Tai Lopez
If you have watched a YouTube video without AdBlock recently, then you probably know who Tai Lopez is. His video "Here In My Garage" is one of the most popular advertisements on the site, with over 66 million views. This video is a promotion for his website, TaiLopez.com, where he offers his tips and tricks to getting rich in his book "67 Steps To The Good Life" and paid seminars. Many people think that this is a huge scam and that he is just taking your money for bad advice. In fact, some people have used video evidence and house rental websites to prove that he is a fraud. These people are partially right. Tai does not provide any revolutionary information. His advice is not going to make anyone rich overnight. This does not mean that his advice is not useful.
Tai Lopez's YouTube channel is full of videos on various topics related to being successful in business and in life. Most of these videos share the same themes. The only way to get rich is to take risks. It only takes one good investment to get rich. You need to be aggressive to make it in the world of business. All of this advice is basic, and most people understand these concepts. Despite all of the repeated garbage, there are still some great pieces of information to take from Tai's channel.
Tai is a success. He is a conman, but he is a successful one. He has hundreds of thousands of subscribers to his YouTube channel (including myself), and he brings in enough revenue to rent a mansion and Lamborghini in Beverly Hills. There is a lot to learn from the way Tai acts. Everything that he does promotes himself in some way. Some of these tips he shares through his words, and some of these things he shares in his actions. If you pay careful attention to the way that he speaks and acts, you can see that he is always directing the conversation in his videos towards self-promotion. He constantly talks about his own financial successes and words of wisdom from his mentors. He does not actually share these tips; instead, he tells people to pay for his book and seminars. These mentors and investments probably are not real, but he is persuasive enough that thousands of people fall for it. He is the perfect businessman. He has learned to brand himself and promote himself in such a way that he has become successful without doing anything.
Every businessman should look at what Tai Lopez does and try to emulate him, as he is great at what he does. As a side note, he has an interesting interview with Mark Cuban. The videos that I mentioned are shown below (Warning: The second video may contain inappropriate language and imagery).
I think this shows that capitalism is a flawed system... vive la revolution something something Eugene V. Debs... Karl Marx is not as cute as Fried Rich Engels blah blah Galas.
ReplyDeleteEven with AdBlock, it is impossible not to see this guy's commercials. Now that I actually pay attention to what he says in that first commercial, I don't like how nonchalantly he says that he just bought his new lamborghini in Hollywood Hills. However, I can see how a lot of people could buy into what he says, so props to him I guess.
