Damn Tai, what a journey it has been. I subscribed to your channel after buying the 67 steps when you had less than 20K followers. Since then my entire mindset has changed when it comes to pursuing success. I've received SO much value from the 67 steps and the lessons that you have put into it. You deserve all the success you have received so far! I'm really looking forward to future content to keep me on the narrow road.
+Tai Lopez Tai, I really don't see a need to purchase your 67 steps program when you offer so much life changing free content on your social media sites.
+Madara2010X if you don't need to purchase that 67 steps you don't have to take it, if you already have life changes keep it up, Tai do that because he know that maybe people who are smart don't have idea how to get started because of their life issues, so that is a way to pull those people up and make them see how far they can go, he don need the money of all of his followers, what he are proud of is the knowledge and life changes that they get, and i can be sure of it because i am a proof, i get better in english hearing him, the free talks and stuff, i notice that, and my life is changing, that doesn't mean that i'm never gonna take his 67 steps, while i keep the momentum i'll be on my way to get his 67 steps, so don't judge if you don't understand the real point of this
Tai, your on point man!!! I love your stuff! I met you in person last month at the movies and am currently in your money and entrepreneur accelerator and the value of those two combine is worth more than my whole college degree. So much practical, unique, and valuable knowledge I will forever be indebt to you! You spark the seed in me to think bigger and take new paths! It's a blessing to have run into your material, keep up the great work and thank you!!! I will keep your team posted when I have gone through the entire accelerator :)
+Chase C Yes way better. The 67 steps mentor is good but the Accelerator is great. Gives you practical knowledge on money and business you can apply to your everyday!
+airlopez21 From my understanding you have to schedule a time for them to call you so they can figure out which program is right for you. Give his team a call or shoot them an email and they should be able to help very easily :) best of luck !!!
Hey, Tai, I'm 14 years old and from a modest family, I am not obsessed with becoming rich but obsessed more with making a change or creating something new. I don't know what I want to do career wise yet but your videos have taught me lessons to apply to everyday life. Thanks!
Tai, you're so inspirational. I'm 13, very young, and I also wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have a single mother, we move around alot, we've had to live in shelters several times in the past. And to know that someone as wealthy and happy as you were, in some way, in my position inspires me. You give such great information and advice that I can use for the future to change my present. And you're just so wise and inspirational. You do a great job in guiding people in the right direction. Thank you so much, I love all of your content.
Swimming against my dad and his way of thinking has been one of the hardest hurdles. He has been a terrible influence for me in a lot of areas and I just feel blessed to have escaped that environment and mindset. It has taken a lot of hard work and strength to get to where I am now. His ways of thinking about money will have him and anyone who listens to him broke and unhappy for the rest of their life. Thank you for all your help Tai! Making my way through the 67 steps, on step 38 tomorrow. I am now at the place where I can stand firm against him in a calm kind way standing in wisdom. Thank you for all you help Tai.
He taught me to think I had to go to college to make money. He also thought paying bills late is a normal thing, and having a bank account in the negative is normal for him. In wasn't until a couple years ago I broke free from that way of thinking.
+Tyler Buck Awesome to hear! Sorry to hear about your situation. So many children have been influenced in terrible ways by their parents, not just their opinion on money. I hope I as a teacher can help as many children (and parents!) as I can. Stay strong!
+Zeron! Nonsense. House tours are great and fun to see. Burglers get shot. Problem was we did not see enough of the house. Lets get the whole tour. Much better presentation than the lame lamborghini one, this one had warmth.
+Zeron! A burglar who could get into his house (I'm assuming he has some kind of security system) is likely competent enough to figure out the layout anyway.
A myth I have always believed is that wealth comes simply from great ideas. Anytime I see an awesome new product I ask myself, why didn't I think of that? And I hear people say that all the time. So for a period in my life I made my number one goal all about thinking of the next big idea. I was essentially chasing a mirage because I did not have enough knowledge to take a great idea and make it a reality. A great idea is just that, a great idea. Turning that idea into a reality takes skill and knowledge which I have always overlooked. This is the viewpoint portrayed by the media.
When I first saw your ad I was always told how greedy and stuff Tai was so I always ignored his ad. But one day I went against what everyone said and watched his videos... I feel just watching them inspired me is much and I've improved so much just from watching a couple of hours of his vids. If I was too stubborn to see his ad, not sure what I would be like now... Thanks Tai, hope you see this
Tai, without a doubt your my mentor. I pause you to have conversations with you like I'm there. I watch 3 of your videos everyday and it inspires me to better person overall. I never had a father figure and now that im 25, i search for knowledge about life from a man's perspective. Your encouraged me to read one book per day which is hard when you are in the military working all day long but i still put forth the effort to train my mind. I appreciate you taking the time out to discuss these important facts about life.
Tai, great blog. I am a new subscriber since a month ago. I came across your info ad when you talked about how reading many books led you to your success. How having a Lamborghini isn't the "WHY" you were able to reach your goals, but taking more pride in your library of books you have in your garage. As an entrepreneur in direct sales I am very inspired by you, & continue to watch all your videos. I have had success in business a few years back.. After a devastating storm in NYC (Sandy) & losing my business I have been trying very hard to get back in my feet. Maybe I lost my motivation, the desire, perseverance, drive to find my strength in striving for my goals, but I have found a mentor in you & I just want to thank you for inspiring, motivating me. JR
Thank you Tai for all your amazing advice! I am an 18 year old from SJ, CA, and I'm straight out of high school. I graduated with no goals.. no dreams.. I started watching your Lamborghini ads and started to look into all your videos and webinars. I've gotten into reading, and I used all the knowledge I acquired at my part time job at Lids (hat store). A lady came in one day. She acknowledged my customer service and took my number, because she believes I have what it takes to work over at her company, making 2-3k a month! Now, I have that to look forward to. It's a job over at Transamerica in Milpitas. Not only will I be making big bucks, but now I'll have mentors.. Sharing all my knowledge with clients.. Investing.. Becoming an entrepreneur.. A real chance to grow all thanks to you and your advice. (: Thank you so much Tai! - Michael Millett
I relate to this guy on the computer screen more than most friends and family currently surrounding me. He is vocalizing what I think about all the time! Thanks Tai!
The funny thing about "stuff" is that so many people don't realize how much more valuable your thoughts are than the stuff you give away. Powerful though mixed with wise counsel and defiitive action will grant us more "stuff" than we can count. Thanks for always focusing on upgrading our grey matter with said wise counsel, brother.
These post are saving my life right now! Recently I was laid off from my job of six years and I was in a shock not knowing what to do. Then I started watching your videos and realized that this is my perfect chance to make something of myself! I don't have to devote my energies to make others "rich". I can do it as long as I stay focused and believe no matter how hard it appears to be! Thank you for these videos I truly appreciate them!
Everything I've learned from this guy has been absolute. I'm alway at the live talks and encore sessions to grab things i might have missed and all of the knowledge I've gained motivates me to improve my VRIN score. I've always wanted to join the 67 steps but South African currency makes it difficult o accumulate enough money and support my family. But I continue to push forward by finding ways to settle college debt first by looking for a job. These videos motivate me and remind me that knowledge is power and Intelligence is putting what you know into action. You are my virtual mentor. Thank you
For this reason I got rid of my old friendships. They are people who are too comfortable and don't want to do anything to progress in life. They also didn't believe in me going for my dreams even though they said they were my friends and will be there for me no matter what. To keep hearing to people with the same mentality about the things you mentioned, there comes a point where you have to know your self worth and not listen to any of that and just do you. Tai, you're amazing! Keep it up.
Just found your channel through a Tedtalk add and Im so glad I found you! All these ideas I had in my head about success connect with your philosophies. Im trying to complete my first musical album and was losing direction on how to stay motivated when things are against me. Thank you so much for this! Its really something someone like you doesn't have to do at all and it's wonderful to see someone whose truly interested in helping those who will listen
Your so inspiring. I'm only 14 and I have wanted to have a company since I was 9. I am currently 14 I saw your two hour long video that you out am ad out for a while ago when it first came out. It inspired me I watched all 2 hours of it. I was mind blown on how you went from living on a trailer on a couch to working for free with someone for him mentoring you then moving on and meeting more mentors and doing successful things. It shows you can do anything if you try. Recently I decided to stop sitting down and thinking about my dreams and goals and make them happen. I asked my 22 year old brother who is going to college and majoring in business and education at CSUN if he wanted to start a company. He said yes and I was ecstatic. We both had dreams and I wanted him to be my business partner. I want to do something in life while I'm alive leave a impact in history for doing something great for helping others achieve their goals in life.
Awesome upstairs. Thanks for the mini -tour of your house. Bought and listened to all 67 Steps but I need to listen to them again and work on the material and ideas. Living in Edmonton, Canada. Love your stuff, especially the Lamborghini lessons!
