Episode notes
Passion Means Willingness To Suffer
- Passion literally means suffering, not constant enjoyment.
- Alex Hormozi explains passio (Latin) and how passion is enduring hardship for something you deem valuable, not loving every second of the work.
Start Now Choose Work People Value
- Do not wait to 'find your passion' before starting; most of your work won't be the exciting part.
- Hormozi urges choosing work people value and doing it even when 95% of tasks support the 5% you enjoy.
Suffering Is A Fixed Cost Choose The Upside
- Suffering is a fixed cost across life paths, so pick the path with the best upside.
- Alex reframes suffering as unavoidable and recommends aiming big because the pain will be paid regardless.
