The Tai Lopez Show

“Take deep dives into some of the more difficult and high-level topics of life. It’s important to work out your brain” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Some episodes of The Tai Lopez Show are on light topics, and for anyone, but sometimes you need to get deep. This episode is a bit higher level than other episodes have been. We’re discussing Will Durant and his ideas about humanity, hero’s, war, and the natural balance of the world.It’s important to train your brain to be able to tackle difficult or complicated topics. As with any ability or skill, it’s a muscle that has to be worked out, and today we’re giving you that workout through this discussion.So don’t shy away from tougher topics like these, but embrace them with excitement to learn and better yourself! “In everything: Take the best and forget the rest” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Take deep dives into some of the more difficult and high-level topics of life.

“You will always offend people with whatever you do, so don’t worry too much about it” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) This message is a hard hitting reminder that, while we all make mistakes, it’s extremely important that you always put out work that is the highest quality of which you are capable. After doing something, if you can honestly say it was the best you could have done, nobody can fault you. But if you did not pursue the work in a conscientious way, with an understanding of the consequences to yourself or whoever you work for, you have no excuse. This is a piece of internal communication with my team, as well as a lesson for everyone who wants to accomplish big things in this world: Everyone likes to make excuses for why they didn’t do as good a job as they wanted, but pure results are the real measure of what has been done. Hold yourself to this high standard, and you will go far. “It’s extremely important to be able to say and admit to yourself that you messed up” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Point

“To be successful, you must know the language of the environment that you are in” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) This episode is all about money. I’m answering your questions about how to get money, what to do with it once you have it, and how and why to start investing early. We’re talking about why reading people is an essential skill to earning more, as well as how to do it. A lot of people like to talk about how money isn’t everything, and they’re right. But the reality is that money is extremely important, because without it, you will never experience complete freedom. It’s not that the money is so important to a happy life, but that having the money brings the freedom that increases your quality of life. So listen to this episode to learn more about money, how to make more of it, and how to manage it, to bring more freedom and happiness into your life. “Money isn't everything, but you will never have complete freedom if you’re broke” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Reading people is a

“Study history so that you don’t make stupid decisions” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Do you read history? Today, most people don’t. Most people don’t read at all, but if they do read, it’s probably either light, fluffy novels or maybe a self-help book here and there. But what about history? What can a deeper understanding of history do for your life, in helping you achieve the best life possible? Today, I’m going through some moments in history, and what can be learned from them. Because without and understanding of history, there really is no way that we can predict the future. But because history tends to repeat itself, if we develop an understanding and knowledge of history and the trends that come back time and time again, we can better understand the world around us, and make more sense of where it’s headed, as well as if current political decisions are likely to be a good idea.

“Be careful about business models where your costs grow with your revenue” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Everyone is looking for the ideal business model. They’re looking to discover the perfect model to bring ever increasing revenue. Today, I’m talking about two common business models, and which I prefer. The two models: Netflix and Spotify. Netflix buys out agreements with content creators, whereas Spotify pays royalties dependent on number listens. Therefore, as Spotify’s income increases, so too does their cost. But as Netflix’s income increases, their costs stay the same, or even decrease. This is one of the most important factors to look at when analyzing a potential business. Will cost increase as revenue increases, or will cost stay the same or even decrease? Look for business models where cost decreases as revenue increases. “The ideal business is one where you sell ever increasing units at an ever decreasing cost” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Be careful about business models w

“The world needs people who are willing to say it like it is, and not gloss over it” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) We learn a lot of things in school, but the emphasis is often put on the less practical pieces of information, rather than the knowledge that will really help you get ahead and live a good life. On today’s episode, I’m going through some of the things that they should have taught us in school. I’m taking questions from the audience, to give you the information that is going to truly help you live the kind of life you want to. We go through how to get investments, how to pitch, why you should hire an accountant, how to save money on taxes, and why education will be the ultimate way we can lessen poverty in the world. “There are no solutions, only trade offs. So pick your poison” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The world needs people who are willing to say it like it is, and not to gloss over it On the flip side, if someone tells it to you like it is, you need to not get offend

“You have to train yourself to laugh at adversity” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Today, it feels like everyone is looking for something to be offended by. Whether the thing has anything to do with them or not, they’re on the search for something that they can be offended by. If you really need to be offended, though, be offended by the big problems in the world! Or, better yet, choose to learn from the process of being offended, and improve yourself through it. Take the things that people say to you, that would offend weaker people, and use them as motivation to work on improving yourself everyday. “Use pain and feeling offended to motivate yourself to improve” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Today it seems like people are looking for ways to be offended Sometimes, you need to be a little hurt by the truth, to help you change something about yourself The sooner that you learn that people won’t like you and you will be offended, the sooner you can get used to it If all you do is get offend

“Never be the person signing a contract that you don’t fully understand” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) How careful are you about the contracts that you sign? Do you read them and fully understand them, in all of their details, before attaching your signature? Or do you think it will all just magically “work out” somehow for you? Too many people do the later. They don’t pay enough attention. This is such a common thread you see in the world: Plain ignorance. As I say on this episode, the root of all the problems in the world is not the rich getting richer. The root of all problems is ignorance, plain and simple. But, in a lot of ways, it’s not everyone’s fault: The schooling system has set them up for failure. It’s set them up to go through the most formative years of life without learning the most practical skills. Things like money management, entrepreneurship, just pure logical thinking, all get passed over, and, to make matters worse, children are given tons of sugar through the sodas they drink, and then f

