Why Progress Feels Broken (Alex Hormozi Explains)

Описание: Most people think success is about intelligence.

Alex Hormozi argues it’s mostly about conviction, time horizon, and not quitting — especially when progress feels invisible.

In this rare, long-form conversation, Alex explains why:
• Billionaires intentionally disagree with the crowd
• “Working hard” often fails without conviction
• Most people quit right before compounding begins
• Consistency can’t be learned from shortcuts or clips

This isn’t tactics.

It’s how elite operators think when no one is watching.

If progress has felt slow — or you’ve wondered whether you’re stuck, early, or on the wrong path — this episode will recalibrate how you think about effort, patience, and compounding.

⚠️ This conversation rewards patience.
The deeper you go, the more it pays off.