Love that you're tackling this tricky taboo topic Tai. I recently read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and whilst I didn't agree with some of it, my takeaway from the whole thing is that everything is a mindset. Becoming wealthy doesn't have to be a corrupt path and it can allow you to benefit others not just yourself. Changing that mindset from "I want to become wealthy so I can get everything I want and be happy" to "I want to become fulfilled and happy and content with my life and help others become content with theirs" is an important transition. I, like you, have always been taught that money is bad, money is the root of all evil and this is I believe is a complete myth that we're told to keep us within our socio economic group. You aren't automatically a bad person because you seek wealth. You're a bad person because you haven't sought enlightenment and to look for the happy things in life. Oh and the get rich quick stuff. It doesn't work. We need to debunk that myth too. You get wealthy by putting in hard and sustained effort in a lot of different areas. No one owes you a thing - we must always remember that. Looking forward to the next pep talk.
After reading some of the posts, I'd like to say I enjoy listening to Tai and feel he has a lot to offer. I watch several of his pod casts daily. He, in my opinion is a straight shooter and a success as well. I see no flaws in his method, just people who seem to want it given to them, I don't mind working to become successful and Tai has given me that chance to do so by his presentations. Thanks Tai. Down on my luck in Tennessee, but that will not stop me. Keep up the good work.
Hey Tai, I was just listening to this looking at the cover of my new copy of Disrupt Yourself (freshly arrived after listening to your interview with Jay Samit yesterday) - swimming against the tide! Your interview with him was truly extraordinary - I think virtually every sentence was worth the cost of the programme, never mind the whole interview! I continue to be amazed at the value you give away - I'm currently going through several programmes and am constantly inspired. Definitely mind and vision expanding!
Thanks Tai, people are afraid of leaving their security blanket in a comfortable job that they hate. It doesn't make any easier when the majority of people who didn't have the guts to leave their own security blanket, are constantly giving the potential entrepreneur negative feed back. The naysayers continue to magnify every possible obstacle! Therefor Your encouragement is so valuable! I really enjoy all encouraging videos so valuable to the new kids on the block. thank You so much for the ongoing knowledge.
I think an origin story many people grow up with is that you have to come from money to have any chance to be successful in life. It is an extremely discouraging mindset that I used to have. I used to think that rich kids have all the opportunities and their path to success is laid out for them and that since I don't come from a wealthy family I can never make it. However, your videos are extremely encouraging and you add to the MANY success stories of people that didn't come from much. It just shows me that it's possible to make your own destiny with hard work and dedication. Thank you for your words of wisdom!
Hey Tai i normally don't post comments but i have seen a few of your videos and i have to say man Your words really opened my eyes to improving my self one thing you said was "The more you learn the more you earn" Its hard i didn't finish high school i been working since i was 16 and thing never seem to work out. But now im 27 and started going back to school to get my diploma i been thinking of becoming my own boss and starting a clothing line and some other things. Thanks for you videos you post sometimes you just need someone who is successful to give you advice but i seems i dont have any of those people around me I think thats why i like your stuff and some other thing like podcast etc. Thanks Again Dominico
Hi tai, I'm 20 and this year hasn't been to great and I've noticed that I've somewhat lost my drive a little bit to succeed and excel in life, and I started watching your videos about less than a month ago and somehow they have kind of brought me out of a fog so I can better focus on my future and where I want to be and I feel that fire and drive for success coming back to me. So I just want to say thank you for that, and I will continue to watch your videos and improve on myself. 😊👌🏼💯🙌🏼
Thanks for the balanced info. Perfect timing for me to discover you. Really got my gears turning. I'm a fella who started a small shop (Ascendent Instruments) building historical/modern instruments & tube amplifiers currently grinding it out & am in the planning stage of growing my biz. Thanks again, Tony
I really had to learn this growing up in the success corridor. while in the dark of success I had to understand not to listen to the masses. including your parents, friends and associates. A lot of these people don't have what you want. yes Tai is right you can listen to people for there is wisdom in the wind but that doesn't mean it'll blow you in the right direction. I had to listen to my own circulation. My own inner being because without doing that I get clogged in the bull of everybody else shit. it's my time to listen to myself DESPITE my current circumstances. circumstances don't determine the validity of your inner voice. thx Tai for being a great leader.
I've just started coming to your channel for inspiration but already loving it. I think one of my most negative self-talk has been something like not all avenues were open to me and that I needed to be "reasonable" in my career choices. What I've also started to realize is that there was no maliciousness to passing that belief on... it was THEIRS as well. You can't pass on what you don't know and you can't give better than what you have. ps..I love your koi pond! :)
Tai, I just turned 19 years old and i've never been so moved. You, as well as others like you, have changed my life and my perspective to be what i was meant to be. My goal is to read a book a week, and yes, i will be joining your accelerated program in the near future! Maybe one day I can have the honor to meet you. I've watched almost all of your free stuff and I feel like that alone is enough to change my life forever (for the better!). So thanks Tai, i will be seeing you.
I remember watching your first video of you in the garage with your new Lamborghini. At first I thought what all the others did, that you're just some get rich quick scam. As I continued watching your video and then going to your channel you inspired me. I'm a junior in high school and being a "pro procrastinator" and not exactly sure what I want to pursue in life, I find your videos and overall message extremely helpful. I defiantly have the talent and persistence to be successful not only money wise(like you say "materialistic things"), but also in knowledge. I take your advice and use it everyday to the extent I can, and already see an improvement in my quality of life. Thank you Tai for sharing what you've learned!
Tai, you are a true inspiration. You back all of your claims with proof and evidence. Nothing makes one listen like driving a Lamborghini with Miss Kentucky in the shotgun seat!! I also like how you use quotes from the books you read . Your wisdom and knowledge is FAR beyond your years. I have learned more from your you tube videos than from ALL of the people that I have ever known in my life combined. Ever since the first time I watched you on you tube, I find myself reading more and wanting to learn more. Keep the videos and wisdom coming!!
Man I just started watching your channel here on UA-cam thru one of my friends who also listens to you. Dude you give very good advice and are good to listen to . You recommend great books etc. thanks
Intelligent people are great to be around. And so are inspiring people. You seem to have both qualities and even though I don't agree with everything you say, I find myself clicking on your videos more often than some of the other channels I subscribe to because I can really appreciate someone with such a rare combination.
Hey Tai, I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate what you're doing for people. I personally just started watching your videos. I'd seen the video of you in your garage showcasing how many books you have, but I didn't take the time out of my day to actually dive deep. I'm 22 at the moment, and I've reached a point in my life that has me tired. Tired of being where I am. Tired of where I am in life in general. I've lived 22 years already, and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm not in college, I work as a waiter at a restaurant, and I still live with previous legal guardians. All I have going for me is the fact that I'm saving money to start college again. I recently found your UA-cam channel again while looking for ways to improve myself. The first thing I saw when I went to your channel was "How to Make Friends and Influence People". That absolutely blew my mind. I actually own that book, but I was never determined enough myself to read it. I've always felt like I've been doing something wrong when it comes to improving myself. It just helps to see that a successful man such as yourself went through what I'm going through. It helps me see that I absolutely do have a chance. From this point on I will continue to watch your videos, increase my knowledge through all means, and work hard to prosper in life. To get where I want to get. So, once again Tai, thank you so much. I truly appreciate this. It gives me hope.
What's crazy is that not even a day after I dropped out of college I stumbled upon these videos. While it has been only about two weeks since I actually dropped out, these videos are keeping me motivated towards my goals.
I have watched a lot of your videos over the course of about 7 months and these really help me to get things done with school etc as like encouragement so thanks for the great vlogs.
Tai, I started watching your videos just a couple days ago and let me tell you its life changing, I have my own business at 19 here in NYC (started March) and its been a tough road but your speech about having a mentor really hit me, Its people like you who I believe are blessings from the universe, if you're ever in NYC and want a good cup of coffee don't hesitate to hit me up, I am forever grateful for your knowledge.
Big fan Tai, I love all your advice! I'm 16 years old and currently have 2 companies, and i am starting up a 3rd right now! you taught me how to find the drive and desire to read and learn everyday and how to overcome obstacles and how to steamroll someone r something if they get in your way from reaching your destiny
Hey Tai, I'm sixteen living in the UK, so I can't really see your talks at the moment, but I keep up with them all through your channel etc, always trying to work out ways to apply your knowledge to my life early on at my age to help me on ahead, really appreciate you sharing your wisdom, knowledge is valuable and you share it at no expense , I'm studying hard, keep me going!
Tai, I love your videos man they bring a lot of new perspectives to light for the world to grab ahold of. Not a lot of people do what you do and I hope to see many more videos. I love to meet you someday and be able to talk and learn from you in person. Thanks for these videos it means a lot tai!
