People Pleasing Isn't the Way to Success
“Don’t try to please everyone. Just do you” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)It feels like the level of narcissism in the world is continually increasing. Just take a look at your Instagram feed, and you will see it proudly on display. It seems like nothing is more important to people today than themselves and their looks.Maybe it’s time to take a step back and reevaluate our emphasis. Put more effort into the truly important things in life, and less into the ones that don’t matter. Put less effort into how you look, and more into what you do.At the end of the day, you can’t please everyone, so don’t worry about it. Just do you, and do good in the world.“Be willing to experiment. Don’t be close-minded” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindDon’t try to please everyone. Just do youNarcissism is everywhere. People think it’s all about themBe willing to experiment. Don’t be close-mindedYou need a small amount of narcissism to improve yourself. But it seems like it’s out of control these daysWe need to become more curious people about many thingsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, most people don’t. Most people don’t read at all, but if they do read, it’s probably either light, fluffy novels or maybe a self-help book here and there. But what about history? What can a deeper understanding of history do for your life, in helping you achieve the best life possible?Today, I’m going through some moments in history, and what can be learned from them. Because without and understanding of history, there really is no way that we can predict the future. But because history tends to repeat itself, if we develop an understanding and knowledge of history and the trends that come back time and time again, we can better understand the world around us, and make more sense of where it’s headed, as well as if current political decisions are likely to be a good idea."The reward should be emphasized in education to motivate students to learn" - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) Points to Keep In MindTo start learning history, focus first on what you enjoyHistory should be more about stories than dates and numbers to be interestingShow the reward before you teach in order to effectively learn, and want to learn!First you get the mindset, then you launch the business, then you get the money. The progression is importantUse the HEXACO personality test to more fully understand personalitiesThe C, which stands for Conscientiousness, is probably the most important attribute when it comes to making moneyConscientiousness:PerfectionismOrganizationPrudence (the ability to make good decisions)Parents are usually the worst thing for their kidsPolitics and Republican vs Democrat tends to have more to do with personality typesKnowing history, and how it repeats itself, will help you earn more money and be more successfulThe mark of an intelligent person is to see both sides of a storyStudy history so that you don’t make stupid decisionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Instead, build your self esteem around being the fastest, best learner” - Tom Bilyeu(click to tweet)Today we’re talking with the founder of Quest Bars about how he was able to build a health bar empire. Quest Bars sell 1.5 million bars per day, and today he is giving us a behind the scenes view of what it takes to do something on that scale, and just importantly, what it feels like to achieve the much success.Tom places a tremendous amount of emphasis on where your self esteem comes from. If your self esteems comes from being right, you will feel too threatened to admit when you’re wrong, and learn from it. But if your self esteem instead comes from the idea that you are an incredible learner, the best learner in any room, you will be willing to admit when you’re wrong.Just like he says, your behavior is driven by your identity. So the process of defining to yourself what your own identity is, will change your behavior, and in fact is one of the most powerful ways to change your behavior to be what you want it to be.Learn how to achieve incredible success in whatever you plan to do in life, on this episode of The Tai Lopez Show!Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

So attract what you want, but don’t too much of a chaserYou have to play the long gameWhen your marketing, there has to be a subconscious thing that vibes with what your customer thinks about themselvesYou should believe that you can learn to do literally anythingBehavior is driven by identityMake your identity what you want it to be, and your behavior must followUse mentors instead of constantly trying to reinvent the wheelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
