data we've collected from several companies in which we're invested they all follow the same pattern and although your personal time frame might be slightly different some might be able to do it in 3 years While others will take a bit longer the process is very similar for the majority of companies out there this graph applies to both your business and your net worth as an individual if you look closely at it you'll distinguish three very different stages of growth as follows so phase one nothing happens you're putting in so much effort but it's all chaos

you don't know what to do who to hire what the customer wants what to price it what your business model is and more we call this the learn and build phase this is the figuring out phase you're dumb and this phase fixes that during this period people will dismiss your efforts they'll laugh at your goals and disregard anything you do they'll tell you that you should do something else and as you go through it the worst thing is it feels like they're right it's already been over a year and still nothing to show for it

this stage is where 90% of businesses quit but you're not like them you will put your head down and you will keep building learn fast and build in silent the quicker you're able to learn and Implement new found knowledge the quicker you're going to be able to grow this is why we built learning Mastery learning how to learn is probably the most valuable skill to acquire if you're in the early stages of your growth in phas one you are the one doing almost all the work on a shoestring budget you've got a hand in everything

and you're mastering the skills required for you to evolve in Phase 2 now Phase 2 is very different compar compared to phase one because now you're seeing some traction out of all the things that you've learned in Phase 1 some of them have found footing and are now picking up speed you've put together a minimum viable team you've got a few customers and the business model has been proven a few people have actually given you money now it's just a matter of doing it over and over again we call Phase 2 the optimized traction phase

because if you look at the graph it's almost linear you start to Tinker with the details you train your people you hire more specific talent because this time you know what you're hiring for you're still in complete control of your growth journey and it feels like you figured it all out at this stage you're able to understand what your competitors are doing and how they're moving in the optimized traction phase you're actively competing with everyone else in your space for customers attention followers Etc you are growing but you're not yet differentiated enough you still haven't

found your secret sauce at this stage all you want to do is to streamline the entire process as much as possible cut out the fat build up systems and hire people to take over some of the tasks that you were previously in charge of it's only then that you'll be able to take a step back zoom out and look at the bigger picture and that is when it happens phase three we call it the liftoff stage so pay very close attention to this graph because over 90% of your wealth will be generated here in phase

three this is where something simply clicks the liftoff stage usually happens when you figure out how to scale exponentially over time so instead of building once and selling once you figure out how to build once and sell a million times instead of picking one customer after another your focus shifts to building the things that bring in customers on a consistent basis in phase three you're no longer going after the client instead you become a client magnet your brand becomes well known your funnel starts working your ads have a positive Roi Network effects are in play

where customers recommend you to others through word of mouth all of this puts you in a very peculiar situation for the first time in your life demand is higher than what you can deliver figure out how to fill in all that demand and you win these are the three phases of your financial journey in order to be able to take advantage of exponential growth you have to embrace asymmetric risk out of everything out there it's the fastest way to build and you can click in the top right corner because we have a video dedicated to

asymmetric risk and how to apply it you can't have exponential growth as an employee you need to in incorporate and build a business so how do you actually do that how do you brute force your way to $1 million well you might have noticed that on the graph we mentioned earlier there are 10 distinct points labeled with the letters of the alphabet now we're going to walk you through these 10 stages so you can properly assess where you are on your own Journey you start in the left corner at zero you have just an idea

but you don't know where to start as you can see it takes a while to get from the corner to the first a point now the a point is where you make a decision to start a is the first day you actually get to work on your business for example you register a domain name you put together a website you list your first product or somehow announce to the world that you're now doing this at this stage you're using money from your own pocket and it feels like an incredible risk because you don't have much

for the sake of this video let's say you're starting with under 100 bucks not a lot of money but you do have a lot of time so you're going to do everything yourself that's when you use all the technological advances that you can use Instagram is free Tik Tok is free if you go to alo.com sell you can have an online store with full functionality up and running before the end of the day thanks to our friends at Shopify who are kind enough to support our platform now at the B point you've been putting things

together for a while there has been some interest but nothing much has changed yet you're learning a lot but you're kind of starting to lose Faith it's been almost a year since you thought about this idea but it hasn't moved very much this is the most common point where people quit the B point is a test to see who's willing to stick with it you're not making any money but you are making progress It's At this point where true determination and discipline breaks through tremendous amounts of rejection you have to do it the hard way

you'll have to send 100 DMS to get one reply you'll have to post 100 pictures on Instagram to get one order you'll have to cold call 100 businesses until one of them allows you to pitch and maybe convert but do it do it 100 times and then do it another 100 times because what moves the needle at this stage is volume you need a lot of volume the B point is where you begin to understand how you can make money the hard way if it takes 100 pitches to land a client then do 500 pitches

if you must remember why you started this was supposed to take care of you for the rest of your life are you really going to quit 6 months to one year into it what's the matter with you focus okay you're here for the long game all of that effort is what's going to get you to the C point it ain't much but it's honest work you finally figured out how much effort it takes to land one client this isn't your mom okay it's not your friend or someone feeling bad for you a genuine interested party

