14 Life Lessons From Alex Hormozi

1. 🧠 You make better decisions and learn more by assuming that you are dumber than everyone else.

To make better decisions, you need to learn. And the first requisite for learning is not talking.

2. 💪 The hardest respect to earn is one’s own.

Behavior change leads to reputation change. Respect yourself first, and others will begin to respect you as a result.

3. 🗣️ If you want to control what people think, control what they say.

Equip people with simple language to describe what you have. Help people talk about your products or services with words they understand.

4. 📚 You get more out of reading 1 great book 5 times than out of reading 5 mediocre books.

If your behavior doesn’t change as a result of reading a book, it means you have learned nothing. Find something that is good and suck everything out of it.

5. 🏆 Most champions do not have something you don’t have; they lack something you have.

Champions have a singular focus and are willing to say no to everything else. Champions sacrifice more.

6. 🤝 Goodwill compounds faster than money.

Goodwill grows significantly faster than any monetary move. Focus on your audience and goodwill.

7. ☠️ You are going to die.

Very little weight should be given to other people’s opinions on how we live our lives. If you don’t like the life they have, then it is not worth listening to.

8. 🔁 Extraordinary accomplishments come from doing ordinary things for extraordinary periods of time.

If you do one thing for a very long period of time, you will get very good at it, and it will compound onto itself. It’s the commitment to a specific action for extraordinary periods of time that makes someone great.

9. 🎯 If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

It’s not about getting it done, it’s about doing it well. The ocean between good and great is vast. Be selective about the few things you choose to do that are worth doing.

10. ⚖️ Be willing to negotiate everything except your values.

Virtually everything is negotiable. Negotiate the best solution for today and tomorrow.

11. 🙇 Humility.

Humility is not increasing regard for yourself, but increasing regard for others. You gain status by giving more (sacrificing for) the group than you get.

12. 🙏 The happy man has 1,000 wishes, the sad man has 1.

Everyone just wants to feel better. Focus on doing things and making progress.

13. 🔄 Failure leads to learning, learning leads to success, success leads to complacency, complacency leads to failure.

The entire entrepreneurial process is cyclical. Your goal is to go from learning to success quickly and skip the complacency step altogether.

14. 💸 I would pay any amount of money to make obvious truths real for me.

Part of the entrepreneurial journey is shedding false truths. You can learn from anyone. Pay any amount of money to have a more accurate view of reality.
