  • ★★ If you do not enjoy something such as marketing because you are bad at it, Ali suggests learning it: read DotCom Secrets by Russell Brunson and $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi and apply the methods; when one works, such as finally understanding how to build a funnel, it becomes fun. — 00:00:00 · Alex Hormozi
