.
Its sad that we live in a day that what Alex is saying isn't self evident. I used to ne a preacher (Motivational Speaker) with a lot of older folks in my chuirch. I would say things and I could see one or two of my older members basically laugh (I was 35). I aksed why and they would pat me on the back and say: "Give it some time." THANKS Chris and Alex, you two have an amazing chemistry. I'll also say... a LOT of the self help folks - "Manifestation" folks were FLAT BROKE before they wrote a book on the subject. The lady who wrote The Secret? Yep. And guess what? That Sh!+ dont work. SOOO glad you all are in this space.
"the only way to excellence that I know for real.... There will be toil The man in the mirror nods his head Because the mountains don't give back what they take." -jetstream Sam on excellence
It can also be down-right exhausting! In a world where everyone is telling you are behind and you oughta hustle to survive, you sometimes feel like you are living life wrong or something. Continue working at your own pace but realize you need rest and creativity to pursue those same goals!
This is only true if the exact opposite is also true. Wild. So much discourse lacks empathy. Makes sense why. Our system sucks. Nothing is this simple, but to understand the message maybe it's a provisional exercise.
After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.
As a kanye fan and a mohammed ali I disagree. I believe talking it into existence. Embodying what you want to become till you have it. Saying it before anyone sees it. Thats true confidence to me, when its obvious to you and impossible to others
I agree with his summary of giving yourself permission to suck. I definitely completely disagree about imposter syndrome. You have some of the most awarded and decorated achievers in their field, who still experience a level of imposter syndrome or aspects of imposter syndrome. I think it is always about feeling like you’re not quite where you wanna be, but it definitely doesn’t mean that you’re the teacher who hasn’t done it before.
I love these big cinematic episodes, but they’re starting to feel “too big”. As the sets evolve, the guests appear to be further away from each other and a little bit less intimate. The content though, banger as always! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
The world is far too nuanced to make generalizations the way that he does. Take the you are worthy, for example. I know a few people who are married, and in relationships, who are not worthy of the person they are with. Assuming that, because you have someone, you are worthy of them is a false assumption. You really might just be lucky.
It is interesting because sometimes people make it by being simply being in the right place in the right time! But to get there, you have to open doors through yourself with experience, patience, and consistence! Just my two cents, cheers! :)
I think he completely misses the point of why people want to convince themselves they are worthy. They spent their formative years believing they weren't because of unhealthy, possibly abusive conditioning. Believing you are worthy. Is believing you are AS worthy as others. It's about evening the playing field to begin the journey. To help create the momentum to make the leap. If you're talking about success, then sure. Bring those receipts. But worthiness is really linked to self-esteem, more than it is success. Self-esteem built from what you have done or what you have rather than who you are is flawed imo. It's removable. This guy does accountability better than lots. Personally, I found his energy negative and depressing. To be fair, I couldn't get halfway through. Maybe that works for him. But for those of us who have had others drag us down for lots of our lives. I don't think being so consistently hard on ourselves will end up being a healthy strategy in the long term. Self-acceptance isn't about settling. And then not working towards things. It's about valuing yourself. Learning how to view yourself consistently through your higher self. After watching and enjoying your interview with Steve Bartlett, I was curious about other interviews. But I think my feedback from this one is that your podcast is very male focused. If that's your intention, great. Perhaps it's unfair for me to even comment 😆 But there you go. 😂
Get the idea from where its comming from but thinking about inherited wealth (which is like 90% of wealth) most of the rich people do not deserve to be rich.
