“Be nice to people, but don’t be a pushover” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Sometimes, you just need to stand up for yourself. But we’re all raised in such a way that we tend to think that it’s always wrong to stand up for ourselves, to push back, or to be confrontational in any way. The truth is that, throughout history and today, being non-confrontational has been the cause of a lot of extra suffering. So stand up for yourself to avoid additional frustration and suffering in your own life! A goo...

“Often when it comes to education, you get what you pay for.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Work until what once seemed expensive now seems cheap.

“If your life is full of people taking advantage of you, at some point it becomes your own fault.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) In our society, being humble and quiet is something we’re often told be should do.

“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 t...

“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 ema...

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...

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 questi...

"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 situatio...

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 a...

Why are you so afraid? So timid? So fearful? If you're anything like me when I first started out, you feel these emotions. But have you ever asked yourself WHY? Maybe it's because you feel that you don't know enough. However, in my experience, most businesses don't know what they're doing either. So lucky you! Warren Buffett once said that he too used to be scared of the real world when he was in college. But when he graduated, he said, he soon realized that most people in the real world were ra...

How do you build a business with little or no experience? It’s simpler than you may think. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my 20+ years of entrepreneurship, it’s that most businesses are bad at this one key thing. And that key thing is marketing. You see, most businesses spend way too much time bettering their product. And they don’t spend enough time making sure that their product is actually known. Now I’m not saying that building the best product is a bad thing to do. But it leaves ...

Is it possible to create your own luck? Yes, of course it’s possible. Our favorite celebrities tell us all the time about the 'big break' that turned their career around and propelled them to where they are today. But the thing about creating your own luck is that you have to put in the work. Putting in the work, each and every day, puts you in a position to take advantage of the opportunities once they do come.
