My name is Alex Hormozi. I'm an entrepreneur and investor. And today, I own a portfolio of companies that generates over [music] $250 million in aggregate revenue each year. But, it didn't start out like this. 15 years ago, I was sleeping on the floor of my gym trying to make my first business work. >> Hey guys, Alex here. Welcome back. >> Because of that journey, I founded acquisition.com. Where my team and I help other entrepreneurs get through
the hard, lonely parts of starting and scaling a business. >> [laughter] >> To show you what happens behind the scenes, I brought eight business owners together to compete for $100,000 and this golden ticket, which gives them access to an entire year of guidance from myself and the team behind my $250 million per year portfolio. Each business owner has 60 minutes with me to explain their business. So, tell me about the business. >> I own Keith's Roofing
Company. >> Founder of Boulder Adventure Park. >> I help people make stickers. >> And at the end, I'll give them a road map to scale their business as much as they can in 90 days. What do you think stopping you right now? You're thinking about this. >> I am. >> I'm thinking about this. Biggest thing that I don't like about the business is I hate selling hourly with a vicious passion. All right, let's see where you're
at in the scaling road map. This is my big 20X lever. >> When we'll be talking hundreds. >> We have to. You're losing a price because they have nothing else to say. >> The second wild idea that I had and again, this is wild. >> It's like >> Some will scale. >> This is awesome. >> Some will fail. Only one will win the grand prize. The question is, do I want to spend a year working with
you to scale this? So, the verdict is, this is Scale or Fail.