I'm barely passing high school and everyone tells me I'm going no where in life, but what I believe is that school and the entire education system is set for people to become the middle class working force, it's almost like everyone is made to be robots. I agree that to become successful (to me middle class is not successful it's just getting by for a common family). and enjoy your life a lot more is to break away from the normal system. I want to be more than just average, I want to be the best and prove everyone wrong who puts me down about my life. To sum it up, I want to learn how to become successful, not how to be average.
Thank you tai, I have been watching your videos and following you on Instagram. You have helped me out a lot, the things you say for motivation and books that you put out. Thank you
Seeing those paintings in the background, here is my origin story: artists should be poor, suffering for their art, and those who are good businessmen can only be frauds. Though historically incorrect (look at Rembrandt) it's still the number one myth in the art business, and people's number one conversation starter by far. Thanks for the great vids Tai!
You are a Wiseman Tai and your talks are encouraging, giving hope and I believe that I can make it in life ever since I started listening to you..i grew up in a society where being rich is regarded as being connected to some evil powers and making sacrifices to the evil creatures that generates wealth...so I knew that if you see a man rich you should stay away from him and that's what our parents told us as kids and warned us to stay away and runaway each time we see the rich man, the thing was we may not get lucky and fall victims and get sacrificed ..so I grew up in fear and this myth still exist even update in my country...
I am an aspiring actress and I love your videos because even though I'm not trying to start up my own business or be a billionaire per se, I'm evidently trying to succeed in my work. The content you share helps me immensely. I'm marketing a brand which is in fact myself, reading books about the industry I desire to work in, and fields with similar qualities, I'm learning from you how to persevere to make a dream a reality, and your work ethic is honestly inspiring to me. Thank you Tai!
Hey Tai thanks for all the help, before i started watching your videos i lived in a very small room with a friend who was very pessimist, I showed him your video back then and he didn't believe any of it. I guess now we can see financially who rose from simply hearing someone out.
Great video, Tai, your insight is always appreciated. Because of you and your 67 Step program, I've seen the necessity of continuous focus on increasing my worth a damn, thank you.
Thanks Tai, I always like to share your videos with my friends, also thanks for showing your private house, it is inspiring to see what can be achieved!
My origin story: That hard work will bring you success. I believe in hard work but it isn't nearly enough. My dad works harder than anyone I know and he still doesn't have any money at 47 years old.
my dads friend has his own business, a used car business. He started with nothing. he now makes more than $400k a year and his business make more than $1M and i've been to his house it a huge mansion sitting on 20 acres of land, he paid it cash, the man is ballin' because he made smart investments. He never went to college he was dirt poor 15 years ago. he's now like 45 yrs and now he's made enough money to retire but he's still working hard.
Making moves Tai! Thanks for all of the motivational videos and content that you put out. I'm in the United States Navy and I still make time to pursue my entrepreneur lifestyle. Doing work in web design, graphic design, video production and photography. I'm also creating my own business as we speak! If people can't find time to do the thing they want to do they need to change their mindset because if I can find time with being in the military then they should have EVEN more free time than me. It's all about health, wealth, love and happiness! Thanks Tai keep em coming. See you at the top soon.
Honestly Tai, I'm glad you are doing what you are doing. Months ago I watched one of your videos. shorty after I started seeing many people "mocking" "making fun of your videos" wasn't sure why but was really curious. then I noticed most were people that were happy with themselfs. and in a way seemed like they wished they could drive a lambo, or have a bookshelf full of books. maybe even be able to read a book a day... I quickly stopped worrying about them and started focusing on myself. I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and I honestly wish there were more people like you sharing these so called "tips" on how to become a better version of oneself with personal experience and self knowledge. I hope one day I can do the same and hopefully make an impact in the lives of others. I'm 18 years old and still working on myself, trying to figure out my strengths & weaknesses. My wants out of life. My necessities to become the best I can be.. I want Health , Wealth, Love, & Happiness. That's my main priority at the moment. I don't want to only live 20% percent of my life doing what I love and the other 80% hating it. those numbers aren't right in my opinion. I'm probably getting of topic if there even was one but honestly I have to say it felt good letting this off my chest, not sure if you'll read it or not but if you do Thanks for taking the time to do so (: I appreciate it. I promised myself two things , : 1- One day I'd make it 2- I'd do my best to give back to my community & try to impact the world in a positive way "Not Every Needs To be a Billionaire or Even a Millionaire , but EVERYONE Can Have Enough to live comfortably" I changed the words up a little bit but you get the idea. Keep the Videos coming I really enjoy watching them even when they are only 5 minutes long. Have a Goodnight Everyone!
every night I watch your videos thinking how can I better myself and my family. I'm in a weird situation and glad I have someone who inspires me. thank you man
Hey Tai I like your videos a lot. Epically the one you talk about dropping out of school. I am in school and am ready to go full on with my startup and will not be attending school next semester. It's so frustrating to be put into the school system when you know you can do more and be more, I've always had that drive to accomplish my goals and dream big, as I'm getting older I'm realizing those goals aren't really dreams anymore but real goals that are achievable. Thanks Tai for all your videos, I love your thinking and love your videos, keep making them! Alibaba has a new competitor on the horizon!
I noticed myself not wanting to watch Tai's videos because they put me on edge. I'm reminded of proper mindsets and a good frequency of thoughts when I watch him. I think I'll start watching them from now on instead of ignoring them in my feed.
One example I like of thinking against the tide is regarding the opinion that it takes money to make money. While the essence of that statement tends to be true, what most don't realize is that it doesn't have to be YOUR money. I've tried explaining the idea of outside investors to an entrepreneurial friend of mine, but they refuse to even try. You just can't help some people who insist on following their learned helplessness. Thanks for spreading your insightful messages Tai.
Thanks for the video Tai. I often enjoy listening to these while I am doing work, whether for school or other things. I know in some videos you talk about what books you're reading and such. Just thought it would be cool if maybe once a month you make a video or mention what your favorite book of the month was. Outside of school I have been reading a lot and I really enjoy the book list you have on your website. Thanks for all the resources, it is much appreciated.
Thank you for this. As I was looking through UA-cam I was curious and wanted to search "what it is actually like to be rich?" And this video came up and after watching others I watch yours also and I was searching this to actually find out the day to day ups and downs because I'm sure just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they are happy 365 days out of the year or 24/7. I have a dream of becoming a music artist one day my family is not in to my interest they feel it is a waste of time and I should go to school and get an education. I am currently 19 years old and I decided becoming an artist was passion at 17. I even read a book on how the music industry works. I do not have my one studio because I lost my laptop due to motherboard failure but I still use what I have to my advantage. I even came up with an idea to post my poetry to UA-cam on a weekly basis. The main reason I have done all this research for my passion is because I knew at a young age I loved to write...
I am a highschool dropout that no one will take seriously but I have the most advanced transparent solar panels that can compete with commercial solar panels.
+Jared Costa Got a site or something that talks of how better they are % wise? I am of course interested in the details but by no means am I asking for them, just curious how much more effective your panels are from lets say the panels that are sold by Musk's company or other mainstream ones. Let me know, might want to get in touch in a few months when a project I'm a part of kicks off. (I'm dropping out myself in 2 weeks)
I'm just 13 but your videos are pretty insperational. It's giving me good thoughts so when I grow older, I'll hopefully be successful. Thx for making these videos Tai.
I've always grown up not listening to most people who try to put me down and I try really hard to achieve what I want, but lately it just seems like its gotten much harder. I recently got a job so I've gotten money to do things, but now I have no time to actually get anything else going that I wanted. I'm sure if I could move into my own place it may be more achievable, but with the cost of living and how little I make, I don't feel I'll get anywhere anytime soon. With each of your videos though, it makes me want stuff more and more though. Keep up the motivational speaking.
I'm subscribing I saw a advertisement with u and your cars I'm going threw a lot of your vids and see wat I can do with my life!! And u give good information
Tai you're a beast . been following you over a yr now and no one would listen when i talked about you and your ideas. now everyone says i was right and they love you . keep doin it big bro !
Great video, very insightful! Loved how you stated that unhappy people will be unhappy regardless of socioeconomic status. True statement that many fail to realize. money won't change that, your habits and state of mind will.
Just subscribed and watched a lots of videos of you and MOST of your ideas are helpful.Thanks Tai I got to tell my girls about this. By the way nice casa you deserved to be where your at,God bless you and have a good night. :)
First thing first, thanks Tai! For sharing your knowledge. This guy at work keeps blabbering about all kinds of stuff and doesn't back it up with no type of source. Basically is his own opinions. But if he was like you that quoted books or revealed his sources then he could be some one at least worth listening to. Thanks again Tai, your short videos/blogs are great motivation because they tend to boost my morale and also remind me that I can also live a comfortable life like you. It keeps me running as a learning machine.
