You can’t think your way into confidence. Leila Hormozi tried. She wrote affirmations on her bathroom mirror and read them out loud. Nothing changed for her.
In this episode, Leila Hormozi and Jay Shetty talk about what finally worked. She moved across the country with $5,000 and took a sales job at a gym. Her first try at talking to a stranger ended with her hiding in a bathroom.
Leila explains why she says the market never puts a business under. She tells the story of a company that grew from $2 million to $90 million a year, then it fell to zero in six months.
She also shares why she tries to be bad at things on purpose. And she shows how she makes the things she wants easy to do and the things she doesn’t want hard to get.
Learn why discipline isn’t about willpower. And learn the one skill she says everyone in their 20s should build first.
