"Should I Quit My Job?"

I own a design build ADU company based out of city of San Diego. We do $5 million a year looking to go to 10. So I'm actually a professional firefighter and have been for the past 18 years. >> Okay. >> And so I have yet to go all in on this company because that's what >> Yeah, bro. All in. >> I'm a servant. I have a servant's heart. That's what I enjoy doing. There's it's a selfish endeavor, right? >> So the question is I make $168,000 a year and I make $600,000 a year in another thing >> and I would like to know when I am secure enough with my $600,000 a year to make up for 168. It's not about money. Like I have I have more than I could ever have dreamed for. Like ever. You know, you having done that, gone to the other side of it, where are you going to find meaning? What do you do on the other side of this thing? Look for something else to do, right? So, I'm just >> I'm a big believer that a man must have a quest. This seems much more like a what do I do with my life question? Why is there a problem? The premise of this was I'm at 168. I've got 600K a year waiting for me here. And if I actually spent more time on it, I'm sure I could grow it, which I'm sure you could because you'd have the time back. But I don't want to quit. And to me that's like then don't quit. >> No, I I do want to quit. And to be honest, I was going to ask. >> So what are you going to do? >> That's a good question. >> So you'd like to quit. You're comfortable. You think you could grow this thing more. Yeah. >> And you're afraid to do it. >> There you go. >> And you rationalize why because of these other reasons, but you know that's not really true. >> It's like a therapy session. >> So does that does that give you the answer? >> It does. Go.

We provide in-person advisory for companies doing at least $1M per year: https://www.acquisition.com/workshop-yt-d If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $250,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below. How I got here… 21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job. 23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym). 24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations. 26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything. 26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time. 26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked. 27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months. 28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year. 29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months. 31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal. 31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it) 31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit. 32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses. 34 yrs old: I became co-owner of https://Skool.com, which is a platform for people to build communities online, making a living doing what they love, with people like them. 36 yrs old: I did a $106M book launch selling 3.6M copies of my $100M Money Models book, in 72 hours, breaking the Guinness world record for the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time. Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos). To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story. You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win. Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
