If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $200,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
How I got here…
21: Graduated Vanderbitl in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of Skool.com to help the many people who want to start a business online do so.
Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).
To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.
You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.

That's Me!, Thanks for always helping us younger guys out 🙏
@AlexHormozi One Alex to another, you are crushing the Alex game; I am so proud of you!
You make me a little prouder to be an Alex and I take Alexness almost as serious as Frogness.
Much love
Hi Alex, What if we are in our 50's?
Love this video Alex, would love more relationship videos from you. Its so helpful. yasmin
Alex, you're a legend. I'm 40 years old and you're like a big brother to me. Your book (vol 1) already doubled my freelancer income. This will hopefully help me find my 2nd wife. Thank you, my man!!
A wise man once said, "Stop focusing so much on trying to find the one and focus on being someone worth finding."
For sure, fully agree
110%!!
So true ☺️
... and attract gold-diggers. Bravo.

If you chase butterflies, they'll fly away but if you build a beautiful garden the butterflies will come. And even if they don't come, you have a beautiful garden
gay
I have a beautiful garden.
THanks. Yours took 2 seconds to get to the point while the video took over 27 minutes to say the same thing.
You might have a beautiful garden, but you're technically enjoying it alone if there's no butterflies.
Plenty of butterflies visit. @@smokingcrab2290
Alex gave way better and more constructive advice that actually helps than most if not all the dating advice gurus/industry
for real …
💯
exactly, its all manipulation in traditional dating advice. And that will just never last in a marriage. it can get you sex for sure, but what is even the benefit of that long-term.
@@emf2482 The irony which is also the reason Alex is giving such good advice here is that this isn't his niche. The people who are building a brand on being dating coaches have a vested interest in having their audience fail and having to come back for more content, courses, e-books, coaching calls, etc.
No he didnt.
I chose a mediocre person as a mediocre person. But 14 years have passed and we’ve both challenged each other to grow and be very skillful with life’s choices. The only thing that matters in the end is the degree to which you and your spouse are committed to living a life of virtue. All the rest is overthinking it.
"You have to be successful"
My retort, will she love you as much in the limo as the camry?
I don’t think somebody else willing to grow and change for the better is mediocre at all. You two never settled for mediocrity. I’m glad to hear that you two have challenged each other as people and added to each other’s lives for the better. THAT is hard to find.
Then you aren't mediocre
What a phenomenal example you both are to your kids. Love. God bless you all abundantly! 🤍🥳✌🏽
👏👏👏👏
“I only need to find 1 unicorn” just gave me so much hope
Unicorns are fictional animals.
Same
They’re real. I lost mine 😢
They’re real, but they’re all already married.
Look at the first comment.
Honestly, I never tought that I will hear the most clearest, empowering and sound dating advice from an entrepeneur channel.
Thank you Alex, you're awesome 💪💪🙌
Welcome. Probably the best channel on the ‘Tube.
Us entrepreneurs are kinda the shit.
"i can't believe that you would do that to your wife!"
"I also did it to me, and i like me too, so like what does that say?"
this portion cracked me up. Alex sure has a way with words.
this was funny af but also reassuring, like i forgot my own birthday this year aha
@thebengardneryoutubechannel Yeah I tend to forget mine sometimes too. I'll wake up to happy Birthday messages from people and be like "oh wtf it's my bday apparently"
He looks like the czech cartoon character Rumcajs, of the 60s...later it was acartoon series on tv.
Cobbler who became good highwayman.
Fellow singles out there, do not fret if you're single on Valentine's Day or just in general! It is not a bad thing to be single and I don't get why a lot of modern dating channels nowadays kinda put people down for being single.
Do not rush to get into a relationship with the wrong person, find them and get to know them by going on adventures and dates! It takes time to get a significant other and even then it may not work out.
Just do not become jaded and shut yourself off from the world, that's how life loses its beauty in all of the little moments! Cheers!
