4 steps to start a business anyone can do

Want to SCALE your business? Go here: acquisition.com
Want to START a business? Go here: skool.com/games
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.

    It can be intimidating at first, yes. But a little research puts those fears at bay. Starting an llc is as easy as filling out an online form, picking a name, and paying a fee. Bingo bongo its done. Then you need to find a way to get paid, personally I use quick books, but there are other services. Then you need to do the hard part which is actually finding customers.

The next day they all arrived at an Airbnb and I had their new shirts and hats, a thank you card and an advance on their first 2 weeks pay in cash on their seats. Off to the races!! With things like square space, legal zoom, vista print shit and now chatgpt, there’s literally no excuse to why launching a business should take more than a week or two to be honest. But when you have other peoples livlihoods who are putting their faith in you to deliver… all this stuff can happen incredibly fast!

    @@tajbirsingh5205 Not really. That's nice, but not realistic. With as many businesses that exist, you think every owner has a passion for their business? Nope. Hopefully, they're effective or at least have effective people. I've been self-employed for 35 yrs. and had many businesses. If your business makes money, you'll love what the money and freedom with do for you and your family, but telling people they should have a passion I think is BS and misleading. I never had a lot of money to "start up" anything, but what I lacked in capital I made up for in effort. All I wanted was to find something or do something that would pay the bills and let my income grow as I got more effective or smarter. And loving the journey is BS too, because sometimes the journey is a long agonizing, walking with barefeet through the desert on broken glass while being stung by African Killer hornets journey. So I'd say aim for something you know makes money and is sustainable.

    Being an entrepreneur is not easy guys but don't be discouraged. Here's good points. 1. Solve a problem and offer a better solution. So dont think of an idea. Think of a problem to solve. This is very important. 2. Go after niche markets that you can dominate and once you enter have majority of market share, you offer a better solution to your specific group of customers. 3. If you don't have large reserves of money it will be hard to compete in mature markets. So target fast growing markets or find a way to offer a differentiated solution So live in the future and build something you really want and it solves a problem. And have mindset and visualization where you want to be do this daily. You have to read: Think and grow rich, and 7 habits of highly effective people, and zero to one.
