$100M Money Models

"A Money Model is a sequence of offers." - Alex Hormozi

The Core Insight

A money model is not a single offer - it's a deliberate SEQUENCE of offers, timed so a new customer produces enough cash in the first ~30 days to pay for acquiring and serving the next one.

Most businesses have one product at one price. They spend money to get a customer, then wait months or years to earn it back. That works only if you already have deep cash reserves or investors. Everyone else runs out of money first. The money model fixes the speed of payback, not just the total profit.

This is the third book in Hormozi's sequence: 100m-offers answers "what do I sell?", 100m-leads answers "how do I get attention?", and this one answers "how do I get them to buy - and buy fast enough that cash stops being the constraint?"