How do you not become shut off from the world? Other than work, what else is there where you can actually enjoy things without people taking the piss out of you?
Ok I'll just not rush for another decade 💀
Well said. The people I know who are most miserable are trapped in long term relationships
I broke up with my girlfriend yesterday, and went to bed last night considering this video. Totally changed my perspective on this event, which I consider a loss, but I feel much better knowing and remembering how different our values and goals are and I think that’s why it wasn’t working. Needed this!
Got married to my first boyfriend and I couldn't be happier. This year will be our 20th anniversary.
bless you guys❤
The chosen ones
I can t think of something more wonderful than that.
Then why are you watching this video?
@@djgregory8394 this video was made by a married guy, watching something doesn't mean its a reality.
This hit hard. I’m starting over in the relationship department at age 38. I hope I find my person where the sum of us both is better than each other individually.
I'm right there with you. It hurts. But, let's work on ourselves to become worth finding.
❤33 and doing the same thing.
I had a Leila that lost her job at Spotify and had to work with college students for how low she went. Associate producer of content that couldn’t even get 2K subs on UA-cam
Love that
Did you learn any lessons from your previous relationship?
This was a good father and son talk. Thanks Alex
Thank you father.
get some help @@cytroyd
daamn. it is just kinda crazy how nobody is talking about the forbidden ebook thats called crushanygirl
"Find your LEILA"
I love this guy. I gotta see this video, but that just popped out so bad, I had to say that. What a great man.
My leila blocked me mam..what to do?

2 great men who love each other
We broke up right after watching this video 💔
Bittersweet moment, but my partner and I have been clashing heads for months now. It started as little thing, then we both exploded on each other yesterday... We discovered a number of things and, most importantly, not sharing the same end goal.
The best part was, after watching this video, Alex structure of the video allowed us to have a genuine conversation. To be brutally HONEST, and we were. How cool! First breakup that ended so pure and full of respect 🙏
I'm really sad. It's by far the worst day of my life because I deeply care for him, but we both know we can't give up on our Own Dreams.
Note to self: Although it's the worst day of my life, I'm hoping this turns into the best thing life has given me. Thank you Alex & Leila for sharing the bright side of life ❤
Wow thats very mature of you too. So you watched the video together and agreed you weren’t compatible?
@905words9 that's right. We had a feeling a while ago though... Alex's video was nicely structured - it helped us narrow down our decision.
Wow!
Amicable breaks up are another level of pain, I went through my first one like that last year and been single since. I wish her the best
I hope you are doing better a few weeks later. God bless you, stranger
I find fulfillment in being single and focusing on my personal goals, hobbies, friendships, and self-growth. The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. It’s essential to be comfortable with who you are, whether you’re single or in a relationship. Always prioritize your happiness and well-being.
Sure, except when your happiness and well being includes another.
Do you tell the truth or do you deceive people who want more?
@@Emily-sf8wz It's just pop psycho-blabber. Humans are not wired to be by themselves (and if they are, they have issues, and it's good if they stay away from others); but neither were they wired to be with incompatible others. Finding the right relationship is a monumental task, it requires quite a bit of luck, and most in fact don't get it right.
@@Emily-sf8wz I am deceiving myself I think LOL
@roses6564 the comment clearly flew over your head because you are so determined on negating the original commenters experience. I too am single, and I quite like it. I'm comfortable with myself, I enjoy new hobbies and meet amazing people that clearly love to do the same things I do. Am I opposed to a significant other? No. But if I don't have one I'm OK. I'm OK with this life because I'm ok with me. I can sit alone in my own thoughts and be at peace and happiness. It's a priceless feeling. And I would rather this than to be with the wrong person, which is clearly what the man is explaining in the video and the original commenter is saying. We are comfortable. We are not opposed. There's a difference. Go touch some grass.
