Timestamps:

(3:17) - When it comes to franchises, it’s structured so that you’ll have enough to pay the bills. They're only looking to optimize to beat the return on capital of the stock market by a decent amount

(4:45) - If you decide to get into this industry, the best tip is to go to foreclosure sites because it’s the best way to find good equipment at an affordable price 

(6:29) - The landscape of the frozen yogurt place is a poorly competed marketplace, solely done by franchisors who are trying to sell as many locations as they possibly could, rather than build a brand

(14:59) - Lessons 1-3 from the froyo business: Give customers the ability to pick their own pricing by usage, redirect the prospect’s attention by order of your margin, & controlling the selection of variants you want to offer

Attention is the New Oil | Ep 461
44:04

Get them hooked, get their attention. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how his multiple beliefs about personal branding and creating content were thrown out the window after seeing highly influential figures do it, how “attention” is the new “oil” in business, and the factors you need to get that attention from your audience.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(3:28) - Alex was in living a reality where he thought that personal branding was not relevant at all up until he saw what it did to highly influential figures now like Kylie Jenner, The Rock, Joe Rogan, etc., Part of their success is contributed to knowing how to use leverage 

(8:47) - Scarce resources are the things that are the most valuable. And so oil was the scarce resource back then, and now attention is the new scarce resource. You have to understand that the output is the audience, not the content. 

(16:25) - If you think that you're gonna be in the game for a long time and you want to be as big as you can later while giving value to your audience, it takes an incredible amount of patience.

(34:30) - If you want something that's going to become huge, you need something that compounds and ideally even multiple forms of leverage.  The people who make the most money are the ones who have the most leverage because everybody has the same amount of time. It's just who gets the most back for their time. 

(39:41) - When getting into personal branding, it cannot just be all about you. You have to give something valuable to your audiences that they can take away with them after giving their attention to you.

(43:14) - When you're building the personal brand, you're actually not selling the software. You're selling values, you're selling ideals.

If you teach something new and they’re not able to tell you about it, that means they didn’t truly learn. Today, join Alex (@AlexHormozi) as he presents his keynote at Future Flipper to talk about his definition of “work”, the importance of creating volume and leverage when it comes to output, and the ways you will not get leverage. This is part 1 of the keynote speech.

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(4:06) - “No one can outwork me” is a phrase that you should never live by, especially if you don’t know the true meaning of “work”. Alex’s definition: Work equals output.

(7:28) - Volume is the number of times you move the lever. The leverage is the length of the lever itself that you're using. The output is how much you can lift on the other side.

(10:54) - If you want to make more money, you need to get more for your time and you need more leverage. Leverage is the difference between what you put in and what you get out.

(13:17) - There are 5 ways to NOT get leverage, Alex shares with us two: uninformed optimism, and dividing your focus to many other things.

(20:42) - If you want to do something epic, you have to be able to do the same thing for an extended period of time without convincing yourself you're smarter than you are.

(7:20) - Lessons 4-6: You get more out of reading just one book, most champions don’t have something you do, and goodwill compounds faster than money

(11:56) - Lessons 7-9: Death is inevitable, extraordinary accomplishments come from doing ordinary things, and if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

(17:11) - Lessons 10-12: Be willing to negotiate everything except for your values, humility, and the happy man has a thousand wishes while the sad man gets one.

(24:47) - Lesson 13: Failure leads to learning. Learning leads to success. Success leads to complacency. Complacency leads to failure. It's not a destination, it's not linear. It's cyclical.

Doing the Boring Work vs. Chasing Shiny Objects | Ep 456
19:44

Stay focused on the goal. Leave no room for distractions. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about why you should avoid opportunities that are potential distractions to your growth, not needing a fancy play to be successful, and stop thinking you are going to outcompete other people.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:30) - Just like in The Matrix, there are so many “women in the red dress” that are distractions & new opportunities. You have to learn how to say no to these the more you accelerate in your career, no matter how attractive they are

(3:55) - Success comes down to doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period of time without convincing yourself, you're smarter than you are.

(7:36) - You have to switch from new to better because the innovation already happened when you got the product market fit.