gave you money in exchange for your services or product this is the game-changing moment for any business the moment you realize that you can do this over and over again your product service delivers it's just a matter of keeping up with it the C point is a moment of transition between an idea that's being executed into reality at this point you're still doing almost all of it yourself you are the designer provider you take care of shipping or services rendered you are the tech support and the sales agent the moment that payment hits your account

it just validates your entire effort even if it's not very much you know you have a business a genuine business so it's time you make it profitable keep doing it we know it's hard okay it is hard but you just have to push through and if you do things will start to look better that's when you land at the D Point you're almost 2 years into this journey when things are slowly picking up speed you've got a few satisfied clients and the business is dripping a little bit of money you've been super busy for a

while now and this is where you realize you need some help at the D Point you're getting your first employee now don't get us wrong you still work at 100% of your own capacity but there's someone else working alongside you just keep in mind they are not you they will never be able to work just as hard or as thoroughly as you do but because they earn their own bread and make your life just a bit easier it allows you to focus more on growth at this stage of the business you're still not paying yourself

but you are paying this person basically the money coming in goes toward paying your first employee but that's okay because you start to see that growth trajectory takes shape because of this new found help you're able to steadily increase the income of the business which gets us to the E point it might not look like much but you're actually killing it right now you found a sustainable way to linearly scale your business and now you've got a way of hiring people if you look at the graph you're bringing in at at least twice as much

money as you did at the previous point you already know what to do of course you're not going to hit the club instead you will reinvest every single dollar coming in you're still living way below your means but this is a game of delayed gratification you're eating now so you can eat whatever you want later on so you hire another person to help you increase sales even more and guess what it works this is a crucial stage in your growth Journey you've made some progress but you feel overwhelmed by the realization of just how much

you don't know and have yet to learn the highest cost you'll pay in life is on the things you don't know that you don't know so as a side quest outside of your day-to-day business operations you start learning you spend days reading books paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars going to business events unsure if you'll be able to build a real network but you buy courses and listen to hours of podcasts about business it's not very efficient but all of it helps and we struggled with this because there wasn't one resource out there specifically

built to fill in the gaps that we had so we built it ourselves we spent millions of dollars getting the smartest people in the world to share with us exactly how to do it we put all of it into an app called alux available to download for free at alux.com slapp it's the only app designed to accelerate your progress on this graph curve every morning you'll get 15 minutes of coaching handpicked to help you make measurable progress it's not cheap but most users say the app paid for itself in the first month alone hundreds of

because at the F point you've already hired a few people and the chart is already going up so you begin to think bigger and now you're a bit more technical with your business because you know what works and what doesn't Plus for the first time you're making a considerable amount of money compared to anything you've done before so this is usually where you upgrade your infrastructure and the quality of your products or Services you invest in a new website you do a redesign of the products you begin to buy raw materials in bulk because now

you've got a predictable demand so you can negotiate on costs and increase your profit margin you're 3 years into the process and for the first time this is when you know exactly what you need to grow your business so you reinvest everything again and make a few changes while still keeping up with the grind and it shows you do it over and over again until you hit that G-spot you know okay that's a childish joke but we're going to run with it the G point for the first time ever your wealth is over $100,000 and

you feel like you're on top of the world you've got a good thing going you understand the customer you understand production but there's one thing missing wide distribution you've got a good product that people are willing to pay for this is the golden spot to be in this is where you need to take your marketing seriously you need a sustainable way to reach more people a lot more people take some of the money that you're making and start experimenting but be very careful at this stage a bunch of smaller companies will come knocking on your

door promising you the moon almost all of them are art artists they don't care about your business they don't understand your business they just want your hard-earned money so don't trust them first try to do it yourself this will teach you how to speak the language and how to distinguish between the pretenders and the real ones and just giving you a heads up here you're going to get burned a few times it's inevitable as with everything in life you will have to kiss a few frogs until you find one that turns into a prince it's

rarely going to be an agency instead it's going to be someone you bring in full-time that is passionate about this space this is usually the moment you have someone taking care of your marketing efforts fulltime it'll take them between 12 to 24 months until they get good at it and then boom it happens H Point we've got takeoff now believe it or not the H Point comes with a problem you never expected the marketing part worked so well that you are now at capacity at this point you simply can't keep up with demand you're now

turning down potential orders because you don't have the infrastructure to fulfill all of them your business doesn't scale turns out there's more to building a well-oiled business machine than just sales but don't panic okay this is an incredible position to find yourself in luckily for you the business is Cash flowing and as everyone in business knows sales cures everything use that money to hire more people bring in new technology and automate what you can in order to streamline production even more at this stage of the business you've got multiple employees taking care of different parts

of the business you've got people in production you've got people in sales and you've got people in marketing and even more importantly this is where you have a manager in place that keeps the business running from a day-to-day perspective you used to be that manager now you hire a manager to do what the title says to manage your focus is on business growth and on the quality of the product or service that you offer be very careful at this stage because of the size of the business and the many people involved the quality will inevitably

