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 $200,000,000+ 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 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
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.
This is it. Simple actions every day. It took me 8 months to gain 500 subscribers. It took me another 8 to gain 10,000. Consistency wins and compounds
Lovely mate
Reminds me of Gary Vee's usual advice as well. Excellent summary.
💪🏻😃👍🏻
Now you’re at 17k 🔥
Damnn you are on fire man you are at 21.1 right now ... 🔥🔥🔥 More power to you mate 🍻
I got to 1,000 subs in 6 months. Monetized and 15 days later I’m at 7,700! It’s continuing to make content, stay consistent and find a good niche!
Amazing
What can I do if I can’t find my niche?
Being a CZcamsr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame -ster of course) will always pay off at the end.
This is true. Thank you!
1. Focus on the process not the outcome
2. Consistently is the key
3. Have patience
4. Goals doesn't make you unique, action does.
5. Focus on the doing
Good summary :)
I had a stroke reading number 4
💯
"The goal was never the outcome. The goal was doing the thing."
@@Moejoe213 yup
This 6 min 54 sec video changed my outlook on life for the better with the “your goal is not the outcome, your goal is to be consistent” outlook, thank you genuinely brother, may God bless you. ❤
Thank you so much for the inspiration! 😊
“Focus on the activities not the outcome.” That great advice I can use for anything… thanks definitely subbed
summary: post constantly and wait 6 years. Saved you 6:53 min.
Alex is so freaking clear on what he communicates - My Big Takeaway - The Goal is not the outcome. The goal is to do the thing!
That is the best way and celebrating doing the actions will make you more successful than celebrating the result.
For 6 years, ya right. I've used Twitter for close to a decade and my account is throttled.
Many of my Tweets consisted of quality and I barely get any views, let alone a like.
Read atomic habits
"the goal is not the outcome, the goal is to do the thing"
@@programmer1840check out my recent song lmk 🙏🏻
Consistency is truly the key to success. Focus on the process, not the outcome, and watch your growth compound over time. Thank you for the valuable reminder, Alex!
Finally someone who keeps it REAL and don’t try to sell us a course. You just gained a new subscriber, keep up the great work!!!
1000%. So many video creators make 19 minutes videos making viewers waiting for that key point.
Same here, I feel he is keeping the whole thing real 🔥🔥
He does sell the courses though :)
@@KA-rt2vh he sells books that focus only on building a business, his content is much bigger than just talking business
Courses are the way to go, people who say these kind of things don’t know enough to provide value to audience
A Very Encouraging Video.
"Focus on the Doing."
Thank You...
Kadeers!!!
This video is probably the one that strike me the most… all the time I was about goals and dreams but not taking the required actions. Now I will start committing to the actions and just do until it happens. Thank you 🙏🏻 master ! You bring so much value it’s just crazy. Thank god you guys exist!
Thank God they exist!!!
Mic drop! Love the practical breakdown of things that seem some abstract. Appreciate you Alex.
Yoo ruslan, I love your content bro!
3:12 Focus on the process
Whenever you see some outcome you stop the activity - means you don't have a trait of consistency
The reason you're not there where you want to be, because you can't do things repeatedly.
You need to be able to do the doing, without seeing the result of your doing. You have to keep doing it!
Make a habit of building good habits. Easy to add to good habits and good routines if you’ve built a habit of a good routine
Love this! Thank you!!
Thank you Alex for reminding us to think long term. I really needed this.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of society in the country as very few are literate on the subject, thanks to Mrs Charlotte Walsh the lady you ones recommended
Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!
Wow.. I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Charlotte Junko Walsh), so many people have recommended highly about her and I started with her☺️from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
It's a miracle, and I would testify, 110K bucks every 4 weeks! | now bought my dream cars while i still invested my money by buying new houses for rent...
After i raised up to 425k trading with Charlotte Walsh, I bought a new house here in the States and also paid for my son's surgery (Kelvin) glory to God.
I second what he said, I was the person try one time and wait for the result and nothing happens, I promise myself to show up every day including the weekend I do for 2 week and boom !!!! Happens ! Keep doing it and you gonna se your hard work !!! Thank you for the video !!!
I just want to spend a minute to comment that i'm super grateful that you share real stuff to the audience, extremely precise and straight to the point for people who are struggling. So many content creators out there just wanted to share a >15 minutes videos hanging the audience waiting for the key content.
Thank you so much for being so helpful. Sincerely.