(10:46) - People allocate tons of attention, and tons of time to new strategies, new ideas, etc., rather than making the obvious truth. 

(14:31) - You don't need to have any fancy play to be successful. You just have to be willing to get consistent yardage. 

(16:30) - It is arrogant to believe that you are going to outcompete other people who are fully focused on one thing when you are split on five.

23:57

“No one can outwork me”... stop lying to yourself. Today, join Alex (@AlexHormozi) as he talks about the factors to consider when it comes to increasing the leverage of your activities in your business, how a good strategy entails all players in the team using their specialties, and using the right metric to measure success.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(2:39) - There are many factors to consider when it comes to “what creates effect?” like the volume of activity, repetition, etc. There are also different kinds of levels of activity that Alex explains

(4:21) - A good fighting strategy uses different tactics and different advantages. It's about organizing the pieces of the players on the field and how well they play together which ultimately determines how good the team is

(6:45) - We need to understand that there are so many other layers that are required to win such as honing your special skills, how you can apply your skills in your area & amongst your team, and bringing other people to the team in order to win the game

(13:31) - When we move up the levels of entrepreneurship, we need to make sure that we're playing the right game and that we're using the right metric to measure our success.

(16:54) - You are lying to yourself and everyone else around when you say “no one can outwork me.” It’s about how you can leverage the activity of your team. One way to do that is to increase the leverage of your activities

(20:24) - Once you know how to do something, you will give out the activities in reverse order of your efficacy

Starting From Zero | Ep 453
19:08

Desperation a lot of times leads to innovation. Today, join Alex (@AlexHormozi) as he talks about his experiences when starting out from ground zero, having a Plan B, and the kind of mindset you should have when starting out.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:24) - For Alex, it’s actually a good thing to have a Plan B especially if you’re like him who likes having contingencies. Sometimes there are unknowns that can mess with your Plan A

(3:03) - Alex started off his Plan B by learning how to sell. But even so, he still lost it all twice: when he had to pay his employee with all he had & when he was putting up Gym Launch

(10:44) - “I no longer have fear around money, and so it allows me to play the game differently.” You’re not actually earning more income, but the learnings along the way

(12:18) - In reality, Alex wasn’t actually starting from zero. Whatever money he made, he would use it as capital/investment for the next business.

(14:57) - For Alex, it’s been cash flow positive since day one with all his business (Gym Launch, Prestige Labs, Acquisition). But his mindset always thinks that he’s starting from zero. 

(16:45) -  The questions you ask dictate the problems you'll solve

Why You Should Consider Quitting College | Ep 451
39:49

If you had the choice to go back, would you go to college again? Or make your own path? Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us the insightful talk he had with his 18-Year-Old about not going to college, giving him different perspectives on if he chose one path or the other. He also talks about the cost of college vs. the opportunity cost of going to college, choosing the path that gives you long-term success, investing in skills and learnings, skill-stacking, and accepting that failure is part of the process.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(5:04) - If Alex were to restructure the education system, the majors would be according to the departments of a business because those are the areas where you’ll be hired

(11:15) - Choose the path that will guarantee you long-term success. You might suck at the beginning, but that’s just part of it. The more repetitions you do, the less you will fail

(17:16) - Do what you love and hone that skill. Once you’ve perfected it, pass on your learnings to others who will benefit from you. The best people in the world are actually self-taught because they treated the world as their oyster

(21:29) - After deciding not to go to college, here’s what you can do: research and apply to as many companies as possible. You also want to let them know good reasons why you want to work despite lacking a degree. In between, invest in courses, mentors, etc. that will help you grow your experiences

(31:44) - You create your own access to these mentors because of your hunger to grow. With this, you have to understand that then you're gonna have some imperfect advice from some mentors and some might even say no to you. At the end of the day, make these mentors feel like their teachings were worth sharing

(36:44) - If you think about it, this is actually skill-stacking: there’s the skill of marketing, the skill of working the applications to get the interview, actually doing the interview, assessing the other person in the interview, onboarding and training these new hires, and manage them & continue to increase their performance

What does it take to own a billion dollars? Just money? Investments? Hard work? Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us the truth behind becoming a billionaire, the misconceptions around it, and how thinking in magnitudes in order to reach this goal will help you in the long run.

