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…
I’m rewatching this one. Didn’t catch the quick, subtle jokes layered in. Nailed the comedic delivery. 😂
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).
Been helping online businesses as their lawyer for 10 years and this breakdown was SO helpful to summarize what I've seen! Agree with all of these opportunities and challenges.
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
“Calm down”
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.
“Slow down “
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.
Alex, I appreciate you so much for sharing this and making it so clear and easy to understand!
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.
good stuff!
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).
Alex this is so good. Cheers
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.
So being a professional investor is what category?
What category are celebrities? Service?
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex is GOAT.❤

@nasserahmad01Keep the teleprompter invisible!!!
Your teleprompter is visible on the background glass that contains the books.
What about service businesses with only one person! It is always about bigger businesses, Scaling must be possible for people like us, too, for sure?
@iu5429This video has unequivocally been the most useful business video till date
@farismir1649You could become a red pill guy and I honestly think I’d still eagerly watch your content, have to be able to swallow “slow down!” 😅 creasing up
@sibstarrr9I wonder if there’ll ever be a $100M Brands book.
@Wishful-TinkeringThanks For masterclass
@FelixMorris-o8vSuch a valuable lesson - is there a full version of this somewhere?
@mattsangalliCalm down & Slow Down after saying “swallow” and “eat that” is INSANE lmao

@baraa.6007As a dog trainer who’s half service half education it’s true I got to 20k months in 6 months but not really gonna hit that 40k+ until I put all my effort into finding a superstar
@PalmBeachDogTrainersIf I have a hotel, it comes under which category?
@Aryan-Kishore-SinghWhat about business in intellectual property? Music/creative. Publishing
@mosai-musicThis was a great video, probably one of the best videos on business I’ve watched in a very long time.

@Peace-in-the-universe0Your muscles aren’t big enough, you should take more steroids.
@alexinaustraliaThis was giren
@JeffTheEntrepreneurI ignored this book for months because of the name. Then I actually read it… and I finally understood why the rich stay rich. Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild hits like a hidden manual they didn’t want you to find
@Lila-Archita7195I felt this one. Success is simple you either outwork your excuses or you lose. Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild pushed me to show up even on the days where motivation is zero
@busy-kq8xuIt looks sudden, but it really isn’t. These people just learned the rules earlier. That perspective really clicked for me after Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild.
@project_17-m9jI honestly don’t know where else to say this, but I have to share it here. I found something truly mind-blowing. The book Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild is on a whole different level, especially for anyone chasing success
@Amar_frefierOn a flight from Tokyo to Chicago I sat next to a woman who manages portfolios for ultra-wealthy families. She wasn’t bragging, just explaining how people misunderstand “wealth.” Before we landed she asked if I read Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild. I hadn’t. I ordered it the same night. The part about silent power structures hit me harder than any business course I ever took.
@qr_denziThey bury this kind of knowledge for a reason. Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild doesn’t just talk about truth, it bleeds with it. I couldn’t sleep the night I finished it. Not because I was scared… but because I finally understood why we’re kept distracted.
@Joaopauloff568I once met someone at a gold storage facility in UK. We talked about privacy, decentralization, and off-grid movement. When I asked what influenced him most, he didn’t say a course or a mentor- just quietly said, “Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild” No context. No explanation. Just a book that opened a door I didn’t know existed.
@Mythili-Vallari674I had read Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild a couple of years back and I agree with all your points! I think the book deserves more attention, personally, since it highlights exactly what you talk about. The stories are wild and it is hard to put down once you start reading.
@Shyamari-Maanasa52798I saw this book called Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild and the title was so cheesy I almost didn't read it. Thank God I did. That line about how a high 'W-2 income is a trap' felt like a punch to the gut. I was celebrating my promotion last month, but the book made me realize I was just giving myself a raise to pay a higher bill.
@BD_Animals5367People are thinking they can get rich but are still doom scrolling beating meat, procrastinate etc, i mean those are really bad problems and a lot of people strugle to quit. I dont know why people are not talking about it more online and how to beat it, I was just like that and what helped me was the book called Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild thats the best way to cure.. It worked for me so i want to help others and I know many people have these problems!
@Asit-vd8wjI don’t know why but this video feels personal like it was meant to find me right now. The timing is unreal. I’ve been reading Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild and it’s been shifting how I think about strength and self control. Watching this right after finishing a chapter made everything click. Sometimes life really does line things up when you’re ready.
@Gulzar-Chaitali33823I felt this one. Success is simple you either outwork your excuses or you lose. Shadow Behind The Gate by Brian Rothschild pushed me to show up even on the days where motivation is zero
