So often, for entrepreneurs, there is a hesitation to face the realities of your business. Many of us feel the pressure of making our numbers sound better than they are with the people around us, or worse, ourselves. When we make the situation in our business sound better than it actually is, we run the risk of missing the important steps we need to take to ensure our business is growing. In this episode, Alex shares a personal example of what happens when an entrepreneur is not honest with themselves about where they are in their business and how you can start to fix that issue right now. Alex also shares the dangerous feeling of not wanting to sell to your friends, and the deeper meaning behind that hesitation. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

The Momentum Podcast is for those who of us who think differently — made especially for empire builders, game-changers, trailblazers, record makers, and creators of all kinds. Those among us who can’t turn it off, and don’t know why anyone would want to. We challenge complacency, destroy apathy, and we are obsessed with creating momentum. 

While the rest of the world strives for average and clings desperately to the status quo, you and I are compelled to move forward and change the world. 

We are the minority, the few, who are willing to hallucinate there could be a better future. Instead of just daydreaming of what could be, we endure the vulnerability and exposure it takes to make it real. We are the evolutionary hunters. The most important people in the world because entrepreneurs are the only source of consistent, positive human evolution, and we always will be.
