Because you don't have the skills to wield it." - Alex HormoziEntrepreneur Alex Hormozi shares a transformative perspective that challenges conventional investment wisdom, revealing why investing in yourself trumps any stock market return. Drawing from his family's experience of losing everything to government seizure and his father's journey from arriving in America with just $1,000 to becoming a successful doctor, Hormozi exposes the critical flaw in get-rich-quick mentalities. His powerful analogy of wishing for a weapon without the skill to wield it illuminates why so many lottery winners and overnight success stories end up broke again.Hormozi's "S&Me 500" philosophy demonstrates how a $1,000 investment in skill development can yield exponentially greater returns than traditional investments, potentially turning modest savings into $30,000 rather than $1,300. His grandfather's wisdom about having "two hands and one brain" becomes a blueprint for building unshakeable wealth that no government, divorce, or economic crash can confiscate. Through raw honesty about money behaviors and the psychology of wealth-building, this conversation reveals the difference between gambling on luck and systematically building lasting financial success through skill mastery and extended time horizons.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
