Millionaire Reveals “7 Things I Wish They Taught In School”
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 Vanderbilt 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.

There’s a huge difference in quality between actual successful people like Alex or Patrick Bet David vs the videos from Dan lok, tai, and cardone. They have good information you can piece together but the entire video feels like an up sell. I definitely enjoy the content Alex is producing. Keep it up!

@@sashaa6175 I agree with some of the things you said but not all. If Alex decides to sell... It doesn't mean he is full of shit. Most of the gems he gives us for free should be sold. He's actually showing his whole struggle to the top while still learning on the job.

It resonated. Communication is the bridge to getting almost whatever you want. If a man believes he cannot do it no amount of effort will get him to do it.

This video really inspired me to try and work on these things. What can feel frustrating is knowing you’re deficient in an area of life but not knowing exactly how to improve. If I could surround myself with people such as yourself I think breakthroughs would happen so much faster. It’s difficult because we’re so used to our comfort zone in life, friends and family that will not be the source of that leveling up.
Love these, Alex. Where can I find you diving into your current philosophical beliefs & specifically how they've evolved over time? Thanks man!😁❤
Love the video partner, your aiding in my self development everyday!
So much value! 👏👏👏 so refreshing … inspires me to start making videos again on here 👍
Thankyou Alex, really helpful!

This is officially my favorite KZread channel. I really appreciate these videos.
Alex your videos are a gem, can you please share your favorite reads for entrepreneurs
This channel is a hidden GEM. Alex you and your mustache are fantastic. Cheers brother!!
Alex you have changed my life thank you for the content. The best channel on KZread.
Great information. I watch Alex every day.
Great content. I would add at the foundation level „learning how to learn“, which is not taught well in schools and which most people don‘t master, but it is probably one of the most important skills one can have.

Solid Value. Thx Man
Excellently explained
Alex is definitely a beast at explaining it difficult aspects of the Game really appreciate all the Gems you Drop hopefully one day soon be able to express the ideas in my own life to help others overcome Mental Blocks and Grow Thanks Alex
I love your videos Alex. When are you going to hold a large Master Mind Group Event? I'll come.
Kaizen!!!!!! You just nailed it. The best method of learning is by teaching. We retain 90 to 95% of the information when we teach it. We also correct are mistakes much faster than if we just learned it passively. Also remember how humans learn, which is through there senses and social and emotional attachments to content or to the teacher.
Great stuff man, Thank you. Honestly your content has been incredibly valuable for me, surely for others as well. Super proud to see a fellow Iranian at this level of succes. Respect.
I always acknowledge that it is so lucky that Alex and I live in the same timeline of MEDIA.
Thank you this was great
such great video!!
Great video
Absolutely! Essential life skills. I’m Always learning . I’ll send my kids to your school any day. 😮🎉
liked and subbed. love it.
Would be so helpful if you had a video talking about learning resources that touch on the major aspects of being an entrepreneur
WOW I CAN TOTALLY RELATE TO MOST OF EVERYTHING YOU EXPLAINED THROUGH OUT THE VIDEO !! ITS LIKE YOU WERE DIRECTLY TALKING TO ME IN PERSON .
Just found your channel Alex and bloody hell man, WOW! I thank you for doing this so much. I wish I was taught this when I was a kid, I feel I would be in a totally different place. You said you have 13 companies, I want to just get 1 underway. How do you source/identify what business is best to get involved in as that is what I want to do. I just want to get kick-started in the right direction. Hope you don't mind me asking you as I know you are super busy and much more in demand than answering my question. Many thanks for any consideration on this question. :-)
Wowowow so good . Thank you beyond words🙏

Great content. Can you do a video for the philosophical point. I believe that it's one of the most important things. Even if you have loads of money if you don't know how to live your life you will always be miserable. Appreciate the moment. Thank you!
Emotional has been a HUGE one for me as the business has grown. It was something I never thought about before having my biz. And the great thing about it is... you're never done improving it.
