$100M CEO shares the SECRET to the FASTEST road to FINANCIAL FREEDOM

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.

This channel has been like a business degree for me

The way Alex breaks down market value, and creates examples so easy to understand is so profound. "Exxon selling water, " "facebook selling eyeballs." Great insights!

[theroadtoamillion]

“You should either be earning or learning” I felt that 💯

[IvanPratx]

When I saw pictures of you on social I thought u'd be one of those "rah rah" motivational meatheads spitting nonsense but you're actually very smart. Props to you man great content, appreciate you putting it out.

God bless

Excellent! I have entrepreneur tendencies and have spent the last decade cashing checks in tech sales. I finally made the jump to full-time entrepreneurship. It's scary not getting a big paycheck when you are used to it. However, in just 8 months my company is worth almost two million dollars. Still not getting checks, but my net worth is growing substantially faster. High risk, high reward. Working very hard to make it to payday.

[bertwright]

I am amazed at how much value you bring and don't ask for a sale. I share your videos with people in my circle and reference your concepts often.

[gsgill]

Always insightful. Thank you for posting

[JohnnyB.]

Great video Alex! I think the way you tell it like it is, is very refreshing. Keep it up!!!

[joebondio]

I rarely like videos on YouTube or comment on them but there was so much value and truth in this video that compelled me to like and comment. Well done!

[damontayy]

It's so rare seeing Alex in HD, I freakin' love it!

[supcoachcal]

you're a baseball guy too huh? Im salivating over this next book!

[SyedMuktasid]

I appreciate that Alex and Leila don't want to have kids, but man imagine with their epigenetics and teachings, what kind of a beast they would raise 😱

[incitenexus]

Alex, can you make a video on structuring board of directors, issuance of shares, and board of director setup at a new profitable company? Outlining operator, customer acquisition, and service fulfilment? My c corp has all class A and class B shares issued to my name but I’m having trouble organizing top level structure for partners I’m trying to bring in. Would be extremely helpful.

The sign of a smart person is being able to teach complex topics to the masses. I’d say Mozi is a genius 🧠

[MrSirskyrim]

Alex when is your leadgen course coming out? That would be SUPER valuable

[Fortynienq]

bro just blew my mind when he said Facebook is selling free eyeballs like big companies are literally selling things that are basically free to them.

I just can't tell you how blown away I am right now.

[lanzpetrazio]

Alex, thank you for providing the community with valuable information and experiences. I am a rising senior in high school and considering Vanderbilt as my next step in life. If you have any tip or suggestions they would be gladly appreciated!

[austinbeyak]

Always great stuff. Excited for when its not all sex and glamour when talking about entrepreneurship.

[aibochan]

Are you and Rob Dyrdek in the same Tiger 21 group?

[manuelfernando]

Following ppl like Alex I have now embedded my brain in to think like a millionaire but now its about figuring out how to get there
