    Alex Hormozi is a first generation Iranian-American entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. In 2013, he started his first brick & mortar business. Within three years, he successfully scaled his business to six locations. He then sold his locations to transition to the turnaround business. From there he spent two years turning 32+ brick & mortar businesses around using the same model that made his privately owned locations successful. After that experience, he packaged his process into a licensing model which scaled to over 4000+ locations in 4 years.
    Over that same four year period, he founded and scaled three other companies to $120M+ in cumulative sales across four different industries (software, service, e-commerce, and brick & mortar) without taking on outside capital. He has scaled and exited 7 companies. His most notable exit was his majority sale of his licensing company for $46.2M in 2021.
    And now, let’s jump right into Episode 1,324 of The School of Greatness with the one-and-only, Alex Hormozi!

      They do see reality. They just focus too much on it and don't focus on anything else. Everybody who has ever been successful had a lot to overcome their reality as well. They focused more on the future, otherwise, they wouldn't have tried. A lot of LOA folks like to daydream and try to not see reality. But that doesn't work. They need to see reality and still believe in the future to have success.
      But the worst thing they do is envy others' success or consider money as evil. Nobody ever get rich if they don't have positive view about money.

      This is so true. I was one homeless and realised my hard work for my old job equated to nothing she decided to do eggs at I could do and build from there.
      I borrowed a lawn mower, a trimmer, put up free local ads, and after only about a month or so i looked at my revenue and realised -considering hour for hour spent compared to my old job- I made as much in a busy weekend than my old job in a WEEK.

    I enjoy and respect Lewis and Alex tremendously and get so much out of their content and interviews. Speaking to the portion in this interview about self worth I would offer that it is 100% an inside job that you ultimately will never get from any external conditions or success. Anything external will simply never be enough. Hence the need for more. You’ll find eternal self worth and value from doing the inside work of learning to love yourself unconditionally. This has been my work for years and I can now look in the mirror into my own eyes and feel boundless love in my heart and know that I am enough. Knowing that you’re enough sets you free. Keep the interviews coming guys you are both brilliant and your work is changing the world and having such a positive impact. ❤

    Most people dont even know what questions to ask or that they should be asking these questions…..It comes down to education…….and good luck in a public school anymore. These videos on utube are amazing, nowadays almost anyone that wants to know can find out ! I have had adhd my wholelife and ive really grown mentally just from utube. Im 60 now but im mentally like a normal 25 yr old. I was 14 five years ago! The point the man on the right made about people needing to overcome mental issues is so spot on and until a person can realize that they even have issues that have affected their thought process and their perception of reality its hard to move forward because it’s painful to realize your whole reality in life is off….most people wont go there for this reason, the anxiety of looking intoyour own thougts to figuer out why you believe what you have believed can be so stressful it physically affects you and most just cant go there. You end up in a very uncomfortable state when you are breaking your ego. You cant have a big ego and TRULY be successful. The dark haired guy will get there though because he has admitt to himself that he has this issue and its all smoother sailing from there!

      Be authentic and vulnerable (see Brene Brown)
      Don't define your self by what you have. Toys are meaningless in and of themselves and having $$ and the nice car does not give you a license to be an asshole.
      Get enough sleep and get up at 5AM, practice yoga/workout daily, meditate/mindfulness daily, and stop eating so much pizza!
      Action is better than education. The MBA is nice, but learning by doing is better.
      Learn to not trade time for money.
      Learn to use other people's money.
      Learn sales and leadership.
      Burn more bridges. It's okay to have people not like you. If you have critics then you're probably doing something right.
      Take 100% responsibility for your life and get into action (see the theme?)

      Don't waste time re-watching. Just have a positive view about money and the rich lifestyle. And be really really hungry for money. The LOA gurus try to tell you, you need to think u already have all that, that is just not true at all. Every successful people or crazy rich people never thought they would be so successful, they were hungry for money or success. They were not pretending they had it all.
      It's just an excuse they use to defend themselves when you didnt manifest, they would say...oh you just wanted it too much, u need to pretend u already have all that. So they are free from any blame, you will get the blame instead.
      These people get successful by telling people what they want to hear, and monetizing it, writing books about it. And then they also get other rich people (who did not become rich by LOA coaching) to speak about all these by offering them money for speaking in conference and book deals etc.

    I have to ask a question: if everyone gains and leverages skills so they’re earning more and more, who does the basic jobs that we all rely on someone doing? We can’t all run a cleaning business for instance - someone has to do the cleaning! Shouldn’t we be valuing those doing such work more and paying accordingly and consequently enabling these workers to live, have job satisfaction and feel appreciation for their work? With this kind of acknowledgment of individuals contributing to society the ‘trapped’ poverty mindset probably would disappear.

    • @brickellvoss7739
      @brickellvoss7739 2 роки тому +192

      I agree with what you are saying. These videos do prove a lot of points. Sure with enough discipline/hard work anyone could be a millionaire. The way our society is set up some can take advantage of it. But not everyone can become a millionaire. I do think we need to start showing lower earning people some respect. They shouldn't have to struggle as much as they do. And not everyone's personality is suited for achieving so much wealth. If this sort of thing interests someone then this video could be helpful. But overall I feel this video is a passive insult to those in poverty.
      If we got rid of the survival state that traps people in poverty then I feel this weird obsession with earning wealth will dissipate. There is trauma and personality disorders that cause a lot of road blocks as well.
      People should be able to just be a cleaner and not have to worry that getting sick will financially ruin them and potentially make them homeless. I feel like these videos lack compassion for the human condition and further perpetuate the situation we are in.
      I am also saddened that I had to go hunting to find someone who also saw this. Makes me feel like so many people are brainwashed and hoping for something that will never happen to them. Instead we should be trying to make things better for everyone, not just trying to climb on the backs of people to get rich.