The world is one big illusion. Thoughts do not exist except in your memory of past events and future events created by your perspective. It is because of you Tai, that I am in love with myself!! My library has grown and I have found some enlightenment and truth to what I call my reality. Thanks for being alive! Keep the videos coming, I usually tune in when I'm taking a break from being creative =)
Felix Dennis certainly was a character! Ive heard from other successful business mentors (via London Real!) that "conventional wisdom is almost always wrong". Its a bad habit to think conventionally. But, those exceptional people who think the other way are out there doing it and often hard to connect with. Social media has changed that, and i think thats why having a mentor/dream team is the way. Hire people smarter than you. Give people the freedom to excel. Set them up for success by being unconventional (as in "Work Rules") But hey, don't waste too much time reading my comment - im still in the "masses" category! Keep experimenting. Conventional value produces conventional wealth, exceptional value produces.... nice pad there by the way Tai. Very nice. Lovin the art!
You seem like the most genuine guy, I don't feel like your videos are scripted, you give off a different type of energy such positive energy and speak truth, thanks for your time tai
Tai you have changed my entire perspective on things with just a few of your wonderful videos! You are truly doing an amazing thing here.. I've been through some serious medical issues and life trials over the past few years and honestly your speeches get the fuse to the dynamite of life lit once again! Amazing home btw, I wouldn't dive off into that pond though.
hello Mr Lopez, I started from nothing and now I'm going somewhere. your principles are primarily why I got to where I am. I intend and want to help others that couldn't help me when I needed it because of economical and social reasons and I feel that with your help I could reach that goal
Love your videos and live webinar can't believe you do them for free I'm learning so much from you. My dream is to have you mention my name in one of your talks on how great I'm doing in England. Thanks man
Hi Tai, great video. I from South Africa. I have watched most of your video and they are very motivational. I must say that I agree with you on this topic. Without money you can't live a good live, money is not evil, but the shortage of the lack of income is evil. You appreciate money way more once you been in a position where you are unable to pay your own bill at the end of the month. Money makes the world go round is a true saying. The most unhappiest people I know is because of their money shortages. I left a large position in the corporate industry to start my own business in Oct 2014. Trust me it was not easy and it is still not easy. If your mindset in not in the right place you will find it hard to achieve your targets and to progress in your business or even to try and make money. Mindset and the ability to swim upstream is the key to achieving anything in your life. This year has been the hardest time of my life, I am constantly learning and constantly trying to survive each month. I have no business plan of any sort, but I try to focus on achieve small victories every day. following a business plan is a waste of time. You can not follow everything according the book. Your environment is changing every single day. If you have a small business your main focus should be to improve everything that will make you money at the end of the day, the rest if not a priority.
I'm 18, supposed to be going to college in a year and I'm stuck on if I should take graphic design (it's the only thing I have some experience with and somewhat good at) but at the same time I feel like it's not my passion, though I feel like I'm going to have to make it my passion because I don't know anything else I would want to do with my life. It's just so confusing and frustrating it's like I'm stuck in quick sand and can't move...
+Brandon M im in the same position as you. i studied Elektricity. im on my last year in highschool now. and i dont see myself doing this sh*t later. im just so confused. i dont know what my passion is or what i want to do. f*ck man.. i'm so clueless...
Thanks Thai for sharing your knowledge :) I watched your 4 hour blueprint encore VIP video yesterday and its amazing how much I learned in such short time.
This guy is the reason y I'm not afraid anymore back when I saw that video of him and his Lamborghini my whole life has changed I'm only 16 years old and I'm not going to collage I was confused in life I always asked my self y is education so important when only a few make it out of collage with a job....thank u so much this guy is my mentor
I love your videos man! You have so many it's hard to try and catch up. I kept seeing your ads on here and they interested me. I was hooked instantly lol. Keep spreading the knowledge!
Always producing top notch content Tai. I’ve followed your stuff since I the time I first got your 67 steps. All the dialogue and commentary is thought provoking and inspiring. But back to your video! The koi fish in the pond is a very nice touch man man. I would say an origin story that I’m always surrounded by is how people are always getting drunk. My spiritual faith doesn’t allow me to drink but being in college( I would drop out to be an entrepreneur but not feasible at the moment) I always see people always drinking, spending all their money on alcohol, forgetting their night then hangover in the morning. Everyone moves in this direction and not to rail against alcohol because in moderation I’m sure its not an issue for people. I’m just saying that you would be more clear headed, healthier and have a better outlook if people did feel as if they had to go in that social direction. I recently watched a video by James Swansick who shared his story about how leaving alcohol enhanced every facet of his life. I don’t want to keep rambling on but my point is that like you said its not always good to follow the masses unless you are learning from them to be better. Keep up the amazing work Tai. You are truly a marketing and social media giant!!!
I got one!! GOING TO COLLEGE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I'm a 17 year old musician and was about to spend 200k on this school for music that I probably won't get a lot out of because I'm already self taught and multi talented on several instruments. All my teachers and friends tell me I'm crazy and stupid and unwise for my decision but I know that's just not my way to go. So now I'm going to hollywood for a music school and going to pursue my path as a musician thanks to my single mom.. Life is too short to follow the crowd. Do what you want kids... Loved the video Tai we should have tea one day while I play sax for you, lol
Not sure if I'm too late to comment, but I'm 31 years old. I had a stroke at the age of 27. The entire right side of my body was paralyzed. The doctors basically gave me a few days to live. I went through a few years of rehab and still am working towards my recovery. I am working now though and have an idea for a business that I want to start in a few months. I just want to say that life isn't over until it's over. Great talk Tai !!
My teenage mentee and employee told me about You Tai...Thanks for your videos and inspiration. The story about the fireman amazing. I am an individual who has invested in myself with school education and investment education it seems like I keep hitting the brick walls constantly. You never know who you are going to inspire. Hope to hear from you soon Lamar "Relentless" Smith
I like the way you think Tai I been following you on fb, ig and 67 steps love your videos and little by little I know I will accomplish my goals because of the knowledge that you have provided me with.
Tai I just want to say you are my hero, because me and you share a lot in common. We came from nothing to success; and we read books. Knowledge is power power is knowledge.
On, December 14, 2017, I was in a potentially fatal head-on collision. I have recovered physically very rapidly some might say from my injuries. There is a common origin myth that when someone gets knocked down it automatically means they will not get back up for quite some time. It isn't the first time I've taken a hit in life, but it was a time people paid attention to. In my experience, it is most often the times no one sees that we are utterly alone and helpless, that are the most Earth shattering hits we take. Physical wounds aren't nearly as deep as the psychological ones, a friend of mine during my BA in Psych days once told me. She was right. It's most often the scarring that can't be seen that's fatal. It's the brain lesion related to a long-standing TBI that ends up being more serious than a concussion or contusion that spontaneously heals; but since societal norms focus attention on what is easily seen, we may as a society, overlook the foundations of life for the sake of normacy.. I choose to be like a phoenix instead. Cheers.
Hey I'm 14 and I just started watching your channel a week ago and you've given me hope that one day I can be successful. My parents aren't that well off, (nearly $400,000 dollars in debt) as my dad is the only one working, supporting 3 kids and a wife. All I want to say is that one day I hope I could be successful and maybe get into the NHL :) great job on your vids by the way and thanks for helping me soooo much!!!
Damn Tai, what a journey it has been. I subscribed to your channel after buying the 67 steps when you had less than 20K followers. Since then my entire mindset has changed when it comes to pursuing success. I've received SO much value from the 67 steps and the lessons that you have put into it. You deserve all the success you have received so far! I'm really looking forward to future content to keep me on the narrow road.
Awesome. Don't give up
+Tai Lopez Tai, I really don't see a need to purchase your 67 steps program when you offer so much life changing free content on your social media sites.
+Madara2010X trust me man the 67 steps will be the best 67 dollars you ever spent 😃
+Madara2010X when you are in need of more insights, buy what this guy has. It's worth every penny!
+Madara2010X if you don't need to purchase that 67 steps you don't have to take it, if you already have life changes keep it up, Tai do that because he know that maybe people who are smart don't have idea how to get started because of their life issues, so that is a way to pull those people up and make them see how far they can go, he don need the money of all of his followers, what he are proud of is the knowledge and life changes that they get, and i can be sure of it because i am a proof, i get better in english hearing him, the free talks and stuff, i notice that, and my life is changing, that doesn't mean that i'm never gonna take his 67 steps, while i keep the momentum i'll be on my way to get his 67 steps, so don't judge if you don't understand the real point of this
Tai, your on point man!!! I love your stuff! I met you in person last month at the movies and am currently in your money and entrepreneur accelerator and the value of those two combine is worth more than my whole college degree. So much practical, unique, and valuable knowledge I will forever be indebt to you! You spark the seed in me to think bigger and take new paths! It's a blessing to have run into your material, keep up the great work and thank you!!! I will keep your team posted when I have gone through the entire accelerator :)
Yeah nice meeting you the other month
+Tai Lopez Accelerator > USC education and cost less than one summer course!
