7 Essential business terms to know if you're serious about scaling:
1. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

How much it costs to get a new customer.

Total $ spent / new clients = CAC
2. Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS)

How much it costs to fulfill once a product/service is sold.

This is especially important and more complex to calculate for service providers.
3. Gross Profit

Total profit after deducting the CAC and COGS from your revenue.

Revenue - CAC - COGS = Gross Profit
4. Payback Period

How long it takes to achieve Gross Profit in excess of your CAC.
5. 30 Days Cash

How much money you can earn from a new customer in 30 days.
6. Lifetime Value (LTV)

How much each customer is worth on average.

Total $ of sales / total # of customers = LTV
7. Churn Rate

The % of clients you lose every month.

(Starting # of clients - ending # of clients) / starting # of clients = Churn Rate

10 Mindsets I wish I had in my 20's:
1. We do not work hard so that we can ________.

We work hard to work hard. The game is the reward.
2. The heaviest thing to carry around isn't iron or gold.

It's unmade decisions.

A lot of times we focus on arbitrary goals based on what we see others doing.

As a consequence, we feel shitty about ourselves.

These 15 lessons helped me feel better about myself (and become more successful):
1. You must do so much volume that it would be unreasonable to suck.
2. Working hard is the reward.

I lived cheap coming up.

But I was making so little, saving felt pointless.

So instead of saving my money, I invested it all on courses, coaching, workshops, books.

I never thought “Alex you should be saving more.”

My problem wasn’t my living expenses, it was my income…🧵
Too many folks are too cheap with themselves.

They obsess about how little they spend. But they don’t differentiate between investment and consumption.

If you spend money to learn how to draw blood (2 day cert) you can make $25/hr instantly.

3x min wage for a 2 day investment.
When I was poor I saved so that I could invest in me, not the SP500.

I can 10x my income with better skills. The sp500 cannot.

The younger you are the higher percentage of your income you can/should spend on getting skills that create more income.

Our portfolio companies make $75,000 per working hour (40 hrs/wk).

Building this has taken a long time.

Here are a few lessons I've learned:
1) Most things don't matter.

A few things matter a lot.

You can achieve outsized returns by only focusing on those few.

Figure out the few & ruthlessly eliminate the rest.
2) The size of your slice of the pie matters more than the shape.

Many people's egos want 100% of the pie (circle shape), whereas your bank account only cares how much it weighs.

Get people other people tied & compensated for the achievement of your vision.

Redefine living below your means as a sign of wealth, not poverty.
Wealth > Status

To me, being wealthy is about knowing you have enough—

And spending money on the things that matter most to you.

Not what you're told to care about.
Love seeing Mozination lording around in mozimobiles—

Defining wealth for themselves.

And doing the boring work to get things done on their own terms.
