In this talk, Tai Lopez breaks down the difference between being rich vs. wealthy, why most people pick arbitrary financial goals without thinking them through, and how genetics, psychology, and business models all shape your chances of success. From using Google Sheets to build smarter business plans, to asking yourself the “$10 million dice roll” question, Tai challenges you to rethink how far you really want to push in pursuit of money, fame, and freedom.

He also dives into lessons from billionaires he’s worked with, what social clubs and memberships reveal about human psychology, and why chasing status often matters more than chasing dollars.

👉 This session was filmed in September 2024 at The Consulting Club, a mastermind event hosted by Niklas Pedde. To get access to all of the event recordings, visit: https://consultingclub.com/event-reco...
