Summary

The path to entrepreneurship is much more complex than you realize. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about the different lessons he wished he had learned after college regarding business, life, and himself. Sometimes, it’s all about shedding false truths in order to see the world more clearly.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:06) - Lessons 1-3: Making better decisions by assuming you’re dumb, learning how to respect yourself, and the way you use your words when selling

(7:20) - Lessons 4-6: You get more out of reading just one book, most champions don’t have something you do, and goodwill compounds faster than money

(11:56) - Lessons 7-9: Death is inevitable, extraordinary accomplishments come from doing ordinary things, and if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

(17:11) - Lessons 10-12: Be willing to negotiate everything except for your values, humility, and the happy man has a thousand wishes while the sad man gets one.

(24:47) - Lesson 13: Failure leads to learning. Learning leads to success. Success leads to complacency. Complacency leads to failure. It's not a destination, it's not linear. It's cyclical.

(26:59) - (Bonus) Lesson 14: Paying any amount of money to make obvious truths real.
