Alex motivated me a lot.
I'm not in business but music. I been DJing since 2007 and actually became successful making it my work. But during COVID I lost everything even my house my wife and child I even had to sell my music studio to buy food. I had nothing to fall back on because I dropped out of school to follow my dream in music. I ended up even living in my my old house at my mom at 29 years old. I had no drive to start because I couldn't even afford the equipment to make music or fix my DJ playlists.
I had so much debt that I couldn't even have a normal job because the government would just take straight from my salary through court. I was so depressed. After watching a lot of Alex's videos I decided to quit everything I was doing and focus on music again even though I had nothing I didn't even have a laptop to fix music.
I started just like I did when I was 16 making my playlists in internet cafes and reaching out to clubs and bars. Now 4 months later I got 2 regular gigs in some of the best clubs around here and I already have requests to fly over to another country for DJ residency.
I had not even a dollar to my name and now I can buy all the equipment I need!!! And I got a very nice appartment. Thanks Alex. I needed to hear your stuff badly.
Wow, such an inspiring story! Keep going brother, you deserve a lot more than you got now! Don't lose focus!!
Good for you man, keep on truckin'.
i don’t know you but i’m proud it makes me happy to hear people winning, continue working hard my friend
This episode reinforced to me a principle that I NEVER forgot once I came upon it some years ago "LEARN TO RECYCLE YOUR PAINS". We are taught to see pain as such a negative emotion but when recycled correctly it can become the most positive progressive fuel to our personal evolution. Thank you to Alex Hormozi for reminding me of this today. Great dialogue between you both. Be Elite Today People!!!
That last part from Alex is really noteworthy. To realise you've been trying to win at someone else's game, rather than your own. To redefine what the game or success means to you.
For me visualisation plays a huge part - I use mediation and visualisation techniques to produce two images in my mind:
1) The person I will become if I repeatedly DO this action
2) The person I will become if I repeatedly DON'T DO this action
Once I have visualised these 2 outcomes it's abundantly clear which choice I have to make, and removes the motivation component of it and replaces it with pure logic
I made videos exploring these topics which I think you'll enjoy if this mental framework resonates with you
@@johnman559 Health does not "fail" somewhere along the line you failed your health. So go back and see where then reverse the damage. The human body can do wonders.
@@327radar As someone who has lectured in Health for most of my adult life, I'm going to say, with vastly more authority than you, that you are talking BS. Your health will fail too, regardless of what you do or say child🤣🤣🤣
For anyone trying to live up to their parent's expectations, imagine your life for the next 10+ years just trying to maintain their approval. And how exhausting and squandered your life will be. That should be the fuel for turning your life around.
what if your the only one why works to keep your parents doing what they can? Parents are 84 and still want to live. Have to help until you dont
@@rhondabenson2629 Yeah that's a really tough situation. I'm in a similar boat rn so I can empathize. Parents are in their 50s and I'm the breadwinner at 24. Every family dynamic is different, but for me personally, I know I need to emotionally disconnect more from my parents bc I don't want my life to revolve around theirs. As for what happens when my parents get senile, I don't have a good answer for that. I've been asking myself that question for years now, what do I do when my parents get old, and the default has always been, I'll look after them, but as I get older and think more about what I want, I feel their dependence on me restricting my options.
Edit: I think at the very least, if you're the one making the money, you shouldn't have to listen to what they say(what to eat, who to marry, what religion/lifestyle/life choices to choose, etc).
For anyone dissing your parents because they only brought you into this world, raised you, paid for your existence for 18 years... but didn't fully support you in your adult choices... GROW UP. Don't be an ingrate like this guy. Nobody owes you nothing. Your parents did so much for you that you're ungrateful for
@@JohnJohnCrusher My parents are far from perfect, but I'm not judging them for it. They're just ppl at the end of the day. If I hold myself to these parental expectations, I'm never going to be satisfied with them. But there are just things I want for myself and the reality is that I can't achieve them if I limit myself to making them happy. That's why I have to disconnect.
