Tai Lopez - WiFi And A Dream
Tai Lopez is an investor, partner, or advisor to over 20 multi-million dollar businesses. Through his popular book club and podcasts Tai shares advice on how to achieve health, wealth, love, and happiness with 1.4 million people in 40 countries.
How would your life be different if Bill Gates was your business mentor, Warren Buffett was your investment advisor, and the Dalai Lama was your therapist?
Finding mentors is one of the biggest predictors of your success.
As Picasso said, âGood artists copy, great artists steal.â
Tai Lopez, investor and Mensa member, shares why he reads one new book a day:
âBooks allow you to simulate the future (without having to actually do all the trial and error yourself)...â
At age 16, Tai realized that life was too complex to figure out on his own.
So Tai wrote a letter to the wisest person he knew, his grandfather - a scientist - and asked for the answers to lifeâs hard questions.
Tai was disappointed with his grandfatherâs reply. There was no âsecret formula.â The letter simply said, "Tai, the modern world is too complicated. Youâll never find all the answers from just one person. If youâre lucky, youâll find a handful of people throughout your life who will point the way."
But one week later his grandfather sent a package containing an old, dusty set of eleven books with a note, "Start by reading these."
That began Taiâs habit of reading on his search for what he calls the "Good Lifeâ: the balance of the four major pillars of life - health, wealth, love, and happiness.
Over the years, Tai sought out the secrets to that âGood Lifeâ by setting up his life as a series of experiments. He began by first reading thousands of books from the most impactful figures in history Freud, Aristotle, Gandhi, Charlie Munger, Sam Walton, Descartes, Darwin, Confucius, and countless others.
He spent two-and-a-half years living with the Amish, spent time working at a leper colony in India, and helped Joel Salatin pioneer grass-fed, sustainable agriculture on Polyface Farms.
He then joined the long list of entrepreneur college dropouts and ended up completely broke (sleeping on his momâs couch) until he talked five, multi-millionaire entrepreneurs into mentoring him.
Tai went on to become a Certified Financial Planner and worked in the world of finance before becoming a founder, investor, advisor, or mentor to more than 20 multi-million dollar businesses while settling in the Hollywood Hills.
He appeared on various TV and radio shows, spoke at top global universities like The London Business School and the University of Southern California, and created one of the top downloaded podcasts and YouTube channels,
âThe Grand Theory of Everything.â
In order to get feedback from an even larger audience, Tai started what is now one of the worldâs largest book clubs that reaches 1.4 million people in 40 countries with his "Book-Of-The-Day" free email newsletter.
Tai recently summarized all he has learned from his mentors and compiled them into a series of âmentor shortcutsâ he calls, "The 67 Steps."
He also created an alternative to the traditional business school. This "Business Mentorship" program combines the best of self-learning with the best of a University degree without all the downsides of burdensome costs and inefficient methods.
