How To Be More Persuasive

[@justinbiglangawa6687]

I listen to tai while I cook, clean, etc. it definitely beats the background noise of a television. Stay persistent!

[@adrianlong1735]

I didn't finish high school. I was lost and didn't know what to do with my life... Now I've read over 100 books. I've started my own business and am on the best life journey I have ever had. By the way... I'm living with my aunt who has stage 4 cancer and I'm her full-time carer (toughest thing I have ever done - especially sacrificing my income) but Tai has taught me to think about how to create a business income from home giving me an advantage of not going to an office to work... +tailopez thank you!

[@guccirogue]

I feel smarter after this video. makes me want to pick up and read at 11:30pm. I know im smart and want to succeed but feel like i havent exercised my brain at all. I never graduated middle school nor High school. I am 29 years old and I will work extra hard to catch up and pass it on. I have a 1 year old daughter and want the best for her. I am also going to revive my dream to becoming a top tennis coach.

[@ValetClothingCo]

I just bought this book and about to read. I want to thank you Tai for making that ad that is on youtube. I was on the brink of suicide not too long ago. I created a business and after a year it became so hard for me to do alone. I was constantly reading up on how to get more customers, and searching in the wrong places. I saw the ad and started watching all of these videos. The first book I read was civilization and it's discontents. This will be my second book by the great minds of our universe. I want to deeply thank you for opening my mind up to these people, it quite honestly is the reason I am alive right now. I hope that gives a small meaning to you that you do help people in this world that were on the wrong track and gave them a hint to maybe change courses for the better.

[@xAdrianaxL]

Wow, I'm glad you're not in that state of mind anymore and you've released the crazy amount of potential we all have :)

[@ValetClothingCo]

Thank you, I recently got an investor for my company as well thanks to the knowledge I learned from him. I can't believe I'm doing what I'm doing.

[@ElefitTV]

I'm all about learning from people who've succeeded massively in life and boy when you list his resume that's exactly what I would want mines to look like. I'm going to pick this one up Tai. I just read how to win friends and & influence people, so this came at a perfect time.

[@marcoszzambrano]

you're doing a great job by spreading the way you learned things to move up in life at no cost, a lot of people would't share their "secret" and that is very humble of you dude! keep up the motivation it is really helping people out

[@XdaphnegurlX]

I wanted to find a full time job over the summer, but I stopped being persistent because I thought I was financially stable with my parents supporting me and I kept failing my interviews. Now I realized that having a job would have gained me experience and provide me with emergency income I needed in the future.

[@HoustonBernardMusic]

Still chasing music. BUt I finally found my path. Country Music. I have been watching your vids. Thanks.

[@TheIronicExistence]

I read this book because of your recommendation Tai, THANK YOU. I'll never forget this book.

[@toptierbillionaire1474]

The story about Asia, was amazing. That is something similiar to what I am dealing with right now. I want to quit my job, and get into real estate investing....Just a matter of time now....Even though this video is old, I am still coming back to learn some more new things. Thank you Tai!

[@tobiggonza]

Man, amazing insights that are so powerful to the people who take action.

[@michaelspadoni2262]

I have slowed down on my quest to run an ultra marathon. Your video is a great thought and as always provides motivation.

[@realtorresidentialycommerc2614]

I stop sometimes because I give up, but with messages like yours I get going again, Thank you for all this great videos, are great encouragements

[@sillyblondegirl35]

Good videos! My reading list has evolved cause of these book a day videos. They keep me going. I totally get flack if I ever tell anyone about how I watch these videos..so I rarely comment but here goes nothing. My biggest thing I gave up on;( 2 big things) I regret every day the choice to drop out of college, which was the beginning of my degree path. I regret giving up on riding and training horses. 15+ years of experience laying dormant. I had potential but I gave up and those regrets just eat at me. So rebuilding after such a loss is hard. And I have been doing so since that drop out and dead end jobs. Now, I'm basically the black sheep of my family with out a dregree or at least a diploma.

[@vsanthoshca]

Wow ! Just listening to you makes me smarter everyday Tai. Will meet you someday !

[@locorotondohugo9867]

i don't really learn a lot about life,but since i watched ur shows and i did buy some books that you recommended us and it helps me get better at life,so... thank you,and i hope ur gonna continue :)

[@brittanyposey1820]

I actually listened to the audiobook and Jerry Weintraub actually reads to you. I thought that is very cool because you get to hear him go through his own life. One of my favorite quotes is "Persistence - it's a cliché, but it happens to work. The person who makes it is the person who keeps going after everyone has quit." So it was definitely a good book. Thank you for the suggestion. 😊☺️

[@idontlikeyouyo]

Brittany Posey Put it on youtube.

