The Tai Lopez Show

Opening up a business once meant signing a lease. But today, the recipe for entrepreneurship calls for something far different. With just a few clicks online, you can have an e-commerce store up and running. Gone are the days of gatekeepers, as most online platforms have removed the barriers to enter entrepreneurship.

Each person has a unique story. But it’s sometimes hard to see that inside the very noisy marketing world. From all angles, all day, we are bulldozed with branding content that aims to shift our consumer behavior. But how much of it actually work? When we take a step back and examine what messaging is actually effective, we see that it’s those that are derived from truly unique stories.

Marketing is storytelling. And there is no greater venue for storytelling than the Internet. Today, the opportunity to market your business is unprecedented with an online presence. With no barrier to entry on social platforms, you can launch your business or brand to the top.

It’s easy to blame externalities. When we zoom out to examine our lives, we often find ourselves disappointed in the position we’re in. The immediate response to this is to try to find reason for why we’re not where we want to be. By placing the fault on things outside of ourselves, we relieve ourselves of the responsibility, ultimately not addressing the problem and instead fueling the stagnation.

We all want the next big thing. But most people sit back, thinking that the inspiration will just come upon them one day. This is the false idea of success that prevents us from achieving our dreams. If we instead look at the trends, we can calculate and manifest a different reality by riding the waves of what tides are rising.

Since the founding of the United States, in every generation, in every field of business, politics, sports and society, we’ve watched in shock as corruption, deceit and desire bring down heroes, titans and those we thought we could trust. In the aftermath, we’re left with too many questions, how did this happen? Who is to blame? Subscribe to American Scandal today. www.wondery.fm/scandal

Our President is everywhere. No matter where you turn, his face and some news headline is screaming at you. The mass media makes it near impossible for us to focus on anything else. However, some of the blame must be put on ourselves for keeping those Twitter feeds open, leaving the TV on, and letting our Facebook friends dictate our thoughts.

There are the people who care about you and the people who don’t. Deciphering who belongs in which camp can sometimes be challenging. As our stock grows, more and more people come into our lives, wanting to be a part of the rising tide. But are they there to contribute or just ride the waves?

It’s a no-brainer. When we’re feeling under the weather, we seek out the antibiotic prescription. For bacterial infections, this works incredibly well. Within days, the sickness has cleared out from our system, and we can return to our normal life. But what happens over the long-run from this quick-fix?

Introspection is a luxury. In our busy lives, we become so consumed by our day-to-day that we rarely take the time to think and breathe. The irony of this is that looking inward is required for personal and professional growth. So, while we might think that filling our calendars is taking us to the next level, we must simultaneously be taking time for ourselves to process and learn.  

Sleep is a requirement for success. But how much sleep is too much? And how many hours of sleep is too few? When we go to bed every night, we must calibrate the necessary amount of sleep to sustain an optimal day. This life hack, when executed, can take your daily hustle to the next level.

In a competitive marketplace, our customers demand a lot. At any point in a sales journey, a potential customer can opt out and seek a competitor for a similar product or service. This challenge makes the marketing and advertising messaging of utmost importance. And it doesn’t stop there. Once a customer is acquired, the challenge to keep them a customer remains.

Narcissists are everywhere. Today, more than ever before, the ego is inflated. With the rise of social media, our smartphones have become devices that pump our self-esteem through Instagram likes. If we rely to heavily on this for our self-worth, we run the risk of falling into the trap of narcissism.

A show for entrepreneurs, for anyone who wants to know about business, or how to have a life while having a business.

The problem isn’t the amount of time in a day. It is how we use it. As our businesses and brands grow, managing our time becomes more and more difficult. With the mountain of to-do lists piling up, we are left with no choice but to focus in on what’s most important and execute from there.
