Deciding to skip business school to start a gym in 2013 changed my life forever. Here’s what happened next...

2013-2016: Launched United Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA, and grew to 6 locations

2016: Founded Gym Launch and switched from privately owning gyms to doing in-person turnarounds

2017: We transitioned from in-person turnarounds to a licensing business and helped over 4500+ facilities transform their businesses.

2019: Our supplement company, Prestige Labs, launched to help those gyms create another profit center and provide their customers with high-quality nutritional products.

2020: Started ALAN, a software company that helps brick-and-mortar businesses get twice as many people in the door on average for one-third the price of a front desk admin.

2020: Founded Acquisition.com, to invest in and help grow companies. Made our first 3 investments.

2021: We sold our majority shares of ALAN to a strategic partner and a 66% stake in Gym Launch and Prestige Labs to American Pacific Group.

It’s been a ride.

Today, through Acquisition.com we participate as minority or majority partners and use the same models that helped scale each of our companies.

A lot of real problems can be solved by working longer hours: 

1) You make more money when you work more. 

2) You have less time to spend the money you make. 

3) You have less time to think about the problems that never mattered to begin with.

Deciding to skip business school to start my own gym in 2013 changed my life forever. Here’s what happened next:

2013-2016:  Launched United Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA, and grew to 6 locations

2016:  Founded Gym Launch and switched from privately owning gyms to doing in-person turnarounds 

2017: We transitioned from in-person turnarounds to a licensing business and helped over 4500+ facilities transform their businesses.  

2019: Our supplement company, Prestige Labs, launched to help those gyms create another profit center and provide their customers with high-quality nutritional products. 

2020:  Started ALAN; a software company that helps brick and mortar businesses get twice as many people in the door on average for one-third the price of a front desk admin. 

Founded Acquisition.com, an active Value Acceleration Capital firm, that focuses on low mid-market service-based businesses doing $1M-$10M. 

2021: We sold our majority shares of ALAN to a strategic partner and sold a 66% stake in Gym Launch and Prestige Labs to American Pacific Group. 

I could not have imagined any of this was possible back in December 2016 when my bank account balance fell to just $1,036 after making a series of poor decisions. 

Today our Acquisition.com fund allows us to participate as minority partners (20-33% typically) to provide what we call “majority work for minority stakes” and use the same models that helped scale each of our companies and create value for our customers. For Leila and me, this is our passion.  


If you own a: 
1) Service based business 
2) Brick & mortar chain 
3) E-Learning Company 
4) Tech-enabled service 

And are …
1) Doing $1m-$10m in EBITDA
2) Profitable and growing
3) Bootstrapped (no complex cap tables/outside investors)

...and would like to triple your business in 60 months (or we give back our equity and you can keep the invested capital)

Here’s a throwback from about 6 years ago.

We had just become “millionaires.”

We still lived on $4000/mo.
We were sitting outside a public laundromat doing laundry.
We were getting work done in the car while we waited.

I figured I’d post it because sometimes people think we lived the way we live now on our way up.

That’s not true.

We lived broke until our lifestyle was more than covered by our indirect income.

Spend your hard-earned coins wisely…at the laundromat or elsewhere.

It’ll give you the certainty that even when you get the dollars, you won’t feel beholden to them because you were just as content with nothing.

I can say that’s been true for me.

Stay hungry #mozination

“When I was 20 I wanted to be a millionaire…Now that I’m a millionaire, I want to be 20.”

I overheard a version of this.

Makes me realize that when I’m 40, I’d rather be 32 (my age) with nothing, just to be 32 (again).

A different frame on gratitude I thought I’d share.

You can give up tomorrow. 

Today, you fight.

Instead of adding things to your “Millionaire morning routine”…consider asking:

“What am I doing that they aren’t?”

Most times it’s what they aren’t doing where they’re getting their advantage. Ruthless elimination.

The point is that the metric for success has been, and always will be, internal.

The bigger the monster, the greater the hero.

Whatever trials you’re going through, just remember they will be the stories you tell.

…And no one likes a boring success story.

How to build a terrible business:

Sell stuff anyone else can sell and compete on price.

If everyone saw learning skills as a real investment, more would do it.

1) They go up in value
2) No one can take them from you
3) They can't be taxed
4) They compound all other investments
5) Great price vs. lifelong returns

Double down on the one asset you hold forever - you.

Myth: Working too much leads to burnout.

Reality: Not being able to manage emotions leads to burnout.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be keeping your word, it would just always be “do what’s best for you at any given moment”

This means you might as well just say “I’ll keep with our agreement as long as it always benefits me”

Which - as a side note - if you want to predict human behavior well, always assume the latter and you’ll be amazed how many times you’re right.

Jerry Seinfeld explained how he wrote comedy.

He never forced himself to write, but he said during the time block he wasn't allowed to do anything else BUT write.

✍✍✍✍✍✍

He said, "I could sit there bored. But I couldn't do anything else except for write."

Most people can't sit still for even 2-3 minutes.

One of the easiest ways to be productive is to not allow space for anything else to occur.

Productivity becomes the default when you have nothing to do.

When I need to change a behavior, I try and change the environment rather than changing me.

Because it's way easier to change everything else than to change yourself.

Reminder to self:

If you didn’t die, you survived.

We beat the impurities out of metal to make it stronger.

We feel the beatings now, but the strength comes after. It feels like we're getting the strength beat out of us, but on a long enough time horizon, it's beating the strength into us - like the metal.

Stronger with each hit.

There are 30 million businesses in the USA

If they can figure it out so can you.

My most important time management hack:

Decide what’s 𝗡𝗢𝗧 worth doing.

Just because something gets you 𝗔 return on time doesn’t mean it’s your 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 return on time.

We need someone to believe in us.

As much (or more) than we believe in ourselves. 

"Wanting stuff" makes you successful.

"Not wanting stuff" makes you happy...

Realizing that "wanting" or "not wanting" is irrelevant gives you freedom.

The perfect parallel between workouts & building a brand?

Everybody wants to peak out as soon as possible.

⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰ 

They do a few reps, little bit of volume and THEN they try and peak and hit their one rep max.

But the guys who get the biggest and strongest? 

They train for a year (or years) without peaking out.

When you build a base like that, the peak is so much higher.

You have to build horizontally first before you go vertical.

When did I stop looking at competitors?

When I realized they, like me, had no idea what they were doing.

Might as well bet on you.
