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 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

  1. Dawg its pretty hard to live off 20 grand a year, thats almost the yearly cost of my rent alone before my other bills, and I constantly search for more apartments, havent found one in my town that is cheaper than mine already is

  3. I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had quarter of a million to create a strong portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?

  4. This was me the summer before college I’m RN BSN now I went to phlebotomy school it was online took 4 weeks. Started at $14.50 paid to get ASCP certified and passed the board I move up to a tier 3 making $22 I worked every Sunday because.25% shift differential. Now I am a RN in the ICU making $40 a hour and am going to CRNA school next which new grads make 250k-300k.

  5. Thanks for putting us on to Claire Benoit in one of your videos. I started with just $2,500 a few months ago and now I've crossed $9K. Nothing crazy-just steady flips and clear signals. Honestly, I was tired of watching other people win while I stayed stuck. This was the switch I needed.

  6. Woah woah red flags, this video underscores just how powerful investing. Earning capacity does matter but 100% investing will crush earnings capacity any day unless you’re making millions already. Investing isn’t something you get overnight but a skill you grow, but once you start to learn it oh man that’s freedom. Do not be fooled, mostly everything revolves around the market not the other way around.
