Life Lessons: Alex Hormozi
Do you have a level 10 skillset, but this is a level 2 OPPORTUNITY?
We either pay for lessons with either TIME or MONEY. We use the one we value least. You should spend both.
How to change your REPUTATION? Behave like the person you want to be and then let your reputation catch up.
HAPPINESS is living out as many days that you like in a row.
At some point you aren't going to know anymore. You should just jump. The word DECIDE comes from "cutting off" other opportunities.
You gotta go slow to go fast. You only unlock the COMPOUNDING after doing the same thing over a long period of time.
If you're doing the right thing, do an extraordninary amount of it. Do more VOLUME.
If stupider people than you can do it, YOU CAN do it as well.
Fat pitches in life don't come very often. When it gets easy, you need to GO HARD. Otherwise someone else will come and eat your lunch.
Give yourself a LEARNING BUDGET, that you expect to lose. Every once in a while you do something that really expands your horizon and pays off in the long run.
In PARTNERSHIPS: if you don't agree, don't move forward. Slow down, it's not that urgent.
INVEST only in what you know. You will sleep better.
The riches are in the niches, but at some point you need to expand to keep growing.
You can't learn while you're talking. LISTEN more.
OLDER books are better, because they didn't try to sell anything. They wrote them to teach. Read books that change your thinking or behavior.
Most champions lack something that you have. They SACRIFICED something to get where they want. It's about saying no to most things and yes to few.
Six months after you're dead, nobody thinks about you anymore. Most people's OPINIONS should be ignored, because they don't matter. Do they live a life you admire? If no, ignore it.
Extraordinary accomplishments come from simple things repeated over an extraordinary amount of time.
If it's WORTH DOING, it's worth doing well.
Be willing to NEGOTIATE anything, except your values.
HUMILITY is not decreasing your regard for self, but increasing your regard for others. You gain status by giving more to the group than you get.
Fuck happiness. Do things, make progress, be proud of them. Then you get happier.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to success, success leads to complacency, complacency leads to failure. You need to fail until you learn the lesson. Be aware of where you are in the cycle, so you can focus on learning and success.
Shed your FALSE TRUTHS. See the world more clearly, when your beliefs don't suit you.
The company is not about you. Give people a slice of the pie and let them profit of the business too. Then it's multiple lifetimes of EXPERIENCE that work together on a shared goal.
The secret to sales: Make an offer SO GOOD, people would feel stupid saying no. You don't need to sell, when the product is just great. The better the PRODUCT, the more compounding.
If you want to control what people think, control what they say. Equip them with simple PHRASES that they can describe it to their friends.
When you're a BRAND, you can activate your audience. Fame has it's downsides, but if that's the price that you have to pay to have the impact that you want, it's for sure worth it. The more work you do, the better you get. The better you get, the more you get out of it. Put out way more content. The worth of your brand is the margin between the cost and the price.
