You Don't Need To Wait Until 2025

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.

I started going to the gym a couple months ago. I’ve started reading at night. I’m saving up and studying to own a food truck. Exploring various hobbies and side projects. Finally taking my drivers license test on the 10th. This time next year I’ll be able to lift 100+ Ibs more on every exercise, I’ll have read at least 6 books, I’ll be enjoying the new trials and tribulations my food truck business brings me, maybe I’ll be driving myself to Mexico or Alaska or something to celebrate my 21st birthday, but most importantly no matter what happens I’ll have grown and gotten better. And fuck waiting to make that happen.

The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago, the second best time is right now…

As someone who is learning programming it definitely takes longer than 20 hours to become decent at it

Well, it only takes twenty hours to get decent at many software use, sales and marketing activities, anyway. 😂 “Anything” is a rather long list.