I see Alex’s point… but imposter syndrome is more like how Maya Angelou thought she was a bad writer… so what he is describing are actual imposters (people who haven’t done what they are teaching)
But also the people who did stuff sometimes they just dont have the skills to teach stuff. Tim Grover is not a NBA player who actually got a ring but he teached and coached Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. You do not need to be to teach or to know. Otherwise school would have no teachers. The only way to do stuff is to follow a good coach or a good book or your soul. It's the action you want to walk that path. It's a journey the adventure is the gift. In the book the slight edge the guy say he was a surfer bum got rich and become poor again and became rich again and he said: I WAS NOT DIFFERENT, the only thing that change was my ACTIONS. IT's not who you are your identity or stuff like that .. it's your actions.... that's it.. How many singer have messed up life? How many rich guys are caught into scandals?(DSK, P.Diddy and so much more) They want to make you believe you have to be that perfect entrepreneur that perfect guy with a pristine morning routine. Don't believe that crap. Entrepreneur is just making a business make money and that's it. If nobody know that you have a dirty secret or you do not make your bed it will not break your business as long as you do the stuff that make your business succeed nobody care about you. You are just an entrepreneur it's just a job in that big society. Just different that the common stuff but not esoteric it's learnable that's why kids take back daddy business. You do not need to have blue blood or buy 10 thousands books or online course to do it. Just learn the skills ask questions and apply and rinse and repeat.
I think there's a lot of wisdom here, but he's got imposter syndrome just wrong. Imposter syndrome is when you don't internalize your success, even though you HAVE IN FACT ACHIEVED IT.
I think a person standing alone with nothing to gain speaking truth from a selfless place speaks volumes more than some workaholic claiming "you're wrong because I did the work". That being said all this comment derives from is ego, and there is no world in which selfless actions need explanation. Your truth is powerful but I don't buy that it's entirely selfless.
This is only half true. Successful people can also feel like an imposter when they are labeled as something they did not exactly set out to be. For example, a successful comedian can feel like an imposter if they are labeled as some sort of savior for making light of topics no one wants to talk about. The comedian did not set out to be any sort of savior. He/she just wanted to make people laugh and talk about things that are relatable or interesting to people.
Guru’s you shouldn’t trust: 1) millionaires whose starting point was an already wealthy family 2) people who claim to be extra wealthy but have the constant need to promote themselves online 3) people obsessed with their appearance

A man to break into the top 0.01% of all men needs to have got a 3.8 or greater GPA from a top university, masters degree, marathon sub 3.30 hrs, can bench press 315 for 8 to 10 reps and networth over $10 million.
There’s certain people who don’t have what they “Deserve” in life… that’s the exception. Maybe it’s a matter of time for those people… it’s also possible circumstances get in the way and prevent them from being who they were meant to be. But I understand the general point, that many people who use the kind of language he’s referring to are, in fact, full of shit.
You know the answer. The latter, by a statistically unreasonable margin. You’ll have noticed, as have I, that plenty of guys in gyms now (incidentally of all races and ages) have anywhere from impressive to great physiques. The whole distribution has noticeably skewed towards the top-end of the prior physique spectrum. For example, the guys whose body-type would be a 95th percentile rarity in the ‘60’s are now the top 10 or 15% of the population. So, not only would I argue that my statement is true, but I’d also argue that it has *been* true for some time now. It isn’t easy to be useful enough to a system, comprised of billions of people and unthinkable technological and economic complexity, to scale your income to the status of elite. Particularly when the world’s leading entrepreneurs and doers driving or generating this wealth are literally (in many cases) the most driven, healthy, intelligent and motivated people on the planet (or are at least in control of those who are). Particularly again when the wealth disparity is growing fast (in-real-time) and prevents us from reaching the information ports or network positions required for income/power scaling due to intractable network effects which generate an increasingly unbridgeable “rift” between the powerful and the rest. So, if you’re subtly implying that Alex is unlikely to have achieved his success through extremes of effort, discipline or talent, proportional to his current success, when we don’t seem to know what he’s good at other than having a 90/95th percentile body (which makes him the top 1/3 or 2/3 of gym users), then your implication is astute. It’s objectively more likely that he was pulled into power by others (and is cognisant of his success as fluke), or that he cheated or gamed the system somehow in a dishonourable way than that he’s achieved success through genuinely extraordinary achievement. To answer your question with a question, if I may, can you name one thing that Alex has demonstrably 98th or 99th percentile talent or skill in? And even if so, can you demonstrate or articulate how this is useful?
Personally I think the latter. Elite physique requires a couple of simple rules that if you can stick to consistently --- You WILL achieve. Elite financial success requires also requires the same, but I think there are a LOT more moving parts, and skillsets that you have to learn.
