I interviewed Ashlee Vance about his book, "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future."He has spent over 40 hours talking with Elon and interviewed close to 300 people for his book.Elon is someone that personifies what people want in their own lives. He is willing to give up everything he has for something he believes in.75% of people at one point in their lives will dream of starting something. The percentage of people that actually try is lower than that, and the amount of people that succeed is even lower.Elon is the first person to run three companies that are worth over a billion dollars. He is also tied for the 100th richest man in the world.From a rough upbringing in South Africa to becoming arguably one of the greatest business minds of our generation, his story resonates with anyone trying to become a successful entrepreneur.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The results are in and... e-commerce has won. Still using the brick and mortar model? You need to pivot. Quickly. Customers want the convenience of shopping online. Jeff Bezos predicted this in the 90s and now he’s one of the wealthiest people in the world.I’ve been telling people for over 10 years the internet is changing things. That’s why I started teaching online education programs. You don’t have to go to a campus to learn. Now so many people do it from home.There are more tools than ever for starting an online business. If you’re offering a physical product, use Shopify. You want to offer a product that’ll do well no matter what’s going on in the world. That’s why I offer meat, education, and clothes with my e-commerce businesses.You also need a good story. Every successful business has a great story. Stories sell. Make your story something you believe in. Elon Musk believes we need to live on other planets and builds reusable rockets.It’s not too late to get into e-commerce. More people do it now, but

As the days continue to be uncertain about when all of the chaos of coronavirus will end, many people have several questions to ask. These questions may be about business, personal life and/or government. Today Tai answers tons of them with an Instagram live session. Stay tuned!Points to Keep in Mind:Although many businesses are failing, some are skyrocketing right now.Grow your knowledge during this quarantine and read books to pass time!There's no "beginners" stock in the stock market. It's crucial to have people in your circle that are agreeable with you.B2B (business to business) consulting is a brilliant way to take advantage of this quarantine.There's always someone doing life better than you. Get over it.There's always money out there, you just have to find where it is. Incentivize a goal rather than punish a failure. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We face a very unique situation right now with the current pandemic. Coronavirus/Covid-19 is driving the economy downward drastically and we certainly weren't prepared for it. So with that said, what are you going to do about it in your world? There's a lot of risk but there might be opportunity, too."As long as cryptocurrency remains hypothetical, it'll be more volatile." - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to keep in mind:The world order is bound to change in light of today's circumstance.You can either freak out, or you can stay calm. What's gonna happen is what's gonna happen.Narcissism and Machiavellianism are completely different personalities.Always be mindful of both sides of the narrative,Cryptocurrency can be a volatile and risky market.Your investing should be primarily in things you have control of. A key rule of thumb to investing is buy when the market is low; sell when the market is high.Live your life with caution, but don't live your life out of fear.You should only be putting walls up aft

“You need to be rewired for success” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Dopamine is a substance in your brain that not only makes you feel good in general, but also confident and ambitious. But science has shown that the more that you win, the more dopamine receptors you grow. This makes you more confident and ambitious, which in turn makes you grow even more receptors.It’s a virtuous cycle.But it goes both ways, and this is why those who win tend to continue to win, while those who are stuck with a limiting mindset have a very difficult time breaking out of that mindset. Your mindset might not be your fault. It could be a result of your parents, the public school system, your friends, or any number of factors. But it is holding you back.This is why I try to show you my own success and the success of others. So that your world expands, and your mindset enlarges. As this happens, and you see the possibilities in the world, you start to win more, you grow more dopamine receptors, and the cycle begins to turn in your f

“A lot of people have great ideas and concepts, but if you don’t know how to express them to others and persuade them, you will not be able to do much with your ideas” - Jordan Belfort(click to tweet)Today’s guest is none other than the Wolf of Wall Street Himself, Jordan Belfort, and we’re talking about sales, how to learn to be a better salesman, and more generally, how to become more persuasive in everything you do in life.A lot of business people have good ideas and concepts for their business, but in reality, the value of their idea is either multiplied or drastically reduced by their ability to persuade others of their idea!This is why sales is important to everyone, not just people who do or plan to make their living as a “salesman.” If you want to be successful, you will have to learn how to convince others, and Jordan’s Straight Line System is the proven strategy to teach you how to do that.Learn all of that and much more, on today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show!Don’t forget, you can listen to The T

Buy Scott’s book “The Four” and his others here.“Our instincts, ever since we emerged from caves, is more. We always want more, because the penalty for less was death” - Scott Galloway(click to tweet)Apple has managed to do something that no other company in history has: Combine the lowest cost of goods through mass production with the highest profit margins available only to luxury brands.This combination has resulted in a company that has massive profits, and the most valuable company in the world.This demonstrates the value of finding a way to appeal to irrational urges and instincts, like status and mate-worthiness, in your marketing and product design.Learn how Apple was able to pull this off, and what it means for how you can achieve massive margins in business, on this episode of The Tai Lopez Show!Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“Always stay intellectually curious” - Naveen Jain(click to tweet)The saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” to demonstrate that if someone doesn’t want or is unwilling to do something for themselves that would be good for them, there is little you can do. But if you focus your efforts instead on how you make the horse thirsty, you’ve solved the problem.This thirst is what Naveen Jain says anyone who wants to be successful needs to cultivate. It is intellectual curiosity, and a desire to constantly learn, and it is what separates the greats, those who are super successful, from the rest.If you want to be successful, you need to cultivate inside yourself this desire to learn.

