How I got here…

21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.

Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).

To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.

You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.

Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.

Never quit,

Alex

*FULL DISCLOSURE*
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.

Wow, this is so me. Every time I have a good idea, I share it enthusiastically with everyone, but they never seem to help or want to join in on what I’d like to do. This time, it’s different. I’m carving my own path and showing everyone what I’m capable of. 🔥

I’m 40 now—it's now or never. I don’t want to turn 70 and regret not pursuing what I truly want to do. I finally have the confidence to go for it. This is my year! Hard work will pay off!

Being alone has been my biggest accomplishments
Validating myself so I don’t need it from others
Lone wolf who howls alone lives alone is happy alone

Building relationship with yourself is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

I set up my business during COVID guiding people to manage their e-commerce suppliers from Asia. My gf left me while I was setting it up. It took me a lot longer to build and many nights feeling sorry for myself, but finally once I discovered how to add value, throughout every stage of the process it changed the game for me and my clients. Keep it up everyone—your day will come!

So true. Time is short and at the end of the day we need to be wise with the memories we can choose

Everything changed in my life when l truly believed in me, stopped lying to myself and committed to being authentic. Life begins and ends with you worry about disappointing YOU!!! Have high standards don’t let yourself down… you will not build the confidence necessary to compete in this world without this commitment to the number person in your life YOU 👌

I’ve been betting on myself and boot strapping my business, but I’m getting really tired of trying to promote and still being invisible… I know the value of my services, but no one sees me and I’m just so freaking tired. I guess this is one of those moments as a new business owner where you feel like you’re going to break down. Maybe that means I need to shelter in place and let the seeds grow.

You have to bet everything on yourself and work really hard so that it stops being just a bet.

THE ONLY THINK HE SAID IS

THATS WHY I AM HERE

In 2009, I pitched an idea to family about a food delivery service. I told them, “think Chinese takeout delivery but for EVERYTHING. McDonald’s and Wendy’s, etc.” They all laughed at me and told me that NOBODY was ever going to pay for McDonald’s to be delivered. I kick myself in the ass every day for not having followed through.
