The Tai Lopez Show is now available on Soundcloud. Check it out here: Soundcloud.com/TaiLopezShow “What you’re selling matters far more than all the best practices, tips, and hacks about how to sell” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) We’ve been over why there is not a correlation between working hard and having more money. The idea is disproven time and time again, even though it continues to be put forward is a reputable concept. I would even put forward that, unless you’re in a flow state where time seems to slow down (and fly by at the same time) and it basically doesn’t even feel like work, even 8 hours a day is too much! If you’re consistently working 8 hours a day in a non-flow state, you need to look into how you can decrease your input (hours worked) while keeping your output (money in) the same or increasing it. We’re going over all of that, as well as the skill of hiring the right people, why it’s a fool’s errand to try to predict outcomes, and why Dan Bilzerian might just be smarter than Coca Cola... “Hiring is a talent and skill that take time to develop and practice” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Work much smarter than you work hard You need turnover in your business. If you don’t have that, it means something is wrong, people aren’t being let go who should be Hiring is a talent and skill that take time to develop and practice If you have to train your employees too much, your input is too much. Try training less and see who makes it The only time you should work more than 8 hours a day is when you’re in flow In social media, simply post and compare results constantly It’s a fool’s game to try to predict outcomes. You almost never can! What you’re selling matters far more than all the best practices, tips, and hacks about how to sell Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