suffer your manager isn't you and although in theory you'll want them to be as obsessed with a business as you are they're not remember they don't care about the little things the same way that you do so quality control is key it was the little things and the attention to detail that people were rushing to buy from you in the first place so do your best to keep those Alive Now lucky for you after a couple of tweaks your people are able to keep the machine running and you can focus on your superpower making the

business bigger all this effort all of this attention you're getting can now be monetized through the new structure so flip the switch the eye point if you've been able to not only maintain but improve the quality of your offering and reach the desired customer audience through effective marketing your business is now growing exponentially at this stage you're likely doing between $1 and $5 million in Revenue per year and you're comfortable taking some money out of the company you've earned it now we know that most people might be shocked to hear $5 million in Revenue but

so little money for yourself well these people don't understand product margins what it takes to keep people on payroll what advertising budgets are and how to balance all of that for a positive return on investment building a solid business is hard because there are so many moving pieces and parts that need to be accounted for you are paying taxes you're buying equipment and almost all of that profit gets reinvested you've been barely paying yourself anything up until now at the eye point it's the first time you begin to slowly increase the quality of your life

that's why it's called the eye point it's about yourself until you get to this point you have to train your brain to focus on growth instead of pleasure it doesn't mean you have to suffer okay but you have to be purposeful in your spending it's a slippery slope that you need to check and it's at this stage you can zoom out a bit and look at the business differently it's at this stage you'll apply pto's law to Business Development 20% of your efforts generate 80% of the reward so you focus all of your efforts on

that 20% you look for strategic Partnerships or big business deals that will bring in value over longer periods of time instead of selling to One customer at a time you sell in bulk to a wholesaler instead of hiring one person you're Outsourcing a segment to a full-on business it's this type of effort that will get the business to maintain that extraordinary growth momentum EV eventually getting you to that J Point J stands for Joy you have to officially build a strong enough business that can take care of you and your family for the foreseeable future

at this stage not only is your business profitable but you can successfully pay yourself considerable dividends and end ofe bonuses the company you own is valued at over $10 million your joyful and proud that you've made it here job successfully done now it's up to you if you want want to keep growing the business yourself bring in a CEO to keep it going in your place or maybe sell it off for a lump of cash this kind of video is incredibly important for those of you who are actually building we could have easily wrapped it

up in a workshop or a seminar and charged people for this kind of info but we're here giving it away all for free all we ask in return is you subscribe to our Channel and help this community grow so more and more people can benefit from our financial education take a look at the three phases of grow grow and at the 10l points scattered across the line where are you right now in your financial Journey share it with the community in the comments and save this video for the Future come back to it once in

a while and give us an update on the progress that you've been making and as for those of you who took the time to watch this Sunday motivational video until the very end here's a special bonus that we want to share with you this is the excitement graph in your journey you start out incredibly excited PE peing at the day you decide to launch then you figure out just how hard it all is and that you've got so much to learn and are missing a bunch of things most of you are probably right here in

the dip this is called the valley of disappointment and we'll make a detailed video on this in the near future if you're in the valley of disappointment alux sir please just keep on going okay we promise you it will get better and it will get better fast the surprising thing is that most accelerated excitement growth is in Phase 2 that's where the business starts picking up traction and you can correlate your work to actual returns you'll find that you draw purpose from your work and it's making you happy phase two is what validates you as

in individual you are indeed able to build something of value although you'll make 80% of your wealth in phase three the excitement slowly flatlines as you build your wealth now we already mentioned that the time frame might be different so just adjust it to your own life but we didn't choose the 5year period randomly okay we've been in hundreds of meetings with serial entrepreneurs Venture capitalists and startups and we've identified this pattern across the board after 5 years something needs to change a new wave needs to come the business needs to evolve every half a

decade 5 years in and you no longer find the same business model sexy you need to upgrade it to change pivot expand or go after a different Market to keep yourself interested and entertained from that point forward it's no longer about the money until you realize you're actually pretty good at making money so you begin to challenge yourself to see just how big you can get it now since it's only the true aluxes left here anyway we can share a private and personal perspective with you guys it happened the very same way with alux it

took roughly 4 and 1/2 years for us to completely dominate the blogging space and we started to feel an itch for change so we shifted into video after almost a decade of building a community on YouTube we had to evolve again which is why a couple of years ago we launched the alux app and the same cycle applies first growth was slow but we tweaked it we reinvested all the money we made into making that product more valuable for you the users 2 and 1/2 years in and we're beginning to see that gross curve happen

exactly as we outlined in the graph even with our experience of building and investing in multiple companies it still requires us to go through the cycle and it'll probably be the same for you but with every attempt the reward has gotten a lot bigger if alux.com the website was Charmander and YouTube is Charmeleon well the app is proving to be the Charizard version of alux we want alux to evolve and in the process help you to evolve let's do it together my friend if if you're ready for it write evolution in the comments let's see

how many of you are ready for what comes next
