Summary

“But most people never even take the first step to give themselves a chance to know that they're capable of doing it.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares her personal journey that transformed their life from a troubled past of arrests to achieving success and financial stability. By changing her environment and overcoming destructive habits, Leila achieved a net worth of a hundred million dollars by the age of 28. The episode emphasizes the significance of one's environment in shaping behavior and attitudes while offering advice on independence, replacing destructive habits, and aligning actions with words, all of which contribute to building successful personal and professional relationships.

Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
