Billion Dollar Journey - with Alex Hormozi - EP 292

If there is a skill you want to learn or knowledge you want to acquire, the information is out there, whether that be through books, podcasts, or online. While consuming content and learning from others can teach you a great deal, the best way to learn is by actually playing the part and diving into whatever it is you want to do. Once you have the foundation, the information will be more likely to stick because it becomes applicable. Oftentimes, people get stuck in a consumption cycle and never actually apply it, but today’s guest is here to urge you to get started as he shares his billion-dollar journey.

Alex Hormozi is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. In 2013, he started his first brick & mortar business, and within three years, he successfully scaled his business to six locations. He then sold his locations and spent two years turning 32+ brick & mortar businesses around using that same model. He then packaged his process into a licensing model which scaled to over 4000+ locations in 4 years and he also founded and scaled three other companies to $120M+ in cumulative sales in that same time frame. Alex scaled and exited 7 companies and transitioned from CEO to the owner/shareholder position in these companies in 2020, and founded Acquisition.com as a way to invest in other businesses. Alex is known for his expertise in customer acquisition and monetization.

In this episode, Alex shares what he has learned from being who he wants to be online, and why he thinks so many people struggle to make content that converts. Alex explains how he learned some of the skills he applies in his businesses today, and why people fail to take action despite knowing what do to. He shares how he develops habits without having the “perfect” morning routine. Alex also dives into the 4 things you need to start a business, and the question everyone wants to know: What does content creation look like in the Hormozi household? Tune in for more.

Key highlights:

• The problem with a lot of content
• Who Alex has looked to as a mentor or teacher
• Alex’s views on college - is it necessary?
• Alex’s advice to start a habit
• Thoughts on morning routines
• What Alex learned from having a brick-and-mortar business

In this episode, Ed takes us through some life-changing lessons that are included in his book that will benefit anyone, no matter what stage you are in your life. Tony and Ed’s conversation brings out a side of Ed that no one has asked about before. Ed exposes how our society is programmed to avoid pain, which is keeping everyone stuck and repeating the history of those before us.

• Dealing with the recent loss of his father
• The concept of “Beginning with the end in mind” from Think and Grow Rich
• The concept of “memento mori”
• We all have visions on our life, the issue is depth perception, you think its further away than it is
• You are one decision away, one meeting, one relationship, one thought, one book, one podcast away from a different life
• Most people don't meet their highest self because they are not willing to go through the pain of getting there
• How Ed developed his listening skills as a child
• Truth bomb that’s hard to hear: “The most insidious form of child neglect is a parent not pursuing their ultimate potential. You’re instilling in that child that it's okay to settle.”
• Most lessons our kids learn are caught not taught
• We are programmed to avoid pain and not do hard things
• Successful people pursue the inconvenient thing
• How our parents instill their limitations in us
• Why Ed is different from other people on social media
• A different view of Ed: What his dogs mean to him
• How to balance being successful and maintaining your family/parenting
• Most people are operating out of their memory and history, but happy people operate out of their imagination and dreams
• How to get your kids to be dreamers and have high confidence
• Surround yourself with people that say “imagine when” not “remember when”
• Your identity is the thermostat setting of your life
• How to train your RAS (reticular activating system)
• Anger is the manifestation of fear
• The importance of finding emotional control in stressful situations: equanimity
• How his book will apply to everyone
• How to get access to Ed’s virtual event for free

Quotes from the episode:

• “It's not the events of our lives that define us, it's the meaning we attach to it.”
• “On the other side of temporary pain, you get introduced to your other self.”
• “What if the highest potential exists in something we haven't even started yet?”
• “Success is where your life matches the blueprint you have for it. You come up with a blueprint for your life and you get it”
