Can You Have a Relationship and Run a Business? | Hormozi Q&A

0:00Okay. Give tips on how to get into a relationship when you're working to get to your best life. Like start a business and risk stuff. I don't know what that means. Crazy Chris. >> I think it's funny when people say, "I want to have my best life." As if a relationship is not part of your best life. Find that ironic because like we, for example, have like built our lives together. I think it depends on what kind of relationship you want. But in general, people are like, "Well, it's just really hard. I don't have time." I'm like, "Well, what do you think it's like when you're in a relationship?"

0:27Like, >> even less time. It's even less time. So, um, >> tough. >> Yeah, it's >> tough out there. >> It's tough out there. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. >> I think something that you said to me last night actually um was you were you were talking about >> convenient. >> What? >> It's not convenient. >> Yeah, it's not convenient. And I think that's the thing is like right now um we have this big societal like narrative that everyone should maximize all options. And so it's all about freedom and independence and like

0:53>> mult like maximum efficiency. >> Yeah. Don't let anything tie you down. All that kind of stuff. But the thing is is like I think it's about having options so that you can make a selection. The goal is not to always maximize options because at some point you need to decide. And so the easiest way that I can think about this is like let's say you're like I want to maximize the options of where I live, right? And so as a result you'll not have a home anywhere because you're like well I want to be able to do the mountains and I want to be able to do the valleys and I want to be able to do the desert and I also want to be able to do the snow. And the thing is is like there is no location that does all those things, right? Unless you're in the Dubai Mall.

1:29But but the the idea follows which is that like in order to reap some of the rewards, you do need to pick and when you pick uh we define commitment as the elimination of alternatives, which means that if you're like you said differently, you cannot have a lifelong partner and then also have ultimate optionality. If optality is the thing that is more important to you, then you will not have a lifelong partner. And that's the choice. And to be clear, I don't think either of us are saying there's anything wrong with that. Just know the Just know the trade you're making.

1:55>> Yeah, it's not convenient. I mean, it's like pursuing anything in life. It's like it's not going to be convenient. And is it worth the trade? >> Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so, I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. what the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate.
