"I wanted to make a million dollars a year. And I wanted to not work that much," he says. "That still is to date the most terrifying decision I've ever made in my entire life." He quit his job as an investment banker and started a gym, but it took six months for him to get there. 'It actually just gets easier once you burn the boats'
“But the difference between somebody who's loyal or not is whether they cheat, right? And so I think that it's the same thing with patience. It's the same thing with honesty.” Today, join Alex (@AlexHormozi) as he guests on Erika Taught Me to share his insights on the importance of accepting that success is the result of many small things, not just one big thing.