+Kevin Calenzani Do you like it better than the 67 steps program?
+Chase C Yes way better. The 67 steps mentor is good but the Accelerator is great. Gives you practical knowledge on money and business you can apply to your everyday!
+airlopez21 From my understanding you have to schedule a time for them to call you so they can figure out which program is right for you. Give his team a call or shoot them an email and they should be able to help very easily :) best of luck !!!
Hey, Tai, I'm 14 years old and from a modest family, I am not obsessed with becoming rich but obsessed more with making a change or creating something new. I don't know what I want to do career wise yet but your videos have taught me lessons to apply to everyday life. Thanks!
Tai, you're so inspirational. I'm 13, very young, and I also wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have a single mother, we move around alot, we've had to live in shelters several times in the past. And to know that someone as wealthy and happy as you were, in some way, in my position inspires me. You give such great information and advice that I can use for the future to change my present. And you're just so wise and inspirational. You do a great job in guiding people in the right direction. Thank you so much, I love all of your content.
Swimming against my dad and his way of thinking has been one of the hardest hurdles. He has been a terrible influence for me in a lot of areas and I just feel blessed to have escaped that environment and mindset. It has taken a lot of hard work and strength to get to where I am now. His ways of thinking about money will have him and anyone who listens to him broke and unhappy for the rest of their life. Thank you for all your help Tai! Making my way through the 67 steps, on step 38 tomorrow. I am now at the place where I can stand firm against him in a calm kind way standing in wisdom. Thank you for all you help Tai.
He taught me to think I had to go to college to make money. He also thought paying bills late is a normal thing, and having a bank account in the negative is normal for him. In wasn't until a couple years ago I broke free from that way of thinking.
+Tyler Buck Awesome to hear! Sorry to hear about your situation. So many children have been influenced in terrible ways by their parents, not just their opinion on money. I hope I as a teacher can help as many children (and parents!) as I can. Stay strong!
+Tyler Buck Bro not just my dad, but my mom have poor mindset lol i feel you though
House tour tai!! Thanks for the great video.
+Zeron! Nonsense. House tours are great and fun to see. Burglers get shot. Problem was we did not see enough of the house. Lets get the whole tour. Much better presentation than the lame lamborghini one, this one had warmth.
+Zeron! A burglar who could get into his house (I'm assuming he has some kind of security system) is likely competent enough to figure out the layout anyway.
+Heir derp of course he has a security system he is a billion dollar man
A myth I have always believed is that wealth comes simply from great ideas. Anytime I see an awesome new product I ask myself, why didn't I think of that? And I hear people say that all the time. So for a period in my life I made my number one goal all about thinking of the next big idea. I was essentially chasing a mirage because I did not have enough knowledge to take a great idea and make it a reality. A great idea is just that, a great idea. Turning that idea into a reality takes skill and knowledge which I have always overlooked. This is the viewpoint portrayed by the media.
The real deal. Tai has lived a full and practical life. He is a great man with a big heart!
it's not money that's the root of evil, it's the love of money (greed) that corrupts- and u explained it perfectly
When I first saw your ad I was always told how greedy and stuff Tai was so I always ignored his ad. But one day I went against what everyone said and watched his videos... I feel just watching them inspired me is much and I've improved so much just from watching a couple of hours of his vids. If I was too stubborn to see his ad, not sure what I would be like now... Thanks Tai, hope you see this
Tai, without a doubt your my mentor. I pause you to have conversations with you like I'm there. I watch 3 of your videos everyday and it inspires me to better person overall. I never had a father figure and now that im 25, i search for knowledge about life from a man's perspective. Your encouraged me to read one book per day which is hard when you are in the military working all day long but i still put forth the effort to train my mind. I appreciate you taking the time out to discuss these important facts about life.
If you don't want to get criticised, thats fine. Just say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
+Console Settings Never truer words we're spoken.
Daniel Negreanu?
And then you'll be criticised for not doing anything.
Tai, great blog.
I am a new subscriber since a month ago. I came across your info ad when you talked about how reading many books led you to your success. How having a Lamborghini isn't the "WHY" you were able to reach your goals, but taking more pride in your library of books you have in your garage. As an entrepreneur in direct sales I am very inspired by you, & continue to watch all your videos. I have had success in business a few years back.. After a devastating storm in NYC (Sandy) & losing my business I have been trying very hard to get back in my feet. Maybe I lost my motivation, the desire, perseverance, drive to find my strength in striving for my goals, but I have found a mentor in you & I just want to thank you for inspiring, motivating me.
JR
Thank you Tai for all your amazing advice! I am an 18 year old from SJ, CA, and I'm straight out of high school. I graduated with no goals.. no dreams.. I started watching your Lamborghini ads and started to look into all your videos and webinars. I've gotten into reading, and I used all the knowledge I acquired at my part time job at Lids (hat store). A lady came in one day. She acknowledged my customer service and took my number, because she believes I have what it takes to work over at her company, making 2-3k a month! Now, I have that to look forward to. It's a job over at Transamerica in Milpitas. Not only will I be making big bucks, but now I'll have mentors.. Sharing all my knowledge with clients.. Investing.. Becoming an entrepreneur.. A real chance to grow all thanks to you and your advice. (: Thank you so much Tai! - Michael Millett
I relate to this guy on the computer screen more than most friends and family currently surrounding me. He is vocalizing what I think about all the time! Thanks Tai!
The funny thing about "stuff" is that so many people don't realize how much more valuable your thoughts are than the stuff you give away.
Powerful though mixed with wise counsel and defiitive action will grant us more "stuff" than we can count.
Thanks for always focusing on upgrading our grey matter with said wise counsel, brother.
These post are saving my life right now!
Recently I was laid off from my job of six years and I was in a shock not knowing what to do. Then I started watching your videos and realized that this is my perfect chance to make something of myself! I don't have to devote my energies to make others "rich". I can do it as long as I stay focused and believe no matter how hard it appears to be! Thank you for these videos I truly appreciate them!
Everything I've learned from this guy has been absolute. I'm alway at the live talks and encore sessions to grab things i might have missed and all of the knowledge I've gained motivates me to improve my VRIN score. I've always wanted to join the 67 steps but South African currency makes it difficult o accumulate enough money and support my family. But I continue to push forward by finding ways to settle college debt first by looking for a job. These videos motivate me and remind me that knowledge is power and Intelligence is putting what you know into action. You are my virtual mentor. Thank you
For this reason I got rid of my old friendships. They are people who are too comfortable and don't want to do anything to progress in life. They also didn't believe in me going for my dreams even though they said they were my friends and will be there for me no matter what. To keep hearing to people with the same mentality about the things you mentioned, there comes a point where you have to know your self worth and not listen to any of that and just do you. Tai, you're amazing! Keep it up.
Just found your channel through a Tedtalk add and Im so glad I found you! All these ideas I had in my head about success connect with your philosophies. Im trying to complete my first musical album and was losing direction on how to stay motivated when things are against me. Thank you so much for this! Its really something someone like you doesn't have to do at all and it's wonderful to see someone whose truly interested in helping those who will listen
Your so inspiring. I'm only 14 and I have wanted to have a company since I was 9. I am currently 14 I saw your two hour long video that you out am ad out for a while ago when it first came out. It inspired me I watched all 2 hours of it. I was mind blown on how you went from living on a trailer on a couch to working for free with someone for him mentoring you then moving on and meeting more mentors and doing successful things. It shows you can do anything if you try. Recently I decided to stop sitting down and thinking about my dreams and goals and make them happen. I asked my 22 year old brother who is going to college and majoring in business and education at CSUN if he wanted to start a company. He said yes and I was ecstatic. We both had dreams and I wanted him to be my business partner. I want to do something in life while I'm alive leave a impact in history for doing something great for helping others achieve their goals in life.
Awesome upstairs. Thanks for the mini -tour of your house. Bought and listened to all 67 Steps but I need to listen to them again and work on the material and ideas. Living in Edmonton, Canada. Love your stuff, especially the Lamborghini lessons!
Hell yea.... Found what I've been praying for! Tai, you are now my new mentor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Love that you're tackling this tricky taboo topic Tai.
I recently read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and whilst I didn't agree with some of it, my takeaway from the whole thing is that everything is a mindset. Becoming wealthy doesn't have to be a corrupt path and it can allow you to benefit others not just yourself. Changing that mindset from "I want to become wealthy so I can get everything I want and be happy" to "I want to become fulfilled and happy and content with my life and help others become content with theirs" is an important transition.