Depends on your starting point, but I'd generally say a physique is easier because the only variable is you and your choices while finances require your actions to comingle with others for success
@@danielclarke5391 I could be wrong about the latter bro but I think you’re mistaken about building wealth. Someone said to me ‘there’s a difference between being a millionaire and billionaire’ and I subsequently thought long and hard about that. Then it clicked. It isn’t that they were saying ‘bro, you forget that there’s a factor of 1000 separating the two tiers of wealth- as if millionaires and billionaires are companion categories 😂’. What they were pointing out is that they are _literally_ two different worlds in terms of wealth and power. You know what I said about networking effects before? Bear that in mind. The millionaires operate on a social network far removed from mine and yours. That’s granted. And billionaires, too, operate on yet another network, in _some sense_ removed from both the millionaires and ourselves (although connected to and often in control of the latter). Now, here’s (roughly) how it works. Millionaires *get to* reside on _their_ particular network because the *overall* network function they’re fulfilling is the distillation and communication of indirect messages from the “Elite” class (billionaires and beyond), sometimes under their direct guidance, but at very minimum according to the limitations imposed by those Elite (again, the billionaire+ class). When the Elite come across people who are “useful idiots”-too proud and narcissistic to simply do as they’re told but otherwise somehow useful-then they manipulate these idiots into positions of influence according to their own general interest (just as the King moves his men throughout his Kingdom, often without either their express consent _or_ knowledge of the bigger picture). But here’s a *crucial* point: the millionaire class (comprised largely of influencers of whatever variety) are in a highly unstable position of relative power. This is true for two reasons, fundamentally: 1) Everyone wants to be be where they’re at. Everyone else is therefore chomping at the bit to replace them. 2) They got to where they’re at because they were manoeuvred into that position according to the interests of the _real_ Elite, and are thus eminently replaceable because they generally aren’t actually _that_ talented. Therefore, the likelihood of their building intergenerational wealth is slim-to-none (meaning that even if you somehow replicated their success you’ll have nothing to show your children for it), and the likelihood that you’ll replace any one of these idiots is equally slim given the sheer ratio of people outcompeting you for their pedestal (a pedestal granted to them by the billionaire class I might remind you). So, when millionaires are selling you “get-rich” schemes, they are either _purposefully_ lying to you, or they are simply too stupid and deluded to realise that, if they weren’t pulled into power, they at very least tread a thin red line. Those who successfully climbed into the orbit of the real Elite from among their ranks (a class of multi-millionaires whom we might call _courtiers_ if we want to be anachronistic) call this type of charlatan a ‘grifter’. They are literally snake-oil salesman. Whether they realise it or not is irrelevant. So, how do you enter the millionaire class? You either get chosen by the Elite from the literal millions of other people with equal ability competing for that position of relatively marginal power & limited responsibility. That’s obviously an effectively random process (from your perspective), and one yielding an outcome too unstable to justify the effort. Alternatively, you literally just *randomly* stumble into an opportunity by some miraculous happenstance-occurrence- like spilling coffee on a hot tech mogul’s billionaire ex-wife and… 😉 …you get the idea… Yeah- one in a several-million-something chance of that happening. And also _completely_ random. So how do people generate billionaire wealth and establish global leverage and power? By literally being _so competent_ across a wide range of skills that you’re capable of leveraging monumental control and internationally scalable value within a global economy in which billions of people are _hypothetically_ competing for the same position, and in which literally millions of people _actually_ are. And that means being so monumentally talented that you’re effectively one in a million people, if not a billion. Literally. So, while not random, you have to ask yourself this question seriously: ‘Am I capable of, or _could_ I be capable of, outcompeting millions or billions of people in my respective field/ area of innovation? If you answered this with uncertainty, hesitation, or a ‘no’, then that’s why there isn’t a clear-cut path to multi-billion pound wealth- unless you’re pulled into multi-million pound wealth by those multi-billionaires, which we already established is _effectively_ stochastic and random.