[@paularose6162]

Hi Tai, To answer your question: I've given p on my childhood dreams of.... singing, dancing, acting, modeling and another dream of becoming a nurse. However,.... I AM taking singing lessons again!! Thank you for your motivation, knowledge and awesomeness :) You've been a big help to me, and I only started watching you today hahah

[@DJRick313rd]

Tai, I just wanted to say that I love how you talk about the "spark"! Upon pursuing 2 different types of businesses today, I developed a momentum and spark. I want to get back to Film Acting & Print Modeling. I also miss producing music, and just was paid a $49 check by BMI, since an old song somehow reached the airwaves of Vietnam. Also, another good Bible quote is "Judge not lest ye be not judged." While a lot of people judge the pretty women with their "cold shoulders," I somehow find a way to make the connection, and make the most of it. I gladly worked on a local set on Wednesday. Looking forward to Monday. Good thing I work weekend promo gigs, and not a tie-down "job"!

[@mihailkanchev3662]

I want to win Taekwondo tournaments, so I have to start training every day. Thank you Tai, for showing me the right mind set to succeed!

[@ZombieHounds]

getting knowledge and staying fit don't give up on the small things thank you loved this video I will be getting that book :)

[@douglaschaka5781]

Hi Tai, i watch a lot of videos, I used your advice to find a mentor (I asked someone to teach me what he knows about business and I would work for him for free) and it worked, he is one of the most successful person in the area I want to learn here my country and I'm following his guidelines. Don't pay attention to my little "bad" English.

[@Vastelieos]

I enjoy listening to these. I think the one thing I gave up on was learning Japanese but the one thing I could do to build the momentum to get back into to it is by just reading or introducing it to myself everyday for at least five minutes.

[@dilpreetsekhon876]

I wanted to do something involving modeling/fashion/creation and presentation, but I let it go every time an opportunity or idea comes in my mind because that's not the career path I'm in currently in. I don't execute the plans I have or sometimes its sad but, I don't even plan anything when the idea comes along because I inhibit myself. But I think your videos help me a lot. I am going to research fashion companies and their requirements for work, see where they are located, and contact them. I will be persistent because fashion is something I love. It is not what I'm doing in university right now, but its something I have wanted to do and have thought about for a while now, it won't stop in my head so I might as well try my heart out to be successful at it. Thank-you for your public speaking, YOU ARE GREAT AT IT. Keep the strength to continue pursuing it because you are changing lives of those who listen. Well 20% of those who listen at least as you said in your 80/20 rule in another video. But that still is something, all I can say is I want to strive to be the 20% who takes your advice to action. I will be getting into your 67 steps program once I get the money. So again thank-you and may God bless you.

[@minimover1212]

Thank you, Tai. Don't worry about the haters. You are helping people, including myself.

[@ShowMeYourGlory100]

The main thesis I've got out of this was that to be more persuasive, you need to be more persistent. Thanks Tai.

[@DarkSnakeX7]

Excellent Videos Tai!!! I gave up on one of my dreams, I wanned to be a soccer player, I did simply give up, didn't had persistence, didn't fought for my dream

[@Atomicgsta]

Thumbs up Zero to One in the background. The book gave me chills and my hands always became sweaty when I was reading it. It gave me alot of momentum. Now I'm a Finance Manager making 6 figures at age 20.

[@TheZavior44]

I really enjoy this video, and have subscribed because of it. A objective I've always had, since the age of twelve to complete was to in fact right a book. I have a very unique, gritty, but passionate, and heartwarming story that I simply call life. What inspired me to write this book was when I was twelve I remember being recommended the child called it book. I read it, loved it, and went on to read the rest of the series. And for once in my life it was book I could relate to. My story was very similar to the book, but I feel it has more depth as far a frequency of traumatic events. Besides the frequency I feel it had a larger spectrum of types of events. I felt the world deserve a book that stated never give up, because whatever is you are going through, you can make the best of it. A book that let people know, we are not alone, not even in our darkest hour. A beacon of hope, maybe even a guide for the lost. But I just simply kept writing stuff in my journal, until I was old enough to totally disregard my journal altogether. And I did, I did so without return.

Several years ago I stopped making jewelry. And just recently I started a very small online jewelry store focused on men's jewelry. I was out of the field for a while but it was always my first love. So I came back.

[@jhonfredysosa6346]

I really feel very proud for what you do. I start chasing my dreams again about 3 years ago. and it hasn't been easy but everytime that I listen your KZbin videos they remember me that I have to be more persistent. Thanks again for what you do.

