Tai ?

I'm not a big fan of him but I can't speak against what he's saying. He's living proof of it too.

Yeah, I agree with his point too, but the guy just is soo shady to me.

Reading a book a day seems like an awful lot of time spent on action faking.

Since most business books only have 1 main idea and ramble on about it for hundreds of pages, I'm thinking about buying a subscription to a book summary service and reading 1 summary a day. Then maybe read the full book if I feel the idea from the book can add value to my business.

http://www.getabstract.com/en/

They offer PDFs and even condensed podcasts and claim you can learn about the main ideas of a book in 10minutes.

Anybody have experience with those summaries or have recommendations?

That guy again

Ha ha! I was thinking the same thing. I got bored listening to him the last time.

Any life long learner can read a book a day. And how long is the book. lol It could be short-reads on Amazon. Ha ha! I find it fascinating he's getting so much attention for reading books, when there are tons of people that read tons of books in a year.

You miss out on alot when reading summaries. I once read a summary of the millionaire fastlane , it didn't even mention CENTS which is a core thing in the book. You might think you're saving time but summaries are even more action faking in a way since all knowledge you get will be very surface level and almost impossible to apply to your life. An author who speaks of one or two concepts in an entire book if he's legit has real life experience to back it up so the principals dig alot deeper for him. He also know the ins and outs of these things which will be very hard for you to apply these to the same effect as him if at all because you have no reference to push you. Hence why I think it's good to immerse yourself in a book if it's interesting which mosh books attempt to do for you. Also because the greatest idea will be very nuanced and require time and reflection.

It is a good video and he has some valid points, but he does mention, not sure if it was this video, that some books he reads over a week, and others in a day. It just depends on if the books 'Big Idea' captivated him enough to go deep.

I think we've got to read as many books as we get time to, but if it is preventing you from taking action (or you're using it for action-faking as I was in the past) then it's a hindrance rather than an advantage.

Yes, I do believe in the 'Slightest Edge' but I've also learnt the hard way that unless I actually learn and act on it almost straight away, it's not effective.

When reading books like the ones mentioned in the Gary Halbert Copywriting Challenge, Diet and Nutrition books, and some hard-core business books, we just can't do the 'book-a-day' thing. We'd miss the 'meat' of it.

Just my thoughts and experience thus far.

Two of the things that took me out of the action-faking, were The Millionaire Fastlane , and this article by Michael Masterson (Mark Ford) --> http://www.earlytorise.com/are-you-an-information-junkie/

Thought those would be useful for anyone, who like me was addicted to information rather than actually putting it to use.

100% agree.
You learn hundreds of times more doing something than you do reading about it.
Knowledge is a complete action fake if you don't use it.

It's the balance. Action and learning. Of course you don't spend 6 hours reading every day.

I dislike Tai and I'm not convinced that he's ever accomplished anything.
He's full of more hot air than the Santa Ana winds.

 

[Solrac]

Well when Tai "reads" his book a day its mainly spent on skimming the book. I don't remember the video but he doesn't spend more than an hour reading. He talks about there being extra meat on books just because they need to make the book bigger to sell? I don't know, the info he gives is good though. I just take it and apply it.

Although he does seem a bit quiet about his personal business track.

Totally agree with this... I think there is so much more to learn doing then just sitting around reading about doing.

How can he say that he reads a book everyday when he isnt reading the whole book? Like saying im running 10km a day and then u only run 5km?

 

[pds]

I have mixed feelings about Tai as well. His 67 steps does give out a lot of value, but he also drags stuff out a lot longer than they need to. I believe he owned his own nightclub in NYC, then started an online dating site and now he makes money from book sales and mentoring. I've started listening to him less because a lot of his stuff has become repetitive. However, his book list on his website is full of great recommendations. That list as well as Derek Sivers (http://sivers.org/book) are useful bookmarks. Derek Siver's list also includes his own notes/summaries which are helpful.

I don't really know much about Tai, but due to my general dislike of motivational speakers, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and bid the man adieu

You might think you're saving time but summaries are even more action faking in a way since all knowledge you get will be very surface level and almost impossible to apply to your life.

Sometimes it is not what is in the book, it's what happens when one idea fosters another. It's that quantum leap, that realisation, that eureka moment when you combine your knowledge and background with the authors ideas and interpretations on business models that can have a profound effect on your business.

Sometimes it is not even a business book, it could even be a novel. Something will strike a cord with you and you will see an untapped opportunity or a new way to spin a marketing campaign. Something that will help move you forward.

The point is you would not have made the leap from from reading a synopsis.

I agree it's difficult to find the time to read. I therefore have a subscription to Audible as I have more time to listen than read but their range could do with expanding.

 

[SEBASTlAN]

Funny how we are all a part of this forum due to reading a book thoroughly - I don't think I would've gotten much out of it if i skimmed.

Something about him screams Used Car Salesman (the dirt bag kind).. his mannerisms and body language (the way he says something and waits on reactions) just gives a shady vibe to me.

