Alex Goen built a supplement brand with over a BILLION DOLLARS in sales, as well as a string of other successful brands. With a brilliant mind for marketing, his companies consistently advertise by doing the opposite of everyone else - flipping industry norms on their head to grab attention and drive growth.

In this episode of "Success Explained," we dive deep into Alex's journey of building a billion-dollar brand, and exploring how strong Christian values and a servant-leadership mindset drives the best decisions. You'll see why customer-driven marketing (instead of paid ads), mastering one core skill, and embracing "unmanagement" can unlock massive growth. Alex also reveals the power of self-talk, the value of incremental improvement, and how authentic testimonials and bold partnerships (NASCAR, Indy Racing, Orange County Choppers) set his brands apart - all while balancing faith, family, and giving back.

You ever meet someone who made a bunch of money, and now they're broke?

Or lost 40 pounds, and now they're heavier than ever?

Or got into the perfect relationship, and now they're alone again?

That's not bad luck. It's their baseline.

People always revert back to how they see themselves and what they believe they're worth.

And it doesn't matter how much you achieve, if the way you see yourself is still stuck at a lower level, you'll eventually sabotage yourself and your business, and your team.

Watch now, and I'll show you how most people get stuck, and why so many companies plateau at a certain revenue...

If you've ever felt like your team is dragging you down, or your company's stuck at a plateau, chances are it's because of this one mistake… and almost every business owner makes it.

In this video, you're going to see how companies 10, 15, 20 X'ed their growth, the moment they made this one simple operational shift.

On the other hand, I've seen this mistake destroy 8-figure companies, and stall out others before they even hit $2MM.

So what do they get wrong, and what's the magic that fixes it?

Watch now and see!

Building a business is tough, but after 30+ years and 12 successful companies, I've learned what actually works, and what just sounds good in theory.

A lot of people get lucky in business, but real, repeatable success comes down to focusing on the right things.

I always keep my eye on five key areas that make growth easier, and I'll break them down for you in this video.

Let's talk about what really moves the needle.

Want to know how to get the right investors to fund your business growth?

Before seeking external funding, the smartest way to scale is by leveraging internal promotions to fuel expansion—because investors want to see what you've done to maximize profitability first.

But when you're ready for outside capital, you need to understand how investors work and what they look for before handing over millions.

In this podcast, I'll break down the most common types of investors and how to position your business for funding success.

No matter what size your business is right now, hiring one great employee can grow your company's bottom line faster than almost any other task you could focus on.

But most businesses mess this up because they either…

1. Put an enormous amount of time and money into attracting and training people the wrong way.
2. Or they think hiring the right people takes so much time and money that they do the absolute minimum just to get by, like putting ads online, and interviewing a bunch of candidates, and then just hiring the best from that small group of applicants.

Both can work, but one's very costly and one's way too risky.

Watch now and see the bullet points we follow to hire and develop strong, motivated, loyal teams inside of each of my companies.

To grow a business, you have to remember: vendors are tools. We can use them during times of growth when we don't have enough employees. But to grow an 8- or 9-figure business, we need to surround ourselves with people who will go to war with us and stick with us when times get tough because they see the big picture.

• Those people stay late
• Support the rest of the team
• Care more about the customers and the company brand than they do about a single sale.

Our responsibility as founders is to grow — in an honest, ethical, moral, and legal way. Every year, if not every quarter or every month. So watch now and see how do that, and how do it in the most efficient way possible...