“Perfectionism is often considered a negative thing, when it is really a positive” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) When it comes to success, only a multifaceted approach works. The University of Pennsylvania found that the number one trait that contributes to success is conscientiousness. There are 5 facets of conscientiousness: Industriousness, perfectionism, organization, diligence, and prudence. Each of these facets plays a role, and today’s episode is about how each contributes, and how you can build your strength in each area. But it’s important to understand that a combination of many different factors are going to lead to your ultimate ability to succeed in this life. Don’t get too fixated on any one, but take a careful and holistic approach to learning and improving yourself. Focus on the 5 aspects of conscientiousness to improve your ability to succeed in life. “Organization is essential to productivity and progress in your life” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The #1 trait associat

“There are three types of people: People making things happen, people watching things happen, and people wondering what happened” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) People tend to underestimate what they can do, and what is possible, because they don’t have the ability to focus. If you can’t really concentrate your efforts on one task for an extended period of time, you’re going to find it a lot more difficult to actually get things done. That is why the ability to turn on intense focus for as much time as is needed is absolutely essential to your success. Without it, you will jump aimlessly from task to task, not finishing anything, and not getting anywhere closer to your goals. Learn to skill of focus, because it will help with every other area of your life.  “You can do a lot more than you think you can do if you can just learn how to really focus” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind There are three types of people: People making things happen, people watching things happen, and people wondering

“There is a science behind habits, and it’s important to learn it” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)  Too many people go through life haphazardly, without purpose and forethought, stumbling from thing to thing, and from idea to idea. This lack of focus will keep you from truly achieving great things in your life. But if you learn how to create the right habits and neuro pathways in your brain to help you do small amounts of a task, regularly every day for a long time, you’re ability to succeed in life will skyrocket, and you’ll achieve what you thought you couldn’t. Learn how to create those neuro pathways and create habits on today’s episode of the Tai Lopez Show. “Habits keep you from going through life haphazardly” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Fitness, money-making, public speaking, ability to read people, the ability to influence people, are all habits that people create At the age of 25, your neural pathways are pretty set as far as habits. You can still change and create habits, but i

“The school system should be less about memorizing information and more about forming good habits” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) The school system focuses far too much on memorizing data. In today’s age, data is not nearly as important as good habits. You can find any information you really need at a moment’s notice on your phone. But habits, which define how you spend your time day in and day out, are going to make the difference in how successful you are able to be. Listen to today’s podcast to find out the importance of habits in your life and how to build better ones. “The things you both love and hate in life will come down to the habits you form” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The school system should be less about memorizing information and more about forming good habits The chains of habits are too weak to be felt until they’re too strong to be broken Get in new habit learning as early as possible, because the younger you are, the easier it is The things you both love and hate in

“Almost everything you hate or love about life stems from a habit” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)  Almost everything in your life, whether you love it or hate it, can be traced back to some habit you formed. Whether it’s procrastinating when you know you should be working on something, watching hours of TV everyday, or good things like constantly looking for solutions, eating healthy, getting good amounts of sleep. In a large part, your life is simply made up of a bunch of habits you’ve created over time. This is why the school system should focus much more on forming the right habits, rather than memorizing things. Habits and having the right habits define how happy and successful you will be in life, but they’re not created instantly. They have to be refined and worked on continually, over a long amount of time. But keep at them, and they will turn into powerful pillars for your good life. “The school system should be far more geared toward creating the right habits, instead of memorization” - Tai Lopez (clic

Most of the ways life works is against your happiness, whether it’s the unfairness of life, other people trying to take advantage of you, your body’s natural decay over time, natural disasters, or other things. It’s important to be realistic about life, know that these are the facts, so that, armed with that knowledge, you can fight back, and fight for your happiness.  “The struggle to survive is the struggle to fight back against the forces that work against your happiness” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Other people will try to take advantage of you Your body will naturally decay over time Natural disasters are everywhere Life is against your happiness, so it’s a fight to find true happiness Be a realist about life, so that you have the tools to fight back and fight for your happiness The struggle to survive is the struggle to f

“If you have to be on your best behavior on the first date, you’re probably not a good fit” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) What are my top 3 pieces of advice for people who want a better dating life? The first is to never date someone who is not attracted to you. If they are with you for other reasons, you will have big problems down the road.

FOCUS” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Today I’m talking about the three main pieces of advice that I would give my younger self if I could go back in time. These are the broad ideas that are going to make a big difference in your life, no matter what your specific goals are. First of all, the quickest path between two points is always a straight line. This means that you must bring determined and unrelenting focus to your goals. Whatever you see as your aim, you need to focus very strongly on that one thing, even though it can alter and change somewhat over time. Whatever it is right now, you need to be able to bring determined and long-term focus towards its accomplishment. This is what is going to separate you from the rest of the people in the world who are also trying to accomplish things. Most of the world is distracted, and that is what is holding them

A lot of people get far too caught up in the process of attaining peripheral information, rather than exploring and seeking to deeply understand the principles and foundations of life. Things like general economics, social skills, the ability to read people, and financial principles, are the kind of foundational knowledge that you should be seeking to acquire. Because without them, when you simply focus on the peripheral information and education, it’s easy to be led astray by things that are not true. But knowledge and wisdom of foundational principles will allow you to see through the lies, identify them, and allow you to build on that foundation in a strong way so that you can be more successful in life and your pursuit of health, wealt
