Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Why You Should Be a Hero in Individual Aspects of Your Life Jan 17, 2017

Show notes

“Be a hero by seeing what others choose not to see.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a good day to reflect on what the definition of a hero is, and who is or can be a hero. To me, the definition of a hero is somebody who can see ahead of the curve; somebody who can see things that other people either cannot, or choose not, to see. When the status quo is strong in culture, such as segregation was during the days of Martin Luther King Jr., it can be extremely difficult to see past preconceived notions of how things should be. But that’s exactly what makes a hero, and that is what we should be striving for in every individual area of our lives. So take a careful look at the status quo, and where it might be wrong. Examine your life, and work to take it to the next level in every area. Work towards becoming a hero. “Life is like a videogame: Always be working to go to the next level.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Heroes die too early, compared with all the idiots in the world whose years combined equal far more If it doesn’t exist and it’s needed, that means you should be the one to create it - if you have that skill set The status quo, regardless of how bad it is, is very hard to recognize as wrong at the moment it is the status quo The definition of a hero to me is somebody who sees ahead of the curve. Who sees the things that conventional people can’t see Look for ways that you can be a visionary in any specific area of your life Be a hero by seeing what others choose not to see Learn to love and embrace innovation and change. Love the fact that what you’re comfortable with now should evolve Life’s a videogame: Always be working to go to the next level As an entrepreneur, you have to look for contradictory and non-supporting evidence “The definition of a hero to me is somebody who sees ahead of the curve, and sees the things that conventional people can’t see.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Use Email Marketing to Increase Your Income Jan 16, 2017

Show notes

“Congruency and ease of use is the most important thing in email marketing” - Tai Lopez Email marketing is far from dead. In fact, it’s still one of the most powerful ways to connect and communicate with a consumer. But too many people don’t know how to do it right. Or sometimes they get part of it right, but they create friction for the reader in understanding the content and taking the action that they need to take. Today I’m walking through a very common mistake: The lack of congruence in email marketing. I’m showing you examples of the problem, so that you can avoid the same mistake yourself, and see better results in your email campaigns. Points to Keep In Mind Email marketing is still one of the most powerful forms of communication. But it’s easy to make mistakes You can use templates, but they often give the email a more formal, less personal feel, which can be harmful Create a user experience that flows for the user, and always takes them exactly where they would expect If your user flow is confusing, you will experience a lot of traction Congruency and ease of use is the most important thing in email marketing Put the link in the email three times Create a streamlined process where the customer gets exactly what they expect each time they click a link In the digital age, it’s easier to acquire customers, but it’s also easier to lose them “In the digital age, it’s easier to acquire customers, but it’s also easier to lose them” - Tai LopezLearn more about your ad choices.

Does It Matter If Donald Trump Is President? Jan 11, 2017

Show notes

Most people in the world have the wrong mindset toward what is holding them back. In the majority of cases, you’re not being held back by the government, the system, or any of the things that people most commonly like to blame. You’re being held back by you. While there are certainly instances where this is not the case, they are rare, and the idea that you are responsible for your own destiny should be freeing, and exciting to you! While it’s easier to blame all of your problems on other people and other things outside of your control, the better, more freeing and more practical route is to take responsibility for your life, identify the things that you can change in your life, and then get to work changing them! Points to Keep In Mind It’s rarely the government that is holding you back 9 times out of 10 its people who hold themselves back It’s easier to take the victim route rather than taking responsibility, which is why most people do it Government isn’t the primary reason you will fail or succeed. You are the primary reason Even in repressive governments, some rise up more than others What made great figures in society so great is the way they handled themselves. It was not the circumstances around them Quotables: Click to tweet what you agree with: “Did you do everything possible you could do to maximize your success?” - Tai Lopez “Nobody cares about you as much as you, so you’re the best person to help you out.” - Tai Lopez “If you play the victim, you ARE the victim.” - Tai LopezLearn more about your ad choices.

