Summary

The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “If you don’t know how to use tools, it’s almost impossible to keep up with the competition” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) A lot of entrepreneurs have it backwards. They think that hustle is the goal, that hard work is something to brag about and even to strive for. The truth is that hustle and hard work constitute the input, while the goal of any business is to maximize output while simultaneously minimizing input. This is the confusion that is so pervasive to the entrepreneurial community, and it is holding people back. The hardest working people in the world are, unfortunately, often also the poorest, so there is no correlation. While it is important during times and seasons to work very hard, this should never be the main goal. “Humans got ahead mainly because of their ability to use tools, not because they worked harder” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind If you don’t know how to use tools, it’s almost impossible to keep up with the competition Sadly, the hardest workers in the world often make the least money Humans got ahead mainly because of their ability to use tools, not because they worked harder Hard work is important sometimes, but it will not make up for ignoring and not learning how to use tools well The goal is to not have to work hard Hard work is a cost, not a benefit The goal is to maximize output with as little input as possible  Learn more about your ad choices.