The elite financial success I would argue! I mean I don't have a lot of personal experience with the second one, but with the first one, I am reasonably fit myself. Not claiming to be an elite lifter or anything, but I believe if you put consistent work and drive you can achieve it. Financial success is something different. It requires understanding of how to market, how to sell, how to do a bunch of different things with different skillsets. That compounds over time and experience. Just my two cents! Cheers! :D
I disagree with his definition of imposter syndrome. He's putting every person under a broad term giving us advice but it depends on different people, different circumstances, different experiences. He might be stating facts but not every fact has to apply to every situation.
He has a skewed take on the progression of a career. There are people born to play instruments, create new medicines, and invent new tech. They may not be there yet but they are on the way and they are very much worthy. I’m sure when he had $100 in his bank account at one point in his life he wasn’t sitting there dwelling saying to himself “I’m not worthy”…
Hormozi is a genius and a tough mf! I can imagine him being a war general for a past generation commanding his army to slaughter everyone. “Of course the women and children” with a blank stare. He is definitely willing to make the tough decisions lol

The joy of being on the journey strengthens commitment to the cause which then produces results eventually. This type of self talk is destructive and ineffective. He seems to thrive on shitting on himself till he gets the output 😂
I was just listening to this and he sounds so up himself. This is one of those podcast clips with lots of talking and very little content

This is strangely so freeing for my ambitions. For example, I want to be a full time content creator. It’s so freeing to recognize “I suck,” cuz now the next question becomes- well what am I going to do about it?

So good
1:24 "You're not a goddess 'cause you don't control me." Ooof that one had me laughing 😅 Well said, Alex
Inspiring wisdom! Alex Hormozi's perspective on becoming exceptional is a powerful reminder. Thanks for sharing the key insights towards personal and professional excellence!
The only way to grow is to try different things and learn what works and what doesn't through failure and iteration. That concept is what I am trying to learn from with this UA-cam channel and my other project that focuses on international embassy and cultural events.
That being said, some mental affirmations can help but not to the point of delusion out there. Mindset can help make those repetitive and boring actions that require you to compound success, but it is not the end all be all.
Iteration means nothing without correction and improvement.
My dad told me guys go to the gym and lift weights mostly to impress other men.
I definitely think it's much easier to take such a (somewhat radical) stance when "you have it" as Mr Alex said.
Especially when you are at the bottom, and trying to build a bullet proof mentality/ habits/ system that actually works. Along the way, if you hold such a view, it will be extraordinarily demotivating and will make your patience run out way faster. Not to say the contrary is fully true. One must be humble enough to recognize the fact that he/she doesn't have it, but also that it's okay to not have it and that consistently striving to have it with objective measures matters too.
Also lying to oneself along the way is okay, not too much that there's a gap between reality and that your view becomes so flawed you can't even see through that fantasy. But enough so that you can cope with the pain of existence. A person that is totally none worthy wouldn't get out of bed or do anything productive cause by definition he/she is a "piece of shit" by definition.
It is interesting because I have seen this argument on the other side of the fence for those "who have it" and "those who do not". I think there is wisdom (no bad pun intended in taking some things with a grain of salt).
Use their knowledge and experience to your benefit, but realize that the actual stuff won't happen until you put in the reps and work.
The fact that Alex kinda knows what I regularly feel and has a remedy for it always seems to surprise me and get me thinking that maybe am on the right track.
stay careful though, never trust blindly
Yeah dude you should buy all three of his books. He’s basically a prophet that will guide you to success and happiness if you just open your wallet for him.
@@nickcustodi592 hmmmmm
Alex doesn’t deem anyone’s worthy if they’re worth less than a billion dollars. It’s sad
Agree. Sad his take on people and goals. When he is older he will change his mind. I have more respect for doctors, teachers, etc than just someone worth over $100m
There's a term called breaking a horse. Money has broken the human being like the horse wrangler breaks a horse. You suck ? Well take away the rich mans money and you will find out who sucks and who is hopelessly dependant upon money to survive. Drop you guys off on a deserted island we here you have no money and have to survive within the wilderness. You will find out who the real men are. In the movie. The never ending story he must face the magic mirror gate. Were men must face their true selves. Kind men find out that they are cruel. Brave men find out they are cowards. And most men when faced with their true selves. Run away screaming.