Finding your voice for the first week. Very true! Literally the title of my podcast “find your voice” pre covid & 100 episodes in it reached top 10 in mental health charts.
Consistency & good content is key.
It definitely takes years.
Such a great video! Your perspective on prioritizing the process over the outcome is a game-changer. It's refreshing to hear someone emphasize the long-term nature of business success.
I love when you say “as long as it takes”. Makes me motivated to keep going on my channel. Thank you for putting such a good content.
Wow, this video is gold Alex! Been putting in the work to grow my audience for the past 4 months, delivering top-notch content, and bam, reached 65k followers (I used a little bit of Quicky social to grow organically). Keep pushing, folks! Never forget the importance of consistency and quality content, especially when starting from scratch.
this is just pure gold! I really really really appreciate you!!
Just the extra motivation I’ve been needing.
Been doing CZcams since 2018, a lot of ups and downs but staying consistent when possible and staying dedicated to the goal has shown growth.
Mind you close to breaking the 7k sub mark, have over 420 videos and just reached 1 million total views.
Small accomplishments towards the bigger goals!
Today I learnt the greatest advice of all time JUST FOCUS ON ENH YOU CAN CONTROL not on the things that you can't.....
A new journey begins with this quote...
I appreciate your honesty. So organic, trustworthy, and candid.
never heard anyone explain it in that way and so simple. focus on actions, not goals. love that. shifted something profoundly in me. thank you!
This is SO good. Patience is really underrated. It took years for me to have any footprint in my industry (voice acting) - 10 years seems to be a sweet spot too. Thank you for your candour, saying it straight and sharing so we can learn and not re-invent wheels here HA! - great stuff! 😊
The exact video I needed right now. Thanks!
Hi
Hearing the words "if you make 400 long form pieces of content, you'll have more followers than you do today," hits deep. I really like how you talked about committing to the actions and not the goals, true words of wisdom.
First ever video I watch from you, and so many information in here I am hooked to your channel Alex. Thank you for committing to creating content that impacts.
Welcome to Hormozi Nation!!!!! His wife's content has also honestly truly helped me. I can't be grateful enough for the both of them.
I cried reading the first chapter of your book, I relate so much to it. I've been at it for 14 years, I started with nothing, have had my bank account on E a few times with many people counting on me, and am currently in the midst of my most significant swing ever. Everything is on the line, and I'll find out the results within the next few months; it's exciting and terrifying at the same time; it's the only thing I think about. Thank you for writing this.
In the thick of things....How'd it go?
@@rodydl I'm still in the midst of it. It's exciting and very stressful.
@@JasonLaytonhow is it now?
@@andguy We're still alive, but on the knife's edge between glory and failure.
The Grind ,Iooked at your channel and I am glad your pressing forward , God bless you in your journey
It's the Chinese Bamboo growth bro... Nice to hear from you...
We're coming up bigger.
I love this perspective! It's so important to focus on the process and not the outcome. I think too often we get wrapped up in the end result and we forget to enjoy the journey.
The government has exhausted all of its chioces, ammo, and credibility, we have a long way to go. you’ve helped me alots Ms Donita Imagine investing $1000 and receiving $10,300
I’m a proud beneficiary of this great information, I have a massive wallet filled with different investments
Actually I make up to $9,500 weekly because I traded with the right person she’s of no regret and there’s no losses.
How do someone start please I need information ????
*Reach her with the below name on TELEGRAMS*
*Ms Donita*
This video is pure value! All the influencers out there make people think they can make 10k in 60 days and people get discouraged after trying it. YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE LONG GAME. Nobody is making it big in 30 days
Wow, just Wow…so many jewels in just one video and I’ve never been more inspired! Thank you so very much for taking the time to create and share this with us 🔥🙏🏽
6 minutes 53 seconds of pure wisdom about the power of delayed gratification! Thank you so much Alex.
This is the best and most profound youtube channel I've even found that everybody in any age should watch! I even share this to my teen kids. It is so rich in values that millenials need to learn if they wanna be successful.
Pure commitment man. I appreciate your honesty. So organic, trustworthy, and candid.
I love it that you are real and not trying to motivate us, rather you see telling how you got there and it's real to me, just subscribed 👌
Such good advice that applies to almost all aspects of life.
Absolutely insane. Just do it. And focus on the doing. Commit to the progress and shift your perspective. Kudos from Brazil.
This is great, Alex, thank you for sharing... 28K subs and still hustling..
