A teacher told me this same thing. I think you definitely need to work hard to get where you want to be, but you need to be smart. You can’t just go out there working hard without being smart.
Tai isn't necessarily stating that you shouldn't work hard at all, of course everyone needs to work hard at some point in time. What he is implying is to work smarter when you have the chance. By doing that you'll be able to cut some corners and save yourself time and energy while still getting ahead.
Thinking is HARD WORK thats why so few people do it. -Henry Ford. My father always taught me to work hard, although he would always mention to me that its not hard work that counts for it can only take you so far. Thus he would mention Echale Ganas al estudio, all in all he meant, work hard but work smarter. Use Leverage, use the different rule of money to your advantage. Its an unfair advantage in some regards but the industrial Age has passed, the information age is now, use the tools such as internet to communicate and connect. Use Knowledge of others to Leverage yourself where you want to get to.
"If I could go back in time, 100%, I would've told myself to be lazier." "Hard work is VERY un-correlated with wealth." This is profound stuff that flies IN THE FACE of conventional wisdom. Husle, Grind, #teamnosleep.... I really enjoy this tangent you're pursuing with hard vs. smart work. It's excellent. People NEED this. Entrepreneurs NEED this. It reminds me of Kiyosaki's ESBI Cash Flow Quadrant. The E's, (Employed), the S's (Self-Employed), and the B's (Business Owners) tend to never know how to get off of hamster wheel. You said it; the TOP 10 (it's 8, but eh... details) richest men are worth more than HALF the population combined. Incredible. The reason ...? They're at the top of the quadrant. INVESTORS. This category is where the magic is; where the money's made. It's where the leverage from SMART and not HARD work comes in. You can bet, most in the grouping of those 3.5 billion people work much harder than those top 8 do. Incredible stuff Tai; your ways of communicating value succinctly abound. Evan
Evan Teague Right, great, so become an investor? What stocks are you supposed to pick?- That's the difficult bit, just becoming an investor is easy. Where are you going to get the money from too? It's obviously not as easy as that.
Love the idea of this. I've applied this to fitness and it makes it so rewarding and effortless. I just walk and track my calories. Simple, yet effective. The hardest part in anything I feel is staying consistent.
Love this Tai. My mentality has always been like this, even though I love working hard because I'm an athlete. My parents tell me I have to change this mindset, that it won't get me anywhere. It fuels me to keep going and be successful. Thank you
When you have the resources and make right decisions at the right time, you are half way done and hard work keeps you up on the top, I don’t believe rich people who do nothing and get a better future! Works can be defined in many ways, physically or mentally!
"Im not pointing any fingers but SOME millionares brush there teeth" - Tai Lopez love your content brotha.. you are a major contribution to my achievements!
Great message. I've never met a CEO who said "damn I wish I spent more time at the office". It's so hard to explain this to the young dudes though. I try, but they don't want to hear it; neither did I really. I was always told to enjoy the journey, you'll miss it some day, but I didn't listen either. It's too bad. What they really don't realize is that they're only actually productive for 2 hours out of 14-17
I have a month left for the exam to university. I always struggles to study hard. Your words STOPPED me. working hard makes me less guilty, but I will never get the score I want. Big words tai thanks a lot.
as a very humble person, i didn't like his attitudes at first times. but damn! everything he says is true and perfectly rational and logical! except at sometimes being cocky, he is good 👍
on the road to working smarter. There is definitely a time and a place to work hard but eventually the goal is to work smart. That's in everything you do.
Tai's new business concept - work less so you could read 2 books a day. And IT WAS Pizarro who went to the Incas. Cortez was the one who did the Aztec.
Depends on their financial position Tai, Mark Cuban says the only thing you can control in life is effort, sweat equity = results. If everyone had buffets time and capital to read annual reports all day long, they would. if not, you gotta hustle!
You make a very good point. It is so common to hear "work hard" instead of "work smart". In my experience, I really try to combine work hard/smart by putting in hours but also investing in courses/book/etc, trying to take smart action, etc. What do you guys do to work smarter?
What I concluded from this idea was that don't work hard 'physically' but rather work hard with your 'mind' which is smart work. For example Tai gave example of Warren Buffet, he works hard (in Tai's terms smarter) but not physically but by rather mentally e.g. his voracious reading habits.
I think you will get maximum benefits by alternating both working hard and smart. Just like we have 4 seasons a year I think there are seasons in life that call for working hard and some that call for working smart. Just doing one of either wont get you very far (imo). Tai, reflect back to the times when you did work hard and think how that work you did is beneficial to what you do now. I think you will see it all ties in together! I always think of the movie Karate Kid when Daniel was learning seemingly mundane and repetitive tasks that he felt was useless to learning Karate. Then one day he flipped out and Mr. Miyagi told him "paint the fence" motions etc and he saw how the repetition of those tasks trained him indirectly.
