Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur
that helps average people like you and me
make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated
and to crush your goals.
Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six.
Get ready to level up right now.
What's up everybody, and welcome back
to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're talking about the real cost of going all in on your dreams.
So let me be straight with you, chasing your dreams isn't all sunshine and Instagram posts.
It's actual sacrifice, it's pain, it's stepping into the arena and taking hit after hit, knowing
full well there's no guarantee of success.
But you know what?
That's the price you pay if you want to win.
So let's go ahead and break it down.
First things first, you're going to give up a lot.
What do I mean by that?
Time with your family, nights out with your friends, that cozy, predictable life, say
goodbye.
When I was working 80 to 100 hour work weeks as a
cop, I was also building businesses on the side. No excuses, no breaks. It
actually sucked. While others were sleeping, I was grinding. While others were
at parties, I was leveling up. Hey that's the name of the game right? So you think
freedom is free? Hell no! Freedom costs everything up upfront. You want to live on your terms?
Pay the price now or settle for mediocracy forever.

episodes.
Second, get ready to stand alone.
People won't get it.
Your family won't get it.
They're going to call you crazy.
They'll say, why are you working so hard?
Or they'll never work.
I've heard it all guys.
In all reality, their opinion doesn't pay your bills.
Your dreams don't need your approval.
You got to be so locked in, so focused on your mission that their doubt bounces right
off of you.
People will doubt you.
People doubted me when I left law enforcement to run my businesses.
And guess what?
I didn't give a shit because their
doubt wasn't relevant to me. My vision unstoppable and here's the truth that most people can't handle.
You might fail even after all the work but you know you heard me you can do everything right
and still fall short but you know what's worse? Regret. The thought of looking back and not knowing
you gave it your all, that you actually
let fear, comfort, and other people's opinion hold you back. If you're afraid of failure, good,
that means you're human. But if you let the fear stop you, you're choosing failure without even
trying. So check this out. What's the bottom line here? Going all in on your dreams will cost you
everything. It costs me everything. But the cost of staying in your comfort zone,
that's a lifetime of regret.
You've only got one life, one shot.
So what it's gonna be?
Are you willing to pay the price
or are you gonna settle for average?
