Power Quotes From The ShowYou Don't Have to Sacrifice Everything for Success
"We have this culture in the entrepreneurial world that you must sacrifice everything for business success. In my world, sacrificing everything means there is no success. The reality of the really successful entrepreneurs is that they are taking care of themselves and they understand where they're going to go and what they're seeing." - Alex Charfen
The More Money, The Greater The Contribution
"Money is an energetic and capital. In a capitalist society where people can choose where to put their money, money flows to the person making the greatest contribution. If you want to make a massive contribution, then make a massive amount of money, and you have proof that you've done that." - Alex Charfen
You Are Here to Change The World
"For people like me, who have been in that place where you feel like you're completely alone, the entire world is against you, and you either have to survive the system or gain the system in order to live. The legacy I want to leave behind is that every person who's ever felt like that knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that not only do you matter, not only are you capable, and not only were you put here to do something, but the fact that you're different from everyone else is exactly the message given you by the universe that you're here to change the world. You are here to make a massive contribution and no one should tell you otherwise." - Alex Charfen

Alex Charfen is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and coach who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs with 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses grow and scale.
He went from declaring bankruptcy as a real estate investor in 2007 to building a certification program for realtors that put his business at No. 21 of the Inc. 500 list in 2011.
The company’s revenues grew from $500K to $9.9M in 4 years, forcing him to create systems and frameworks that could handle rapid growth.
Before long, he was approached by other entrepreneurs who needed help creating structure in their own businesses.
This experience eventually led to his current company, Simple Operations.
As the Co-Founder and CEO, Alex now shows entrepreneurs how to simplify their business operations so they can make an impact in the world without having to do it all themselves.
