Hack to Cure Your Phone Addiction

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.

Kept it like this for 3 months and it my screen time went down from 8 hours and 50 minutes to a whopping 8 hours and 32 minutes, thank you

Makes total sense, our brains are stimulated visually. Turning it to black & white turns most of that stimulation off.

It’s true, I’ve done it for about 3 weeks now. Completely changed my perspective

[janne]

Wow. I felt the difference immediately. I keep finding myself looking away from my screen, almost startled by the technicolor world around me.

[Fahad-]

No. I'm keeping this on forever. Great man, Great to have Alex hormozi.

Guys I highly recommend this, I’ve had this enabled for like a year and it’s very helpful especially 2-4 hours before sleeping

I also put all my social media apps on the 3rd screen (harder to find) and turned off ALL notifications. This helped me tons
