My Actual Productivity Routine (It's Made Me Millions)

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.

Boom! No producivity book needed. Hormozi has spoken 👏

[monkeyscircus]

Alex. The one person on youtube I don't need to 2x speed.

[todo]

Best for me is, wake up, directly work from 7-12 then meetings etc, so I agree with sir hormozi and I think that most people would, cheers

[CallMeUbba]

Back to front is fing genius. Just opened my 7th business and time management is definitely a problem that this helps big time

[briankelly]

Great idea, meetings absolutely cripple the day’s work

[JozsefPetenyi]

If you use colors it’s even better. Eg red for money related stuff, blue for health related stuff, green for social and entertainment stuff

[Widlomaa]

YES! Finally videos on business & personal planning. Been waiting for these!!

[Kingkodak]

Thx Alex I am going to start using this!!!

[CEOMindset]

Always stuff that make us money first thing in the morning

[tube-master]

Interesting approach to planning and productivity. Some days i have 3 meetings already by 10am and it is exausting 🤦‍♂️

[andreamaciasmagana]

Practical advice. He's my favourite. He's my boss's favourite. I've heard hi. Drip AHs name and lessons during sales calls. I've seen the prospects brain click and the 💡 moment

When do you work out usually and how often a week

[Yue_Know_Who]

Just like intel x86 architechture smart

[caiden]

If something has to happen at a specific time, schedule it. When it comes to everything else, just do the task.🙂It's more flexible, doesn't become obsessive, and there's much lower chance of failing to do things at exact times, meaning you won't needlessly feel like you've failed at something a bunch. And unlike for time wizards, time isn't a resource we can control. Energy and attention are, with different tasks requiring different amounts of energy for different people, not to mention we can only focus on one thing at a time (though we can do some things automatically and perceive on supraliminal and subliminal levels).
