Mein tatsächlicher Tagesablauf

0:00What does like a day in the life look like for you? Oh, it's I mean I could share my screen, but it's it's >> [laughter] >> it's it's uh I I I work on my own stuff until about 1:00 most days. Um so usually 5:00 to 1:00 is Alex time to do whatever. Um which is >> 5:00 a.m. to 1:00? Yeah. Oh, okay, cool.

0:22>> Um and then usually from 1:00 to 4:00 1:00 to 4:30-ish is when I do meetings. And then um that's it. Go to the gym, eat, and then I'm done. Sounds pretty chill. And where are you based at the moment? We're all over right now. Uh the hub is in Vegas, but we're here we're all over. You know what I mean? We travel a lot. So it's kind of like this is our in between when we're traveling spot.

0:50I remember you just talking to me about like how you like your office to be very like sparse and not overly fancy and stuff, and that's one of the things that really I I really vibe with with it in your in your videos. In that you seem to except until recently, you seem to just be filming on some shitty webcam and just like spouting knowledge, and it's just like mind-blowing. Cuz you haven't got the and the there's like a charm to the jankiness, and it's just like, "Whoa, [ __ ] I'm I'm I'm getting the real truth without any of the production value that like normally gets in the way."

1:19Yeah. Again, was that deliberate or is that just accidental or is that just how it's ended up being? I mean, that's how it started. You know what I mean? Like I'm a big I'm a big believer in just start, and you'll the path illuminates as you walk. You know what I mean? We now have I mean, I started without a media team, so I just clicked record, and I would send it I mean, I had my media team at Gym Launch, but it wasn't that business wasn't built on content. It was built on outbound and paid ads. So I just said, you know, click, you know, clip it, put a thumbnail on it, and post it on my YouTube. I didn't even know how to upload them. Just to I'll show you how silly it was. I was like, "Just upload it."

1:49And so I would just put it in a Dropbox, and they would upload it, and then that was that was what I did for the first, I don't know, 6 9 months. And then um, we hired somebody to, uh, to actually do recordings with the camera. Um, and so, he was like, "You know, if we did it like on the couch, it it would look a lot better." I was like, "Okay, that's fine." So, it took the same amount of time for me. Now, I just had some more people who could who could help, and it has shown, despite, you know, as much as I would lament, you know, I I would love to just do it like this, that all, you know, the audio quality's better, the video quality's better.

2:21Um, and the newer videos definitely do better from a objective standpoint. So, some people need to, you know, can't focus as long, and so, they need a little bit more, um, happening. And so, we can now, again, the whole point is to make it available to everybody. So, that means that people who don't have the attention span, I need to make something available for them, too. Um, so, I'm just doing my best to I'm just not going to [ __ ] and moan about the fact that like people's attention span shortened. Like, some people are like, "I I can't cover anything in 60 seconds." I'm like, there's a hell of a lot you can cover in 60 seconds if you know what you're saying.

2:53So, you know what I mean? Like, I'm just not I'm just I'm just not one to complain about what it is what it is. And so, I will do my best to match, you know, providing value to the context that that people are consuming it. Real quick, if you're a business owner, and you're not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling roadmap, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had, and what stages of growth they went through, and more importantly, where they got stuck, and how they got past it. And so, we broke it in these 10 stages, and we made this little kind of quiz thing, where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at, and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can book a call with my team and we will look at your business, see if we can help. And if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