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(2:15) - The first misunderstanding is that you don't make a billion dollars to become a billionaire. You own stuff that's worth a billion dollars to become a billionaire. Alex briefly shares what he used to think making 1 billion was all about 

(5:13) - If you want to be a billionaire, you can’t side hustle your way through it. Making 1 billion means you are working full-time. Alex shares how 1 billion is realistically made (spoiler: it involves profit)

(7:41) - If you want to become a billionaire, you must own something worth 1 billion dollars. Also, you need to think in order of magnitude when it comes to wanting to become a billionaire. You have to reverse-engineer your perspective

(9:19) - In order to make $700 million a year, you would have to: think of opportunities that are not limited by time, serve a big marketplace, have very high gross margins that will allow you to scale, & think on a very long time horizon

(11:34) - Let’s break it down simply: You don’t make 1 Billion dollars, you own it. Alex shares with us the math behind this idea: “I just made $120 million off of a 15 million original investment.

Building A $50 Million Business with Nose Strips | Ep 448
16:12

The brand is a reflection of what a person desires to be. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how he would create a multi-million dollar business using nose strips, the directions he would take to market the product, how he would help solve the problems of his potential market, and how brands should look deeper into satisfying the desires of their customers.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(0:48) - If Alex were to create a brand from scratch, he would get into the nose strip business for these reasons: high-gross margins, it’s “sticky”, and it helps improve people’s health. He would also heighten the branding element to have motivational words to serve as a reminder for people of what they want to be 

(5:11) - Moneywise, this is what would happen if Alex were to create this nose strip business: Buy pricing and packaging the product (along with some upsells) reasonably, he would end up with make $16 gross margin on a $20 product and would make $80,000

(8:10) - If you develop a manufacturing capacity that creates the word that someone wants on the nose strip on the spot, it could triple the value of the product because it’s unique. And if you include an influence campaign, for example, you’d be making 40% top line

(10:25) - All that being said, this potential nose strip business could be worth between $40-60 million. Other than health, this would be a very motivational brand. It can target multiple markets from entrepreneurs to moms. It reminds you of the person you're trying to become, the character traits you're trying to embody.

(12:35) - You should angle the brand towards your audience, and not about you. Alex shares the story of The Garlic and the Ham and its lesson: you have to give people what they want in order to give them what they need

(15:39) - People will vote for brands that they believe in because it tells them the things that they want to believe about themselves

I Don't Read Books... I Study a Few | Ep 447
11:16

Jack of all trades, master of none… but better than a master of one. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about why he prefers not to fall into the trap of reading 1 book every week, how he approaches education generally, and why it’s also better to learn as you’re doing the thing rather than read about it.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:20) - Alex shares with us why he doesn’t read books every week and instead reads during “targeted seasons”. When we're thinking about education in general, the one thing that you will need is discernment to determine what thing you need to learn next

(3:11) - 99% of the things Alex has learned were from doing it. Books, seminars, Masterminds, etc. will give you the context of where you’re deficient, but not solve the deficiency itself

(5:13) - As Alex was figuring out all the skills he wanted to learn, he realized one thing: most people try and think that they have to figure out the first thousand steps before they take the first one. When in reality, you have to be the one to take the 1st step 

(7:32) - As part of his learning process, he even worked for others for free in order to learn from them on a day-to-day basis, and actually apply what he’s learning in real life

(8:42) - During seasons in his life, if Alex wants more context on an industry that’s when he’ll read or learn about it and expose himself to people who can broaden his thinking and think in bigger increments

A great mentor will make sure you’ll move ahead in the path, even if he gets left behind. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us an eye-opening perspective about mentors and mentees, what the purpose of mentors are in our lives, and the true meaning of “passing it on”. Is there a mentor in your life that comes to mind?

Timestamps:

(1:14) - When you have a first teacher that teaches you the basics, then you have a more advanced teacher later, it doesn't mean you should bad mouth the first. Every mentor prepares you for the next one.