    I love the dog sitter story and I find the gem is when Lewis says that it didn't happen overnight, he was exhausted for years, he build his brand, etc. The exemple is simple, the business is simple but the work, the effort, the journey is not. Sometimes we can get discouraged when something simple doesn't bring fast results. But simple isn't easy and everything has to grow with time. We forget it in this age of faster, stronger, better but it's the reality. Reminder for myself.

    (through no fault of my own)
    We are humans and are NOT designed to live every hour of your life in physical PAIN and hurting.🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ This ended up infiltrating every crack and crevice of my life. In the end…family loss, career loss, no friends and homebound.
    What do you recommend for someone LIKE ME who has a reality that is not a norm?
    Please give advice?
    I am so lost.
    I am looking for a better life SOMEHOW even though I will never be free from this physical PAIN.
    ❤😊When I was younger (before 29),..I never gave a single thought about waking up every day WITHOUT PAIN in my body. It was just a given, as I planned my days, years, life. We think things like “I hope I don’t ever get Cancer, I hope I don’t ever have a bad car accident “,..things like this. We don’t normally think,..”I hope I don’t ever end up in incurable PAIN for life”. In my worst nightmares,…I never could have come up with such an absolutely grueling existence as having some things in your body nonstop and it is NEVER going away.😑
    Unthinkable.
    I’m 58 now. The only way to be FREE from this physical pain hurting me,..is to die.
    I don’t really have any good choices here but to continue on hurting and trying to just get through each hour. One hour at a time. I had my life all planned out….THIS was not anywhere in my plan.
    Hey EVERYONE,…appreciate your pain free body ! It is HUGE in being able to achieve your LIFE GOALS. Just saying…..❤😊

    And at the same time, being happy that the next generation is able to achieve more than he did at their age, because he has published his courses and helped them learn to do it better and earlier.

    44:44 - I just closed a business I ran for a decade in July due to looming legislation. I felt great, like I was just freed from a burden... but within a month, I was lost. For a decade, that business was my identity... and now it was dead... it was my own symbolic death, and I started living in limbo... I feel the vision comment in response is accurate. I had a clear vision, I got up everyday with a clear purpose, and I was considered an expert. Now, I'm no one going nowhere. I'm in search of my new goal to get me out of this state...

      You’re having a Dark Night of the Soul experience and Carl Jung spoke about this. You need to find a new vision and purpose and gradually build towards it to redefine meaning. Once you define that you can approach it 2 ways: (1) Define the end game and work backwards; or (2) Start from the beginning and follow the path the bread crumbs lead. Either way, if you’ve bottomed out, things will eventually improve.

      This is a phenomenal skill if you want to do sales, other than that, it's a useless waste of your time. My career is in data analytics. It depends on what you want to do. I make great money, but am not rich. HOWEVER, I would not do sales if my life depended on it. If you do sales, you have no ceiling but you also have no floor. It depends on your skills.

    Being distracted by playing video games, or watching movies, I think that might be a small part of it. In my opinion the real distraction comes from the employer wanting people to work all the time, that's the major distraction. They want to take away peoples time and energies to stop people from achieving their dreams and getting away from the drudgery.

    • @brickellvoss7739
      @brickellvoss7739 2 роки тому +18

      Maybe another distraction is lack of funds to live? Like lower wage people. So I think some employers are used to their employees working overtime... its not because they want to get ahead but because they need it. With prices going up and rent being unreasonable for who knows how long... Survival is a distraction. If people earned enough with reasonable hours then they could easily pursue so many other avenues. But we are all built differently and each persons tolerance for stress is different. Human mind is a crazy thing and it does trick you, but I think in large is the cultural situation that is the biggest distraction of all. If people were not struggling to live and being taken advantage of by people trying to make a such a high profit. Then this weird obsession with obtaining wealth wouldn't be so prevalent.

    • @lilchristuten7568

      The real distraction is people making money their god.
      People spend so much time going after money by taking jobs with long hours and taking second jobs and sometimes third jobs just to try to get some extra money, and they end up breaking themselves down and leaving themselves with no time or energy for anything else.
      They will also spend irresponsibility on attempts to get money like lottery tickets and bad investments and gambling.

    • @effervescentrelief
      @effervescentrelief Рік тому +3

      As an employer I have no desire to take away any extra time from employees than what they've contractually signed up for. But due to the nature of some jobs, those extra hours are needed. I want people to go home and see their families, I want people to have a good quality of life, but crap happens and so does overtime. Luckily in my field people are well compensated for their time and I have no problem paying it. Employers aren't evil monsters out there hoping to crush the dreams of those who work for them. They are simply people doing a task just as the employees. The real question is do they realize the time being asked of their employees? A big struggle now is even finding people to fill positions who actually want a job. That could be a factor. Your employer may themselves simply be a cog in the machine of a corporation with some boss over them who has demands. Employees are not slaves and can leave at any time from any job, always remember that. If they choose to stay, then they either don't mind or they have set limiting beliefs and fear that they won't be able to find anything else and so they shackle themselves to the job.

I just finished reading a book, The Courage To Be Disliked, that shares Alfred Adler's psychology in the form of a dialogue. It speaks directly to what you were talking about around the 1 hour mark of this interview (why do we need external recognition/approval). This book and Adlerian Psychology is a game changer.
