The Biggest Mistakes that Entrepreneurs ...

ALEX HORMOZI
About this episode

“The only reason you shouldn't be doing more reps and adding to the bar, adding to the stuff that you sell, is that you literally have no more people to sell to. And until you have that problem, you should focus on the one thing.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) discusses a common mistake that entrepreneurs do when it comes to taking on more opportunities than they can handle, the parallel between lifting weights and doing business, and why focusing on one thing at a time will give you the best results than dipping your feet into many ponds at the same time.

Welcome to The Game w/Alex Hormozi, hosted by entrepreneur, founder, investor, author, public speaker, and content creator Alex Hormozi. 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.
