I Live the Same Day 7 Days a Week

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.

Tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids.

This man discribes my hell. 7 day's a week the same thing😱

[mattf]

Man I thought he was gonna say I love every aspect of that day except eating dinner with my wife lol

[Brandon-Paez]

Im at the building block phase of my business and videos like these are what pushes me to keep going

[milton]

So basically his wife sees him at dinner. Full stop.

Great relationship 👍

[austinatomTV]

Exactly. It works for HIM and countless others. It may not work for YOU though. I love when people are transparent and actually say their way isn’t the only way.

[nneisler]

I'm glad he is enjoying his day at least. That is something to aim for. He is an aspiration to keep working on all the areas of our lives.

[jansmit]

It's called discipline.. I'm a farmer who has the same routine pretty much everyday too.. except the type of work varies. You have to have a dedicated commitment every single day or you will just get lost in terms of drive and focus

[creativecraving]

Reaching my ideal work week while supporting my family is exactly my goal. If I could start from there, I'd never have a reason to grow.

[DThisGuy]

I wish my life had some semblance of consistency. To me, that schedule sounds amazing.

[majikp]

Importantly he loves it and it works for him.

[sevensages]

Alex, you forgot the hours you spend making social media videos you flood the market with weekly!!!🧐

[Calzone]

I live life by the day as I don’t know when my last day will be so if someone asks me to ‘go for a drink’ best believe I’m going for that drink or a spontaneous travel to a hot country

[oceanblue]

Not quite sure where Alex makes the time to do 2400+ podcasts in that schedule

[eclecticd]

This man enjoys life’s luxuries in the simplest forms. I may not live overlooking there city but I too enjoy the comfort of a nice routine and the occasional trips

[Christoff]

In other words, he works 8 hours a day like everyone else, but has reached the point that he has a team to do all the mundane stuff, so he can focus on his book.

He is wellll past the grind phase. 😂

[blessedUN]

We need a tour of the condo and recliner that overlooks the city 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ovidiu]

Isn’t this like a comfort zone you created around you ?

[AllMoneyInDre]

My days have variety’s but it’s always the same activities on certain days. We always go to church on Wednesdays and Sundays, I always go to work on week days from 7-3. Then it’s either fishing my son, playing tackle football with him or going to his cousins house. Then at 7-11 it’s study time anything after 3 until 7 is family time and I love it.

If that’s the end state you’re going for I guess…. Sounds like a self made prison personally. Be diligent and disciplined in everything but don’t forget to live your life in the process.