I dunno; maybe I'm spoiled by the transparency the internet world has created these days... but I prefer any videos (or companies or any brand I buy from) I watch: from an authentic and genuine voice, short and to the point, and actually valuable like really valuable. He speaks a bunch of fluff; that 18 mins could of been done in 3.

I think my 'bullshit' filter to content on the internet these days is just really high.. I'd much rather deal with people all about action/results than people talking about high level stuff all day and not getting shit done or have anything to prove for it. It's like the world just increased the type of "people who regurgitate a blog post and pass it off as like they did it before" by ten fold..

Minus points for mis-leading click bait title.. lol.

When I first joined this forum; there was no book. Only an ideology.. MJ barely had much content but a few blog posts at that point; but I was ALL IN. The book was just bonus; I was full fledged fast laner already from the people I interacted with in this forum..

Was thinking exact same thing yesterday about a book summary service, started reading this book and it was full of fluff n theory gave up after skimming thru it was so much repetition like it was just trying to fill 300 pages to be a book when the main idea could have been bullet pointed on a few pages!

this times a million. I dug and dug through the internet trying to find how he actually made hard money. I signed up for the 67 steps, coughed up the money. couldn't wait to learn what he had to say. So much disappointment. For example...Tai from one of his steps...early on as I stopped listening and the hour long fluff ra ra speeches were repetitive and putting me to sleep.

"let me find the quote on my phone.....looks...looks....AH my phone just died!" [puts phone faced down}
anyone can lie and ramble seated next to a bunch of books. shady, Awkward, track his eyes and watch his mannerisms and you can see hes fudging his facts and stretching the truth. I remember hearing him really fumble over and double back some of his stories like when he meets a famous basketball coach. he was with this person. no no it was UFC person. He was in a suit...he was in sweat pants. When I met XYZ yada yada.......how do you forget the details of meeting XYZ?!?! unless it never happen and this is all bs... Stupid, Shady, very repetitive. I have heard great speakers. I heard zig live at my tiny church. Met the guy. I have heard other speakers and great coaches. tai is none. Tai is a poser. I still have NO IDEA HOW HE MADE HIS KILLING. unless of course its getting suckers with a rented lambo to give him 67 bucks. well his membership numbers stand at 63,000. 67*63,000.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. anyway, I don't like how he takes so long to get to the meat. and no super successful entrepreneur sat around and read books all day. fact.

very fluffy, very bait and switch, very very flaky.

I tried listening to the 67 steps, but he takes over an hour to make a simple 1 minute point and often get facts wrong. He constantly name drops and never reveals how he actually made his money. I'm left with the feeling that 90% of his stories are complete B.S..

 

[davedev]

I gotta say, Tai is leveraging his personal experiences in a very unique way. A unique brand.

Able to mentor/intern at Joel Salatin's Polyface Farms (spent over 2 years with him), had an eye-opening experience in another culture through staying with the Amish for a few years, working at GE Capital for a period of time...MENSA (which to some doesn't mean much), and a slew of other certifications in addition to being an investor* and entrepreneur...

Add on top of that living in Hollywood, throwing parties and such, it's the lifestyle that is enticing to loads of people, particularly young men of the Owen Cook RSD, Art of Charm, and London Real crowd.

Throw on top of that the book a day stuff, speaking at the London Business School, the 'modern day renaissance man' image with the $30,000+ library... I guess to many, he's showing that you can live on both sides of the line, both intellectual and social.

But something feels off to me. I'm sure it's nothing but....

Why offer live calls and seminars at a curiously priced $97 when you're in possession of all of these tips and tricks of millionaires and billionaires and in addition of that; daily downloading the wisdom of the wisest minds who have ever lived into your brain? (reading* a book a day)

With that kind of intellectual advantage why not build a $500,000,000+ company, and then become a mentor? (Of course I know that isn't easy). But just imagine for a moment. You have the basketball skills of Kobe Bryant but you decide to start up some $47 dollar ebook teaching basketball instead of competing with the best in the world.

Or..

Why not share the triumphs and failures that were hard-won in the trenches of his own businesses.

From: http://innovation.london.edu/resource/218/index.html
Tai Lopez is an aspiring renaissance man. He is the author of a few books, a member of MENSA: the high IQ society, a self-made millionaire in his 20's, a Certified Financial Planner, CHFC, CLU, and most importantly a student of life with a ton of books (5000 plus at the last count). He has been an entrepreneur for 18 years and has started 12 multi-million dollar companies that are all still running successfully. Tai is addicted to traveling seeking the advice of the world's top minds.

I know it's his prerogative, he can do whatever he wants. But I'm really interested in seeing what he's actually doing.

I know he mentions a business/or businesses that he has/or is a partner in that has 1 million customers, and he has a seminar coming up that will teach you "the 10 tools to building a multi-million dollar business"

http://www.tailopez.com/flow.php?lp=FS-7128&_wid=4
"7:56 I got multiple businesses that I built from scratch millions of customers"

I for one hope that his other businesses are better than Elite Global Dating (google it). Yikes.