Needed this, thanks
Cant wait for this episode to go live
Alex's physique and mindset is inspiring.
We just have to keep trying❤
Love how emotional Alex gets.
Why?

Best ad intro I’ve heard all year
The only thing we are truly experts on is our own lives
Even that is shaky
If you think anything said here is wise, let me burst your bubble: people who are worthy of making millions don’t always. People who aren’t worthy of it do. This isn’t the rule, but it’s also not particularly unusual to see an exceptional person unrewarded and an unexceptional person rewarded. You’ll see it happen more and more in life if you’re honest with yourself. If you assume that people who make lots of money do so because they’re good at what they do, you’ll make a lot of bad decisions. I’m doing you a favour here.
Also avoid life advice about how there are no shortcuts and hard work will get you places from a guy who is very obviously injecting human growth hormone so he can have big cool muscles.
Thank you. This was 8 minutes of nothing.

"You only have imposter syndrome because you are an imposter" is nonsense. "I don't struggle with imposter syndrome because I've done what I said I've done" is nonsense as well. It's as if these people on these types of podcasts are willfully obtuse just so they can try and show just how deep or insightful they can be.
Imposter syndrome is a very real thing and it applies to people who have actually done the work and shown the competence for something, but for some reason feel a sense of anxiety as if they aren't good enough to be there and may be found out eventually.
Dismissing all that because you haven't felt it before is weird.
He doesn't understand what imposter syndrome is lmao
Its sad that we live in a day that what Alex is saying isn't self evident. I used to ne a preacher (Motivational Speaker) with a lot of older folks in my chuirch. I would say things and I could see one or two of my older members basically laugh (I was 35). I aksed why and they would pat me on the back and say: "Give it some time." THANKS Chris and Alex, you two have an amazing chemistry. I'll also say... a LOT of the self help folks - "Manifestation" folks were FLAT BROKE before they wrote a book on the subject. The lady who wrote The Secret? Yep. And guess what? That Sh!+ dont work. SOOO glad you all are in this space.
This is so true.
Yep, I love his pragmatic approach and ideology. I just haven’t dreamed big enough but I’ve gotten everything Ive set my mind & work on
So keep going

It can also be down-right exhausting! In a world where everyone is telling you are behind and you oughta hustle to survive, you sometimes feel like you are living life wrong or something. Continue working at your own pace but realize you need rest and creativity to pursue those same goals!

Where is the full video
This is only true if the exact opposite is also true. Wild. So much discourse lacks empathy. Makes sense why. Our system sucks. Nothing is this simple, but to understand the message maybe it's a provisional exercise.
where can I listen to full version of this podcast?
After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth.
I have nothing to prove, not even to myself.
I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others.
If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off.
I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them.
I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it.
I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.
That’s an awesome comment man. I love it.
amen
You had me till the last line. The only thing people deserve are the consequences of there actions. Saying anything else feels like a lie to me
As a kanye fan and a mohammed ali I disagree. I believe talking it into existence. Embodying what you want to become till you have it. Saying it before anyone sees it. Thats true confidence to me, when its obvious to you and impossible to others
I agree with his summary of giving yourself permission to suck. I definitely completely disagree about imposter syndrome. You have some of the most awarded and decorated achievers in their field, who still experience a level of imposter syndrome or aspects of imposter syndrome. I think it is always about feeling like you’re not quite where you wanna be, but it definitely doesn’t mean that you’re the teacher who hasn’t done it before.
I love these big cinematic episodes, but they’re starting to feel “too big”. As the sets evolve, the guests appear to be further away from each other and a little bit less intimate. The content though, banger as always! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
Always waited for Alex's podcast!
He just upset 99.99% of the ladies😅
The world is far too nuanced to make generalizations the way that he does. Take the you are worthy, for example. I know a few people who are married, and in relationships, who are not worthy of the person they are with. Assuming that, because you have someone, you are worthy of them is a false assumption. You really might just be lucky.
or.. they are.
