We provide in-person advisory for companies doing at least $1M per year: https://www.acquisition.com/workshop-yta278 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, 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.

me a long time to learn what I see happen all the time with entrepreneurs especially when they apply to acquisition. comom you know they've got a million dollars in profit maybe it's the bare minimum for us to consider for investment and they're like here's my idea for how I an expand and how I want your help I want to start all these new product lines because I've already saturated my market because I'm spending $50,000 in Facebook ad and I can't spend any more than I currently am otherwise I lose the profitability of the ads so I'm going to start selling more and different offers and add massive complexity to my business that only makes $3 million top line per year that is a mistake and in this video I'm going to walk through why and the reason this is so important is because many people hit this first plateau and then think oh I should start a new business product line when really they need to confront the problem ahead which is they don't know how to get more customers within their current Niche or space your Market isn't capped your mindset is capped what I'm going to do is break down the three different Frameworks I used to think through this so that you are never capped in whatever Market you go after number one from the marketing perspective you have your method which is the biggest thing you do it's running paid ads it's making content it's doing Outreach it's getting referrals it's getting Affiliates those are the methods that you do to get customers underneath of that you've got the platforms that you do that method on you've got Facebook you've got phones email Hulu YouTube You've Got Google ad underneath of that you've got the media on the platform so if I'm on Instagram I can go Instagram DMs stories I can go Instagram posts I can go Instagram reals I have all these different media within the platform one level below that is how much volume am I doing within that media am I posting one story a day one story a week multiple stories a day multiple post today so like that chiropractor agency if there are a hundred other agencies that market to chiropractors and they're all marketing on Facebook then you could probably add up all of the ads spend of every one of those agencies together and that just gives you an idea of how much there is available in terms of numbered new clients per month that all of them together are selling just on Facebook ad rewind real quick if you're trying tock pick what Market you're going to go in I talk about this in my book $100 million offers there's four things I want to look at number one are they in pain am I actually solving a problem for someone number two are they easy to find cuz if I can't find them I can't sell them right number three do they have the money to spend in order to buy my thing because if I'm trying to sell to broke people it's probably not going to be a good idea number four are they growing I don't want to be selling to newspapers I something like old people that are there's more of them every single day that are retiring if I have a market that checks all four of those boxes then I know I'm at least in a good opportunity now once I have that in place and I looked at the four variables that I talked about earlier can I do a new method can I do it on a new platform can I expand to multiple types of media within the platform I'm currently on can I increase the volume that I'm currently doing in the mediums that I have these are the things you can do immediately to get more customers get more leads today let's say you've capped all of those things which is probably not true but let's say you did because we're going into Fantasy Land here I'm going to introduce you to what I call the Pyramid of markets there are five directions that you can go in any Marketplace to expand I'll tell you a story of when I learned this I went to this Meetup of eight entrepreneurs together we were doing $500 million a year in Revenue this was like a multi-billion doll room which is kind of cool and I was one of the smallest guys there I think I was doing 30-ish million a year at the time and they were talking about their businesses I was like these guys aren't smarter than me and I didn't feel like they worked any harder than me and I was like why are they making so much more money than me two main factors number one almost all of them have been in business longer than me big [ __ ] takes time and I had to learn that like I want you to feel that cuz it took me a long time to learn all right there's not many billionaires under 30 that made it themselves like 10 in the whole [ __ ] world there's not a lot of them and fact Checkers maybe it's 20 it's not a lot the second lesson that I learned is that all of them were going after bigger markets than I was cuz at a certain point you do saturate a niche and I'm going to give you context to what that means so gym launch was a licensing company we specifically at the time only focused on micro gyms now we do health clubs and micr jyms cuz they expanded The Market within that pie there was only 50,000 micro gyms in the United States we' already spoken with 20,000 of them we had absolutely have really maximized every media every channel we call we C email C to we run ads on Google we runs on YouTube We runs on Facebook we runs on Instagram we make content like we do all the stuff and we have really done a good job building a market leading business there but again it wasn't as big as theirs and that's why we decided to open up another Avenue now let me tell you about why we decided to do health clubs so when we looked at our adjacent markets we could have gone down Market to personal trainers upm Market to health clubs we could have gone to physical therapists or chiropract was actually very similar or we could have gone more narrow those are the directions we could have gone in I asked our team one question I said of these different potential Avenues or avatars that we could pursue who do we provide the most value to by dollars made it was no contest health club Owners we are able to immediately make them like tens of thousands of dollars within the first like month by restructuring some of the things that we could do within their business and then doubling or tripling their bottom line by reorganizing their onboarding process reorganizing their sales process how they handle retention ### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gVdCR7W8o8&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 08:00) and how they handle upsells so if you deal with hair salons maybe you sell Consulting service you sell to salon owners that's your current market you can go in five directions number one is you can go up Market that means on the pyramid there are fewer people on the higher part of the market and they cost more but they spend more typically higher quality customers that's where you go into Enterprise sales we're talking franchisors as in people who have hundreds of locations under one umbrella or multilocation or chain owner that's up market for salon owners down Market the second Direction you can go is you go to hair stylist you talk about people who are running chairs and doing hair with their hands full-time not running the business there's 10 times more of them the third Direction you can go is you can go adjacent so what's something that's similar in nature but not exactly the same that would be like a lash and nails place if I were a chiropractor it might be Physical Therapy like they're similar but different you want similar business characteristics similar Avatar in terms of the owner similar types of customer within the same larger industry when you do that you just open up another vertical and you attack it the same way you did your first one the fourth Direction you can go is you actually go broader now imagine a pyramid that's all the way like this and it includes all the adjacent pyramids within it which would then just be Beauty so that includes medspot owners lash owners massage studio like all of that kind of falls in the same psychographic they serve the same customer so that would be going broader if we wanted to really open up the net the last Direction you can go is the only one that makes your Market smaller but it doesn't necessarily mean you make less money you could become narrower instead of just being all salon owners it might be salon owners who specialize in extensions or a blo hair place you know that they just do the Brazilian Blowouts like they're just doing that specific thing often times when you do Niche down sometimes you can still make more money because if you're not even close to tapping the methods the platform the media or the total amount of volume you need to do to reach all of those people within that Niche and so then when you Niche down become more specific with your messaging your offer and the value delivered because if you can make this one specific Avatar 10 times more money than the broad Avatar you should absolutely Niche down on that and we've done this with companies and doubled or tripled or sometimes 5x the revenue in the business despite cutting down who they Market to by like 85% by getting really specific about who we serve best big picture zooming all the way back out if right now you're not getting as many leads as you want and you think that your Market is saturated because of what you do you should be looking the way an investor looks at the marketplace and says this is a $60 billion industry I have not even 1% of this industry my whole point here is you have your four initial levers that you can immediately pull to grow how many leads you're get it and you probably haven't even done one of them do another one of them and then eventually try and do them all usually there's this big checklist that you probably already know as an entrepreneur of what I call the should do I know I should be calling my leads faster following up better I know I should be making more content I know I should start a Cod call thing I know I should be running ads on more platforms but you're not and if you're like man that's going to take a long time welcome to the main point I had originally which is it takes time to build big [ __ ] --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/16475*
