The #1 Reason You’re NOT Reaching $1M! (Alex Becker Reaction)

This is a reaction and breakdown of a video by Alex Becker from his channel Alex Becker Tech, where he explains why being willing to look foolish early was the single biggest factor behind building over $200M in business value.

In this reaction, I’m breaking down why this principle actually works, where most people misunderstand it, and how it shows up in real sales environments—especially for founders trying to scale past $1M and sales reps trying to level up their income and confidence.

If you’ve ever hesitated to post content, make calls, sell more aggressively, apply for better offers, or start something new because you didn’t want to “look stupid,” this video explains why that hesitation is the real bottleneck.

What Alex Becker Gets Right (And Where People Miss It)

Alex’s core point is simple but uncomfortable:
Everyone struggles when they start. The people who win are willing to be seen before they’re good.

Where most people get this wrong is thinking this is just “mindset” or motivation. In practice, this shows up very clearly in sales:

Reps avoid calls because they don’t want to sound bad

Founders delay hiring because they don’t want to make a mistake

Teams avoid new scripts, tonality changes, or outbound channels because they fear short-term discomfort

In real high-ticket sales and remote sales environments, the fastest path to mastery is exposure + repetition, not perfection. The people who improve fastest are the ones willing to look bad briefly to get good permanently.

This video is for you if:

You’re a business owner or founder trying to scale past $1M and feeling stuck by hesitation, overthinking, or fear of judgment

You’re a high-ticket sales rep, closer, setter, or SDR who wants better offers, higher close rates, and more confidence on calls

You’re focused on personal development, skill mastery, and long-term performance, not hype or shortcuts

If you care about leverage, skill acquisition, and predictable growth, this applies directly to you.