Ye people are usually worthy when born with good genes or into wealth.@@timvanbeek1103
It is interesting because sometimes people make it by being simply being in the right place in the right time! But to get there, you have to open doors through yourself with experience, patience, and consistence! Just my two cents, cheers! :)
I think he completely misses the point of why people want to convince themselves they are worthy.
They spent their formative years believing they weren't because of unhealthy, possibly abusive conditioning.
Believing you are worthy. Is believing you are AS worthy as others.
It's about evening the playing field to begin the journey. To help create the momentum to make the leap.
If you're talking about success, then sure. Bring those receipts.
But worthiness is really linked to self-esteem, more than it is success. Self-esteem built from what you have done or what you have rather than who you are is flawed imo. It's removable.
This guy does accountability better than lots.
Personally, I found his energy negative and depressing.
To be fair, I couldn't get halfway through. Maybe that works for him. But for those of us who have had others drag us down for lots of our lives. I don't think being so consistently hard on ourselves will end up being a healthy strategy in the long term.
Self-acceptance isn't about settling. And then not working towards things.
It's about valuing yourself. Learning how to view yourself consistently through your higher self.
After watching and enjoying your interview with Steve Bartlett, I was curious about other interviews.
But I think my feedback from this one is that your podcast is very male focused.
If that's your intention, great.
Perhaps it's unfair for me to even comment 😆
But there you go. 😂
the boss babes with 200k in student loan debt are going to love this one
Get the idea from where its comming from but thinking about inherited wealth (which is like 90% of wealth) most of the rich people do not deserve to be rich.
the skool community promotion is awesome 😁😁😂
Watching these short videos before you release the full podcast is like being stuck edging for days on end until the good part finally arrives
I see Alex’s point… but imposter syndrome is more like how Maya Angelou thought she was a bad writer… so what he is describing are actual imposters (people who haven’t done what they are teaching)
Table looks a little high and almost silly. Knock down 4” and you’re good
so im not worthy of having a job at mcdonalds? Nice
well that's clearly not a goal you're aspiring toward. very dishonest criticism
But also the people who did stuff sometimes they just dont have the skills to teach stuff. Tim Grover is not a NBA player who actually got a ring but he teached and coached Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. You do not need to be to teach or to know. Otherwise school would have no teachers. The only way to do stuff is to follow a good coach or a good book or your soul. It's the action you want to walk that path. It's a journey the adventure is the gift. In the book the slight edge the guy say he was a surfer bum got rich and become poor again and became rich again and he said: I WAS NOT DIFFERENT, the only thing that change was my ACTIONS. IT's not who you are your identity or stuff like that .. it's your actions.... that's it..
How many singer have messed up life?
How many rich guys are caught into scandals?(DSK, P.Diddy and so much more)
They want to make you believe you have to be that perfect entrepreneur that perfect guy with a pristine morning routine.
Don't believe that crap.
Entrepreneur is just making a business make money and that's it. If nobody know that you have a dirty secret or you do not make your bed it will not break your business as long as you do the stuff that make your business succeed nobody care about you. You are just an entrepreneur it's just a job in that big society. Just different that the common stuff but not esoteric it's learnable that's why kids take back daddy business.
You do not need to have blue blood or buy 10 thousands books or online course to do it. Just learn the skills ask questions and apply and rinse and repeat.
I think there's a lot of wisdom here, but he's got imposter syndrome just wrong. Imposter syndrome is when you don't internalize your success, even though you HAVE IN FACT ACHIEVED IT.
Alex's super power is literally saying the most obvious things in the simplest way possible. No BS period !!!
Please bring Luke Belmar to the podcast
I think a person standing alone with nothing to gain speaking truth from a selfless place speaks volumes more than some workaholic claiming "you're wrong because I did the work".
That being said all this comment derives from is ego, and there is no world in which selfless actions need explanation.
Your truth is powerful but I don't buy that it's entirely selfless.
This is only half true. Successful people can also feel like an imposter when they are labeled as something they did not exactly set out to be. For example, a successful comedian can feel like an imposter if they are labeled as some sort of savior for making light of topics no one wants to talk about. The comedian did not set out to be any sort of savior. He/she just wanted to make people laugh and talk about things that are relatable or interesting to people.