I'm currently divorced. Have been considering for the last several years about whether a relationship is right for me. This solidifies what I think already is that I need to get my life in order before I can ask somebody to be a part of my life. Appreciate this.
Step 1: date your homie
Bro dropped a digital love letter to his wife in classic Alex Hormozi style. Cute af.
i did the same....she blocked me

This is the type of stuff that would benefit anyone on any level. Being predisposed to this level of logic and communication in relationships is awesome. I love the reframing he does, simple takes but he breaks them down so they’re easily understandable. People have said it before but Alex is a pro at taking complex concepts and refining them for anyone. I feel grateful to have watched this.
I don't even know if I want a partner at this point in time. And yet this is all such a relief to hear. It is greatly appreciated!
Probably one of the best relationship related videos I've seen 👌
"Be successful" is good advice. I prayed for some direction in life and God told me to "simply focus on healing myself so that I can sit next to the world's most amazing people"
❤
What works for Adam might not work for peter. I However learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago my wife and I were on the brink of a divorce because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it..
is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is Suzanne Ann Walters
I will look her up. I hope this works for me too, I really miss her.
You wont regret it...
Congrats! God bless your relationship.
At the end is all about great communication, and creating all the right expectations.
This changed my perspective on partners, losing my self respect in this current relationship and I was still trying to make it work. Thanks Alex as always. Keep changing lives.
I don't think I've had anyone point out basically all my flaws, without actually pointing out all my flaws.
Man do I feel shit now... But on the positive side, I can see now where I've been failing so badly. Thanks, Alex!!!
It's so funny how Alex literally describes relationships in business terms
More people should think like this and maybe the world would be a better place, full of happier relationships.
I love it😂
because building relationships in business is a bit similar to building romantic relationships
Business is the paradigm of our era.
Well he does that with everything with like a hyperlogical systems based approach.
I’ve come to similar conclusions myself but to see Alex, someone who I deeply respect and admire elaborate on it is encouraging because it means I’m on the right track.
There's a lot of gems in here, I like the advice you give about being patient with dating.
One thing that I'm not completely on the same page on is the part about compromise. I don't think it's realistic for you and your partner to always want the same things for the rest of your life, and I see compromise as a necessary part for a healthy relationship. It *is* easier not to compromise, but there's also something beautiful about valuing the other person's happiness so much that you're willing to maybe give up something that makes you happy.
This was so touching and beautiful. Better than any relationship guru I’ve heard.
Best love and valentines meditations i have heard! Thank you!!!!
There are no words to explain how much I needed to watch this video today 🙏🏽(literally watched it twice), Leila has been such an inspiration to my journey the past 3 years and watching this video just makes me admire you guys so much more. Thanks for sharing and God bless your union forever. ❤
This was surprising helpful and had original content I haven’t heard elsewhere about relationships . The judging yourself by the wrong metrics was enlightening . Thank you for the post .
surprisingly
If you're reading this I pray you receive the highest form of love.🙏🏼💗
I receive ❤
Can't believe how perfectly laid out this is from Alex.
I wish you the same. Jesus loves you by the way!
Congrats on 2 million subs Alex. You deserve the absolute best.
I have literally watched 100's of dating videos.......THIS IS THE ONLY ONE,..... THAT HAS MADE PERFECT SENSE ! God Bless your work !
it just came at the right time for me !!! thank you so much for your clarity and kindness.
I love his metric of judging a relationship, "how much better they are together than apart"
Why LEILA is not in the comment section of this video? I would like to hear what she might say or think about this.
Wow! I am absolutely blown away at how helpful this was for me and can be for others! Great video! Thank you Alex! Saving it for myself and sharing it for anyone this can be useful to!
What a banger!!! So many gems, did not expect this. Probably one of the best relationship videos I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤
OMG! This is the second video I watched of Alex as I only discovered him today. I’m completely hooked on his amazing content. Absolutely incredible.
This is it. Exactly how I have felt in words have been broken down into the most logical sense. Thank you Alex.
