Summary

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about why it’s okay to accept the negative feelings or situations we have and leverage on these emotions instead of improving on them. Sometimes, negative fuel can drive you to do better.

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:

(2:28) - Half of your life is below average by definition. If you are not using half of your life as energy or motivation to create the life you want, then you're at a huge disadvantage

(4:14) - You were poor because you're not doing the activities that make you rich and you can fuel those activities. If you are somebody who is more motivated by the dark side, then lean into the dark side because it may benefit you

(5:31) - Painful experiences in your past can be used as a guide to avoiding certain circumstances or situations in the future.

(7:08) - Alex had spent too long trying to get the right motivation rather than accept the energy that I had overflowing from him, which was pain. You can turn pain into something that fuels you

(10:47) - The difference between what your best is and what is required is the difference between what you think your real best is and what your actual best is