(2:41) -  Over the years, Alex had realized that he was only able to become better than them because they gave him a head start

(8:34) - Mentors should realize that the mentees should surpass them. If they do, it is a sign that they have taught them well. We need to make a new definition of success of a teacher which is students surpass the teacher.

(10:40) - “Give away the secret, sell the implementation with your business” Alex explains this quote & tells us he wants to not only leave the lessons he’s learned but help others in the process. He wants everyone to be successful too.

(12:48) - “Because it feels worth it. It feels like it's not just me trying to do this for myself. It's me trying to do this for a lot of people (...) once I figure it out, I'll be able to help a hundred people cheat code their way through it”

(2:21) - Imagine a business genie that can grant you 1 wish to grow your business: Double the number of customers every month? Double the price with the same number of customers? Or Double how long the customer stays? Which would you choose?

(3:54) - Alex dives into what would happen if you chose option 1 and option 3, these have good results. However, if you really want to double your profit, Option 2 is your best bet: double the price. This is what Alex also did for his business. 

(6:36) - One change that Alex and his company did was they looked at the entire marketplace that they were selling a similar service to theirs, they did nothing but add  50% to the price and changed nothing about the product. Because of that, more people bought.

(8:09) - Pricing is very interesting because it’s very tied to emotions. A lot of people are very afraid of raising the price because they don't wanna break it.

The Millionaire Morning Routine | Ep 442
15:45

Is your routine really productive for you? Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about the question that many people keep asking him: his “Millionaire Morning Routine”. He talks about how this routine should actually be done in reverse, the implications of having this kind of morning routine, and why understanding productivity and leverage is important when creating your own routine.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:16) - The issue is we have to define what “productivity” even means. Instead of thinking of the perfect morning routine, think of the worst morning routine possible, the least effective. 

(3:08) - The “Millionaire Morning Routine” is heavily generalized. It entails that all millionaires do this routine. Instead, we should be focusing on the fact that you are committed to doing the things you said you’d do.

(5:27) - We need to start getting into the thinking process around outcomes because most people spend most of their time doing things. We need to leverage all the opportunities and tasks on our plate and see what degree of leverage they have 

(7:43) - You order your tasks in order of the leverage that they have. Alex shares an example of this. In short, the act of entrepreneurship is simply consistently making these trades of “What can I buy my time back with?”

(10:55) - Things to remember: check if adding certain tasks to your list makes you productive & how much leverage you’re getting from that work. You have to do the work rather than avoid it. 

(14:40) - To be productive first, you wanna maximize your personal amount of time that you're working and make sure that you’re working on the right stuff.

(1:48) - The common reason that people are not experiencing growth with the brand and authority they wish to build is that they’re putting their lading against the wrong wall.

(3:00) - It’s very difficult to deliver theoretical knowledge on business without having proof or evidence to support your claim. It’s better to be straightforward in saying that you might not be the best but you’re sharing what worked for you

(5:12) - the idea is that we need to change the way we talk and what we talk about. It’s all about the change in language. Rather than talking about general concepts, share the depth of your experience to make sure that your assumptions are valid across the sizes of businesses

(7:20) - At the end of the day, it all boils down to talking about things that you have the authority to speak over. One way to do it is to document your journey and take note of your progress

(9:40) - Another perspective to consider is the “audience intention”. Why are you speaking about this topic? You have to be very mindful of this because humans are exceptionally good at sniffing out intention. Your intention is something you cannot fake.

(11:43) - The real value added for the service is the implementation, the accountability, the troubleshooting, and the perspective from which to solve the problem

Cold Outbound Sales Magic | Ep 439
12:15

You're letting people know one-on-one about the stuff that you sell. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how you can possibly leverage referrals and affiliates, an interesting story about cold outbound sales, and how you can profitably grow, even if you're capital constrained.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:56) - Oftentimes, using the cold outbound strategy is getting affiliates then affiliates to customers. Getting affiliates are more affordable because they are worth more than a single customer. Alex shares a story of two girls selling energy drinks at the beach.