[@johncenachamp5180]

Excellent speech of positive thinking and persuasive techniques in what people want to pursue in life.

[@FynnTastic2012]

It's always been on my head to have my basic living expenses covered by some form of automated income, in order to have all of my time freely available and see what I can do when I can freely use all my time. Unleash my full potential, so to speak. I only recently started actively pursuing this and it turns out to be much harder than I thought, but I'm gonna pull it off. Currently tweaking the path and experimenting a lot.

[@DanielMartinez-ut9ch]

One of my favorite book of the day's videos. Need to get this book

[@BrodieNeroTV]

Tai, thank you for your contribution. I've been following you for a little under a year now. So grateful for all that you put out there. I honestly have not invested in any of your programs but I feel compelled to support you in some capacity because of all that you bring to the market place. I look forward to one day visiting your resident's as someone who's had significant success that you would oblige to one of your networking events. God bless bro!!! keep going!

[@Show2124]

I go to the gym every day and yet have given up on owning my own gym to help others become better not just physically but mentally as well. It's always been s dream of mine to have my own gym, I know what people want/need and I have plenty of supporters who want me to do it, my fear is where I live is very anti-healthy living and the people tend to be very cheap. I don't know how to find a way to over come these fears but this video is making me search deep inside to find a way! Your the best Tai, love the videos as always!

[@voicegclef]

I gave up on being an Actor for a couple of years. Got back into it now, thanks to the 67 steps, I'm in an acting course it took persistence to get into, taking Dustin Hoffmans online acting course and extra-ing in movies in Belfast. To do more, I could take additional acting classes, or fly to America to be mentored by my favourite actor Skylar Astin. Anything could happen! Thank you so much Tai!!

[@braedenmeier1694]

I really liked this. I need to be more persuasive and this insight is amazing

[@horustuntankhamun1657]

[@reedricksr]

I'm going through the 67 steps program right now and the MBA program :) so why not get even more info and watch the youtube videos?!! You do have me asking a lot more questions. We most certainly need a world where we can combat all the stupid ideas!! "LOVE IT"! Having made it into my mid 50s, I have let go of a few dreams..... and it is time to reevaluate these. Thank you Tai!

[@zacharypearce5383]

Love your videos tai. I'm trying to grow my knowledge through the books you talk about.

[@tejroar3263]

Entrepreneurship is one thing that I have sort've fell off of because I quit persisting. The simple action I can take to create momentum is find my career path by taking as many tests and exploring as many organizations I can and figuring out where I wanna go with my career. I can apply for internships ( all of which I'm already doing.) I really like your videos; many people I know may not; but I think for a guy like me; I need someone who can shoot new ideas at me so I can experiment with them and you do that for me. So, thanks Tai!

[@antoniojuneja7219]

I do not have near close to photographic memory, I have to work 8 times harder to learn, at 57 I am watching your videos and just picked out a mentor, I Admire your talent and what you do.

[@seanlazier23]

thank you Tai. I have hundreds of mentors or teachers. you're my favorite one. I will tweek my path and follow my dreams like the violinist did when she was faced with cancer

[@kylepayton7944]

I like ur videos on shameless worship for hero's, persuasion, and perseverance. My dream died when I chose to look and analyze from a non creative point. I wanted to make a system for eternal energy. I studied chemistry and a lot of reactions to come up with my theory. I lost motivation with one single negative thought that u have a video on. I was told by someone, then told myself that I am a stuck where I am cause of everyone around me, family etc... I know now its not true and one day hope to meet u in person, and we can admire the greats of the past and wonder whom will b the greats of the future. Can't wait for ur next post stay well read.

[@freedomrings384]

Hey Tai love the videos man !! I was watching another one before this that was talking about how advertising keeps people stupid and these companies rich. You reaffirmed what I have been saying for years man. During this last week I looked at MSN's home page online. On the top stories there was not one mention of the congressional nuclear talks yet there was worthless information on trivial things i.e. food recipes or the cutest puppy sleeping. I'm tired of working the grind to make other companies rich while I get the minimal amount to be poor every two weeks and borrow money just to get groceries. I am extremely motivated to change my life and create something new for my family. I would love to have a meeting with you man to get some expert advice to change things around. Thanks for taking the time to read my piece. Take care thanks for the videos bro.

when I was a little younger, I always persisted my parents to buy something for me that I wanted on ,and how it could support me. but now that I thought of it. It could really help me in persuading people to buy my product/service on making that decision immediately instead of putting off a week instead you could do today for that self investment for your future and potential outcome.

