About this episode

"If what you do every day doesn't necessarily change, but how much you get credit for, it does, then you get more for what you put in.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) discusses how to identify and solve the real constraints holding back a business. He also provides examples of three businesses with different problems but the same larger issue and explains how to approach each one to find the real constraint and create a path to growth.

On this podcast you’ll hear how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, how to keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons Alex has learned on his path from $100M to $1B in net worth.