I, like you, have always been taught that money is bad, money is the root of all evil and this is I believe is a complete myth that we're told to keep us within our socio economic group. You aren't automatically a bad person because you seek wealth. You're a bad person because you haven't sought enlightenment and to look for the happy things in life.
Oh and the get rich quick stuff. It doesn't work. We need to debunk that myth too. You get wealthy by putting in hard and sustained effort in a lot of different areas. No one owes you a thing - we must always remember that.
Looking forward to the next pep talk.
After reading some of the posts, I'd like to say I enjoy listening to Tai and feel he has a lot to offer. I watch several of his pod casts daily. He, in my opinion is a straight shooter and a success as well. I see no flaws in his method, just people who seem to want it given to them, I don't mind working to become successful and Tai has given me that chance to do so by his presentations. Thanks Tai. Down on my luck in Tennessee, but that will not stop me. Keep up the good work.
Hey Tai, I was just listening to this looking at the cover of my new copy of Disrupt Yourself (freshly arrived after listening to your interview with Jay Samit yesterday) - swimming against the tide! Your interview with him was truly extraordinary - I think virtually every sentence was worth the cost of the programme, never mind the whole interview! I continue to be amazed at the value you give away - I'm currently going through several programmes and am constantly inspired. Definitely mind and vision expanding!
Thanks Tai, people are afraid of leaving their security blanket in a comfortable job that they hate. It doesn't make any easier when the majority of people who didn't have the guts to leave their own security blanket, are constantly giving the potential entrepreneur negative feed back. The naysayers continue to magnify every possible obstacle! Therefor Your encouragement is so valuable! I really enjoy all encouraging videos so valuable to the new kids on the block. thank You so much for the ongoing knowledge.
I think an origin story many people grow up with is that you have to come from money to have any chance to be successful in life. It is an extremely discouraging mindset that I used to have. I used to think that rich kids have all the opportunities and their path to success is laid out for them and that since I don't come from a wealthy family I can never make it. However, your videos are extremely encouraging and you add to the MANY success stories of people that didn't come from much. It just shows me that it's possible to make your own destiny with hard work and dedication. Thank you for your words of wisdom!
Hey Tai i normally don't post comments but i have seen a few of your videos and i have to say man Your words really opened my eyes to improving my self one thing you said was "The more you learn the more you earn" Its hard i didn't finish high school i been working since i was 16 and thing never seem to work out. But now im 27 and started going back to school to get my diploma i been thinking of becoming my own boss and starting a clothing line and some other things. Thanks for you videos you post sometimes you just need someone who is successful to give you advice but i seems i dont have any of those people around me I think thats why i like your stuff and some other thing like podcast etc.
Thanks Again
Dominico
Hi tai, I'm 20 and this year hasn't been to great and I've noticed that I've somewhat lost my drive a little bit to succeed and excel in life, and I started watching your videos about less than a month ago and somehow they have kind of brought me out of a fog so I can better focus on my future and where I want to be and I feel that fire and drive for success coming back to me. So I just want to say thank you for that, and I will continue to watch your videos and improve on myself. 😊👌🏼💯🙌🏼
Thanks for the balanced info. Perfect timing for me to discover you. Really got my gears turning. I'm a fella who started a small shop (Ascendent Instruments) building historical/modern instruments & tube amplifiers currently grinding it out & am in the planning stage of growing my biz. Thanks again, Tony
I really had to learn this growing up in the success corridor. while in the dark of success I had to understand not to listen to the masses. including your parents, friends and associates. A lot of these people don't have what you want. yes Tai is right you can listen to people for there is wisdom in the wind but that doesn't mean it'll blow you in the right direction. I had to listen to my own circulation. My own inner being because without doing that I get clogged in the bull of everybody else shit. it's my time to listen to myself DESPITE my current circumstances. circumstances don't determine the validity of your inner voice. thx Tai for being a great leader.
I've just started coming to your channel for inspiration but already loving it. I think one of my most negative self-talk has been something like not all avenues were open to me and that I needed to be "reasonable" in my career choices. What I've also started to realize is that there was no maliciousness to passing that belief on... it was THEIRS as well. You can't pass on what you don't know and you can't give better than what you have.
ps..I love your koi pond! :)
Tai, I just turned 19 years old and i've never been so moved. You, as well as others like you, have changed my life and my perspective to be what i was meant to be. My goal is to read a book a week, and yes, i will be joining your accelerated program in the near future! Maybe one day I can have the honor to meet you. I've watched almost all of your free stuff and I feel like that alone is enough to change my life forever (for the better!). So thanks Tai, i will be seeing you.
I remember watching your first video of you in the garage with your new Lamborghini. At first I thought what all the others did, that you're just some get rich quick scam. As I continued watching your video and then going to your channel you inspired me. I'm a junior in high school and being a "pro procrastinator" and not exactly sure what I want to pursue in life, I find your videos and overall message extremely helpful. I defiantly have the talent and persistence to be successful not only money wise(like you say "materialistic things"), but also in knowledge. I take your advice and use it everyday to the extent I can, and already see an improvement in my quality of life. Thank you Tai for sharing what you've learned!
Tai, you are a true inspiration. You back all of your claims with proof and evidence. Nothing makes one listen like driving a Lamborghini with Miss Kentucky in the shotgun seat!! I also like how you use quotes from the books you read . Your wisdom and knowledge is FAR beyond your years. I have learned more from your you tube videos than from ALL of the people that I have ever known in my life combined. Ever since the first time I watched you on you tube, I find myself reading more and wanting to learn more. Keep the videos and wisdom coming!!
Man I just started watching your channel here on UA-cam thru one of my friends who also listens to you. Dude you give very good advice and are good to listen to . You recommend great books etc. thanks
Intelligent people are great to be around. And so are inspiring people. You seem to have both qualities and even though I don't agree with everything you say, I find myself clicking on your videos more often than some of the other channels I subscribe to because I can really appreciate someone with such a rare combination.
Hey Tai, I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate what you're doing for people. I personally just started watching your videos. I'd seen the video of you in your garage showcasing how many books you have, but I didn't take the time out of my day to actually dive deep. I'm 22 at the moment, and I've reached a point in my life that has me tired. Tired of being where I am. Tired of where I am in life in general. I've lived 22 years already, and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm not in college, I work as a waiter at a restaurant, and I still live with previous legal guardians. All I have going for me is the fact that I'm saving money to start college again. I recently found your UA-cam channel again while looking for ways to improve myself. The first thing I saw when I went to your channel was "How to Make Friends and Influence People". That absolutely blew my mind. I actually own that book, but I was never determined enough myself to read it. I've always felt like I've been doing something wrong when it comes to improving myself. It just helps to see that a successful man such as yourself went through what I'm going through. It helps me see that I absolutely do have a chance. From this point on I will continue to watch your videos, increase my knowledge through all means, and work hard to prosper in life. To get where I want to get. So, once again Tai, thank you so much. I truly appreciate this. It gives me hope.
What's crazy is that not even a day after I dropped out of college I stumbled upon these videos. While it has been only about two weeks since I actually dropped out, these videos are keeping me motivated towards my goals.
I have watched a lot of your videos over the course of about 7 months and these really help me to get things done with school etc as like encouragement so thanks for the great vlogs.
Tai, I started watching your videos just a couple days ago and let me tell you its life changing, I have my own business at 19 here in NYC (started March) and its been a tough road but your speech about having a mentor really hit me, Its people like you who I believe are blessings from the universe, if you're ever in NYC and want a good cup of coffee don't hesitate to hit me up, I am forever grateful for your knowledge.
Big fan Tai, I love all your advice! I'm 16 years old and currently have 2 companies, and i am starting up a 3rd right now! you taught me how to find the drive and desire to read and learn everyday and how to overcome obstacles and how to steamroll someone r something if they get in your way from reaching your destiny
Hey Tai, I'm sixteen living in the UK, so I can't really see your talks at the moment, but I keep up with them all through your channel etc, always trying to work out ways to apply your knowledge to my life early on at my age to help me on ahead, really appreciate you sharing your wisdom, knowledge is valuable and you share it at no expense , I'm studying hard, keep me going!
Tai, I love your videos man they bring a lot of new perspectives to light for the world to grab ahold of. Not a lot of people do what you do and I hope to see many more videos. I love to meet you someday and be able to talk and learn from you in person. Thanks for these videos it means a lot tai!
I'm barely passing high school and everyone tells me I'm going no where in life, but what I believe is that school and the entire education system is set for people to become the middle class working force, it's almost like everyone is made to be robots. I agree that to become successful (to me middle class is not successful it's just getting by for a common family). and enjoy your life a lot more is to break away from the normal system. I want to be more than just average, I want to be the best and prove everyone wrong who puts me down about my life. To sum it up, I want to learn how to become successful, not how to be average.
