100M Leads

Alex Hormozi

In 100M Leads, Alex Hormozi explains how to generate demand without relying solely on paid ads. He breaks down how to attract strangers through valuable content, strong hooks, and clear messaging so prospects come to you already interested. The focus is on attention, trust, and consistency.

Hormozi teaches that lead generation is a skill, not luck. By solving real problems publicly, creating compelling offers, and distributing content across platforms, businesses can build predictable inbound pipelines. The result is scalable growth driven by authority and trust rather than cold outreach or hope.

Overview

This book is a guide to creating consistent inbound leads through value and positioning. Hormozi outlines how to turn expertise into attention and attention into opportunity by understanding what your market truly wants and communicating it clearly.

At its core, 100M Leads challenges entrepreneurs to stop waiting for referrals or ad performance to save them. Instead, it encourages disciplined content creation, clear problem solving, and repeated exposure. The result is demand that compounds over time and a pipeline built on trust rather than interruption.

- I’ll work with you until you do”
