Alex Hormozi discusses how your ego is keeping you poor, why you never need to care about what anyone else thinks of you, why having a life that sucks is actually a blessing, whether most easy opportunities are just distractions, how to conquer your tiny impulses, why you are built to deal with things being hard, how to beat anyone who ever copies you, and much more.

• The higher up in business and life you get, the more attractive the opportunities that you have to say no to

• The first step to achieve your dream is to conquer tiny impulses

• Opportunities only look like opportunities in the rear view mirror

• Most of the pain that people experience is in their own head

• You stay in poverty until you learn the first lesson of poverty — two words “My Fault”

• Power follows the blame finger — point it at yourself
