I Helped 6 Business Owners Make More Money

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 weirdly is the most insightful video I've seen from Alex because he actually gets to solve real people's struggles live.

[joaobodanese]

We need more of this. Please Alex & team consider doing more of this type of contents. I know it’s probably not the most leveraged way for Alex but it’s way too valuable. I hope this video gets a lot of views likes etc for it to be worth it

[ranaa]

100M lead book is still the best book ever 💪

[Adbroad-kmgo]

How fast he calculated LTV at 20:25 really shows that he's done that kind of thinking so much it's become second nature, inspiring

[ryanvonderhaar]

dude looks ripped, tired, and calm and not unwilling,
ty for the time

[iamkazen]

Alex is helping me repair all the damage that i did over the years by lying to myself and others. Theres simply more value in having candour and i see it so clearly now at 20 years old. My relationships will never be the same

[nelsonang]

if Alex makes this a series, it should be called “No Bullshit with Alex!” i needed this... mega thanks!!!

[sickle]

Alex is a big firehose of value, just blasting value in everyone's face

[reiniervaneijk]

We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. Thanks for both, constantly, Alex.

[RakeshLahoti]

This is by far one of the BEST videos. The fact that it’s concrete answers to specific business problems makes it so much easier to understand. Please do more of these 🙏

[HavenatLee]

This is next level, Alex! Just finished the book.. and this Q&A was priceless.. Your compassion, courage and drive makes receiving correction from you an incredible experience… 🙏🏽

[SympaDeReussir]

I am following you from Colombia, I am french (just to show the diversity of your audience you impact) and I have to say, your FREE content is STUNNING ! I have bought your 2 books, arriving this week from the USA to Colombia ! what it is amazing is that your content and strategies help as much the beginner entrepreneur like me and the ...strongest ones ! I say "Merci beaucoup" :)

Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that I've been sober for 1, 448 days.

16:35 the way Alex's face lit up when the guy said gym space is so wholesome 😂

[nononsense]

This content form…Good lord it’s overwhelming value AGAIN I’m drowning in value but I love it LEGEND is an understatement!!!

[svenlucas]

Hey Alex, would it be a good idea to make a long form vid about the first year of starting a business. What that can look like and what you would do if you had to start over?

Appreciate the content, the books and the video's help out a ton of us, keep doing what you're doing!

[sirguy]

Alex’s courses will rule the internet! Alex will destroy the “con artists” by his fantastic approach of reality, hard work, and motivation.

[egdapo]

As a guy, the advice you gave Nicole BLEW my fuckin mind! Best shit ive heard on intentionally starting/navigating a relationship in a LONG time.

[GuillermoSanchez-fupu]

We owe everyone our love. Give it freely and expect nothing in return.

Seems like once you have the leads, wherever they are from, scrapped, or brokers, they draw up leads that already have their needs met (their information is already out there)and it's difficult to find a niche or pitch, and researching the companies is taking a long time. I really appreciated in the last video you broke it down and told us that contacting the leads in voice gave half your sales. The quick "you need this-yes-no-ok" simplified it for me and gave me a lot of hope.