(3:20) - Alex dives into the math of how much these two girls end up earning. He discusses the cost of shipping, the product, the labor, etc. 

(4:28) - This is where having a very good product is so important because if you can give a can away for free the thing that you sell & know X percent of people will buy again, then you have an incredibly viral product.

(7:21) - Marketing always works. It's just a matter of how efficient is it. The problem is it's hard to reach every single person in the world. Since it's a matter of efficiency, we need to have benchmarks such as LTV, and CAC ratio (cost of acquiring a customer). 

(9:13) - Cold outbound strategies can work for any business. You can use it for direct-to-consumer business and other ways like door-to-door, emails, direct mailing, etc. You're letting people know one-on-one about the stuff that you sell.

(10:14) - A big thing to consider is looking at the ideal cash flow of acquisition, meaning in the first 30 days, the customer, we wanna be able to make back the cash that it costs us to acquire them.

How to Sell "Ghost" Products Strategically | Ep 438

Gain their trust by selling what you (don’t) have. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about one of the most powerful sales tactics he’s been using: Ghost Products.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(2:07) - Alex shares a story about how he was able to “sell” a product he didn’t have after running out of stock. Rather than saying no to the customer, he gave her recommendations to replace that item and gave her further instructions.

(3:59) - Selling “Ghost Products” ended up becoming a powerful sales tool to gain the trust of his customers. You also need to know the difference between manipulation and help: intention. 

(5:38) - Gain the trust by giving away the low-margin stuff and then keep the high-margin stuff for yourself.  Also, give someone a vision of what their life's going to be like when they're experiencing the benefits.

(8:14) - This strategy is also an opportunity to offer your upsell with prescriptive closes. Also, we want to figure out ways to associate the usage of the product with something they're already doing.

(10:35) - It’s also important to introduce the problem you’re trying to solve for your customer if they don’t buy the product. They need to be reminded of why they came to you.

(13:11) - If you can get this moving at the end of the day, the goal really as a salesperson is to move to their side of the table.

How I Handle Bad Things From Happening | Ep 436
11:57

Sometimes, a change in perspective can alter how you live your life. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how we should manage the circumstances or the conditions that come to us, the three different scenarios that he uses to create and destroy meaning in his own life, and how changing your perspective dictates the way you play the game. 

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(2:09) - Growing up, there are interpretations of adults that we think are the facts of life when it actually wasn’t. We end up having to unlearn these concepts as we grow older. 2 tools we should use to dictate what is good or bad are time & volume. 

(3:30) - Volume: We should try to think of circumstances like the weather, some days will be sunny while other days will rain. Either way, you need both scenarios. It’s just a matter of how you view the weather.

(4:32) Time: How much will this situation matter to me 10+ years from now? If you think in time horizons you relieve a lot of pressure in your life. 

(8:38) - A lot of times we inflate the micro importance of things. When in reality, they aren't important at all and we just choose to make them meaningful. Be aware of the levers of meaning that exist.

Mastering Wealth through Reciprocity, Time, & Sacrifice | Ep 435
15:29

Wealth is based on the fundamental unit of money. Money is a foundational unit of time. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how mastering wealth is rooted in how you master your time and money, the 3 traits that the ultra-successful share with one another, and how other factors such as reciprocity & sacrifice should matter in your journey to success.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:00) - You can’t force reciprocity in your direction by just jamming so much Goodwill down someone’s throat. When it comes to your business you have to be able to consistently and always have more demand than you can fulfill.

(3:35) - You want to be able to provide more value to the customer than how much they pay for your help. Ask yourself “how can we provide so much value in excess?”

(5:01) - Leverage means the ratio between inputs to outputs in a system (ex. inputting time or money). The game of business to aggregate wealth is to play with higher amounts of leverage over one thing. 

(6:03) - Master your time in order to master your money. The 2 components to mastering time are the micro and macro perspectives.

(10:21) - The three things that made people successful and ultra-successful are having a superiority complex, massive insecurity & fear of failure, and impulse control. Alex goes in-depth on each trait.

(13:18) - “Why were you willing to sacrifice so much?” The better question to ask is “why are people not willing to sacrifice anything?”

