In 3 years, Alex Hormozi took $1,036 and turned it into an $85,000,000 business.

Steal Alex’s 4 step formula to scaling your business.
👇👇👇 Image
Here’s the Formula:

1. Scale the Entrepreneur
2. Scale the Market
3. Scale the Deliverable
4. Scale the Business

Let’s break that down...
1. Scale the Entrepreneur

You need to continuously build higher and higher leverage skills as your company grows.

So what does “leverage” mean when it comes to your personal skill set?
Skillset leverage is measured by your impact on people, markets, or systems.

Example: A sales person impacts 20 clients per day.

Their sales manager impacts an entire team of 10 sales people and all of their clients (200 clients per day).

This is Alex’s Skill Stack:
2. Scale the Market

Market choice is a massive decision.

Warren Buffett once said:

“Great entrepreneurs can easily fail in poor markets. Whereas poor entrepreneurs can do great in attractive markets.”

Here’s how you select attractive markets:
1. Your customers desperately need what you’re selling.

2. They can afford your product/service.

3. You can easily target your customers.

4. Your market is growing in demand.
3. Scale the Deliverable

There are 4 C’s to leverage.

The higher up the pyramid you go, the more leverage exists.

Ex: Joe Rogan records one YT video in 2 hours and sends it to millions of eyeballs with no additional cost.
This is Alex Hormozi’s example of scaling his deliverable.

You’ll notice he uses human labor as leverage in the beginning, then media, then capital, and he plans to build software in the future.
4. Scale the Business

These frameworks work better or worse depending on what size of company you are.

Once you rise to $10M+ in revenue, you have to professionalize, systemize, and automate as much as possible.

Processes and systems are crucial here.
Framework X:

The biggest thing holding people back from making the biggest jumps in revenue growth is talent.

You need other rockstar employees to champion the vision of the business for you.
Similar to a marketing funnel or sales funnel, you need to build a talent funnel.

This funnel is going to be the most important thing you build.

It brings in your entire executive team, new CEO, COO, CMO, all your VPs, etc.

I discovered a guy making $480,000 by himself selling publicly available information.

His name is Alex West and he runs a company called Cyber Leads.
Cyber Leads compiles thousands of recently venture funded companies from all over the world that recently raised a bunch of money, and sends that information as a monthly newsletter to subscribers.

The idea is fantastic.
All of these VC backed companies have just gotten large injections of cash, and they’re very likely to need to outsource things like email outreach, advertising, branding, design, recruitment, etc.

Winc - a $112,000,000 wine subscription box business - just filed for Bankruptcy.

I dove into their financials to figure out why, so if you’re looking for a case study showing why “good” companies fail, you found it! Image
Here’s a summary:

1/ Industry and business model
2/ Financial review
3/ Why they’re losing
1/ Industry and business model

Wine is a cutthroat industry overall, but Winc’s “Ideate, Launch, Amplify” framework acts as a differentiator:

Here’s the framework:

You can't run a business without understanding your cash conversion cycle.

Here’s a quick guide: Image
The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is basically the amount of time it takes for a dollar to be turned into cash after it’s invested.

I’m simplifying a bit here, but let’s keep diving in…
This is the formula for calculating it:

CCC = DIO + DSO - DPO

OR

CCC = Days Inventory Outstanding + Days Sales Outstanding - Days Payables Outstanding.

If you've ever heard the term "Brand Equity" and thought, "what the hell does that mean," read this...

To illustrate, let me show you how a $10 candle is sold for $125.

Answer this question,

Which candle feels more expensive? ImageImageImageImage
Two of these candles are $25, one is $50, and the other is $125

But I bet you looked carefully at one candle and thought "that one is more expensive for sure."
This thread is a lesson in perceived quality associated with brand equity.

I discovered a guy making $4,800,000 selling bedsheets online with 6 employees.

That's a wake-up call!

Here's his story: Image
Colin Mcintosh had a rough start in his career.

He was fired from his first job at the world's largest hedge fund after just 5 months, then laid off from his next two jobs all in the span of 2 years.
Why was he fired?

Because he was consistently told by his manager that he was “too empathetic to work here.” and “failed to adjust his behavior.”

Talk about a bad culture fit…

Over the next 7 days, nearly $249,000,000,000 will be spent on Black Friday.

This is up 30% from 2020.

Here’s what you need to know about Black Friday:
Black Friday, like most American holidays, has been commercialized to sell more products.

Valentine’s day was commercialized by Hershey’s to sell more chocolate.

Retailers commercialized Halloween to cure a fall sales slump.

Black Friday was commercialized the same.
Today, Black Friday is used by advertisers to capture their customer’s Christmas spending from their competitors.

Easiest way to do this?

Offer great discounts.