I love how realistic you are! Thanks!!! I started 2 weeks ago, and I am commiting to the action.
top-tier content for free.
keep going Alex, you're helping the business community immensely
There is a lot of Marcus Aurelius stoic philosophy in these teachings. So true. Thanks man!
I kept seeing this video in my feed and never watched it because I’m not looking to grow an audience. I wish I would have watched it sooner!
The second half of the video applies to anything in life or business that you want to be successful at. I’ve always wondered what kind of impactful information someone could possibly get by paying a mentor $10k+ for and THIS is it!
I’m just starting out on this journey! Building consistency and defining my goals - I’ve taken a lot from this video though, not focussing on output from the action but the process of the action itself. 🙌
Not what I was looking for but it turned out it’s what I needed to hear

You single-handedly change lives. I'm grateful. Thank you.
Alex and team, this was incredibly impactful defining the difference between the focus on activities instead of goals. Thank you for sharing this great lesson
The best editor ever. Congratulations 👏🏼
started our outreach team and have been hiring aggressively / training everyday to get the cream of the crop qualifiers and closers we can get to assist in scaling. going from a low end 6 figure business to a million a year on the rate were steadily bringing on more like minded people! i stay watching and learning & am excited for my video production companies progress this summer!
Definitely needed to see this. I've been guilty of stopping when I've seen a tiny bit of success. This will be a video I rewatch.
Hey Alex great video! I often get that consistency and commitment to the activity is paramount BUT, how do you know when to quit something and avoid potential "delusion". For example, how do you make the distinction between something that's clearly not working vs something that needs extra push? I see often that people don't know the difference
What sort of engagement are you getting on your existing content? Any?
@@PlaybyPodi don't think aj is talking in terms of content. they're just asking in general
With Famester growing an audience has never been easier. I use it all the time. People are like "That's cheating", "It's against terms of use" etc but they still struggle to grow their audience.
Appreciate this post Alex! This is exactly my mindset! I just started my journey and I’m here for the ride!
Fall in love with the process, detach from the results!
Let’s get it!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you, Mr. Hormosi, I needed to hear that. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Well received!
Your goals don’t make you unique. It’s the activities that you do, that make you unique. 👌🏽
Simple, honest, to the point... and most importantly... Goal is not about the results, it is about doing it !! Awesome !!! I
The most realistic video i have seen and for that i am now subscribed
The goal was never the outcome the goal was to do it.. this is amazing thank you so much!!
This is the only video on this subject that is not clickbait and is actually portraying the reality of how much hard work it takes to reach your goals. I'm sick and* tired of videos titled ''get viral in 90 days". If it were that simple, everyone would be rich and famous. It takes time and dedication, simple. Thank you for teaching us the real thing! I hope you all reach your goals, good luck! :)
True! Would you be also interested in hiring someone experienced to manage & grow your social media page?
Yes, I was thinking of starting a page ..@@hamzan6896
Now, I am committed to watching all 400 videos, 2 a day, and I'll have learned their content in a year to help build a platform to fundraise for law enforcement. CZcams wasn't my main focus, but it may be soon! Thank you, Alex.
I love all of your content / wisdom 🙌 thanks for your work!! Always of great value ⚡️⚡️
This is such great information. I have done well staying focused on the actions and not the output, over about 8 years now. I have struggled to apply this same framework to building an audience. This video is what I needed to remind myself I have the ability to stay disciplined, just need to mimic what I've done for years in the past in another field.

Best advice I've ever heard. I could even apply this to everything in my life. Just focus on making progress every day.
Although I am a newbie in this content creation stuff, shorts seem to be quite an effective way to get attention at least. It was a different world before shorts. Anyways, thanks for the advice. Consistency is always the most important thing in anything we do!
Contact👆 Max Thomas for something really big and new
Good stuff, and really true. My podcast in not this popular (not even close), but I'm doing mine consistently almost 2 years now. The funny thing is that for almost one and a half years I've had basically 0 listeners. Basically I did it for myself, but actually the goal was the activity. I wanted to learn how to create content via podcast, the tech stuff, and got to a point where I called in my first guest.
From that point everything is changed. Of course my guest shared the show, and recommended others to talk stuff about, so that brought in more connections, spotlight and so on. This started a snowball effect. Consistency is key, and the important part is the activity, so good stuff, and really true.
