Make $1M In 4 Years

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.

Pro tip: sell 1 person something worth a million.

[mauriciojcYT]

Pro tip plus: sell to 0.1 person something worth $10million

What do I sell for 10k, and how do I get that thing? That’s the hard part. Doing the work and calling people is easy.

[Thiefs]

You can do this with any goal break it down to its simplest form so it’s tangible to the mind

[soultrueskrlifelong]

The million is arbitrary. You don’t transcend when you hit it. Make sure your life is one worth living

[jacklepino]

You could also work a normal job where you earn 80k a year an work that for 12 years and you got your million. its not that hard people.

Following this logic, you must make $20, 000 every month. In the 4 years, you are a millionaire. (Provided you save all the money you make)

It also involves selling to a hundred clients every month for 4 years straight.

It’s complicated, it’s complex, but it’s worth trying.

Something wrong here with acquiring customers part.. if you acquire 2 people per week, then fisrt week you get 50$, next week 100$, 3rd week 150$, so the amount grows if they keep buying since the time you acquired them. But that wouldn’t be spread even 100 people over 4 years paying from day one.. the 99th and 100th people, that you acquired last would be paying only in last week of that 4th year

I don't think people understand how truly valuable this video is. I'm going to be a millionaire 😊

[jeneuweenlaf]

Well, i figured that I also have earned 2 million over my entire work life. But in between, I had to pay bills, feed kids, got sick, and I don't have a full 2m in my pocket now.

[wild]

This is really functional. Many companies make millions like this

[TommyGunzzz]

Wow. So my Buddy who bought a used car lot charging crazy interest probably makes a hell of a lot more than I think.

[topfirst]

That's true, but dropshipping business is working better for me and I will try to implement that

[topihamalainen]

And evade… excuse me, plan your taxes

[MindfulBodybuilding]

I remember an old video of this guy small channel doing a video about sending post cards for your Fitbiz glad to see the success

[stephenvp]

Cold calling is starting to be a thing of the past, when is the last time someone called you and you spent 20 bucks let alone 10k?

[Reclickd]

Just focus on $100m divided by 50 and then divided by 2 then you’ll make $1m

[MVProfits]

Wow, Amazing. I always do these kind of maths but this just make the 1M seem so in reach.

[Jason_Hubred]

No. Thanks to the gov't, they get 60% of what you earn selling, so you have to sell more than that to make $1M.

In relations to my personal business, I just gotta reached out to a lot of people with a flashy email subject line to hook them on a Monday. Maybe wonder most vulnerable? Either way new technique!
