In this segment, Alex Hormozi recounts spending $6,000 on an intensive, eight‑session mentorship with a Facebook‑ads expert who charged $750 per hour. The agreement required Hormozi to operate the computer himself, follow the mentor’s instructions, and understand the reasoning behind every change. This hands‑on training gave Hormozi the ability to run effective ad campaigns, which he claims generated millions of dollars in revenue. He concludes that investing in one’s own skillset—especially marketable, inflation‑resistant skills like digital advertising—is the most powerful hedge against currency devaluation and economic uncertainty.

This $6,000 investment made me millions of dollars. I paid a guy who knew how to run Facebook ads. I said, what would it take for you to teach me how to run ads? I don't sell my time. And I was like, it's America. Yeah. How much? Yeah, exactly. What would it take? And he said, $750 an hour, which to me was an unbelievable amount of money at the time. And so I said, okay, deal. The terms are I have to have my hands on the computer, not you. Yeah. And you need to tell me what to do, and then I have to do it. And then if you change something, I need to understand the decision making behind why you did that. Exactly. And. And so it took me eight sessions with this guy. That $6,000 investment made me millions of dollars in my life because I knew how to advertise. The biggest and best investment that you can make is in your own skillset, because skills are the ultimate hedge against inflation. They're the hedge against currency changes. People are like, what's going to happen to the dollar? It doesn't matter if you have value to exchange, the world will exchange for it.