One of the Biggest Mistakes I See Entrepreneurs Make | Ep 433
10:25

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) discusses a common mistake that entrepreneurs do when it comes to taking on more opportunities than they can handle, the parallel between lifting weights and doing business, and why focusing on one thing at a time will give you the best results than dipping your feet into many ponds at the same time.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:56) - The parallel between lifting weights and business: if you go above your strength level it becomes too risky. Adding weight to the bar is the complexity in the business. Whereas simplicity oftentimes is what scales.

(3:32) - Entrepreneurs tend to make the mistake of putting on shoes that are too big for them to fit. You might be going for something that is way too advanced. Ask yourself first, “What problem are we solving?”

(5:11) - Alex shares a story about a friend who offered a lot of services at the same time and why this will cause more harm than good

(7:08) Another big mistake entrepreneurs do is they try to solve their business growth by globbing as many different things as they possibly can. You distract ourselves from the core business opportunity 

(8:37) - Alex shares the time he made the mistake of globbing at too many opportunities, what he learned about focusing on one thing one at a time, and how repetition plays an important role

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:41) - Ever since Alex started his podcast, he never missed out on showing up to create content. You have to figure out how to communicate. You are learning how to teach, how to entertain, and how to present. 

(3:14) - If you think in days, the time's gonna pass no matter what. But if you can think in decades, when you’re making goals, it'll show that you were thinking that way.

(4:27) - Moral of the story about Alex’s friend: you have to commit to the action. Make the action the goal, not the outcome. The more you commit to the action after a decade, it shows that you’re the type of person who is incredibly patient and diligent.

(7:58) - from the book Atomic Habits: “. Every winner and every loser have the same goals (...) Your goals don't make you unique. It's the activities that you do that make you unique.”

(9:41) - If you can separate the activities from the outcome, you can focus better on the actions. If you can change to this perspective, it will change your life. It'll decrease your emotional ups and downs.

(10:46) - When it comes to finding credible people to learn from, look at those who’ve been there (who have loads of experience) & shift your expectations on what you’ll learn from them. You have to duplicate before you replicate 

(14:16) - You have to start measuring progress in terms of skills before you can measure it in terms of dollars. View it as bricks being laid out to form a bridge

(4:10) - Keep in mind 2 most important rules: there’s no such thing as too long, only too boring & “quantity over quality”. Alex dives into each objective of the 5 phases.

(12:04) - If you're doing the 3rd - 5th phase, the objective is to generate new customers vs. the 1st & 2nd phase wherein you are generating leads

(17:56) - The lever on what you talk about depends on how good you are, which is tough to self-analyze. Just because you call yourself an expert, doesn't make it true. Make content that not only educates but also keeps people interested to want to know more

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(0:37) - Difference between Branding vs Direct Response and why not knowing the difference can lead to your business failing

(3:19) - Your branding can be a potential opportunity for maximizing value. You are reinforcing people to share stories about your brand rather than asking for immediate action from them

(6:16) - It’s very rare to find a massive “Direct Response” company these days. A “direct response” marketer is aggressive, while someone who focuses on branding will take time to market

(9:32) - Give people the words that describe your brand rather than trying to redefine it yourself. What you say about your brand should align with how people think about it

(13:43) - Most people in the “direct response” space are relatively young. The problem with this is that there aren’t enough older people to pass on their advice

(15:48) - Goodwill compounds faster than revenue. The more you give, you are creating a higher value with your audience. They will gravitate toward you without even asking because of the trust that was built

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps

(1:27) - Most people get the wrong idea about picking a niche because they have no knowledge about the niche itself

(5:34) - It’s very difficult to pick a niche when you haven’t actually had the experience or done something in that niche

(8:41) - Your career is built on a foundation. If you try to skip a step, you’ll get nowhere. You have to endure the years you put into the niche, even if it takes a while

(11:09) - Putting time and effort into growing the business or getting into the niche is more important than reaching the top quickly. It respects the game and shows how passionate you are

Your time matters. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about the different thoughts and frameworks that worked for him in his entrepreneurial journey, how these lessons can be applied to marketing, employees, relationships, and health, and how continuous improvement is the name of the game.

