Summary

Growth comes through elimination. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us his more in-depth perspective on why it’s okay to have friendships that don’t last long, the kinds of relationships that we need to keep in order to succeed in life, and why you should never take to heart the words or labels that are said about you (even if they’re from loved ones). This is part 1 of the episode.

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.

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 whoever showed you,
0:16.4	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. One of the big things with identity is the labels that we say
0:28.0	about ourselves, I am X, I am impatient, I am angry, I am whatever. And people in your past
0:35.0	have the identity that they know you as, and then they will speak and they will beat that label
0:40.2	into you because you're not matching their pattern. Why have you changed? You are X, you are Y,
0:45.6	and you're trying to not be that because you're doing something different than changing,
0:49.2	you're growing. Welcome to the game where we talk about how to sell more stuff to more people in
0:54.4	more ways and build businesses worth owning. I'm trying to build a billion dollar thing with
0:58.2	acquisition.com, I always wished Baso's musk and Buffett had documented their journey, so I'm doing
1:02.6	it for the rest of us. Please share and enjoy. I have shed friends basically every season of my life.

1:15.2	gone from first, I was a high school womanizer for the most part, like externally, and then I was
1:22.8	also really deeply angry for my teenage into 19ish, like 15 to 19, that was that three to five
1:30.4	year season. And then I had my come to Jesus where my dad was like, hey, you suck as human, you have
1:36.0	terrible reputation, maybe you should stop being who you are, which I took to heart, and I cleaned up
1:40.6	my act, I stopped drinking nearly as much as I was, I stopped being the womanizer that I was at the
