How to Scale Your Business & Transform Your Life

Discover how Alan Lazaros turned adversity into success through holistic self-improvement and business mastery.

Unlocking Your Next Level with Alan Lazaros: The Power of Holistic Self-Improvement

Today we meet Alan Lazaros, founder and CEO of Next Level University, a global top 100 self-improvement podcast that reaches listeners in over 175 countries. Alan’s story is one of transformation, resilience, and purpose. After surviving a near-fatal car accident, he turned his life around through holistic self-improvement. Now, he helps others achieve success and fulfillment through business coaching, mindset mastery, and habit optimization.

The Journey from Adversity to Empowerment

Alan’s path wasn’t a straight line to success. He shared his early struggles growing up in challenging circumstances, pursuing financial stability, and realizing that external success didn’t always translate to internal fulfillment. His turning point came when he faced mortality head-on in a life-altering car accident. That moment propelled him into the world of self-improvement, where he discovered the power of personal growth and holistic alignment.

Today, Alan is on a mission to help people scale their businesses while staying true to their core values. He believes that success isn’t just about financial gains but about aligning health, wealth, and love in a way that leads to lasting fulfillment.

The Power of Focus and Prioritization

One of the biggest takeaways from our conversation was Alan’s approach to focus and prioritization. In a world full of distractions, he emphasizes the importance of:

  • Identifying Your Glass Balls: Alan uses the metaphor of juggling rubber and glass balls some priorities can be dropped and picked up later, but others (like core business tasks, health, and relationships) should never be neglected.

  • Building a Business Aligned with Your Core Values: Many entrepreneurs chase opportunities that aren’t in alignment with their passions. Alan helps clients discover what truly drives them and then build businesses around those passions.

  • The Flywheel Effect: He shares Jim Collins’ concept of the Flywheel Effect, which emphasizes the power of consistent small actions that create momentum over time.

Why Self-Improvement Matters in Business

Alan believes that business success is an inside-out game. While most entrepreneurs seek ways to grow revenue, what they really need is self-improvement. His coaching approach focuses on aligning goals, priorities, habits, and identity to create sustainable success. He stresses that long-term business growth requires:

  • Daily personal development habits (like reading, journaling, and exercise)

  • Mastering focus and time management

  • Building meaningful relationships around shared values

  • Creating a scalable strategy that doesn’t compromise fulfillment

The Next Level Mindset

The concept of Next Level isn’t just about making more money it’s about continual growth. Alan describes it as a "mountain that gets higher as you climb," meaning there’s always another level of potential waiting to be unlocked. Whether it’s in business, health, or relationships, improvement is an ongoing process.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure of how to take your business and personal life to the next level, Alan’s insights are invaluable. His podcast, Next Level University, offers daily self-improvement content that inspires listeners worldwide to push beyond their limits and achieve holistic success.
