Summary

Sometimes, ignorance can be bliss. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) talks about why you shouldn’t listen to the advice of your parents or relatives. It might sound a bit controversial, but it’s not what you think...

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:

(0:54) - Sometimes, people who are close to us become our greatest critics. When you fail, it makes it easier for them to say "I told you so"

(2:08) - The only way to not guarantee your success is not taking the risk, to begin with. They don't have an accurate understanding of risk. The biggest risk is not doing anything at all!

(4:49) - Most people will oppose you most of the time because it is safer to do so

0:34.5	Hi, my name is Alex Ramozi. I own a portfolio of companies that is $85 million a year in revenue and I'm absolutely
0:39.2	nothing to sell you. I make this channel because a lot of people are broken. I don't want you to be one of them.
0:42.8	And so one of the things that happens, and this is at any age, like I know guys who are making millions of
0:46.4	millions of dollars a year and still, you know, are insecure about what their parents tell them about X, Y, and Z.
