ALEX HORMOZI
About this episode

"The reality is that if you start something that you can't finish, the likelihood that you're going to finish it faster is way, way, way higher.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares his second biggest productivity hack, which is to utilize the small chunks of time in between appointments or tasks instead of wasting them. He emphasizes the importance of breaking the habit of thinking that nothing can be accomplished in those short periods of time. Instead, he suggests starting a task and leaving it unfinished to maximize productivity.

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.

Timestamps:

(0:37) - Most wasted as an entrepreneur: minutes in between rounded off minutes.

(2:11) - Driven to get back to writing, won't stop until next loop.

(3:22) - Shift of thinking: start something and not finish it.
