Alex Hormozi explains why action alleviates anxiety. "Action alleviates anxiety. The only thing I could control was that I would work, that I would get better. The key point there was that it wasn't just working for work's sake. It was working with the intention to improve." "I paid for a mastermind for gym owners before owning a gym. Why would I start a gym until I learn all the stuff that you guys did wrong? I'll just learn from all y'all's mistakes. It sounds like a great deal for me. It almost felt unfair."

Alex Hormozi explains why your tolerance for B players collapses. "I remember hiring my first $50,000 a year employee and I was like, holy shit, this is what talent looks like. And then I hired my first $75,000 employee and I was like, oh my god, 50 is nothing." "You can judge the level of the talent by how general my directives are to the person. Someone can just say, hey Alex, can you just build out acquisition for this business? And I would say, sure. So you can tell how advanced someone is by how many directives you have to give."

Alex Hormozi lays out the two skills he's training right now. "A big focus of mine is trying to standardize the rules that govern reinforcement across an organization that scales. The culture is a thousand unspoken rules and that's why it takes people time to learn and figure out what the culture is when they go somewhere new." "Rather than how can the organization meet my demands, it should be how can I let my skills meet the demands of the existing business. It's asking reality to meet you where you're at rather than meeting reality where it is."

Alex Hormozi argues your excuse is the reason to do the thing. "Whatever the reason they say is just say and that's the perfect reason you should do this. They're like, 'I can't sign up for this weight loss program because my husband doesn't support me.' You're like, 'The reason that you should sign up for this weight loss program is because your husband doesn't support you'" "Learning is same condition, new behavior. Intelligence is rate of learning. It's a speed" "A lot of you here, I'm looking at you, think you're really smart, but you go back home to the same condition and you do the exact same thing. So how smart are you?"

Alex Hormozi argues productivity is just removing what isn't work. "My office has no outside light. I try to minimize all the sound in the office. I also put on earplugs and headphones. There's a great app you can use that blocks your phone so nothing can get through, including text, phone calls, slacks, everything" "Anything that is not the work distracts you from the work" "Few people actually work faster. You just don't work when you want to be working. So if you just limit all the time that you're not working when you want to be working, you work a lot more"

Get your mind right to grind right💪🏾

Alex Hormozi tells a fitness coach he doesn't look the part yet. "You have to like look in the mirror quite literally and be like, do I have a body that people aspire to have? I told this particular individual, I said, you got to go pro man. If you want to be a professional, you got to look like this is what you do, like full time, like this is not negotiable." "In the fitness world, I would make my CTAs around personalization and accountability. That's the number one and two things that people want when they're trying to lose weight. They wanna be personalized to them and they want accountability. What can someone not get from free internet content?"

You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than your current results.

Bad times will come to an end. Just as good times will come to an end.

If people have to coach your effort, you will not be able to get past the level of average.

I never regretted doing it. I only regretted not doing it. Says every winner.

For people with more brains then wealth...this is how we become extraordinary and separate from garden variety people⬇️ 1. Different habits 2. Different conversations 3. Different lifestyles 4. Different friends Prosperous people are not normal.

Live from Starbucks. 4 hours of study in. Learning how to actually write. 1# skill of marketing. This is what should be taught in schools. Immediate actions from me = writing headlines, getting feedback from others. Fun times ahead. Let's go!!!

As I got an early start to my day, I felt myself dragging. How do I quickly shift my energy? 1 simple 15 second habit... Beast Mode. Flexing my muscles. Increase my grit and mental strength. Boost my energy by . Beast Mode = confidence.

Early morning start. Sitting in Starbucks, on laptop, engaged in learning new skill. Is it worth suffering through? Will I take immediate actions on what I learned? How do I measure my efforts? Many right paths, only one wrong thing (to do nothing). Get after it!

To anyone getting passed over for a promotion. Who feel invisible to the decision makers. Instead of taking on victim mindset and hoping things work out Do the work and develop more valuable skills. The reason you don't see opportunities is because you lack higher skill set.

A young man asked me, how can I get more reps/ volume as a strength trainer? My answer was simple. Be so good at your current responsibilities to get noticed to earn more opportunities. Powerful. Simple. Yet many will look for secret sauce.

When you die, your life will be summarized into facts about your early life, 1–3 short anecdotes showing your qualities, what you meant to others, and who you’re survived by. Whatever you’re stressed about today won’t make the list.

When you’re not sure what to do, doing more is always a great default. Action creates insights. Insights creates new actions.
