We provide in-person advisory for companies doing at least $1M per year: https://www.acquisition.com/workshop-yta224 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.

Intro

if i were 85 years old and i got to go through a time machine and be back in my body as i am now to experience my life from my 85 year old self it's dramatically shifted how i see everything so let me walk you through it

My Struggle to Feel Gratitude

i've struggled to feel grateful for most of my life it's not that i don't have things to be grateful for i have tons of but i don't feel gratitude and so i've tried a lot of different practices to try and feel gratitude you know the journals and the daily meditations and things like that but they've never really stuck that's not to say that they don't work for some people but i want to share with you in this video is one of the most powerful perspective changes that i've ever experienced if you don't know who i am my name is alex romozy i'm the managing partner at acquisition. com which is a portfolio of companies that does over 100 million a year i make these videos because i hope that you make all the money in the world and you experience all the joy that you possibly can in the process i have spoken in the past about the frame of the veteran which i won't recap here but

The Frame of the Veteran

it's really just having different frames or perspectives through which to see circumstances so that you can improve your experience recently i've been trying to toy with one that would create gratitude there's a clip that went pretty viral not that long ago it's also my number one tweet of all time which is when i was 20 i wanted to be a millionaire now that i'm a millionaire i want to be 20. when i'm 85 years old and in my mind i imagine i will be a multi-billionaire at that point i know that i would give up everything that i have of material wealth just to be poor and 20 again i call this the frame of

Nostalgia

the grandfather or the grandfather frame and it works like this if you've ever looked at pictures from your past and you look at where you grew up or you look at you know your old room a picture of you with old friends doing something we tend to feel these feelings of nostalgia and i tried to quantify like what is nostalgia so to me nostalgia is gratitude in the present for past circumstances for whatever reason we're able to kind of look past all of the kind of minutia of how we were feeling our moods and we're able to kind of like see big picture the things that we are grateful for take a pause

Take a Pause

here i'm sure all of us have tons of childhood [ __ ] and things that we wish were different and blah blah but there are still elements of our past our childhood our adolescence our teenage years our college years whatever it is right where you feel grateful some of you guys are superstars and are always grateful for everything and i'm you know i'm jelly i don't roll that way it's not like i wake up and i'm like man i just want to count my lucky stars like i just don't that's just not how i function and i've been trying this on and i hope you do too because it's been really like improving my

Improve Your Life

been it's been really like improving my life i tried to do this i wake up thinking to myself if i were 85 years old and i got to go through a time machine and be back in my body as i am now to experience my life from my 85 year old self seeing it again if i wake up and i feel my body and i'm like oh this is so nice i don't have all the joint pain ah my wrists don't have arthritis and then i wake up and i'm like i remember when we used to live here even when i looked at layla this morning i was thinking to myself man like this is my wife right at the beginning of our marriage you know we're only six years in we wake up and we walk over to you know to have our coffee in the morning which we always do and i'm like isn't this so nice i remember when we used to have coffee here together this is great and i look out the window look how young vegas looks it doesn't have all these buildings and these flying cars like it does now it's so underdeveloped compared to what it is today and i feel gratitude for an external just environment which i would never really think that but i know that my 85 year old self will totally appreciate those things as i'm going through the day applying that frame also to business where i can see that you know the ceos of our companies and the people that work within our holding company acquisition. com they're stressed about things and in my mind i'm thinking oh isn't this cool that we get to do this together isn't that fun isn't that neat look how cute that is it is the

The Most Powerful Frame

most powerful frame that i've encountered i think the reason it's so powerful is one it operates almost entirely from a frame of gratitude that for me i can feel for whatever reason gratitude journals the meditations things like that like i don't feel that but thinking about my 85 year old self being able to re-experience life through my 32 year old body it's really shifted how i see things and also decreases the amount of anxiety and stress i have over outcomes because i'm like this isn't going to matter in the long run i also

Business Wisdom

think it helps from a business the term loosely but like a business wisdom perspective because when you think about the decisions you think about it within the larger context of your life and you're not like oh yeah i'm going to make that short term dollars because you're like i'm 85. i don't have anything to prove you know what i mean you think about like the really stressful things that you've had happen in your past i feel nostalgia for the sleeping on the floor that i did at my gyms for how tired i used to be at the end of the day of taking 20 plus consoles for months and months on end and rather than feeling stressed about it or resenting the fact that i have to do it like i get to do this i get to make videos talking to a camera look at my 32 year old self go trying to make his content trying to help other entrepreneurs like isn't that cool if i had to characterize seasons of my life i would say i was very angry as a teenager and young adult and then i went from angry to being aware of the deficit between where i was and what i considered to be happiness from there i kind of switched to what i have affectionately called the [ __ ] happiness mantra which i lived for a very long period of time which was i stopped trying to optimize for happiness at all and just really stopped thinking about it all together which i think

Joy

moved me closer to something that i would consider to be joy you can be joyful independent of circumstance because joy is from within happiness tends to come from external right it comes from circumstance and i think when we look at the grandparents or at least the people that are older that i aspire to be they just have an internal joy they have gratitude for being able to live it one last time because the end of the day like it is our last time i'm being real here like i've had a guy that i graduated with died a few months ago and um he was a really successful guy really smart kid did really well i mean this is really dark but he got randomly murdered and you know he had grand plans for his life and i think to myself i'm like you know tomorrow really isn't guaranteed thank you for your attention i know you have a lot of places that you can put it and i am grateful that you chose to share the moment with me so those nation appreciate you guys bye
