Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “The quickest path between two points is a straight line. 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 back. But in a world full of distractions and distracted people, you need to bring intense focus to your goals, and you will see them accomplished. For the other two things I would tell my younger self, as well as more advice on how to live the best life possible, listen to this episode of The Tai Lopez Show! “You can get almost anything you want in life, but it will always take you a bit longer than you think” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The quickest path between two points is a straight line. FOCUS Build on your strengths, not on your weaknesses Do wish for other people’s strengths, and try to build on those You can improve weaknesses, but you can’t primarily build on them You can get almost anything you want in life, but it will always take you a bit longer than you think The temptation to give up is right before you succeed Life is a like a ladder, you start at the bottom, and if you try to jump up to the top too fast, you’ll fall on your face Go on step, one rung of the ladder at a time Go directly toward what you want, with focus, in everything in your life, whether personal or professional Build the mental skills to be able to bring singular focus to whatever you need to To get what you want, you need to deserve what you want Pray for what you want Everybody’s specific desire is different, but YOU know what you want, so FOCUS on it Even if you’re young, don’t assume that you have a lot of time. Bring this kind of focus to your goals, so you aren’t left with regret When the whole world is distracted, YOU be FOCUSED Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How You Can Gain Wisdom, Not Just Information, To Be Truly Successful May 19, 2017

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “Try to attain wisdom rather than just information” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Information is important, but facts can distract from the foundational principles of the world. 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, wealth, love and happiness. “Wisdom is the common sense you get from being curious and observant” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Everyone has a different opinion on how to lead the best life. But you need focus in your life if you want to see success If you aren’t careful in life, you just won’t get anything done Try to attain wisdom rather than just information Understand the foundational principles, so that you don’t get distracted by all of the extra information available. Without the foundation, you won’t be able to tell the truth from the lies If you don’t have common sense and wisdom, you can make a lot of money, but will probably lose it Sometimes you must be cynical, and sometimes cynicism closes the door on opportunity Most problems come from problems of how to interact with people Wisdom is the common sense you get from being curious and observant Learn more about your ad choices.

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “Most people only make money with time, but making it with money is infinitely scaleable” - Warren Buffett (click to tweet) This episode is a recounting of the notes I took at a recent Berkshire Hathaway shareholder’s meeting. Speaking and in attendance were Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Charlie Munger and many more, so on this episode I am going back through my notes to deliver the takeaways and key points to you. Throughout the meeting, they got into issues like the concept of making money with money instead of time, why you should specialize, why you must be a constant, life-long learner, why good health is essential and should be a priority, as it will affect everything else that you try to do, and why you should do what you want to do NOW instead of waiting for the perfect time. “College degrees are fine, but what are you learning RIGHT NOW?” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind One of the definitions of investing is the ability to make money with money Most people only make money with time, but making it with money is infinitely scaleable You have to understand the basic fundamentals before getting into advanced topics You can’t be good at everything, you MUST specialize Experiment, find what you’re good at, and then double down on that Problems will not go away if left alone, they will only get worse College degrees are fine, but what are you learning right now? You don’t need a lot of wins to make a lot of money, you just need a few good ones If you let your health go down, it will negatively affect the rest of what you’re trying to do When you pick your career, don’t pick entirely based on money, pick based on your interest Be cautious when making investments based on EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) Capitalism will always hurt a few while benefitting society as a whole Every type of society has pros and cons Never tell anyone about your problems. 90% of people don’t care, and the other 10% that do care are glad you have them The 7-Takeaways Focus on your circle of competence- what you KNOW you’re good at When a problem arises, in any situation, deal with it quickly A life of continuous learning is a life that’s well-lived. The more you learn the more you earn You can’t catch all the investments. Know that you will miss some, and be ok with that While you do learn new things, be sure not to unlearn the old principles Keep your physical body in good shape, otherwise it will negatively affect the rest of what you do If you have something to do, don’t wait!

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “If you want to convince and persuade someone, appeal to their desires” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Everyone needs to learn how to persuade other people if they want to be successful with anything in their life, but most people are going about it all the wrong way. Because most people think about themselves almost all of the time, are obsessed with themselves, their feelings, emotions and desires, these are the things that you need to appeal to if you want to be persuasive. This might seem obvious, but very, very few people are really good at putting themselves in someone else’s shoes and really approaching a conversation, whether sales or other, from that viewpoint. Today, we’re talking about how to effectively persuade someone through the skill of looking at life through the lens of their desires and emotions, not your own. “People are in love with themselves, not with you, and good marketers understand that” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind If you want to convince and persuade someone, appeal to their desires Nobody is ever convinced by logic. Appeal to desires, self interest, and emotions instead Emotion is still the most powerful thing in almost anyone’s life Start with other people’s interest, instead of your own, when you’re asking for anything People are in love with themselves, not with you, and good marketers understand that Focus on other people, and bring up your own needs last Learn more about your ad choices.
