Leila Hormozi
About this episode

“Acquiring skills doesn't feel good. Because you have to suck before you're good.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) answers questions from her audience about enduring discomfort for growth, leading without experience, motivating oneself and others, handling personal stress while managing a business, and practical steps to scaling a business and nurturing leadership skills. She shares personal experiences and insights on overcoming challenges, leading with honesty and transparency, ensuring cultural fit in hiring, and the importance of aligning personal values with company values. This is part 1 of the session.

Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
