Build on Your Strengths, NOT Your Weaknesses, to Go Faster Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “You are what you are, and you have to build on your strengths” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Have you heard the saying “jack of all trades, master of none?” It comes from the idea that someone who tries to do EVERYTHING might end up not being really good at anything. It’s the idea behind specialization. Too many people are trying to be too broad, or are trying to build on their weaknesses, instead of recognizing their strengths and working on those, to optimize their results. Then, work to surround yourself with people who have strengths in areas that you have weaknesses in, so that every area is covered. To spend too much time, energy, and effort working on your weaknesses will only be a waste of time. Therefore, the key is to be able to accurately identify your real strengths, and this is something that most people have a very hard time doing. Listen to this episode to learn how to find your real strengths, and build on them, to live the best life possible! “Awareness about yourself and who you are is the most important, first step” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The idea of authenticity is tricky, because it tends to mean different things to different people You can change part of you, but part of you will always remain the same You are what you are, and you have to build on your strengths You’re wasting your effort and energy if you’re building on your weaknesses instead of your strengths You can be very successful without trying to become someone other than who you are Very few people actually have a good understanding of their strengths A lot of people project what they wish was their strength, when it is not Society will tell you that you need to be one way, but society speaks in generalizations which are often not completely correct To find your strengths, go back to what people said about you when you were very young Make a list of all your goals over the last 18 months, and then be very honest about which things were actually accomplished, and which you didn’t really do Don’t beat yourself up over your weaknesses, focus on improving your strengths Surround yourself with people who complement your weaknesses No matter what your personality is, there’s somebody who is the exact opposite, and you should get around people like that Awareness about yourself and who you are is the most important, first step Find a balance in your life between all the things that you want, and allocate time Learn more about your ad choices.

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “There’s no single thing that will do as much to increase your ability to earn as much as educating yourself” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Standing out from the crowd is essential to earning more. If you blend in, you simply will not be noticed by the movers and shakers in any industry, so you won’t be able to climb the ladder to true influence and earning potential. Today, I’m teaching you how to raise your VRIN score to stand out, and be more valuable in your industry, to earn more. VRIN stands for Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, and Non-Substitutable. A college degree used to be a very efficient way to raise your VRIN score, before they were so common. But now, in the modern age, we need to find new ways to raise VRIN scores, and I’m teaching you exactly how on this episode. “Have a combination of learning straight from the source and learning from people. Structure AND experiential learning” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Stand out by learning more than other people You can often get visitor passes to college classes There’s no single thing that will do as much to increase your ability to earn as much as educating yourself You must learn things that are valuable to the world if you want to earn more Understand where you stand as far as your employment status, and your full understanding of what you really want out of your life, and your motivations If you’re unsure of what you should be doing, you’re never going to do a very good job of it VRIN: Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, Non Substitutable College degrees used to raise VRIN, because not too many people had them. Less so now The new version of using college to raise your VRIN score is a combination of formal and self learning Have a combination of learning straight from the source and learning from people. Structure AND experiential learning Don’t underestimate the value of an elite team Formalize your training program Don’t just train once and expect the subject to be retained, review over and over again Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Use HEXACO to Read People Quickly Apr 14, 2017

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “If you’re not as well equipped, you’ll always lose, even if you’re a better fighter” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Put time and effort into developing the right toolset. Too many people think that hustle is all that they need, and that if they have enough hustle, they will get where they want to go. But it’s not true, because having the right tools, and knowing how to effectively us them will take you much farther than hustle. And HEXACO is a perfect example of that: If you know it, and understand how to apply it to real life, you will know who you should be friends with, go into business with, or have in your life for any reason, while the person who simply sees more hustle as the goal will have to go through a process of trial and error to find the right person, and waste tons of time on the way. Put effort into developing the right toolset through books, podcasts, seminars, conferences, and anywhere else you can learn. “Put time, effort, and money into developing the right toolset” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The Hexaco score is one of the most cutting-edge psychological profiling tool to understand people Hexaco stands for: Honesty/humility Emotionality X- Extroversion Agreeableness Conscientiousness Openness to new experiences Understand Hexaco to know how to pick friends, business partners, investors, and everyone who will be a part of your life If you’re not as well equipped, you’ll always lose, even if you’re a better fighter When you don’t have enough equipment, you work hard, but don’t get the reward Put time, effort, and money into developing the right toolset Be a sponge: Learn from and soak up everything around you, just make sure it’s the right things to learn Think about your life as a “progress pyramid.” Work from a strong foundation at the bottom Having a negative net-worth is a dangerous place to be in If you make below $80k per year, it’s very easy to be in a place of financial insecurity Most people don’t have the focus to accomplish great things Learn more about your ad choices.

Just because an investor has a lot of money and is looking for an investment does not mean that they are a good fit for you. You have to match up the right investors for your idea.

The Egocentric Error: How You Can Sell to Anyone Apr 11, 2017

Show notes

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “We are all deluded into thinking that we are the center of the universe, but it’s not true” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Almost everyone in the world makes the ego-centric, which is the error of thinking, often subconsciously, that the world is all about you. That you are, in essence, the “center of the universe.” Whether people think this consciously or not, it manifests itself in the way they behave. The mistake that this causes in sales and raising money from investors, is that you spend time making assumptions that the potential investor or customer is interested in the same things you are, instead of gathering data about what the other person is really interested in, and what is most important to them. Learn how to see the world through the wants and desires of those around you, to be able to exert more influence, sell better, and far more effectively raise money, on this episode of the Tai Lopez Show! “Constantly be gathering data about the world and the people around you” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind We are all deluded into thinking that we are the center of the universe. It’s simply how our minds tend to function When trying to sell or raise money, forget about what you want, and think only about what the person across from you wants Gather as much data about the person you’re pitching as possible Constantly be gathering data about the world and the people around you Customize your presentation to match the reward that the people you’re presenting to want Learn more about your ad choices.
