Summary

“You will always offend people with whatever you do, so don’t worry too much about it” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) This message is a hard hitting reminder that, while we all make mistakes, it’s extremely important that you always put out work that is the highest quality of which you are capable. After doing something, if you can honestly say it was the best you could have done, nobody can fault you. But if you did not pursue the work in a conscientious way, with an understanding of the consequences to yourself or whoever you work for, you have no excuse. This is a piece of internal communication with my team, as well as a lesson for everyone who wants to accomplish big things in this world: Everyone likes to make excuses for why they didn’t do as good a job as they wanted, but pure results are the real measure of what has been done. Hold yourself to this high standard, and you will go far. “It’s extremely important to be able to say and admit to yourself that you messed up” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind You will always offend people with whatever you do, so don’t worry too much about it Instead of immediately making a judgement call about something, good or bad, right or wrong, try to see what you can learn from it first Learn from everything instead of making an immediate value judgement about it Put yourself in someone else’s shoes to better understand what’s really going on The best way to deal with humans is to always start out nice with people, and then treat them back the way that they treat you You can tell when something is being dealt with in a consciousness way, or when it was not It’s extremely important to be able to say and admit to yourself that you messed up Learn more about your ad choices.

Okay, welcome to today's podcast, talk, radio, whatever you want to call it.

This is something a little different, so I use WhatsApp in my company a lot to communicate.

0:10.6

I think email is very outdated. I don't like it very much. I send about one email a week,

0:17.7

if I can help it, but I send a lot of WhatsApp. You can use voice memos. You can create groups,

0:22.3

you can create broadcast lists. I sound like I'm an evangelist for WhatsApp,

0:27.2

and I own equity, but I don't. I wish I owned a little bit of that company, sold for almost

0:32.5

$20 billion. This is a conversation that I left with a team that works with me and

0:42.9

so some of our contractors. This is basically, they did a sloppy job on something,

0:48.9

and this is my response. It's not the nicest response, but it's the most honest response.

0:55.5

Sometimes in life, those aren't the same. There's a time to say things nicely, and there's a time

1:03.8

to wake people up. That's my philosophy on life, and you'll see that. I don't think you should

1:10.8

always be mean. I don't think you should always be nice. Like Ecclesiastes says, there's a time

1:15.9

for peace, there's a time for war, there's a time to love, and there's a time to hate.

1:20.8

This is, like I said, some people get offended by this, but what I've learned is I've given

1:26.3

money to charity and have some people get offended. I've told kids to read books and business

1:34.0

men are offended. I've told people that I'm somewhat religious and people are offended. I've

1:42.2

told people I'm somewhat atheistic and some people are offended. I gave up on the offensive train

1:48.2

long ago, and now I'm just like, here's the honest truth. Listen to this and tell me if you agree,

1:56.0

disagree, or what I recommend is not always try to judge something, but see if there's a take

2:05.6

away for you. I find in this world, people succumb to one of the cognitive biases called

2:10.7

certainty biases, where people always have to come to some conclusion. You hear something that's

2:17.3

let's say you own a business or you have a job and your boss or superior talks to you this way,