A man to break into the top 0.01% of all men needs to have got a 3.8 or greater GPA from a top university, masters degree, marathon sub 3.30 hrs, can bench press 315 for 8 to 10 reps and networth over $10 million.

There’s certain people who don’t have what they “Deserve” in life… that’s the exception. Maybe it’s a matter of time for those people… it’s also possible circumstances get in the way and prevent them from being who they were meant to be. But I understand the general point, that many people who use the kind of language he’s referring to are, in fact, full of shit.
Learned absolutely nothing from this segment
I would ask Alex this: What is harder to obtain 1) an elite physique or 2) elite financial success? And why?
You know the answer. The latter, by a statistically unreasonable margin. You’ll have noticed, as have I, that plenty of guys in gyms now (incidentally of all races and ages) have anywhere from impressive to great physiques. The whole distribution has noticeably skewed towards the top-end of the prior physique spectrum. For example, the guys whose body-type would be a 95th percentile rarity in the ‘60’s are now the top 10 or 15% of the population. So, not only would I argue that my statement is true, but I’d also argue that it has *been* true for some time now.
It isn’t easy to be useful enough to a system, comprised of billions of people and unthinkable technological and economic complexity, to scale your income to the status of elite. Particularly when the world’s leading entrepreneurs and doers driving or generating this wealth are literally (in many cases) the most driven, healthy, intelligent and motivated people on the planet (or are at least in control of those who are). Particularly again when the wealth disparity is growing fast (in-real-time) and prevents us from reaching the information ports or network positions required for income/power scaling due to intractable network effects which generate an increasingly unbridgeable “rift” between the powerful and the rest.
So, if you’re subtly implying that Alex is unlikely to have achieved his success through extremes of effort, discipline or talent, proportional to his current success, when we don’t seem to know what he’s good at other than having a 90/95th percentile body (which makes him the top 1/3 or 2/3 of gym users), then your implication is astute. It’s objectively more likely that he was pulled into power by others (and is cognisant of his success as fluke), or that he cheated or gamed the system somehow in a dishonourable way than that he’s achieved success through genuinely extraordinary achievement.
To answer your question with a question, if I may, can you name one thing that Alex has demonstrably 98th or 99th percentile talent or skill in? And even if so, can you demonstrate or articulate how this is useful?
Personally I think the latter. Elite physique requires a couple of simple rules that if you can stick to consistently --- You WILL achieve. Elite financial success requires also requires the same, but I think there are a LOT more moving parts, and skillsets that you have to learn.
Depends on your starting point, but I'd generally say a physique is easier because the only variable is you and your choices while finances require your actions to comingle with others for success
@@danielclarke5391
I could be wrong about the latter bro but I think you’re mistaken about building wealth. Someone said to me ‘there’s a difference between being a millionaire and billionaire’ and I subsequently thought long and hard about that.
Then it clicked. It isn’t that they were saying ‘bro, you forget that there’s a factor of 1000 separating the two tiers of wealth- as if millionaires and billionaires are companion categories 😂’.
What they were pointing out is that they are _literally_ two different worlds in terms of wealth and power. You know what I said about networking effects before? Bear that in mind. The millionaires operate on a social network far removed from mine and yours. That’s granted. And billionaires, too, operate on yet another network, in _some sense_ removed from both the millionaires and ourselves (although connected to and often in control of the latter).
Now, here’s (roughly) how it works. Millionaires *get to* reside on _their_ particular network because the *overall* network function they’re fulfilling is the distillation and communication of indirect messages from the “Elite” class (billionaires and beyond), sometimes under their direct guidance, but at very minimum according to the limitations imposed by those Elite (again, the billionaire+ class). When the Elite come across people who are “useful idiots”-too proud and narcissistic to simply do as they’re told but otherwise somehow useful-then they manipulate these idiots into positions of influence according to their own general interest (just as the King moves his men throughout his Kingdom, often without either their express consent _or_ knowledge of the bigger picture). But here’s a *crucial* point: the millionaire class (comprised largely of influencers of whatever variety) are in a highly unstable position of relative power. This is true for two reasons, fundamentally:
1) Everyone wants to be be where they’re at. Everyone else is therefore chomping at the bit to replace them.