remember this video when you start talking about lifting weights which you often talk about the amount of time doesn't correspond directly to effective results
If you work 100 hours a week, you have just multiplied your chances of succes times 4, compared to a 25 hour work week. Elon Musk said that. Still work smart though..
I understand tai, the concept of working smarter makes sense. What are some examples of working smarter and using tools? How exactly do I work smarter?
ok this is sooooo true !! Im an example so heres my story, im a chef and i was about to work all year (11 months)one job but i tought to myself.... wtf should i work for 11 MONTHS and not work 16 hours(2 jobs) a day for 6 MONTHS. sooo i recived the same yearly income in half the time ! now im cHillaxing for 5 months till next summer but im living life these 5 months. Working smarter not harder
In order to work smart, you have to put in the hard work before you make an investment, business, and life choices. If you just think smart without any work to your decision in anything in life you are just gambling opportunity. Instead of taking full advantage of the opportunity. "Working Smart + No hardwork = Gambling opertunity ",,,,, "Working Smart+ Working Hard = Using Full Opertunity "
I agree that working smarter is better then working harder but working hard is still very valuable. Beucause if you work hard and smart in a half day you will make x amount of money but if you work the double time you will make twice as much money.So do both!
Tai, I'm understanding your analogies but some real life examples of entrepreneur tools would be great. I have a passion for sales and skill, 15 years old and uneducated but motivated. Hope you read!
all Indians are not working like that😕😕 if you search about Indian history from time immemorial to now , you will get better opinions.😃 what we have given to whole world can not be neglected.
Tai, I beg to differ on your- 'work smarter, not harder' theory... You have been blessed or have mastered a critical skill, that I believe is key to anyone's financial success; a type of manipulating people. Of course, the way you go about it is in a positive way [you have traits of, honor, humbleness, and genuine concern for humanity]. I loved your example, of the garbage sorters in India: The person whom these poor individuals are working for, is using a [negative] type of people manipulation, to accumulate success. That being said, does at least one of these ten million garbage slaves realize that he or she could sort through the valuables for themselves, and capitalize completely as an individual business entity...??? I mean, you are so good at public speaking, that you don't even need to be historically accurate (names, dates, places), when giving examples from history about technology, and tools; because of how good you are at conveying a point through example, getting the message a across..
a counter argument to this is that all people are trying to maximize profits with given resources available. If technology is available to everyone then the people who leverage that good the most will come out on top, therefore the ones who work smarter and harder will surely come out on top? if everyone is seeking competitive advantage and technology is a constant in that all modern people have it, then competitive advantage must come from another input, and that input could be the other variable input which is time. i don't believe this nessesarily but it could be an argument against this theory.
Speaking of working smarter .. you read my post with my spine rehab link. In our society we fail our top athletes. We deem stretching on a board on the wall dangerous and weird channeling pressure out and refuse to study it... yet we promote deadly surgeries where we cut open people's spines and put screws and metal hardware .. especially for scoliosis .. which I solved!! It's this .. don't fix it naturally yourself .. pay others to do it and do it wrong. Tai.. these guys train there whole lives to be pro and love the dream .. yet they retire early with chronic pain the rest of there lives. This is the world 🌎 and it takes real guys like me to not follow the herd and stand up for the truth!💪🏽
Trust.. look at basic common sense stuff that was deemed wrong in the past.. even smoking was ok for pregnant women. And this was when we had space travel .. but you can see ignorance all around even in our technological evolved society.
Yah I basically saved your life. Let's say down the road you get back spasms like I did. You lift big ass tires. That compresses your discs. It's a cumulative wear that builds up over time because spine is s shock absorber but it wears down. I'm curious to see the long term effects. Already my vision is improved my five senses. I guess it's the piece of mind that no matter what I can fix any tendinitis. Again with pro athletes they often manage a chronic back pain using every method but mine and they get to a point where it's surgery or nothing. Prevention is key. If you work on those stretches daily and stay healthy your discs will not deteriorate to that extreme level. It's a blessing. I figured it out on my own just trying out stretches out of pure desperation
I mean, I could take you up on that challenge Tai, and debate you on it. I just need to provide the documented statistical correlation between work hours and wealth, at least within the first world. I think you meant to say that it isn't a *perfect* correlation and that lots of other things matter too. (Unless if he makes a relevant disclaimer later in the video)
Youre right and i agree with you but some people wich are wealthier than you say you should work hard like kim woo chong in his book always says work harder than others what about that ?
" Francisco Pizarro González was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition that conquered the Inca Empire. He captured and killed Incan emperor Atahualpa... " That's how 30 beat " 100K ".