Thank you tai, I have been watching your videos and following you on Instagram. You have helped me out a lot, the things you say for motivation and books that you put out. Thank you
Seeing those paintings in the background, here is my origin story: artists should be poor, suffering for their art, and those who are good businessmen can only be frauds. Though historically incorrect (look at Rembrandt) it's still the number one myth in the art business, and people's number one conversation starter by far.
Thanks for the great vids Tai!
You are a Wiseman Tai and your talks are encouraging, giving hope and I believe that I can make it in life ever since I started listening to you..i grew up in a society where being rich is regarded as being connected to some evil powers and making sacrifices to the evil creatures that generates wealth...so I knew that if you see a man rich you should stay away from him and that's what our parents told us as kids and warned us to stay away and runaway each time we see the rich man, the thing was we may not get lucky and fall victims and get sacrificed ..so I grew up in fear and this myth still exist even update in my country...
I am an aspiring actress and I love your videos because even though I'm not trying to start up my own business or be a billionaire per se, I'm evidently trying to succeed in my work. The content you share helps me immensely. I'm marketing a brand which is in fact myself, reading books about the industry I desire to work in, and fields with similar qualities, I'm learning from you how to persevere to make a dream a reality, and your work ethic is honestly inspiring to me. Thank you Tai!
Hey Tai thanks for all the help, before i started watching your videos i lived in a very small room with a friend who was very pessimist, I showed him your video back then and he didn't believe any of it. I guess now we can see financially who rose from simply hearing someone out.
Great video, Tai, your insight is always appreciated. Because of you and your 67 Step program, I've seen the necessity of continuous focus on increasing my worth a damn, thank you.
Thanks Tai, I always like to share your videos with my friends, also thanks for showing your private house, it is inspiring to see what can be achieved!
My origin story: That hard work will bring you success. I believe in hard work but it isn't nearly enough. My dad works harder than anyone I know and he still doesn't have any money at 47 years old.
It depends on what he's working hard in.
+Rob Afoa and luckiest
The problem is sometimes we work too hard for someone else. Also most people don't save nearly enough.
+ProjectSuperSport the harder you work, the luckier you get...
my dads friend has his own business, a used car business. He started with nothing. he now makes more than $400k a year and his business make more than $1M and i've been to his house it a huge mansion sitting on 20 acres of land, he paid it cash, the man is ballin' because he made smart investments. He never went to college he was dirt poor 15 years ago. he's now like 45 yrs and now he's made enough money to retire but he's still working hard.
Making moves Tai!
Thanks for all of the motivational videos and content that you put out. I'm in the United States Navy and I still make time to pursue my entrepreneur lifestyle. Doing work in web design, graphic design, video production and photography. I'm also creating my own business as we speak! If people can't find time to do the thing they want to do they need to change their mindset because if I can find time with being in the military then they should have EVEN more free time than me.
It's all about health, wealth, love and happiness!
Thanks Tai keep em coming. See you at the top soon.
Honestly Tai, I'm glad you are doing what you are doing.
Months ago I watched one of your videos. shorty after I started seeing many people "mocking" "making fun of your videos" wasn't sure why but was really curious.
then I noticed most were people that were happy with themselfs. and in a way seemed like they wished they could drive a lambo, or have a bookshelf full of books. maybe even be able to read a book a day... I quickly stopped worrying about them and started focusing on myself.
I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and I honestly wish there were more people like you sharing these so called "tips" on how to become a better version of oneself with personal experience and self knowledge. I hope one day I can do the same and hopefully make an impact in the lives of others. I'm 18 years old and still working on myself, trying to figure out my strengths & weaknesses. My wants out of life. My necessities to become the best I can be.. I want Health , Wealth, Love, & Happiness. That's my main priority at the moment.
I don't want to only live 20% percent of my life doing what I love and the other 80% hating it. those numbers aren't right in my opinion.
I'm probably getting of topic if there even was one but honestly I have to say it felt good letting this off my chest, not sure if you'll read it or not but if you do Thanks for taking the time to do so (: I appreciate it. I promised myself two things , :
1- One day I'd make it
2- I'd do my best to give back to my community & try to impact the world in a positive way
"Not Every Needs To be a Billionaire or Even a Millionaire , but EVERYONE Can Have Enough to live comfortably"
I changed the words up a little bit but you get the idea.
Keep the Videos coming I really enjoy watching them even when they are only 5 minutes long.
Have a Goodnight Everyone!
every night I watch your videos thinking how can I better myself and my family. I'm in a weird situation and glad I have someone who inspires me. thank you man
Hey Tai I like your videos a lot. Epically the one you talk about dropping out of school. I am in school and am ready to go full on with my startup and will not be attending school next semester. It's so frustrating to be put into the school system when you know you can do more and be more, I've always had that drive to accomplish my goals and dream big, as I'm getting older I'm realizing those goals aren't really dreams anymore but real goals that are achievable. Thanks Tai for all your videos, I love your thinking and love your videos, keep making them! Alibaba has a new competitor on the horizon!
Powerful words , becoming rich and wealthy is the key to happiness , providing for your family and giving your loved ones a life they deserve !
I noticed myself not wanting to watch Tai's videos because they put me on edge. I'm reminded of proper mindsets and a good frequency of thoughts when I watch him. I think I'll start watching them from now on instead of ignoring them in my feed.
Never get rid of this video....I saved it under my "Success" tab :D
One example I like of thinking against the tide is regarding the opinion that it takes money to make money. While the essence of that statement tends to be true, what most don't realize is that it doesn't have to be YOUR money. I've tried explaining the idea of outside investors to an entrepreneurial friend of mine, but they refuse to even try. You just can't help some people who insist on following their learned helplessness. Thanks for spreading your insightful messages Tai.
Thanks for the video Tai. I often enjoy listening to these while I am doing work, whether for school or other things. I know in some videos you talk about what books you're reading and such. Just thought it would be cool if maybe once a month you make a video or mention what your favorite book of the month was. Outside of school I have been reading a lot and I really enjoy the book list you have on your website. Thanks for all the resources, it is much appreciated.
Thank you for this. As I was looking through UA-cam I was curious and wanted to search "what it is actually like to be rich?" And this video came up and after watching others I watch yours also and I was searching this to actually find out the day to day ups and downs because I'm sure just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they are happy 365 days out of the year or 24/7. I have a dream of becoming a music artist one day my family is not in to my interest they feel it is a waste of time and I should go to school and get an education. I am currently 19 years old and I decided becoming an artist was passion at 17. I even read a book on how the music industry works. I do not have my one studio because I lost my laptop due to motherboard failure but I still use what I have to my advantage. I even came up with an idea to post my poetry to UA-cam on a weekly basis. The main reason I have done all this research for my passion is because I knew at a young age I loved to write...
Saw your video on an ad before a UA-cam video. Love your stuff going to watch podcast
I am a highschool dropout that no one will take seriously but I have the most advanced transparent solar panels that can compete with commercial solar panels.
+Jared Costa protect your idea then get it out there! Green energy is huge!
+Jared Costa Doesn't matter that you're a highschool drop out. I am as well. Prove those people wrong by being successful!
seriously? I want to know more
+Jared Costa Got a site or something that talks of how better they are % wise?
I am of course interested in the details but by no means am I asking for them, just curious how much more effective your panels are from lets say the panels that are sold by Musk's company or other mainstream ones.
Let me know, might want to get in touch in a few months when a project I'm a part of kicks off.
(I'm dropping out myself in 2 weeks)
+Grizhlie email me I'd love to talk more jaredlcosta97@gmail
Thank you tai
great channel you have here
realy makes a difference
I'm just 13 but your videos are pretty insperational. It's giving me good thoughts so when I grow older, I'll hopefully be successful. Thx for making these videos Tai.
I've always grown up not listening to most people who try to put me down and I try really hard to achieve what I want, but lately it just seems like its gotten much harder. I recently got a job so I've gotten money to do things, but now I have no time to actually get anything else going that I wanted. I'm sure if I could move into my own place it may be more achievable, but with the cost of living and how little I make, I don't feel I'll get anywhere anytime soon. With each of your videos though, it makes me want stuff more and more though. Keep up the motivational speaking.
I'm subscribing I saw a advertisement with u and your cars I'm going threw a lot of your vids and see wat I can do with my life!! And u give good information
Tai you're a beast . been following you over a yr now and no one would listen when i talked about you and your ideas. now everyone says i was right and they love you .
keep doin it big bro !
Thank you for your help, please don't stop making your videos they're very helpful in many ways tai
Great video, very insightful! Loved how you stated that unhappy people will be unhappy regardless of socioeconomic status. True statement that many fail to realize. money won't change that, your habits and state of mind will.
