Paying attention to profit can possibly make you millions. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about how a key moment in his life became the catalyst of his decision-making, the struggles he went through, and the success that followed 6 to 12 months after with Gym Launch.

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