- Patience and time - you improve over time as well
- It takes years, decades, actionable goals - do the work, tick the boxes throughout the day, you’ve done the job
- Posting everyday for 6 months - compounding over months
- Focus on the Process - consistency, don’t stop when you see results, keep doing even when you don’t see results, commit to actions and behaviours
- Everyone has the same Goals but it’s the activities that you do that makes you unique
- Focus on the stuff that makes 1 million dollars
- Commit to the process, be in it for a decade, if you are making progress you are good
- It will take as long as it takes
This kind of content is so helpful for entrepreneurs and aspiring influencers, keep bringing these insights to light!
*MUST READ FOR EVERYONE*
I started this channel 2020 but it got to a point i got tired and quit because I thought growing Channel would be so easy but now i realized i need to keep onto it and to create a very good CONTENT that you will benefited from and i also realized that *SUCCESS TAKE TIME and to NEVER GIVER UP ON THE PURSUIT OF ONES DREAM* so am back fully now with high determination, persistence and relentlessness.
So my aim of telling you this story is to let you know that *SUCCESS TAKE TIME AND TO NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PURSUIT OF YOUR DREAM*
I Love You 💗 💕 ❤️
Love the simplicity of doing the one thing.
Micro new daily habits. It will compound.
The goal is not the outcome.
The goal is to DO the ☝️ thing. 😊
This is Gold. I watch most of your videos twice. You'll be at 3mil in no time.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspective! I am relatively new to podcasting, just released my 137 episode, but still trying to figure out all of the things you mentioned you went through early on. I'm just trying to maintain consistency and learn and grow along the way. Great video!
Wouldn’t say 137 episodes is “relatively new” but keep up the grind!
@@Kurie thank you for the encouragement! Haha yes, “relatively” compared to 400+ episodes. I definitely can relate to Alex saying you are still learning and fine tuning your style during the first 150 episodes
Thanks for the advice! It took me almost 9 months to get to 61k subs; CZcams is tough!
Exactly what I needed to see in this moment. Thank you!
This is the realest advice I've heard by far on youtube, Thank you so much
Consistency isn't just doing something repetitively, it's about doing something despite not seeing progress, results and even in the face of failure
This is so deep . It feels so undeniable. It is the hard way, the right way, the only way. I guess that if it wasn't this path people wouldn't have wanted it.
I think that people wat the hard path without committing totally to it.
Wow, I'm just trying to start a bussines. My main Goal? To get as much followers on instagram as fast as I can. But after watching this video my mindset has already changed. Thank you
After starting my channel almost a year ago myself I can definitely attest to this. It's been mainly a desensitisation process of getting used to talk to a camera (I actually used to shy away from cameras). For the first 6 months I only had 20 subscribers (mainly just friends) now I have 55!! Ha! Which is almost triple! Kinda laughable, but I try to see it as a positive, everyone has to start somewhere right 😅😉 My general view is so long as you're enjoying the process and learning about yourself then even if the channel doesn't grow you're still winning
This is so true. Almost at 18 months, I've hit episode 48 on my podcast and I'm not stopping. The views barely hit triple digits, but that's okay!
I enjoy the process and I can honestly see myself doing this for decades.
Look after those that do listen, bro 🤙
I think the editor is given the time to experiment and learn, with the goal to increase the level of professionalism of youtube
Alex has just signed up with one of Gary Vee's ex editors
People today always try to rush the process! Been at stuff for 6 years and only at 392 subs! Keep learning, kee growing, keep grinding and you’ll get there
I love it when the content of ppl like this successful charming man comes up to me ❤ thank uuuuu
I fall in love from the first time seeing him 😭
I hope my consistency pays off
Increase quality in your videos , add subtitles , focus on thumbnail , speak confidentially
Wow! You are preaching! This is really dope! I love this! I teach an after-school program and will show this to my students!
Build a system, continuous improvement, research and always be learning…
Funny. We all instinctively know this. But typically we seem to be desperately searching for the “Easy Button” and overlook the “plant, cultivate and then finally harvest” process
whenever you see the outcome you stop the outcome. most people can't do one thing over and over again independently. you need to be able to do the doing without seeing the result of your doing (consistency) walk by faith and not by sight.
SOLID advice! This is a GAME-CHANGER "focus on the process, not the sale" "The action is the goal"
Epic content 💪👍 as always
Main takeaway from studying your personal brand:
Speed, volume and quality
One of the best videos I've seen on growth. Consistency!! 1.5 years of youtube here just hit 2k subs. Just having fun and enjoying the process.
Editing is 🔥
Knowledge is 🔥