2) They got to where they’re at because they were manoeuvred into that position according to the interests of the _real_ Elite, and are thus eminently replaceable because they generally aren’t actually _that_ talented.
Therefore, the likelihood of their building intergenerational wealth is slim-to-none (meaning that even if you somehow replicated their success you’ll have nothing to show your children for it), and the likelihood that you’ll replace any one of these idiots is equally slim given the sheer ratio of people outcompeting you for their pedestal (a pedestal granted to them by the billionaire class I might remind you). So, when millionaires are selling you “get-rich” schemes, they are either _purposefully_ lying to you, or they are simply too stupid and deluded to realise that, if they weren’t pulled into power, they at very least tread a thin red line.
Those who successfully climbed into the orbit of the real Elite from among their ranks (a class of multi-millionaires whom we might call _courtiers_ if we want to be anachronistic) call this type of charlatan a ‘grifter’. They are literally snake-oil salesman. Whether they realise it or not is irrelevant.
So, how do you enter the millionaire class?
You either get chosen by the Elite from the literal millions of other people with equal ability competing for that position of relatively marginal power & limited responsibility. That’s obviously an effectively random process (from your perspective), and one yielding an outcome too unstable to justify the effort.
Alternatively, you literally just *randomly* stumble into an opportunity by some miraculous happenstance-occurrence- like spilling coffee on a hot tech mogul’s billionaire ex-wife and… 😉
…you get the idea…
Yeah- one in a several-million-something chance of that happening. And also _completely_ random.
So how do people generate billionaire wealth and establish global leverage and power?
By literally being _so competent_ across a wide range of skills that you’re capable of leveraging monumental control and internationally scalable value within a global economy in which billions of people are _hypothetically_ competing for the same position, and in which literally millions of people _actually_ are.
And that means being so monumentally talented that you’re effectively one in a million people, if not a billion. Literally. So, while not random, you have to ask yourself this question seriously: ‘Am I capable of, or _could_ I be capable of, outcompeting millions or billions of people in my respective field/ area of innovation?
If you answered this with uncertainty, hesitation, or a ‘no’, then that’s why there isn’t a clear-cut path to multi-billion pound wealth- unless you’re pulled into multi-million pound wealth by those multi-billionaires, which we already established is _effectively_ stochastic and random.
The elite financial success I would argue! I mean I don't have a lot of personal experience with the second one, but with the first one, I am reasonably fit myself. Not claiming to be an elite lifter or anything, but I believe if you put consistent work and drive you can achieve it.
Financial success is something different. It requires understanding of how to market, how to sell, how to do a bunch of different things with different skillsets. That compounds over time and experience.
Just my two cents! Cheers! :D
i am among us imoproster
Trying to hard to sound wise....
Blá, blá, blá... the importance of words ⁉️ DEEDS...
This guy should wear a suit. Or laid back classy. Gym clothes make it hard for anyone to be taken seriously.
Agree restraunts kick him out constantly
This is not true. People diminish their accomplishments all the time. And they forget their achievements.
I disagree with his definition of imposter syndrome. He's putting every person under a broad term giving us advice but it depends on different people, different circumstances, different experiences. He might be stating facts but not every fact has to apply to every situation.
This guy is on the juice, too much talking not enough lifting the heavy weights
what are these boys reading for goodness sake!?
Skkol
He has a skewed take on the progression of a career. There are people born to play instruments, create new medicines, and invent new tech. They may not be there yet but they are on the way and they are very much worthy. I’m sure when he had $100 in his bank account at one point in his life he wasn’t sitting there dwelling saying to himself “I’m not worthy”…
I'm angry because part of what you're saying is more true than it isn't.
what basic conversation made complicated now that's imposter at its finest , pair of egg heads
Hormozi is a genius and a tough mf! I can imagine him being a war general for a past generation commanding his army to slaughter everyone. “Of course the women and children” with a blank stare. He is definitely willing to make the tough decisions lol
