How to Actually Get Better at Anything

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

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.

Heard a saying once in the shooting/training world that really stuck out to me.

“You have 12 years of first year experience”

It’s like farming and choosing the best crop, then using those seeds for the next season. Which one taste the best. Has the most yield. Drought and bug resistant.

Love your videos. Building my business from ground zero can be so discouraging. It’s like climbing a mountain. Your videos and content are so valuable and you are so generous. Thank you

How would 1 video be better than “the other 100” if they only filmed 100 videos? That’s just math

Can anyone share the video link / name please?

In YouTube, it's called the 1-10 scoring system.

I needed to hear this today. Thanks man. God bless.

I appreciate your help a lot not many people Sadly don’t need to learn how to be more logical. They need to the illogical (not just A+B solving calculations) learn faith which is believing they can do so when you don’t see a puzzle piece to be connected. There’s people who only see the value in the process rather than in the day at the beach result. Which we learn to protect our peace thank God.

Me on my way to dislike the video so I can get all the knowledge:
