Introduction

• Alex Hormozi is an entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of Acquisition.com.
• He shares his experiences and lessons learned through his YouTube channel.
• In this video, he talks about the importance of volume in achieving success.
• He emphasizes doing more of the four primary activities to generate more clients and sales.

The Importance of Volume

• People often avoid doing the necessary work because it feels tedious or boring.
• Violently pursuing a higher volume of work can lead to more success than relying on skill or nuance.
• Doing more than what you are currently doing will lead to more success.
• There are only four primary activities that generate new business: reaching out to people you know, posting to an audience you know, reaching out to people who don't know, and advertising.
• Doing more of these four activities will lead to more clients and sales.

The Volume-Skill-Time Flywheel

• The more you do something, the better you get at it.
• The better you get at something, the more you enjoy doing it.
• The longer you do something, the better you get at it.
• Volume, skill, and time feed into each other in a flywheel effect.
• Doing more is the starting point for this flywheel.

Examples of the Importance of Volume

• Testing a higher volume of flyers led to more success for Alex's gym.
• Breaking the belief that a certain volume of work was enough led to more success for Alex.
• Violently pursuing a higher volume of work can lead to more success in fitness as well.
• Doing more of the four primary activities leads to more success in generating new business.
• Volume is the starting point for the volume-skill-time flywheel.

The Importance of Volume

• Doing more leads to better results.
• Most people underestimate the amount of work it takes to make money.
• Extraordinary volume compensates for low skill level and lack of time.
• Grant Cardone's content strategy involves massive action and doing way more than others.
• Quality and quantity trump just quantity or just quality.

The Multiplicative Effect of Volume

• Increasing the level of effort leads to a multiplicative effect.
• Doing more leads to getting better at the doing.
• The more you do, the more each piece feeds into the others.
• Doing a lot more in the beginning is necessary to get the ball rolling.
• Grant Cardone's growth organically 40xed from a 7x increase in effort.

The Importance of Skill Development

• Quality trumps quantity, but quality and quantity together are even better.
• Developing skill is the ultimate prize in doing the work.
• Doing the work again leads to more practice and higher skill level.
• Even if the volume of output is the same, the skill level will be higher and lead to more throughput.
• The level of effort is necessary for skill development and getting results.

The Importance of Doing

• Doing is the starting point for success.
• Most people need to do a lot more to compensate for low skill level and lack of time.
• Extraordinary volume leads to learning the skill and beginning the compounding process.
• Doing the work leads to becoming a better person and developing character.
• Doing the work again leads to more practice and higher skill level.

The Importance of Volume

• Most people underestimate the volume required to achieve success.
• The difference between an 8 out of 10 effort and a 10 out of 10 effort might be 5 times the work.
• The difference between an 8 out of 10 effort and a 10 out of 10 effort might be a hundred times the outcome.
• Most people put in a 7 or 8 out of 10 effort and compare themselves to someone who put in a 10 out of 10 effort.
• Incremental increase in work is still worth it because it can yield a higher throughput.
• Most people just do so much less volume than they think.

Doing More of the Primary Activities

• Reaching out to people you know.
• Posting to an audience you know.
• Reaching out to people who don't know.
• Advertising.
• Each post, outreach, call, or ad makes you better and increases your skill.
• Most people just need to do more of what they are currently doing.
