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 https://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.
You don’t need all that for a gym session. If you’re at a gym like that
Saves time and keeps you straps neat. Genius!
I just broke the 666th comment by making it the 667th 😊
fucjing tools
Love it!
In design language that’s called an affordance 😊
Lasts forever? As a pipefitter I go through one of these every two years. Maybe last forever for his sports bottle and chalk dust 😂 cute though.
You have too much stuff for the gym… I have plastic bag my chalk is in… end of story.
10/10
I think it’s the Dewalt DG5518. Though I can’t find it in stock or for sale any where.
Who cares these guys are interviewing are pro at talking be
I use 4 bags exactly like his for my mechanic job. I work faster than anyone and all my tools fit on a tiny cart I can wheel around.
IF IT AIN’T YELLOW I AIN’T MELLOW
algorithm following my every move on this one…
That’s a new bag. It has props. I dig Alex, but I think this is for eyeballs.
It’s so inspiring because he’s rich and dresses like us.
That’s awesome
The Philosophie is cheap asfuck!
Just a bag stfu bro
I am glad to know I am not the only one doing it. 😊😊
Is nobody going to say that’s a business idea?
Say what you wish… But it’s clever
I settled with a convertible backpack from an outdoor brand. The tool bag is not really ergonomic when you walk 5 km to get to the gym
Get the job done 😎👍
Lol me as a cleaner using a wine bucket to fill with products and then a rolling cart so everything stays organized 😅😂😂😂
Praise to the work bag goddess
I’ve got a small traveler’s backpack because gloves and shin guards fit in while cycling. But this workman’s bag is genius if you have a car or live next to your gym.
Alex is the Boss 💯
Guess that makes sense
No bags on gym floor 😑
It’s a dewalt, it’s not going to last forever.
I would love to know how Alex got his style of thinking.
Does the type of bag one use, matter?
Use any bag you want as long as it works.
I’m so close to getting that bro, a normal gym bag is so inefficient
Replaced my crappy old Nike gym bag with broken zippers with a husky 16 inch tool bag and the durability is night and day. In terms of practicality, the bag is a lot more rigid so storage isn’t as good as a traditional gym bag but the sacrifice for storage you gain in durability.
Doesn’t fit in a locker
Bro looks like hes boutta do maintenance on the machines
I love that AH is concerned about the benefit of “last forever” when he could buy a new one every year — every week — without financially flinching. He has an abundance of wealth and still looks for value.
No he went out and bought that bag just to shoot this video
Tool bag for the ultimate tool
I used to wear Tony Hawk skaters shorts at work, because they were like anti-absorbant material, flexible, and wouldn’t rip like my normal cargo shorts would
Just use a damn normal bag lol
he’s trying so hard to be “normal”
And now he made a scam website called skool, sad
I’ve been using a husky electricians bag for a while. It’s pretty useful for storing all the little shit that I lose in the bottom of the gym bags I used to use
Imagine walking in to a gym with a suitcase
Can’t stand the guy.
Some dude better bring a Milwaukee pack out 😂
👌🏼
Looks like hes used it twice ever……. cmon people.