Harvard and College Dropout Tai Lopez: Should You Get a College Degree? Nov 30, 2016

Show notes

I spoke at Harvard University last week and it was an extremely humbling experience. Not everybody gets to speak at the top university in the world. Yet, leading up to my talk in Cambridge, all I could think about was the fact that I myself was a college dropout. And make no mistake about it, college dropouts are foreign to Harvard. Between Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Damon and others, Harvard’s dropouts have been more successful than most other colleges' graduates. Which leads to a question that I am always asked. “Tai, should I go to college?” In the video I’ll explain how you should really approach college. And when should you get a degree versus when you should drop out, or skip it altogether.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Can I Make 300 People Wealthy? Nov 24, 2016

Show notes

https://www.tailopez.com/socialmediaprogram I have a simple goal for myself. I want to make 300 people insanely wealthy. And I’m not talking about making people who already have a ton of money wealthier. I’m talking about helping ordinary people create financial independence from themselves. That’s because I want to help the people who were just like me. The ones who don’t come from a family of money and aren’t lucky enough to have received an inheritance. And I know this sounds like a bit of a lofty goal, creating 300 wealthy people… But the truth is, I have already been creating wealthy people through my programs for years now. And with the evolution of snapchat, people write me so much that I actually get to document people’s progress as it’s happening. For example, two months ago I first opened my Social Media Marketing Agency course where I teach people how to get businesses to pay you to help grow their social medias. This was the first time I opened up the curtains to how I grew my YouTube and Facebook accounts to just about 700,000 subscribers/Likes. But the thing about social media is that it’s not enough to just have followers. My program teaches step by step techniques on how to monetize your following, no matter how big or small it may be. And only a few weeks after the launch of my program, I had someone message me saying that my program is helping them make 20k a week. Click here to learn more about how to start your Social Media Marketing Agency - https://www.tailopez.com/socialmediaprogram (I actually inserted the screenshot of this message in the video above) And a question I get all the time from my peers in the entrepreneur world is why do you share your secrets. Aren’t you just creating more competition for yourself, Tai? While it is true that I am creating more competition for myself. The reason I created this Social Media Marketing Agency program is because I’ve spoken at Harvard and London Business School, which are the top 2 universities in the world. And after talking to those kids, I am more then aware that everyone doesn’t have $200,000 to invest into an Ivy League education. And to be completely honest. Most of those Ivy League kids I spoke to don’t even have the money themselves. They’re just going deeper and deeper into debt. The educational system is a real problem in the world that needs to be fixed. People are going into huge amounts of debt without learning money-making skills to even get themselves out of it. And now they’ll literally be stuck paying off these student loans for the next 3,4 or 5 decades of their lives. But instead of complaining about the system. I’ve decided to do my part and “be the change I wanted to see.” So if you want to learn step by step techniques on how to land big clients and have them pay you to manage their social media.

How To Invest Your Money & When To Buy Or Rent A House Nov 17, 2016

Show notes

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." This is one of my favorite quotes because it illustrates the way the majority of people think. Before I opened up my real estate course, with my business partner Cole Hatter, many people I spoke to about real estate equated Renting a house with being poor, and buying a house with being rich. But if you want to separate yourself from the masses, you have to have to think differently then the masses. Because the reality of the situation is that there are many celebrities who rent their homes as opposed to buying them. So do they rent because they can't afford their homes? Of course not. So when should you buy versus when should you rent? What do you do with your income? Where do you place it to get the highest rates of returns? In this video I talk about the secrets of how the wealthy invest their money.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Show notes

Rihanna is one of the most recognized figures in the world. And if you ever have the pleasure of meeting her, it won't be hard to tell why. When I meet individuals with the accomplishments of Rihanna I try to think extremely practically. So after my conversation with her, I had these two thoughts: 1) Why is Rihanna so loved? 2) How can I apply that to my own life? The answer to why Rihanna is so loved is evident in our conversation. Despite her popularity and riches, Rihanna is still extremely humble. And this is exactly what sets her apart from most other celebrities and people in general.Learn more about your ad choices.

How To Do Half The Work So You Can Relax Nov 02, 2016

Show notes

There's so much misconception about the word hustle. At times hustle is extremely necessary. This is especially true when you're starting out on your entrepreneurial journey. But hustle is a means to an end, it's not a goal. Your goal should be to create a sustainable business model, that if you put a great team behind it, can run without you being in the day-to-day. Having a sustainable business will allow you to spend time with your spouse, your kids, your friends and your loved ones. You'll also have time to hit the gym, a place that you've neglected for so long. Your goal shouldn't be to purely hustle. Your goal should be to live a long, healthy and fulfilled life. Set your sights on living that life instead, although, you might have to hustle at times to get there...Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