I have a very attractive female friend that told me that the day after valentine’s she will break up with her guy. She just wants to get the presents and the restaurant. He knows nothing. He thinks the relationship is going fine.
That guy told me a week ago that he is sorry I’m spending Valentine’s Day alone and I should not be sad because eventually I will find someone.
I didn’t say anything but I would rather be alone today, than be him, sitting with a hot girl, not knowing she told someone she will break up the day after valentine’s.
He will soon discover or rediscover the gym
She has ugly character.
Immeasurable value in this one, Alex. Thank you so much for putting out all the content you do.
Alex, you're the best teacher I've ever met. Thanks, man. Wish you and Leila nothing but success and happiness
Soundtrack is fantastic and this is brilliant editing. Best yet soundtrack wise IMHO .
Bro! You’re spitting facts. You enlighten people on so many topics. Legendary Wisdom!! Thank you for everything!!
FIND A WOMAN WHO TOOK STEROIDS AND NOW SOUNDS LIKE A MAN? NO THANKS.
I recently went through a heartbreak, and suddenly I realised something watching this video. If I were so happy and had so much love to give to the wrong person, I can't wait when it's the right person.
Alex, my man. You teach me something new everytime.
Thank you.
Wow! So many nuggets in this video! I had to watch it twice. This should be the new standard for modern dating.
Amazigng video
Out of all the advice on this topic, this is by far the best I've ever heard.
This was one of the best videos I've seen lately on relationships/ marriage that is honest, practical and hopeful for singles. Thank you for sharing this.
Been struggling with dating apps and having high standards for potential partners and higher ones for myself. It's tough, but you've reaffirmed that it's the right thing to do.
Thanks, Alex. You have a new sub.
Absolutely the best relationship advice ever. Thank you
Jesus.. best relationship advice video I've ever watched and I've watched a few. So raw and real, and so true. Super helpful, would love more of this type of content
Being the person you are trying to find is the path forward. Awareness of our decent qualities and our not so decent qualities is key. I told a friend that i would be honest and forthcoming out the gate with any potential partner and she said, “You can’t do that! Not with these dudes out here. They can’t handle it and you’ll end up alone.” My response, “Im not looking for every man to handle it. I just need one.”
Hey Alex, I really enjoyed this video! I've been watching your channel for a while now and I honestly want to say I look up to you. I'm a 25 year old single guy that didn't have any male role models growing up and I'm trying to find my purpose in life right now. Your videos are awesome and I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work!
Amazing video. Alex, how the heck are you so wise at such a young age!? Mad props for the life you’ve built with Leila 👏
This is some of the best advice I’ve heard in a minute! I think your points are very valid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
The most beautiful video I’ve ever seen. 100% real and everything I knew deep in my heart directly from someone I look up to. Respect to you and Leila. Perfect mix of logic.
best alex content in a while! i love how he is just conversational and letting his idea freely flow. this has all the benefits of listening to an alex interview, but without having to fast forward through whatever the annoying host has to say.
Valentine's Day got a new perspective today. Wow!
Honestly the best and most real and honest video I’ve seen on finding the right relationship. So true 🥰
God. Tears. Some of the best valentine's true talk ive ever heard. Beautiful. and for the little I know, absolutely spot on.
I found her, sometimes she is more inspired than me, which gives me so much power to move on and on! Wish anyone such a partner. No pressure, no doubts, no lies, just following dreams together and go side by side.
I love the content, but one point stood out for me personally. I do not want a cheerleader cheering me on from the sidelines. I want a team mate, somebody that is in the game with me. Someone I can pass the ball to when I get tackled. I want to take on the world WITH someone, not FOR someone.
The way you articulate Alex, 👌
You got me really emotional here... Love you and the value of the content you give me! I will always have a memory of you in my heart!
Hope you will do it until forever man!
