I'll wake up between 3am to 7am

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.

“When Leila’s morning wood pokes me in the leg I usually start my day.”

[titoelcomombiano]

When your wife's voice is more manly than yours

[stefanmatton]

Women realllyyyy need to be careful of virilisation when using PED's... its irreversible

[ToxicHorsePucky]

I’ve seen a dozen shorts from this podcast and this is the first I’ve heard Leila speak lmao

[Lexxifyy]

He feels a poke in the back and that wakes him up

[typicalindian]

YO I was looking at the comments while listening to the short and every comment was talking about leila’s voice and I was like “what voice?”. It took me a solid minute to understand that it was HER VOICE

[Giluville]

why did no one ask him what time does he go to bed

[brighterdayscome]

I do that. It's 3:31a.m. right now and I've been up for an hour and it's Sunday morning.

[JaviEngineer]

when I heard that woman talk. I almost fell off my seat. LMFAO

[daion]

At 4am god dang! Ive been trying to be educate myself to be successful and waking up at 4 to go to the gym isn't easy but it's a grind man

[shumatsuopost]

Waking up early definitely has its benefits, like having more time to get things done and starting the day with a clear mind. However, it's important to make sure you're getting enough sleep and not sacrificing your health for productivity.

[Malluminati]

"If Leyla is up, I'll have coffee with her, ..and if she's not up, I'll not have coffee with her and have it alone" 😂😂😂

[Ewartist]

When you can get more done before 5am than most people do in their entire day, you're killing it. Being idle is torture.

[BigDaddyReal]

Sounds like my pattern... the peace that early and I'm done early.

[EndstyleGG]

When does he go to sleep? Why is the time he wakes up so stunning, it doesn't mean anything without context

[kinmyname]

her and graham have similar voices i almost couldn’t tell who was talking

[Gilbertodlgg]

Is excellent advice to not have an alarm clock, thanks pal, keep the good content.

[mok]

The sun starts coming up at around 3.3, if you are well balanced and Insynch. You well naturally start waking up around that time. Do some meditation. Eat properly. Involve yourself fully in day to day life. And I will guarenteed you, you will wake up at 3:3 am naturally

[smokingcrab]

When you're a super wealthy gigachad and can have any woman you want, but you're into traps.

[vangelnikoloski]

He wakes up so early so that he doesn't have to listen to his wifes voice first thing in the morning.