A teacher told me this same thing. I think you definitely need to work hard to get where you want to be, but you need to be smart. You can’t just go out there working hard without being smart.
if you work hard, you are not working smart.
Tai is a legend bruh...thats knowledge right there
he read the quote straight from his smartphone lmao
+universeClips Were you listening to the video? That's the whole point, to use tools to your advantage. You sound negative pal.
Tai isn't necessarily stating that you shouldn't work hard at all, of course everyone needs to work hard at some point in time. What he is implying is to work smarter when you have the chance. By doing that you'll be able to cut some corners and save yourself time and energy while still getting ahead.
I'm literally going crazy figuring out different ways I can utilize technology to make me money👌

I agree.
Thanks Tai. As long as most people work hard their whole lives, us business people have nothing to worry about. People won't change. I love it!
"If I could go back in time, 100%, I would've told myself to be lazier."
"Hard work is VERY un-correlated with wealth."
This is profound stuff that flies IN THE FACE of conventional wisdom.

I really enjoy this tangent you're pursuing with hard vs. smart work. It's excellent. People NEED this. Entrepreneurs NEED this.
It reminds me of Kiyosaki's ESBI Cash Flow Quadrant.
The E's, (Employed), the S's (Self-Employed), and the B's (Business Owners) tend to never know how to get off of hamster wheel.
You said it; the TOP 10 (it's 8, but eh... details) richest men are worth more than HALF the population combined.
Incredible. The reason ...?
They're at the top of the quadrant. INVESTORS.
This category is where the magic is; where the money's made.
It's where the leverage from SMART and not HARD work comes in.
You can bet, most in the grouping of those 3.5 billion people work much harder than those top 8 do.
Incredible stuff Tai; your ways of communicating value succinctly abound.

Evan Teague Right, great, so become an investor? What stocks are you supposed to pick?- That's the difficult bit, just becoming an investor is easy. Where are you going to get the money from too? It's obviously not as easy as that.

Working hard is very uncorrelated with wealth and success. I love that! Thank you for another intriguing video!

Loving these insightful videos Thanks Tai!
I havent watch you in a while but you look in shape tai, good for you man.
In your SMMA course loving the info. Can't wait until I'm part of your 300.
This is the kind of stuff that they should be teaching in school.
I subscribed. You're videos have taught me a lot. Trying to get back on my feet and you're videos are helping a ton.
the last phrase kill it with style excellent popcast👏👏
Tai you are the one of clever guys I've ever listen .
Alright Tai. I am going to take this journey. Love your experience and knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

Tai i wana thank you for being a role model and if i become a billionaire or millionaire i will always say u are the reason why iam here today
Preach to em tai this is great and nice kicks bro
awesome video Tai, as usual. Keep up the good work.
as a very humble person, i didn't like his attitudes at first times. but damn! everything he says is true and perfectly rational and logical! except at sometimes being cocky, he is good 👍
Great video! Keep up the good work.
YOOOOOOO! I SAW THIS ON ADDS, I like your vids brother.
on the road to working smarter. There is definitely a time and a place to work hard but eventually the goal is to work smart. That's in everything you do.
Good point. I would have worded it differently, but still a good point.
Tai's new business concept - work less so you could read 2 books a day. And IT WAS Pizarro who went to the Incas. Cortez was the one who did the Aztec.
Another one of Tai's great free videos

this is so insightful!
Can't wait the day I'm gonna buy a house next to Tai's.. :D
The Amazing Show dont get your hopes up. He only rents it 2 days of the year
Well he makes a hell of a lot of videos in those two days :D
lol..
Tai with the golden advice
You make a very good point. It is so common to hear "work hard" instead of "work smart". In my experience, I really try to combine work hard/smart by putting in hours but also investing in courses/book/etc, trying to take smart action, etc. What do you guys do to work smarter?

