If I woke up with $0 tomorrow and wanted to become a millionaire, here's what I would do in 2026.
Alex Hormozi outlines a step-by-step plan to go from $0 to $1M in 2026, covering choosing a target avatar, selling a unique and expensive offer, scaling with hires, and focusing on one channel.
Key Takeaways
- Focus on one channel, one offer, and one avatar until you reach $1M
- Choose an offer that is unique, expensive, and sticky
- Target customers with a painful problem who can afford to pay
- Scale by hiring people who have skills you lack
- Extraordinary results require extraordinary sacrifice
What the video covers

- Customer acquisition: pick one of four core channels to get people to find out about what you sell
- Increase customer value through skills and the main ways to raise how much each customer is worth

- Step five: build on three pillars of business: acquisition (marketing and sales), delivery (fulfillment and customer service), and back office (operations)
