The Truth About Long-Term Success

Podcast on business growth - The Game with Alex Hormozi

You may or may not know I’m a big podcast guy—and right now, I’m hooked on The Game by Alex Hormozi. The guy drops so many gems, it’s like a business degree in sweatpants. This episode in particular hit hard: "The One Thing That Changes Everything."

Here’s the gist: most business owners don’t fail because they lack effort or ideas. They fail because they’re throwing four parties at once... and wondering why the dance floor’s empty at all of them.

Hormozi puts it like this: strategy is about using limited resources to focus on the best option—not juggling every shiny new idea that pops up. You don’t get four “#1 priorities.” You get one. That’s it.

Ask yourself: If we only did this one thing really well, would the business grow?
If yes—then shut down everything else and do that. Over and over.

He uses Raising Cane’s as the perfect example: a billion-dollar business built on one sandwich. They didn’t launch wraps and salads and limited-time jalapeño chicken fingers. They made one damn good sandwich and kept making it better.

Change isn’t free. According to Hormozi, every new initiative usually comes with a 20% dip in revenue before you might see any upside. So unless that upside is 2x or more, it’s probably not worth it.

Most of us (myself included) are drowning in good ideas and starving for execution. We obsess over funnels, tweak offers, play with copy—all while ignoring the real bottleneck.

So what should you do?

Go into “no change” mode. Four weeks. No new stuff. Just execute.

Make a “big list” of ideas to revisit later. Most won’t age well anyway.

Channel that entrepreneurial restlessness into marketing—where creativity actually helps. But if ops or product are working? Leave them alone.

Bottom line: Your boredom with your business is not your customer’s.
If the sandwich is working—make the sandwich better.

I know a few of my clients have podcasts up and running— we love seeing that. Here are a couple of my favs right now:

One Big Beautiful Tax Bill Webinar

Sign up for our upcoming webinar on the Tax Bill

On July 4th, Trump celebrated Independence Day by signing what he’s calling the One Big Beautiful Tax Bill. And honestly? There’s a lot in there our clients are going to like.

We’re talking permanent 100% bonus depreciation, expanded Opportunity Zones, higher itemized deductions, reworked interest expense rules, beefed-up R&D deductions, and—brace yourself—no more tax on tips or overtime. Yes, really.

There’s so much packed into this bill that we can’t even begin to cover it all here without turning this into a novel. So instead, we’re dedicating our July Office Hours to breaking it all down.

Join us on July 21 at 2 PM ET for the webinar.
