When Rockefeller Turned The Tables

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

And he proceeded to fuck up what we know as the medical industry.

[jacofoot]

There is no overpaying to own the monopoly of a market.

[sculptedmarble]

This modern phenomenon of the merchant class being able to have this much influence and power over a country's resources is the very reason we have so many problems.

[michaelhashemi]

“Early on in his oil empire” was already the biggest at the time 😭

[raryfrt]

ok but how does this affect lebrons legacy?

[yanwain]

if i was john rockefeller i would have bought myself some lips

[lifesucks]

yeah, this is bad, those types of deals should immediately be stopped and if they do happen, companies should immediately be broken up

[MrPretends]

All I’m thinking about is how much of a mess bookkeeping must’ve been back then to be able to do 20 deals in a month lmao

Whatever! Just sign that shit lmao

[ImprobableWizard]

So he paid over the odds to create a monopoly which was worth it to him. Sucks for everyone else.

Actually the owner undervalued his refinery.

[Powerhouseworldwide]

In process of doing this in a good way. Thanks, boss.

[Exorcistt]

Talking with love about Rockefeller, that's low.

[rafaelmanolaros]

up to the point on buying a buissnes instead of starting 100% correct. overpaying for a buissnes is very contriversial and risky.if its a strategic move to wipe out a spesific competitor ok i get it. but for most occasions overpaying for a buissnes means that the buissneses profits wont be enough to ither pay the loan payments or be enough to keep on scaling the buissnes without needing to go for aditional capital raising.

[FamilyGuyAi]

Yeah cuz he became the foot soldier for the Devil not purely 100% Physical Realm

[zerogravity]

And then he doomed the entire human race with his education systems.

[ovariantrolley]

Ok young man thats very interesting but I just wanted to ask where the rockefeller centre was...

[danparish]

Doesn’t matter the price of the business when he now controls the price of the oil

[nicksmith-chandler]

You’re sick to mention this man and his people. The god of success has your mind. Elevate yourself!

[TheBrahn]

Just remember not to become a monopoly, because that's not good for anybody.

[Alex.Ungureanu]

In a way if the 2nd biggest business can buy the first biggest business then it wasn’t the 1st biggest in the first place no?

[zoomocracy]

He also owned a bunch of property in Fl pan handle for no specific reason at