“Beauty can function somewhat like an irrationally exuberant market bubble” - Richard Prum(click to tweet)The evolutionary view of beauty has traditionally been that humans evolved a sense of what was beautiful based on practically. We’re often taught that things like the waist to hip ratio are a long-ingrained sign of fertility to men, which is why we find them attractive.My guest today, Richard Prum, has a different view. He says that beauty can be viewed more as an “irrationally exuberant financial market bubble.” In other words, it’s not so cut and dry, and natural selection has led each of us, within our own cultures, to develop a sense of what we consider attractive, not dependent on the practicality of evolutionary considerations.What do you think?

“The true definition of “luck” in this modern age is learning early” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)To determine the financial value potential of something right now, there is a simple formula: Future value = present value of future revenue. This is the formula that you can use when examining business ideas and opportunities, when looking into investments, and all other areas of financial potential.Today, I am talking about that formula, as well as why apartments are one of the lower risk real estate opportunities, the 2 ways you make money, how to monetize a brand beyond normal operations, why life is like poker, 3 ways to start a side hustle, why haters hate, why mindset is the main thing holding people back, and what the butterfly effect means for the importance of the little decisions you make everyday.Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“Your goals and prizes should be tangible” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Very few people understand the the risk/reward bias in human brains, and how it can hold you back from achieving what you want to achieve.Many people have an inaccurate understanding of the amount of pain, or work, that it will take for them to achieve their goals, as compared to the amount of happiness it will bring them when they finally do achieve those goals.This is why humans procrastinate.If they really understood the value, to them, of achieving what they were striving for in all its detail, they would not procrastinate but would be motivated to do the amount of work necessary to achieve that goal.This episode shows you how you can change that subs-conscious misunderstanding in your own life, to help you overcome the instinct to procrastinate, and rather get down to work creating the life of your dreams!Also, make sure to checkout the Tai Lopez Flash Briefing on Alexa!“Change your perception of the reward/pain ratio, and understand h

“Spend at least a couple hours per day really thinking through what you’re doing in your life” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Unintended consequences often negate the good that a regulation or ruling in government is trying to do. In fact, often the problem that was supposed to be solved is simply magnified through the unintended consequences, and the same thing can be true for your life.That is why I believe that entrepreneurs, and really everyone else as well, need to learn game theory, to understand the various ways in which their decisions will affect other people’s decisions, thereby potentially changing the outcome, and sometimes reversing the good you were trying to do with the decision in the first place.Listen to this episode to learn more about game theory and how it can apply to the decisions you make.Also, make sure to checkout the new Tai Lopez Flash Briefing on Alexa!“In the modern world, you need to be careful not to be overstimulated” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindA lot of regul

“Diversify who you learn from” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)No matter how important you think that networking is, you’re probably underestimating the real value of it. It’s so valuable that you almost can not place enough importance on it. But the way that you network is incredibly important. There is a right way and a wrong way, and on today’s episode I’m telling you what the right way is so that you get the most out of this essential aspect of business.First of call, don’t worry about email, get phone numbers whenever you can, so that you can text with people. In 2017, texting is where the attention is, and so that is where you should be too.Listen to the rest of this episode to get all 7 steps to becoming a better business networker.“A certain minimum amount of extroversion will make you happier” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindIt’s not what you know, it’s who you knowA certain minimum amount of extroversion will make you happierIf you isolate yourself too much, you will not be as happy as y

“We are sponges. Find a mentor and get inspired by hanging around that person.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)A productive daily routine is difficult to achieve.We all wake up in the morning, check our phones, and then go about our days doing the best we can. But then we finish our day and go to bed thinking: was that really the best I could do? Your daily life should be composed of tasks dedicated to either maintaining the life you’re living or trying to improve your life for some future date. If you’re disappointed with your daily routine, it’s because you aren’t attending to this rule. And if you believe you are, some trait is preventing you from seeing the picture clearly.On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are taking a close look at productivity. How can you squeeze the most juice out of your day? The first step is to be honest with yourself. Self-deception will disguise laziness as procrastination or stubbornness as ‘your opinion.’ So, before listening to this podcast, take a second to check

“You don’t necessarily want to start with your best idea, because it will be your worst execution. Just start something!” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)David Mills has made $40 million off of his internet business, and currently makes $11,000 in pure profit per day online, so today I am talking with him about how exactly he was able to accomplish all of that, so that you can learn from it and achieve those same kinds of results in your own business.A lot of today’s episode is about SEO, which stands for Search Engine Optimization, and is absolutely essential if you want to generate organic traffic from Google.
