Summary

"The amount of work required to build something amazing and huge just takes time." Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) reflects on his experience at a YouTube meetup and how it reminded him of the importance of putting in great effort to create exceptional work. He shares examples and lessons learned to inspire listeners to rethink their approach to work and strive for excellence.

We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

0:00.0	Real quick, guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably
0:03.8	tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that.
0:07.5	The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships,
0:12.2	I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do you ever show to
0:16.4	you or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review,
0:21.0	if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment
0:24.3	out there for another entrepreneur. And building an exceptional product takes a level of work
0:28.8	that most people are not accustomed to doing. And this has probably been a continuous learning
0:33.2	experience in my entrepreneurial career is how much work it takes to be good, or rather,
0:37.7	how much work it takes to be the best. Welcome to the game where we talk about how to sell more stuff

0:58.9	So every year I always like to look back and think about my lessons and failures from the year,
1:03.5	or any kind of big frame shifts that's happened. And this year I had two. And I'm just going to
1:08.9	talk about one of them, which was level of effort. And the big reminder on this was I went to this
1:17.3	little YouTube meetup of guys who had, you know, from five million to several hundred million
1:24.2	subscribers on YouTube. So very, very big creators. For whatever reason, they thought that little
1:29.1	old me would, you know, be cool to have in the room. And what was amazing to me was how much work
1:36.9	they were putting into every video. And so I'm going to give you some context here for everyone who
1:40.5	asks because I get on podcasts and I get asked on stage and they're like, how do you make
1:44.3	your YouTube videos? And I want to be clear, after having been to this thing, I think we make horrible
