What pivotal decision did Alex Hormozi make at 22?
I was 22. I had done everything that my dad had wanted me to do at this point. Alex Hormozy woke up one day, realized he had been living life for his parents, then made the hardest decision of his life. Sometimes you have to let other people's dreams for your life die for yours to live. And for me, it was like when I, when I continued to every day not want to wake up, that was my wake up call where I was like, either I continue to live this way and not want to be alive or... I just risked the fact that I'll die to everybody else. I was looking out from the condo that I'd been able to buy with this job that I had. And I was like, is this it? And the whole time I just really didn't enjoy my life. And it was just, you know,
not wanting to wake up. And it was the decision to leave Baltimore, which is where I was from, to quit that path, to decide to start a business of my own, was still to this day the hardest thing I've ever done. Because I had no siblings. I basically had no mother.
How did Alex Hormozi's father's approval impact his life choices?
I had just a father. And so like his approval was literally everything. And he disapproved of the path that I wanted to take in my life. And so I think a lot of these mental faculties or these little frameworks or these isms just came from like... How can I combat this incredibly booming voice in the background? Because when I look at what I was doing at the time, I was a consultant. I graduated in three years. I took the consulting job. I did all the things. But the craziest thing was that the moment that my father was most proud of me and he approved of my life the most was when I was the saddest. And so that's when I was like, maybe his approval isn't the right way to feel good about life. And so that started basically the six-month journey from when I decided that I wanted to change my life till when I changed it.
I moved to California to start a gym or get into fitness. And I got there and the guy who I said I was going to mentor under was like, where are you staying? And I was like, I don't know. I just got here. And he's like, what do you mean you don't know? I was like, I don't know. I just showed up. And so he went, he said I could sleep at his place that night. The next morning went to the gym and he got on a chair and said, Hey, who here is going to house this kid? And one guy came up to me, he was like, I'll give you a room. So I rented one room in a house for 400 bucks a month. And then when I left that room to start sleeping at the gym, I remember being actually kind of excited about it. I remember being like,
man, this is going to be a sick story. Yeah, this is going to be, I'm going to be, this is my Rocky cut scene, right? But the thing is that the Rocky cut scene lasts 30 seconds in the movie, but it can last five years in your life. My first gym was underneath of a parking garage. And so there's these metal dividers in the ceiling. And so cars would drive over this and it's a concrete box. And so it sounded like a gunshot, like... And it would happen at all hours of the night. And probably the most painful from an emotional perspective experience that I would have on a regular basis was that it was also abandoned enough parking a lot that college kids, kids my age, would go up and party on the roof.
What was the hardest decision Alex Hormozi faced in his career?
And so like while they were partying literally above my head and making noise that would prevent me from sleeping, I would be down below in a dark warehouse in a city that I knew no one. Like I was from Baltimore. I drove across the country. I went to Huntington Beach. I literally knew no one and no one knew me. And so I'm sleeping there. And then I realized that I can't really sleep at night. And so I'm taking basically I'm living on naps for the first six months of the gym. And like homeless people are sleeping in my parking lot and I have to like go out and tell them to like go away. And then I get back, lock the door and I go back on the AstroTurf, which is where I slept with a blanket and a pillow.
And I bring this up because like the visceral feeling that you go through. when you're going through the mound of shit period, or the shit-eating, what feels like a marathon, is that it becomes a 30-second soundbite in my story, but it was years.
