The Only Way To Become Exceptional - Alex Hormozi

not to piss off the positive Poes in the room but if you haven't gotten what you want then you're not worthy of it period and that's okay now you can admit that you suck and improve better to know you're bad for a season than pretend you're good for a lifetime you're not making as much money as you want because you're not as good as you think you are you're not struggling from imposter syndrome you're a student and pretending to be a teacher no students say they feel like frauds for trying to learn you're a fraud when you get up to teach the class and you've never done it deep I think it's just giving yourself permission to suck it's giving yourself permission to be unhappy it's giving yourself permission to not achieve while you do for a long period of time it's giving yourself permission to lose friends it's giving yourself permission to do things that's different than people in your Social Circle or your age group are doing it's giving giving you permission giving yourself permission to be an exception so that you can become exceptional and a lot of that the whole positive poly Mantra of like the I saw that I saw a post a girl made and she was like you are worthy and that's what made that tweet all my tweets are just responses to [ __ ] I say and so this girl was like you like I say this to myself in the morning like you are worthy you are amazing you are a goddess and I was like you're not a goddess cuz you don't control me um and you don't have the things that you want you keep thinking that you saying that you're worthy is going to somehow make it true but like the way that you know you're worthy is that you have it that's it like that is the litus test are you worthy of a billion dollars well are you a billionaire no then you're not worthy and so just like I think we have these things it's just like uh you're unbalanced it's like you're not worthy there's these things that we're program to say oh that's bad you have to tell everyone they're worthy you're everyone's beautiful no if everyone were beautiful then no one's beautiful and yet again we're back at square one and so it's it's I guess drinking the tonic it's it's going through the [ __ ] which is honestly the boring stuff that no one wants to do for an extended period of time and uh accepting that you suck and that it is okay because the first step is accepting that you stuck you suck so that you can do the Second Step which is doing something about it what about you're not making as much money as you want because you're not as good as you think you are that's I mean I'm obviously in the business space and that follows up with the other one with the impostor syndrome like people are like man um how do you not suffer from imposter syndrome I was like because I've done what I said I've done and the people who get up on stage and try and teach a class on [ __ ] they haven't done it's like that like you feel like an impostor when you're an impostor like don't try and kill that voice listen to that voice and get the evidence to make that voice shut the [ __ ] up like if like if I get on stage and I say I can bench 315 is there like do I feel like an imposter when I say that no I stay fact but presumably if you're if you're pioneering and breaking new ground you know you're you just put the biggest investment that you ever did into this new thing that is a new level that you get to and that's one that's to do with Finance but could be another one that's to do with capacity or competence you could be sitting down in a room doing a deal which is time Bound in a way that it's never been before or is in an industry only tangential to one that you've been in before each time that you do something new by definition you're an impostor because you haven't done it before now if you're teaching that's different but if you're entering if you're growing sufficiently quickly most of the time it's fresh snow so I like this is a f a topic I love but I think the difference between doing something new and being an impostor is one is pretending to be something that they're not so like I made the biggest investment school I'm making a bet that I think communities are going to be huge and I think that there's a ton of people who want to you know teach skills they have in communities Etc and school.com can help but like it would only be an impostor if I said this is like I guarantee it no matter what this is going to be the biggest thing ever and one of the big things that I repeat and from the marketing I say it all the time I say State the facts and tell the truth like the best Marketing in the entire world is truth now if the truth isn't compelling it doesn't mean you lie it means you change the world to make the facts compelling as in if I say man I want to be like I you see this one all the time uh 18-year-olds who are like I want to be a motivational speaker right you say okay well what are your facts you've done nothing great so they then lie so that they can try and claim success that they don't deserve so they can get Authority that they can't back up and eventually are called out and are flat and to be fair they only impress people who don't know anything anyways so if they're honest about it they look at their fact sheet and say what would what would a motivational speaker have to have in order for them to have authority and then that becomes your action list of what you need to do and then once those facts are the truth then you can State the facts and tell the truth and then people will be like wow that's so motivational but all you did was tell the truth and so like that is why I've so wholeheartedly rejected one like you are worthy you are not worthy if you had it then you wouldn't even need to say you were worthy because you'd already [ __ ] have it and if you were in like I struggle with impostor syndrome why you only struggle imposter SYM because you're [ __ ] lying like that's why you feel like an imposter and now they're like well I didn't the thing is is you can fudge the truth like you can you cannot lie is very different than telling the truth like I can make something seem a certain way without deliberately breaking the law but I'll know and that's why you feel like an imposter because you [ __ ] know and there's the guy in the other room who's clearing his thr be like that's not [ __ ] true and then that Discord but if you just say what you have done or you say what you are doing I'm making this big investment it's a big bet for me the reason I'm making this bet is because I see this trend and I think it's a good idea I could be [ __ ] wrong but I'm not going to feel like an impostor because of it because that's the truth thinking about the community thing I had a conversation a little while ago I don't I don't think that you're that you're far off wrong especially in an age of automation this guy made a really great point which you probably thought of which is one of the very few things that you can't automate is community can't AI community no what you're GNA have I mean mayil bots in yeah exactly one guy one guy and a thousand Bots that are all doing it maybe GPT 10 can do that or whatever but the next this inter quartile period whatever we're coming up to yeah is the easiest way to to hedge against automation I think is to focus on community in other news this episode is brought to you by nomatic you might have seen that I recently was on the road for a full 28 days using just hand luggage because hold luggage is a scop meant to keep you poor and late and almost everything is down to this backpack and the carry-on that I was using this is their travel pack their 20 L travel pack and honestly it is the best backpack that I've ever found it would take way longer than I've got to explain all of the different pieces of tech that are inside of this but it basically allows you to pack so much more stuff with so much less fuss and it's outstanding the're beautifully designed not over engineered and has a lifetime guarantee so this is literally the final backpack that you you will ever need to buy also you can return or exchange your bag for any reason within 30 days so you can buy it try it use it and carry stuff in it for a full month and if you don't like it they'll give you your money back head to the link in the show