[@brandonvoglewede4892]

I withdrew from college before my senior year to pursue my Clothing Brand, WeDE (We Dream Everything). I had been persistent in the business until I unsuccessfully launched a summer line. I was so focused on looking legitimate that I lost a purpose for why I was designing clothing in the first place. I put the business on the back burner for 2 months after losing money on the venture. I woke up and fell asleep everyday thinking about it. I took a trip to the Rocky Mountains and realized what I had been missing all along (A purpose for the designs I used on my clothing). I jumped back into the business and started tweaking what the brand represented further than just a slogan. I'm now in the process of designing a new line of clothing for WeDE, aimed at motivating people to be persistent in their dreams. Like a wede (understand my brands spelling is different), a dream is like a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants. I now strive to represent this in my business. I was happy to hear you mention being persistent and tweaking your path to reach the good life. I want my customers and myself to have the good life. You have acquired Great insight Tai, thanks for sharing.

[@aronjaime8399]

one dream I gave up on was being an airline pilot, I started a plan about 5 yrs ago to be a firefighter paramedic in order to pay for my flight school. 5 yrs later I'm a firefighter/emt but my main goal of bring a airline pilot was never accomplished. I still want to be a pilot but for fun, what I wish to accomplish now is to get a real estate business with branches across the United states.

[@truethesoulja6076]

Good inspiration and insight, one of the things that i recently gave up on and considering heavily on getting back on is my idea on creating a invention. I posted my idea on a website for inventors for feedback and didn't get what i was looking for. It is for the automobile industry and I feel it can help revolutionize it. I don't know where to start, so i left it alone. I always dreamed of being my own boss. only if i had the right people in front of me.

- One thing I gave up on do to a lack of persistence? Easy, I stopped making music. Though I have been inspired to pick it up again thanks to your videos. - One thing I can't go a day without thinking about? Easy, envisioning myself as a financially independent music artist, being interviewed, grinding in the studio and rocking shows. - One thing I can start doing now? I just have to begin by putting out music again.

[@michaelhuddy3407]

If you felt good all the time, feeling good would become the new normal, read Sigmund Freud , Civilization and its discontents. Also, some of the greatest ideas come from the down side of life, if you are always feeling good you have no pain to push you, you have no grind. The grind is life.

[@001rockclimber]

The thing I regretted doing was persisting to play the piano. I started, at a young age, and became so frustrated at many times for not having a better understanding on music theory. I quit. The thought always crossing my mind to pick it up again at some point. Recently I went into a Guitar Center and went to the back where they had all their best pianos laid out on display to see and to try out. I got on, after not playing for 10 or so years, and something just clicked. I created something beautiful and my flow was amazing. I hadn't realized that an hour and a half had passed. When I had, I got up and left, tearing up a bit realizing how much joy I have always found in creating music. That day I searched craigslist until I found a piano. I bought one that day and went home to play and start re-learning old lessons. I have committed an hour a day to playing piano ever since then and I have always found it to be the best medicine to balance out with a busy work schedule from the business.

[@davidev.3256]

I wanted to be an author. But it's one of my born weaknesses. I'm bot using that as an excuse, more as discovering my weaknesses. When you're not too good with something, you loose passion and interest. I don't like reading too much right now either, but you've inspired me to read, that's why I'll try to start reading these types of books. What is it that I can't go a day without thinking? It's probably something I'm not aware of. I have to be more aware of my thoughts every day.

Thanks for the video, very interesting and useful stuff. One correction if I may about Churchill. His military meddling was mostly negative in WW2. He was opposed to the D-Day landings in France and wanted to persist with the Italy campaign; the German's soft underbelly which turned out to be a tough old gut ! He was so haunted by the Gallipoli campaign that he feared the same outcome during the D-Day landings.

Mine would be writing. Ever since I was in junior high, I had this dream of being a successful author and writing a lot of books. I used to write everyday until I graduated high school, then the dream went dead. Then some family problems happened and that really killed the inspiration. What I can do NOW is to write a page every day, it could be from a writing prompt to prepare inspiration to finish one of my books, or just hit it hard and actually WRITE the damn book, lol.

[@robertomaddaloni9014]

I gave up on becoming a professional goalkeeper in soccer. When I was 13 I played in one of the best soccer teams in Germany. I chose not to pursue this dream because it was taking to much of my time during the week so I had little time to study for school and homework. This irritated me because I am academically pretty good and I had fun at school. Something I think about a lot because I could've made pro in the US, because soccer in Germany is more developed than in the states. However, I didn't give up completely and kept playing at a high level and now I'm using my knowledge and love for the game to become a great coach and maybe make it in the states at a college.