Just subscribed and watched a lots of videos of you and MOST of your ideas are helpful.Thanks Tai I got to tell my girls about this. By the way nice casa you deserved to be where your at,God bless you and have a good night. :)
First thing first, thanks Tai! For sharing your knowledge. This guy at work keeps blabbering about all kinds of stuff and doesn't back it up with no type of source. Basically is his own opinions. But if he was like you that quoted books or revealed his sources then he could be some one at least worth listening to. Thanks again Tai, your short videos/blogs are great motivation because they tend to boost my morale and also remind me that I can also live a comfortable life like you. It keeps me running as a learning machine.
The world is one big illusion. Thoughts do not exist except in your memory of past events and future events created by your perspective. It is because of you Tai, that I am in love with myself!! My library has grown and I have found some enlightenment and truth to what I call my reality. Thanks for being alive! Keep the videos coming, I usually tune in when I'm taking a break from being creative =)
I like this little videos. They're short, have good points, and just easier to understand because you're just talking to the camera
Felix Dennis certainly was a character! Ive heard from other successful business mentors (via London Real!) that "conventional wisdom is almost always wrong". Its a bad habit to think conventionally. But, those exceptional people who think the other way are out there doing it and often hard to connect with. Social media has changed that, and i think thats why having a mentor/dream team is the way. Hire people smarter than you. Give people the freedom to excel. Set them up for success by being unconventional (as in "Work Rules") But hey, don't waste too much time reading my comment - im still in the "masses" category! Keep experimenting. Conventional value produces conventional wealth, exceptional value produces.... nice pad there by the way Tai. Very nice. Lovin the art!
You seem like the most genuine guy, I don't feel like your videos are scripted, you give off a different type of energy such positive energy and speak truth, thanks for your time tai
Tai you have changed my entire perspective on things with just a few of your wonderful videos! You are truly doing an amazing thing here.. I've been through some serious medical issues and life trials over the past few years and honestly your speeches get the fuse to the dynamite of life lit once again! Amazing home btw, I wouldn't dive off into that pond though.
hello Mr Lopez,
I started from nothing and now I'm going somewhere. your principles are primarily why I got to where I am. I intend and want to help others that couldn't help me when I needed it because of economical and social reasons and I feel that with your help I could reach that goal
Best comment right here: "No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care" great quote.
Love your videos and live webinar can't believe you do them for free I'm learning so much from you. My dream is to have you mention my name in one of your talks on how great I'm doing in England. Thanks man
Hi Tai, great video. I from South Africa. I have watched most of your video and they are very motivational. I must say that I agree with you on this topic. Without money you can't live a good live, money is not evil, but the shortage of the lack of income is evil. You appreciate money way more once you been in a position where you are unable to pay your own bill at the end of the month. Money makes the world go round is a true saying. The most unhappiest people I know is because of their money shortages. I left a large position in the corporate industry to start my own business in Oct 2014. Trust me it was not easy and it is still not easy. If your mindset in not in the right place you will find it hard to achieve your targets and to progress in your business or even to try and make money. Mindset and the ability to swim upstream is the key to achieving anything in your life. This year has been the hardest time of my life, I am constantly learning and constantly trying to survive each month. I have no business plan of any sort, but I try to focus on achieve small victories every day. following a business plan is a waste of time. You can not follow everything according the book. Your environment is changing every single day. If you have a small business your main focus should be to improve everything that will make you money at the end of the day, the rest if not a priority.
I'm 18, supposed to be going to college in a year and I'm stuck on if I should take graphic design (it's the only thing I have some experience with and somewhat good at) but at the same time I feel like it's not my passion, though I feel like I'm going to have to make it my passion because I don't know anything else I would want to do with my life. It's just so confusing and frustrating it's like I'm stuck in quick sand and can't move...
bryce e thank you for the insight, I will take that all into consideration.
+Brandon M im in the same position as you. i studied Elektricity. im on my last year in highschool now. and i dont see myself doing this sh*t later. im just so confused. i dont know what my passion is or what i want to do.
f*ck man.. i'm so clueless...
can pinar I know its hard :/ but taking peoples opinions can help...
Micheal120 okay. My email is: b.y_15@hotmail.com
+Micheal120 mine is watiskacity2@hotmail.com
Thanks Thai for sharing your knowledge :) I watched your 4 hour blueprint encore VIP video yesterday and its amazing how much I learned in such short time.
This guy is the reason y I'm not afraid anymore back when I saw that video of him and his Lamborghini my whole life has changed I'm only 16 years old and I'm not going to collage I was confused in life I always asked my self y is education so important when only a few make it out of collage with a job....thank u so much this guy is my mentor
I love your videos man! You have so many it's hard to try and catch up. I kept seeing your ads on here and they interested me. I was hooked instantly lol. Keep spreading the knowledge!
Thank you for your honesty. You are really making a difference
Quotes and references were great. Yes, start doing more blog videos like these. 💠💠💠
Always producing top notch content Tai. I’ve followed your stuff since I the time I first got your 67 steps. All the dialogue and commentary is thought provoking and inspiring. But back to your video! The koi fish in the pond is a very nice touch man man. I would say an origin story that I’m always surrounded by is how people are always getting drunk. My spiritual faith doesn’t allow me to drink but being in college( I would drop out to be an entrepreneur but not feasible at the moment) I always see people always drinking, spending all their money on alcohol, forgetting their night then hangover in the morning. Everyone moves in this direction and not to rail against alcohol because in moderation I’m sure its not an issue for people. I’m just saying that you would be more clear headed, healthier and have a better outlook if people did feel as if they had to go in that social direction. I recently watched a video by James Swansick who shared his story about how leaving alcohol enhanced every facet of his life. I don’t want to keep rambling on but my point is that like you said its not always good to follow the masses unless you are learning from them to be better. Keep up the amazing work Tai. You are truly a marketing and social media giant!!!
I got one!! GOING TO COLLEGE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I'm a 17 year old musician and was about to spend 200k on this school for music that I probably won't get a lot out of because I'm already self taught and multi talented on several instruments. All my teachers and friends tell me I'm crazy and stupid and unwise for my decision but I know that's just not my way to go. So now I'm going to hollywood for a music school and going to pursue my path as a musician thanks to my single mom.. Life is too short to follow the crowd. Do what you want kids... Loved the video Tai we should have tea one day while I play sax for you, lol
Not sure if I'm too late to comment, but I'm 31 years old. I had a stroke at the age of 27. The entire right side of my body was paralyzed. The doctors basically gave me a few days to live. I went through a few years of rehab and still am working towards my recovery. I am working now though and have an idea for a business that I want to start in a few months. I just want to say that life isn't over until it's over. Great talk Tai !!
My teenage mentee and employee told me about You Tai...Thanks for your videos and inspiration. The story about the fireman amazing. I am an individual who has invested in myself with school education and investment education it seems like I keep hitting the brick walls constantly. You never know who you are going to inspire. Hope to hear from you soon Lamar "Relentless" Smith
Tai, your choice of paintings are legit. Beautiful house
I like the way you think Tai I been following you on fb, ig and 67 steps love your videos and little by little I know I will accomplish my goals because of the knowledge that you have provided me with.
Tai I just want to say you are my hero, because me and you share a lot in common. We came from nothing to success; and we read books. Knowledge is power power is knowledge.
On, December 14, 2017, I was in a potentially fatal head-on collision. I have recovered physically very rapidly some might say from my injuries. There is a common origin myth that when someone gets knocked down it automatically means they will not get back up for quite some time. It isn't the first time I've taken a hit in life, but it was a time people paid attention to. In my experience, it is most often the times no one sees that we are utterly alone and helpless, that are the most Earth shattering hits we take. Physical wounds aren't nearly as deep as the psychological ones, a friend of mine during my BA in Psych days once told me. She was right. It's most often the scarring that can't be seen that's fatal. It's the brain lesion related to a long-standing TBI that ends up being more serious than a concussion or contusion that spontaneously heals; but since societal norms focus attention on what is easily seen, we may as a society, overlook the foundations of life for the sake of normacy.. I choose to be like a phoenix instead. Cheers.
Alway great Tai!! I have the drive but I can't figure out what it is that I'm suppose be doing. Any books you reccoment to help me with this. Thanks!!
Hey I'm 14 and I just started watching your channel a week ago and you've given me hope that one day I can be successful. My parents aren't that well off, (nearly $400,000 dollars in debt) as my dad is the only one working, supporting 3 kids and a wife. All I want to say is that one day I hope I could be successful and maybe get into the NHL :) great job on your vids by the way and thanks for helping me soooo much!!!
the key to success is to work hard simultaneously work smart and to stay consistent