Timestamps:

(1:09) - Rich people sell…Wealthy people hold. Wealthy aim for long-term goals while rich people aim for short-term goals

(4:27) - Marketing: we want to get people to buy so that we can figure out how to continuously improve the product, not just sell.

(10:30) - Employees: be patient when it comes to the hiring process. Find people who are more skilled than you, who will contribute to the growth of the business, and not just say they’re “good enough” to get

(14:42) - Relationships with others: Look for relationships that are fruitful rather than convenient. You want to choose people in your life that will be there for the long-run

(17:57) - Health: if it’s a diet or lifestyle you are not willing to commit to for ten years and more, then that’s not one for you. Don’t do something that isn’t “forever”

Timestamps:

(1:23) - Most small businesses do not have value. They are not businesses, but actually jobs. You are not bringing more value to the business

(6:25) - Hire people that will help you run the business like a well-oiled machine. In order to call it a business, lessen taking the reigns by hiring people who are skilled in the positions you have.

(8:50) - If you only care about the money and not the value you gain, you aren’t looking at the business in the long-term aspect. You will burn yourself out by not properly structuring the business and the people you need to help you

(11:11) - Businesses are worthless when they try to sell to everyone, the owner spreads himself too thin by not hiring the right (and enough) people, and not making the business sellable

(7:00) - Between you and the haters, you have the higher ground. They are envious of your business because it is successful and desirable which is why they end up copying and giving backlash

(8:58) - The truest guide that you can use whenever faced with haters  is “What values do I want my life to exude?” Align your actions with your values and never act out of spite or malice

(2:59) - Simplify your product listing to two things and maximize the payment terms instead. Customers look at how much a product is worth more than how many options are available

(6:51) - Let your sales team focus on one main product to sell. This gives them more clarity and focus on structuring the offer properly when they are with customers. 

(8:29) - Focus your attention on the main product/s you’d like to sell and maximize the payment options. Change the idea from “Which will I buy?” to “How would you like to pay?” The more payment options you have, the higher the conversion rate

(7:08) - Don’t take shortcuts. Even if the action might seem repetitive, always give your all. 

(9:29) - The difference between big and small businesses is that they don’t understand the concept of goodwill. There is an opportunity to provide value to your audience. Give rather than ask them.

Timestamps:

(1:49) - Learn how to structure the business in such a way that the moment you sell it, it can run on its own without you and enable you to have more freedom. If you are the CEO (and not the full owner) of the business, that means the company is still heavily reliant on you.

(4:46) - “Nose in, hands out”. In order to become an owner of your business, be there as an advisor rather than leading the team.

(6:58) - The company has to grow and innovate without your presence in order for you to call yourself an owner. Ask yourself “can the CEO you hired run the business without my help?”

(5:10) - When you are setting objectives or goals, do not set this as the first step. What you should be doing is knowing what are the primary actions to take in order to reach that goal. Ask yourself, “what actions do  I take first in order to achieve the objective?”

(7:58) - From experience, if your goal is outcome-based then the actions you take are not important to leading to your goal

(6:54) - The deeper lesson of the story: Sometimes we think we are solving the problem just by looking at meeting the goal and taking immediate action. What you should be doing instead is to go back a few steps and take a closer look at your system. Is it really maximized to its fullest potential?

Timestamps:

(3:45) - The way to stop being addicted to something is to stop thinking about it. It implies how you see yourself. For example: if you overthink, you give anxiety more power. You need to own the power you have for yourself.

(6:09) - When you say “f happiness”, you are eliminating the meaning behind it, making the thought meaningless to you. Nothing can give you shame if you shed light on it. Shame loses its power

(9:06) - If you place yourself in this repetitive cycle, you’re putting too much thought into the problem. The only way to conquer it is to make it meaningless, make it not matter to you. 

(11:51) - Shame comes from the perceived thoughts by outside forces or how we think about ourselves. Inside our minds that we attack ourselves. One way to combat this is to face these thoughts and say “and?” - make it feel powerless
