“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

“Life is against your happiness, so it’s a fight to find true happiness” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)  Today is another short reminder-episode about happiness. 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

“Build on your strengths, NOT weaknesses” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Today I’m showing you the 3 steps to finding the right career for you. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, or are trying to figure out the right line of work to go into, I’m going through the simple 3-step process to find out what you should do, and what you will be happy doing long-term. Because that is what is really important for a career: Find out what you can enjoy day in and day out for years. You will find certain topics and issues that fascinate you for a moment in time, but that will turn into feeling like just a lot of work if you have to do them day after day for years.  So, instead of just looking at what you might be infatuated with at the moment, try to understand what you have a deep and lasting curiosity for, because that is the work that, over time, while it might not be as interesting as it once was, you will still enjoy doing. Listen to today’s episode to find the rest of the three steps.. “Build a business that can scale up

“Reinvest in the people around you” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Today I’m talking about 3 millionaire mentor tips that will help you find more success in your life financially. A lot of people don’t realize the importance of good credit, or don’t understand how it works well enough to be able to get a high score. But if you have good credit, you are able to use other people’s money to make more money, and that is when it all becomes very scaleable. There are some very specific tricks to make sure that your credit score is high, and I am going through some of those in this episode. In addition, I talk about when it’s a good idea to go into debt and when it is not, why you should ALWAYS go to events if you can, but not necessarily stay for long, how to act around people that you would like to network with for business, and why reinvesting in those around you is one of the smartest things you can do.  “Don’t go deep into debt for anything that will not generate any income” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to

“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. That might seem obvious, but a lot of people are caught in the trap of dating the people that they want to, without regard for this fundamental, foundational aspect in place. Be careful. Listen to this episode for the rest of my advice on how to have a better dating life! “Only date people you naturally vibe with” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Do not date people who are not attracted to you Use the dark triad test to weed out the crazy people Go with people you naturally feel like you vibe with If you have to be on your best behavior on the very first date, you might not actually have a good fit with the person Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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 defi

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”

The single test that will determine whether someone will be a benefit to your life, and lift it up, or whether they will be a drag on it, and pull you down? Ask them to do something simple for you. That’s right, it’s as simple as that. But why does it work so well? Why will that immediately reveal whether you want someone in your life or not? And how do you do this test right?

If you want to be successful and have the opportunity to make a lot of money, it’s very important to be able to spot and take advantage of trends quickly, and google trends is one of the best ways to do that. In addition, today we’re talking about why people will doubt you on your way to success. Then, when you are successful they will love and praise you, and then, chances are, they will hate you again, because public opinion is fickle, and it’s important to know that going in, so that you don’t tie your own self-worth to the public’s opinion of you. “Look at both sides of issues, don’t be close-minded” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Use google trends to stay on top of what is happening in the

Catching trends is one of the best ways to make money” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) When you look at the stories of those who have done and accomplished incredible things, you will almost always find a point at which they were so far down on their luck, they were ready to give up, and thought it was all over for them. When you feel discouraged or ready to give up, look at these stories, and consider the characters. If you feel like it can’t get any worse, know that people have gone through worse, come out on top, and you can too! Times of discouragement will come to everyone, so know that those stories are out there for you to draw courage from, and to help you pull through! “It’s always the most adaptable that survive” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Keep an eye on google trends to know what’s going on in the world, and understand the trends When you’re dow

That is the simple truth of the matter, and if you can’t see that, you will sadly be left behind in today’s economy. But to grow a social media following takes careful thought, a willingness to experiment and observe the results, and tweak your processes to match what you find. This is what too many people miss: Because you can simply delete a social media post if you decide it was a bad idea, what is holding you back from posting? Experiment! Listen to today’s episode to find out more about how I was able to grow my Instagram to 2 million followers and how you can too! “Social media is not a fad or going away anytime soon, so put work into learning it and getting better at it” -

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

If you could learn how to end procrastination in your life, your productivity and output would absolutely skyrocket. Today’s episode is about how you can set the right rewards in your life to make sure that you always have plenty of motivation to get beyond the temptation to procrastinate. And while the exact rewards will vary from person to person, the most important thing is knowing yourself well enough to know what rewards need to be set up for you, in order for you to not procrastinate. “Stay calm and cool under pressure” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The reward is never as good as you think it will be, an

The Dark Triad is a test that people can take that will show them what levels of narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychotic tendencies they have, and it one of the most telling tests for whether you want someone in your life or not. As you go through life, you need to start recognizing these traits and tendencies in others, so that you can be on the lookout for them, and know which people to be careful around! Knowing how to read people is one of the most important skills you can develop, and I talk about it a lot. This episode is all about the dark triad character traits you need to look out for in your acquaintances, and how to spot them. “Learn how to recognize different psychological issues in other people, and how to deal with them” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)

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.

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.
