Published 5 months ago
Description
A vivid personal account from Alex Hormozi about leaving a lucrative but unfulfilling consulting career—pursued largely to gain his father’s approval—to follow his own vision in the fitness industry. He describes the years of hardship, isolation, and repeated setbacks he endured while launching his first gym, including sleeping on the floor and surviving constant financial strain. Hormozi underscores the need for personal accountability, ruthless efficiency, and a willingness to walk a lonely path if one wants exceptional success. He concludes that these struggles are never wasted because they forge character and resilience, not just outcomes. He also notes how public support shifts—from cheering on the underdog to criticizing the successful—emphasizing the importance of being your own first and strongest supporter.
