If you’ve been frustrated and pissed with yourself about not reaching your goals and you’re wasting time uncertain about your next move and what you should be doing, then pay attention, this episode is for you.

Alex Hormozi has been going viral with incredibly valuable content about turning $1000 to $100 million, how to grow a massive following and of course how to grow and scale your business bigger than you thought was possible with his insane work ethic.

In today’s episode, we talk about Alex’s prescription for traits and behaviors that lead to success and things in life you actually want, and why drugs, porn, and all of your bad habits combined are bullsh*t excuses.

Hormozi has a way of taking the complicated ideas that crowd and pollute the personal growth space, stripping away the fluff and B.S. and making these ideas super easy to do and personalize. This conversation is about finding what is effective and what works.

Identify your destructive habits and turn them into success-producing behaviors that are repetitive and ultimately become the expert you can follow and listen to.

“Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.” -Alex Hormozi

A few key Hormozi insights that will change your life today:

Your 3 hour morning routine may be killing your chances for success
Stack pennines on the evidence that grows your belief and chances to win
Rewarding the right behaviors may be more effective than punishing the bad ones
– Unlock the Hormozi super power of defining terms and operationalizing them
-The gap between knowing business secrets and success is in the number of repetitions
– 3 steps every beginner needs to get their business started
– 4 things you’ll need to know to make your first dollar

By the end of this episode, anyone serious about winning and achieving their biggest dreams should understand that the only thing that absolutely matters is if you are doing the things that yield the results you are after or not.

ALEX HORMOZI QUOTES:

“If you can control every one of the variables, externally to an organism, you can control it’s behavior.”

“Living for the future version of yourself and letting that person be your ultimate judge.”

“No one is afraid of failing. People are afraid of other people’s judgment about their failure.”

“You can drink and do drugs and watch porn, if you still do the sh*t, that’s all that matters.”

“I try to have as few rules as possible to give myself as much latitude to live my life.”

“Use emotions to fuel the behaviors that you want.”

“There’s a stimulus and there’s a response. What happens in the box inside your head does not matter. If you respond, you have learned, and if you continue to see the same stimulus and you don’t respond the way you want to, you have not learned.”

“Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.”

“Values are skills because you can train them.”

“Just because it’s harder to measure doesn’t make it less important.”

“I don’t think any business I’ve had has had a business plan, it’s just what are we going to sell and how are we going to get customers.”

“The big fallacy is that the first is going to be the forever business, which it won’t. Many entrepreneurs have many businesses over the course of their career, and in each business you learn elements that help you build a bigger and better business next time.”

“Most people have to keep getting slapped until they realize that nothing is going to be easy and they have to keep going through the period of not knowing what they are doing, that is in essence what entrepreneurship feels like.”

“The opportunity is in the uncertainty.”

    I will answer the drug addiction question that you can’t answer. Most addicts are addicts from trauma. Most addicts choose to be from trauma either built up or not delt with correctly. That’s my unbiased opinion.

    An admirable, push-pull, type of conversation. However, in the end, the difference between a human and a computer is that a computer doesn't have a survival instinct that would go as far as trying to kill itself because it's not emotional. This is the human's double-edged sword. It's a blessing and a curse. If you truly need to always look for reasons to do anything all the time, while you can simply do things because you desire so, as long as your intent is positive, with humanity in consideration, then you'd waste tremendous amounts of time in the long run as time adds up. If you want something, don't question whether you should or shouldn't. I'm talking about materialism, about homes, about traveling, about connections, dating, business, etc. As long as your intentions are positive and not selfish, then why not? You only get to live once. Might as well experience all the things you want to experience. It's why any time I'm at a crossroad in life and seek a reason, I just say "why not?" as in "why shouldn't I?" Just do it, who cares, have fun. You have the capability to act like a computer for yourself, not only for others as employee. So, program your mind, and run it.

    The idea that meaning and intellect is singularly the operational manner and degree to which we can change the physical world with the idea, is both what makes that guy a little insane, and a lot brilliant.

    Thia conversation is gold….
    Why v* what….purpose v method
    * not to rank one against or above the other.
    But to give access and insight – the power of knowledge. Of what perspective (frame of reference) / default settings i come pre wired with – thus what means of "approach" will translate best for me/you…"o don't need to understand your life story (filter) i just need to hear the science/maths : process/procedures that you applied to said outcome.

    This is a massive over simplification….science (methodology) v faith based approach conversation….
    Eg first principles. Values – absolutes (gravity for eg…science/physics as to the limits of what we presently understand it to be) v "magical thinking"….what could be if no physics "rules" present.

    In a way, Alex approachs success (and even that needs to be defined – explored and defined…?)

    The nugget of gold within this conversation within the times we are living through ….
    Get curious. Test. Apply "independent" analysis thinking to the outcome /results….humility (park the ego) and listen and learn (Apply)

    Can not thank you gentlemen enough such an amazing opportunity to be able to avail ourselves of the strategies and protocol for mental models. To have this available for free just to listen on YouTube is amazing and I’m forever grateful.

    I’m the rule type of guy . Once I set a rule for myself and I break it I kick myself and can’t even look At myself. That keeps me accountable, works great for me

    The worst thing that ever happened to me was that I spent 10 years trying to achieve something, and then had it destroyed in front of me. The lesson I learned was just don't try. It's normally smart to sacrifice the present for a better future – but life isn't fair. You can work your whole 20's, and miss out on everything, and you still might get cancer and be dead 3 months later. I wish I had gotten terminal cancer. Because instead all I learned is that sh*t happens, and you can try or not try, but you just might never get what you want. After that, I spent years doing heroin. The best advice I can give, is if you have a goal, don't make it a person, even if she's all you want and all you love, make your goal money, or early retirement, but if you make your goal a girl, it's too easy to lose, and when you lose you lose you lose everything, and any motivation to try again. My perfect life would have been giving her a perfect life. Once she was gone, I just lost everything, blew over 100k on dope just trying to stay asleep – not high, not numb, literally unconscious. Everytime I woke up I was sorry I did. Looking back, she wasn't worth it. She wasn't even a good person, or a bad person, she was just a person, but even true love dies if you wait long enough and are hurt bad enough. But I didn't know that, because it hadn't happened, and it took her betrayal and finding someone else and finding someone else who was perfect to say damn, I really did ruin my life for nothing when, had I just got rich and found this new person I could have given her the perfect life. But Alex is so right about so much, I had a horrible mom who tried to force me to get good grades, and I probably got worse grades, and she made me hate school and hate life and hate her and resent everything, and it didn't make me successful – it was just child abuse out of selfishness. It was no different than if she beat me or let me be molested, except she got to say she was a "good mom" who "cared about her kids grades", but no, it was just abuse, and I suffered for no reason except her stupidity. And that's most of what my life has been, suffering from stupidity and her, and bad luck and almost winning despite it but then not. I don't know if I have it in me to try again – giving up 10 years when you're 20 to be rich at 30 is cool because you're still 30, giving up 10 years at 38 makes you 50, and there's no time to compound, so you'll always be way, exponentially poorer than someone who didn't screw up and got rich at 30. So I don't know what the play is at this point…

    I'm so sick of these people starting the conversation with "barring a lack of intelligence or genetics" – everyone can do it! Start talking about a "lack of ability and intelligence" – no matter how hard you work.. and it's going to be more interesting

    This guy is on some BS with his cherry picked pseudo statistics. You get on heroin, you're a slave for life!!! Doesn't matter where tf you live or move to. I know Vietnam vets that still do dope. These days it's replaced with fentanyl
