Mindset and Language in Achievement
📌 Words shape biochemistry and create emotional responses; using positive language, like swapping "duty" for "opportunity" or "joy," is crucial for a fulfilling mindset.
🧠 The speaker emphasizes that contribution is the ultimate enjoyment and fulfillment comes from having something bigger than oneself to care about, outweighing mere pleasure derived from material gains.
⚖️ Distinguish between "push motivation" (duty, obligation, willpower) and "pull motivation" (serving something larger than oneself), noting that while willpower is strong, pull motivation provides constant endurance.
🚫 The concept of "suffering" as necessary for passion should be replaced; pain is part of life, but suffering is an option, leading to the creation of happiness rather than waiting for it.
Identity and Growth
🧍 Human identity is the controlling force; people tend to remain consistent with past identities, but to progress, one must consciously choose to expand their identity (e.g., moving beyond "Analytical Alex" to "Anabolic Alex").
🎢 Growth is what makes us feel alive; achieving great success (like walking on the moon) without subsequent challenges leads to stagnation and potential downfall.
🔄 Avoid the "law of familiarity," where constant exposure to good things leads to taking them for granted; this necessitates seeking new "moonshots" or elements to re-ignite passion.
Actionable Impact and Financial Strategy
🎯 Moonshots for contribution provide massive energy and drive; the speaker achieved a goal of feeding 1 billion people in 8 years, a target that required radically different thinking than previous achievements.
🏘️ For business owners, maintain two businesses: the primary operating business and an investment business to build wealth and mitigate risk if the main venture falters.
💰 Historically, average private equity has returned 15.7% compounded annually over 39 years, significantly outpacing the S\&P 500's 9% average return, highlighting the value of alternative investments.
✍️ The speaker's second major initiative stemmed from anger over the 2008 financial crisis, leading to interviewing 50 successful self-made individuals to find common success factors, resulting in the book *Money Master the Game*.
Key Points & Insights
➡️ Shift from Duty to Joy: Reframe obligations as opportunities and recognize that fulfillment comes from contribution, not just meeting personal needs.
➡️ Identify Your Best Self: Consciously choose which version of your personality ("Analytical Alex" vs. "Anabolic Alex") is leading your efforts and prioritize the one associated with joy and high energy.
➡️ Set Unreasonable, Emotionally Connected Goals: Define a quantifiable, passion-driven "moonshot" target (e.g., helping 100,000 young men achieve $100,000 in bank account wealth within 36 months) that connects to personal past experiences of struggle or triumph.
➡️ Enroll in New Environments: To break old patterns and achieve higher levels of energy and happiness, get into environments that challenge current thinking and amplify positive states, such as the upcoming Time to Rise Summit.

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 $250,000,000+ 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 https://Skool.com, which is a platform for people to build communities online, making a living doing what they love, with people like them.
36 yrs old: I did a $106M book launch selling 3.6M copies of my $100M Money Models book, in 72 hours, breaking the Guinness world record for the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time.
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
