Key takeaways: Alex Hormozi on The Diary of a CEO
Key takeaways from The Man That Makes Millionaires, The Diary of a CEO. Alex Hormozi on fear, hiring, education and the beliefs we never question.

Fear is an ocean, a mile wide but an inch deep.
The barbell strategy. Hire people who are here for growth, or here to pass on their knowledge to others.
Education changes behaviour, entertainment maintains attention.
Education sells time. Someone else learned it the hard way, so you don’t have to.
People pay with the currency they value the least. The rich pay with money, the poor pay with time.
We question all of our beliefs, except those we choose to believe, and those we don’t think to question.