I Agree absolutely right
In this generation I believe that we should introduce the term, Smart-Hard work.
Nice reminder
remember this video when you start talking about lifting weights which you often talk about
the amount of time doesn't correspond directly to effective results
Everyone is born a sucker, it's up to you stay being one, or figure out a way to break apart from the rest.
If you work 100 hours a week, you have just multiplied your chances of succes times 4, compared to a 25 hour work week. Elon Musk said that. Still work smart though..
I understand tai, the concept of working smarter makes sense. What are some examples of working smarter and using tools? How exactly do I work smarter?
This is highly accurate
working smarter is key 👌👌
I love listening to the he makes move out of myself
Great video
Awesome! Makes sense. But doesn't really fit with the 67 steps principles on hard work.
ok this is sooooo true !! Im an example so heres my story, im a chef and i was about to work all year (11 months)one job but i tought to myself.... wtf should i work for 11 MONTHS and not work 16 hours(2 jobs) a day for 6 MONTHS. sooo i recived the same yearly income in half the time ! now im cHillaxing for 5 months till next summer but im living life these 5 months.

hi ur a really inspireing person

that sneeze at the beginning tho....
I agree that working smarter is better then working harder but working hard is still very valuable.
Beucause if you work hard and smart in a half day you will make x amount of money but if you work the double time you will make twice as much money.So do both!
flappyhok flappyhok or, you can use your valuable time to think of great ideas to make more money.
so true Tai
yeah, no argument against that!
Efficiency is key
Tai, I'm understanding your analogies but some real life examples of entrepreneur tools would be great. I have a passion for sales and skill, 15 years old and uneducated but motivated. Hope you read!
Tai. you still need to work hard on social media. it's a synthesis of working hard and smart.
can you explain working smarter against working harder? surely you have to work hard too ?
all Indians are not working like that😕😕 if you search about Indian history from time immemorial to now , you will get better opinions.😃
what we have given to whole world can not be neglected.
So true!!!
Cool Tai
I love this
Love the vids keep it up.
Oh and #LeafyVsTai

What u r saying is %100 true yet doesnt change anything

Whether you like Tai Lopez or not, he's definitely the #1 salesman that ever did it on the internet.
you gave us the WHY.... but now can you give us the HOW?
well said tai 👏👏
Genius! Tai genius!
So working smarter is better to get wealth but what if you are doing something like trying to run a faster mile or trying to lift 50Lbs more
thanks a lot
a counter argument to this is that all people are trying to maximize profits with given resources available. If technology is available to everyone then the people who leverage that good the most will come out on top, therefore the ones who work smarter and harder will surely come out on top? if everyone is seeking competitive advantage and technology is a constant in that all modern people have it, then competitive advantage must come from another input, and that input could be the other variable input which is time. i don't believe this nessesarily but it could be an argument against this theory.

I wish tai would buy one from me 😔

I think you meant to say that it isn't a *perfect* correlation and that lots of other things matter too. (Unless if he makes a relevant disclaimer later in the video)
You say work smarter instead of harder but how does one work smarter instead working harder?
So how exactly do explain trait conscientiousness being the highest predicter for wealth?
Just for the record, It was Francisco Pizarro who conquered the Incas
Work long and smart
Hello good Morning sukses selalu
Good advice tbh
Youre right and i agree with you but some people wich are wealthier than you say you should work hard like kim woo chong in his book always says work harder than others what about that ?
#LeafyVsTai
Leafy wins ez he already answered Tais (ROAST) xD
+M_O_3113 It is clear Tai wins, but you guys can think anything you want.
Life WHAT is it. REALLY.
I'm working really hard to work smarter so that I won't need to work harder anymore. Did I get it right?
A little question I have would you have to work hard and read to educate yourself to be able to work smart, or would you not count learning as work
a smart worker is a hard worker😉
You keep saying working smarter is better but you don't say how to work smarter, like what does that mean?
Good saying but would've been easier to understand if he put it in a couple more examples ;((
" Francisco Pizarro González was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition that conquered the Inca Empire. He captured and killed Incan emperor Atahualpa... " That's how 30 beat " 100K ".
