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 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

I know exactly what I need, de-traumatization lol. I’m enjoying my peaceful solitude so much, I don’t want to f it up. I grew up In a large semi-chaotic, semi-functional home. I know others will relate…
And that's why no one will remember your name
I wanna start a business, but I don’t know what to sell. Can you make a video on this because I have been struggling for the last year and a half with this.
This mindset is so tragic. I'm sorry you feel like you have to destroy yourself to "win". I'm sorry you feel like there is a "win" at all. These things aren't true. Your feelings and mental health are part of you, and you matter.
Everyone who sells their soul to be successful ends up miserable like this. God is punishing them for making the world uglier with their presence.
Constantly reminding myself of this
Lame… give away … carnival barker
Bro stfu . You're not Mr beast
Dude does not have a victim mentality unlike entitled poor people wkwkwkwk 🔥
Mr.beast is mr.beasts biggest fan
I need to see a MrBeast collab that would be heat
Pushing through the tough times in order to make your dreams a reality can actually be really good for your mental health.
The uncomfortable truths bother some trouble others & some believe it's a super power.
This is golden 🏁
Being in the top is always a bad idea for your health, being hyper successful never comes with mental health and most people even get medical problems. I believe the ideal sweet spot is to be as successful as you need to be to don't worry about money and being able to pursue your dreams, that's it. You don't need to be top 10 nor even top 100 or top 1000 worldwide to acquire that.
I got to a point where when I feel stressed out or sad/ upset about anything which in and of itself is not often at all, I work and it goes away.
I remember seeing an episode of Joe Rogan where he had a psychologist on who said its scientifically proven that being productive drastically improves symptoms of depression. And helping others straight up cures it most times. Luckily my line of work involves working very closely with my clients and making them money so closing deals makes me feel good.
Most people don't have the ability to do this. It requires some level of childhood trauma. Because it's familiar in those who have grown up with having a traumatic life and those who haven't don't feel comfortable in that space.
I don’t know what Mr. Beast means by “mental health” here, but it’s worrisome.
That was a beautiful line
Ahh yes, not many people would commit war crimes to be the best YouTuber 😂
I get the point though. Solid thing to think about.
yes
Money is a real motivator but hope deferred makes the heart sick. His insane drive plus monetary rewards is more intense on both extremes than most will ever experience
Good for u bro imma watch ur vids and enjoy my life
I have never and will never watch a "mrbeast" video
Win what exactly? All this shit is vanity. 10 years after your gone, no one will remember you?
People are not getting the context here. He is not talking about destroying yourself. It is in the context of getting out of your comfort zone to grow more further. When you get out of your comfort zone it's quite painful mentally. But it's good for you in long run
I just finished a 12 hr. It’s 11 pm. Started late but I finished thru. 3/30 days
I cannot understand because you are telling this so fast and the captions are also too fast to read
Since Mr Beast is copying your quotes now, as you’ve said, that means you’re doing something right.