Edit: I'm far from an alex hormozi fan, I just agree with him on this one thing.
People from the west are crazy. Ur parent only wants what best for always.
thank you chris needed this now more than ever.
We do what we have to do, no ifs or buts...repeat after me; WE DO. WHAT WE HAVE. TO DO.
You got this, eyes on the goal, at all times.
Interesting take on things. I like how negative visualization can be used as a motivator for what you don't want (magnetic repellent). It can be used in conjunction with positive visualization (magnetic attraction). The one thing that is common for all of us is self image (images based on our interpretations of the outer world and who we are in relation, or defining oneself and walking their own path). We act out what we believe to be true about ourselves, and most will struggle trying to repair themselves, when all they need is to alter or create a new self image. Real change happens when we change our self image. Self image psychology is that important. Read PsychoCybernetics and you'll understand.
Thank you for this. My story is similar to Alex when it comes to my dad. Definitely resonate when it comes to being a child of immigrants.
Chris you should really get Firas Zahabi on the pod. He has great energy.

Love this interview. ❤
Totally off topic. I just watched The Slow Poison of an Endless Fantasy. Wonderful! Very well narrated. 😉
Excellent. Thank you.
Big Facts
It's not your parents job to believe in you. If they weren't able to achieve as much as you, it's because they don't see it being possible, which is their reality. Him not believing in you, may have actually helped you achieve your dream.
That's a good point. Also, Alex seems totally ungrateful for all that his parents actually did do for him. Pathetic really
Is this like the chad with dad issues episode?
lmao kinda

Why your content is way different than the title. Its clickbait.
All titles are click bait. That’s their job. It’s a great video
I don't think basing life changes off negative emotions is a solid plan.
Me neither. That's achieving to prove others wrong, or prove something to yourself. You should be motivated to do things out of love and compassion and awe
You’re absolutely right. All that positive visualization crap is absurd. The only thing you need to “visualize” is this time next year if you don’t take some kind of action.
PS:
Your Dad wasn’t really a prick. People like that are just not explorers. They cultivate stoic perseverance rather then courage. My father was the same in terms of the way he lived his own life but regarding how he interacted with me he pretty much didn’t. Personally I’d have preferred an adversarial relationship than virtually none at all. I really don’t know who the hell he was. The most positive example he set for me was his stoic misery as a high school teacher. Consequently I was never seduced by that horse shit factory called academia and was entrepreneurial from the git go. Unfortunately I never “succeeded”
In the financial sense but I did succeed in living most of my life on my feet instead of on my knees like my cowardly father.
sounds like you have some unresolved issues.
@@5uperM How exactly would you define a resolved issue? Sounds like pseudo intellectual psycho babble to me.
@@zarlok5294 well for one you treat everything as an attack on you. and also you belive that anything someone says that isn't put in simple terms must be false.
Why can't you do both? Carrot and the stick. If you only give yourself the stick then you'll never feel a greater purpose for what you're doing. Seems to border self-hatred which is definitely not a way to live your life.
@@5uperM You seem to have some preconceived notions from some sort of academic platform. I have no idea what you’re trying to say. You strike me as possibly a young fellow either currently in college or recently graduated. There’s no such thing as a “resolved” anything friend. Life flows. You ride it and navigate it as you can. You simply accept, forgive, and move on doing the best you can to live as painless and satisfying a life as you can and pursue a harmonious relationship with the realities of your existence as a unique human being. Ultimately we all simply die and that is part of the acceptance of the facts of our existence.
This guy definitely has some good points from time to time, but something seems off about him.
Feel that. Not a fan
I completely agree. His robotic nature is weird.
@Kevin S ummm idk, i more don’t like the fact that bro joined a frat and that somehow made him an expert on “doing hard things” lmao
He's got some inner issues. You can see it in his eyes. He's not at peace. Holding a ton of tension. He'll realize too late that he's squandered his life... Ironically
He's a big grant cardone fan so kind of a red flag in terms of integrity.
Great Twitter thread title. Yikes man.
this podcaster has some bad followers...there is too much judgment and smugness
