Alex Becker Quotes

“A major key to getting rich is removing time from the equation.”

“Actions are controlled by beliefs.

The belief that you are great will result in great actions. The belief that you are average will result in average actions.”

“An abundance mind-set will push you to take the risks needed to make a lot of money.”

“Anyone can become an expert at anything — even making money — when they put a tremendous amount of thought and time into it.”

“As a beginner, there are two things you need to focus on right now: selling and being comfortable with people (and leading them to do things).

If you can do these two things, you are going to have a hard time not succeeding.”

“Ask yourself these questions about your brand/product vision and your marketing.

Vision Questions:
- Are you the coolest solution out there?
- Are people passionate about your business? - What does your business stand for?
- Is this the best version of your business you can envision?
- Would you honestly want to be your customer?

Marketing Questions:
- Who is your target customer?
- What’s the best way to reach them?
- Do they actually respect you?
- Is your company fun to do business with?
- Do you explain the value of your product in your advertising?
- Do you focus on how your product will make your customers feel in your advertising?”

“At this moment in time, you can only put in 60 to 80 hours a week (or maybe 120 hours if you never eat or shower) into working on your dreams.

This might seem like a lot, but to any serious entrepreneur, this number is laughable. Every single day, at least 100 hours of work are put into my dreams.

How is this possible? Because I am not the only person working.”

“Be cautious of people who spend all their time putting forth a message of how great they are versus working on building something great.”

“Being an entrepreneur and having average goals is like trying to be a boxer who’s afraid to hit too hard.

The result in both situations? You’re gonna get your *ss kicked.”

“Being in a community of like-minded people with the same goal will trigger an obsession to work hard, succeed, and compete (in a friendly way, usually).

Humans are like pack animals, and every single person wants recognition from their pack. When we find the group that we want to be in, we also start acting like them so we can ‘blend in’ and feel like we are a part of that group.

Therefore, you are going to act like the people whom you spend the most time with.”

“By focusing on problems when they happen (not before, not after), you will have more time, energy, and mental space to see the situation for what it really is versus what could potentially happen.”

“By identifying the actions that get the highest ROI and solely focusing on them, we can get paid faster and increase our income.”

“Desiring to be wealthy means that you are aiming to be anything but average.

You are actually working towards being better at making money than almost every other being on the planet.

There’s no room for people that do not believe in themselves. You can’t sneak into the top 1 percent with skills or ideas alone.

You must have the whole package, which is why you need all ten pillars to truly get to the top.”

“Entrepreneurs understand that the more you work at something (including making money), the better you will get.

Failing a few times is common, but if you learn from these failures and figure out why those attempts didn’t succeed, you will eventually hit your target.

And the good news is you only need to hit your target once to be rich for life.”

“Everyone said I would fail because of my stubborn ‘f*ck you’ attitude. And boy did I.

I failed to work for them, I failed their school classes, I failed at living life the way they thought was right.

The reason I failed them… is the reason I succeed.”

“Everyone wants the selfie on top of Mount Everest. No one actually wants to climb it.

Get excited about the climb and not the selfie… and you’ll get your selfie.”

“Excellence is going the extra mile.”

“Failure is fine. Losing is fine.

Looking back on life with nothing but regret f*cking sucks.”

“Good risks are risks that you can control with foresight and proper planning.

On the flip side, bad risks are risks that you allow other people to control for you.”

“Having extreme scarcity with dating means that you focus on the girl that you’re approaching while thinking that there are no other girls in the world.

Having these feelings means you never take any risks. You don’t want to say anything that could be seen as offensive, because this is your one chance to impress the only girl in the entire world.

This causes you to act average — not saying anything horrific, but also not saying anything captivating either. You will not be memorable, and you will not seem any different than the three other guys who approached that girl the same night.

After all is said and done, your chance of taking home any girl is almost zero. If we switch the focus to money, the same results apply. People have a super scarcity mind-set about money never do anything that they would consider a risk.”

“How easily we will cave into something we don’t want to do as long as it provides us with a comfort zone.”

“I bust my *ss so I can go wherever the f*ck I want whenever the f*ck I want with the people I want.”

“I need you to understand one thing. Getting rich quickly is extremely low risk for one and only one reason.

You control everything!”

“I’m not here to make $100 a day.

I’m here to create excessive wealth and you should be too.”

“If people spent less time complaining and more time increasing their value through self-education, they’d recognize this is the golden age of financial freedom.”

“If you don’t separate your time from your income, it will be nearly impossible for you to become as wealthy as you desire.”

“If you spend most of your time with people who don’t care about making money and spend all of their free time sitting around the house watching reality TV, then you are more than likely going to do the same, because you want to fit in and because you have very little motivation to do things that no one around you is doing.

You will have very little urge to make money or improve yourself because you are already on the same 'level' as your pack.

On the flip side, if you spend most of your time with people who are making a million dollars a year or are working towards becoming rich, you are going to develop a strong urge to do the same.

You are going to want to be part of their conversations and be their equal. They are competitive in their niches, so you’ll want to be competitive in your niche.”

“If you spend ten years trying to master making money, it’s almost impossible for you to not become an excellent businessperson.”

“If you want to become part of the 1 percent of society who makes good (well, amazing) money, you must start interacting with people in that 1 percent, or at least with those people who are trying to join that 1 percent.

Luckily, most niches have forums, Facebook groups, clubs, meetup groups, and huge live events that you can join or attend to meet like-minded people.”

“If you want to start making money fast, you have to focus only on the actions that get you paid.

It is not necessarily a mistake, but I see beginners who need money now spend countless hours on learning, reading books about the topic at hand, and essentially doing everything all at once.

Understand this: Doing something like reading a book now might get you paid more a month from now. Picking up the phone and getting a client (or doing only actions that generate income) now will get you paid today.

Also understand that you will be learning far more from ‘doing’ (actions) than you will ever learn from ‘learning about doing’.

Trust me, if you know a topic well enough, get out there and get paid.”
