ALEX HORMOZI
About this episode

"Some business owners stay stuck at the same level just to feed their own ego." In this episode, Alex (@AlexHormozi) defines hard work in a new way; as the messy, ambiguous work that is required to solve the next constraint in your business. Uncharted territory that seems impossible but is so important if you just did that one thing, all your other goals would get accomplished.

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 and will learn on his path from $100M to $1B in net worth.