I love your definition of ambition versus entitlement for finding a spouse (and in life). It stops the pity party right in its tracks.
Thank you! I’m very glad you have Leila ❤
"I want you to be more of who you are"
Having a partner who loves you telling you that would give me chills. That's someone I want to be with.
Envisioning my future girlfriend/wife saying that to me would make me want to become better 1000x more than I already did.
pro i love your videos so much thanks for the value
Why is this the actual best relationship advice ive ever heard. Mersi Alex!!
This is genuinely the best. Thank you for this
Took me 32 years to learn all of this. And still my friends tell me my standards are too high. But I’m not asking for anything I don’t already bring to the table.
But make sure you secure someone in time, even if that means dropping some of your standards
People who believe in hookup culture and casual dating don’t even care about marriage anymore neither have a prospect for it. Valentine’s Day has become a meme in my book😂
they also don't have goals and won't amount to shit...
And thts their choice
This video came at a perfect timing in my life and validated how everything went wrong in my relationship. Now I have clear understanding and determination in knowing what needs to be done from now on. Thank you Alex!
you nailed it alex , happy for your guys partenship in life and wish you the best in the lifelong journey of growth and prosperity that a great marriage is!
As usual, you're OPTIMAL!
I'd love to share that sometimes it takes helping someone to understand what metrics you judge them on and why. Which could be the key to having them perform better at the metric you judge them on.
Though there could be an argument that if they don't already do it (generally speaking) there performance may never be at the rate you're seeking.
He married his Bro
The first three minutes of this video is exactly what I needed to hear, and I wish I heard it months ago. Thank you.
Relationship wisdom distilled. Truth.
Great work Alex.
This is great advice. Dont lose 17 years like I did.
Hit every nail on the head. Amazing. Thanks always Alex!
This is your best video, in my opinion, by far! Thank you! I needed to hear All That!
God bless the way you communicate.
Greatly appreciate this video. The simple concepts of the obviousness just makes so much sense. I truly believe this is a very very helpful and important video for a lot of people. Thanks
I watched it and it made me think of who I want to be with, it didn’t make me angry.
Way better than 99.5% of the “love experts” out there.
Thank you.
Honestly loving this type of insights ❤
Alex, can you explain how to know if what we want is really from us, or just what society tells us to want?
How does this change as time goes on?
Not Alex, mate but wanted to weigh on your question. You will find that by doing a deep dive into yourself and discovering what you want out of life, free from any external influence. Do an audit of where you are in life and create an anti-vision of what you would do if you stayed the same. Project yourself 10 years into the future with what your ideal life could be.
Really appreciate your time Nate, thanks for sharing 😊
This video is so packed with such well articulated knowledge that i wish i heard years ago! ❤
This is refreshing Alex! Thank you
LIELA HAS TO WRITE A BOOK!
$100M Teams!!!
That would be awesome
This is hand down better advice then most people in the industry give. No BS, no redpill and blue pill indoctrination, just straight sold advice
trash advice
@@australianpatriotwhat exactly is your advice?
be hot@@rubyattwood
Thank you man. It is great to hear men speak like this, instead of the dudes talking about deceiving women and just dating, wasting time and money for nothing in the end. We need more role models to not lose our hopes in this fast-paced world.
This is wonderful and comes just as the right time. Thank you Alex 🙌
Truth and love will always triumph
Damn Hormozi,
Another great video! I'm getting married this month here in Austin and found a lot of great nuggets here 👊🏾
From one internet stranger to another, congrats! :D I wish you a long, happy, and prosperous marriage in Austin! Seems like you found your Leila!
I hope you and him will be happy together
I wish all the best to you and your future wife. God bless you all.
@@thelifewithnate by the looks of you, your balls probably haven't even descended yet. I don't know why you think that your opinion even matters.
Love a lot about this! Keep delivering Alex, thank you!
Praying for you and your partner to live in happiness and peace and success for the rest of your lives 🥰
