Get more done in life. I get messages and snaps all the time from people who can't seem to shake procrastination; or just don't have enough energy to get everything that they want done. First, I ask them how is their diet. Because if you aren't eating well then you will never have enough energy. Secondly, I say it's all about having "mind over matter". You have to have drive. And sometimes you have to mind trick yourself to having more energy.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know what I found with the most successful people in the world? They're always the nicest one. But most people who object to things, can never give a real reason and they just say, "I don't like that". The world is full of people focused on the wrong thing. Focus on the right thing and change the world in your own way.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should you sacrifice the life of one innocent person if it would mean saving the life of 1000 other innocent people.We just saw the movie, Eye In The Sky with Helen Mirren, a very interesting movie.Should you kill an innocent life to save 1000 other innocent lives?What would you do?I used to think that the right choice was to kill one person to save the lives of many.But I read an interesting book about the fundamentals of the federal law system.Which was about the fundamentals of the US law. And it said you're better off to create a legal system that would not imprison 100 guilty people if that meant it will never imprison an innocent person.Meaning you can't be too hard on people in court, because it's better for a few people to go free that actually broke into someone's house than it is to have one innocent person rot in jail.So ever since I heard that argument I really can't tell you my opinion.These are killer tough questions.But the main takeaway I got from the movie is that the root of all evil, you might of heard this before, is money. But that's actually false. The root of all evil or most evil is poverty, injustice, and abuse.You need to bring income equality. From my experience, all rich countries I've visited are the most peaceful.What do you think?

It's not about what you know, it's about who you know. How good of a networker are you?In "Get Big Things Done: The Power Of Connectional Intellegence" by Erica Dhawan, it says that the benefits of learning the power of connectional intelligence is that "you'll be able to take your dream, add connections, and you'll be able to dream even bigger and get big things done."Here is some insight from what I've learned from my mentors; It's not about what you should know, it's about who you should know. You become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time around. So if you wanted to become a millionaire, make sure to get to know and hang around 5 millionaires because it's likely you will become the 6th if you do.The power of connection is so crucial to your financial future. Too often in my life I've made the mistake of trying to do things on my own and it ends up being too inefficient. Imagine being able to network with other experts in your field and collaborate towards one goal? How much faster would you achieve these goals?This book takes those same principles of networking and breaks them down into parts that you can work on to increase your ability to network in what they call "The 5 C's"1. Curiosity - Curious people attract high level people.2. Combination - Having the ability to combine different people's ideas and formulating it into your own.3. Community - You must have the ability to bring people together. 4. Courage - Build the courage in order to network with others.5. Combustion - The ability to drive and motivate others. Others should be able to feel this from you.If you don't have all of these traits, or you are very weak in one, the best way to build them up is to train consistently. You may fail in the beginning, but no one was born a natural networker: the more you train, the better you will become.Make sure to leave me a comment on what parts of networking you are good at and what parts where you need to work on.Follow me on Snapchat and connect with me at: Tailopez1Learn more about your ad choices.

At every point when you have something to sell you have two basic kinds of people who you can work with:Prospects and paying customers.Paying customers buy stuff from you.Prospects are people who are somewhat interested in your product.You must be able to convert prospects into customers to make money.If you know how to take the 7.3 billion people and turn them into prospects or a lead you are going to get a hell of a lot more people in the paying category.Remember, impatience = poverty.Most people walk up to the 7.3 billion in the world and impatiently try to get them to buy.People need to see your brand 7 times before they want to buy.Heres a simple way to get more leads:1. Ask people for their email on your website2. Be good at it. To be good it has to be mobile optimized. It has to look good. There has to be an incentive it.3. Know how to follow upOne my tricks when I used to have nightclubs was to get email addresses.When people first saw the Lamborghini ad they thought it was weird. But over time people started to watch the ad and say, "Oh, this guy is telling me to read more books."For me the better I have gotten at this, the more money I've made.My friend Anthony made this tool to get more email leads.This guy has made lots of money online.Remember I said you have to be good at asking for emails?Anthony has a webinar that you can watch to learn the 3 things to help you build more opt-ins.Remember, cynics are always broke.All the money is on the cutting edge.Make war with a multitude of councilors.I look at everything now with open eyes and I'm always willing to experiment.People are so paralyzed by inaction, so they miss opportunities.If you want to do big things don't regret a lot of stuff.You need buyers, this is key.Having a Snapchat or Instagram does not mean people will buy.It's the transition that gets them to buy.How do you get someone from Instagram into a sequence where they get to know you?To make a lot of money you have to know how to do a lot of things.This is one of those simple things you must know.For some of you this is going to be the most important decision you have ever made.For some of you it won't.But remember a mind full of conclusions has no room for expansion.I have never met someone who said, "Bro, I went broke because I invested in my own brain."Only by investing will you acquire more wealth.There are no get rich quick schemes, there are only skills.How do you build skills?Train.How do you train?Spend time with people who have done it before.You need pieces from everyone.A little from me, a little from Anthony, a little from Warren Buffet, a little from Elon Musk.This is what has worked for me.Of course you have to apply skill to it.The purpose of life is to win and bring others along with you to win.Just like my mentors took me along the ride with them I want to take you with me.Let me know if this helps you?Advertisement: Sales commissions receivedLearn more about your ad choices.

Success Rule - If you want to be Badass:1. Surround yourself only with badassesOR2. Surround yourself with people who are on their way to becoming badassesThese two only work if you follow the third rule:3. Be a badass yourself!Rank yourself on a scale from 1-10, focus on yourself and bump it up. Then rank those around you. What I do is rank my employees, if you work for me you are either already a badass, or I can see you potentially becoming a badass. I am not going to waste my time trying to work on you and improve your business skills.Ranking family is often hard, but necessary. You don't need to excommunicate anyone, you can just reduce the amount of time you spend with those who are not badass.Remember:"The quality of my life is determined by the quality of my surroundings"Learn more about your ad choices.

Obama and Rand Paul were in the news when I was headed to bed.The argument was over the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment as they relate to gun control.Earlier in the day I had been to an event at a house nearby in Bel Air where Warren Buffett and Hillary Clinton were talking - I almost got to talk to Buffett, damn-it, haha!Both sides have good arguments, but I like Charlie Munger, the billionaire business partner of Warren Buffett, and his quote:“I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don't know the other side's argument better than they do.”So I tried to argue both sides.

Everybody loves a rags-to-riches story. I brought my friend Nick Unsworth here up from San Diego. He was completely broke at 28 and was $50,000 in debt. But, Nick turned it around and at age 30 sold his first business. Sometimes when you watch the news, you see these stories where somebody broke becomes the next Bill Gates and that's all great. But it's also good to understand that you don't always have to hit a home run. You can move from first base to second to third. In fact, according to Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, it's a much safer approach.
