    i kind of think the hammer man theory is dumb ..hammers where invwnted long before nails ..

    if you are a man with a hammer and only think a hammer is used to drive nails ..

    anyway.. i watch tia lopez stuff .. or did untill it was all to get me on his mailing list.. it is real interesting to study the model he uses ..

    ignorance is not bliss.. but even if you get imformation overload.. it just means you have to develop better filters to process information ..or a frame work .. beyond the limited local view most people view the entire world with

      I agree that Tais marketing tactics are top tier. Information overload is better than not knowing anything at all, but only slightly. No one cares about what you know, it's about what you do with what you know that counts.

        I'm surprised members of an internet marketing forum would not see Tai for what he is. An e-book salesman running the bootleg guru angle. Taking advantage of the masses of clueless idiots that are not even clever enough to realize that IF he is a scam, it's not the information that is the scam, it's the IMAGE he weaves in order to SELL his books. SO many others are doing this scam, so to not be aware yet is to really be blind and essentially the "sucker in the room" that Tai talks about.

        Any careful analysis of Tai's "story" will show the many holes and a CLEAR pattern of magic tricks of distraction. Look over HERE, not over THERE...

          so the guy made his forune on dateing websites..and now is making money pretty much regurgitating information from ever other self help guru ..or business person that wrote a book ..

          unless you are an uniformed idiot.. and it's up to you to self identify ..and say you believe you where taken advantage of ..

          do you understand that historically ..95 perscent of self help product.. barly get opened or read past the first chapter ..

          and lets explain a sales funnel.. so as an example tai give away tones of his regurgitated information.. because he is reading book you may never read.. and then there is a sign up list to see everything.. and then a cheap info product them=n a more expensive self help coure ..then seminars that are more pricy..then the 10000 dollar just to get 1 session of personal coaching ..

          are you upset .. because tai is actually doing a chunk of the stuff he reads about ..and or teaches ..

          though i stopped watching his stuff months ago.. i kinda wish he had just started doing every shoot with a model having a photo shoot in the back ground ..

          and at some point he was just saying nothing new ..or 95 percent the same ..

          ps ..im not calling you an idiot or anything..just opening the door for you to self identify .. and yes internet marketers should see the model tai is using it ..and try to copy what they can

    if you really want to expose tai lopez as a scam and make a name for yourself you can rent the house tia shoots his videos from ..for 75000 a month .. apparently all his bookshelves are in his normal house with the in the garage in his hollywood home ..

    though granted he has probably paid 20 million dollars for you tube views or more .. so 75 k a month.. that you can write off on taxes to rent a house ..and what ever it costs to lease a couple lambos ..all tax write offs as advertising expenses ..

    let me point out the problem i have and why i don't put much credit in what tai lopez sell.. and i have never bought anything ..he sells ..

    he dresses like dogshit compared to the way he is supposed to be living ..

    her in my garage ..standing in front of my 7 bookshelves.. here is my lambo ..look at these nice cloths i picked up at the thrift store ..

    uh ooo oh ..umm .. can't be bother to style my hair or learn to speak well on camera ..fake it and tell everyone you made it ..

    and puuting all the chips down i resent and get disgusted when people sell that the good life is the 50 million dollar home with the 250,000 dollar cars ..and that everyone should aspire to that ..

    so you havn't made it untill you are 1 person living in a house with 9 bedrooms 9 bathroom.. with 16000 square feet for 1 person ..

    is the right message for success .. the limited view of success that you have to be going for more bigger ..and no income is enough to say..yiou know i'm making enough money ..

    *snickers * haha ..

    so he went from interning for joel salatin.. who i have much respect for.. to sleeping on his friend couch.. to then selling insurance for a few years to owning and running several dating websites ..

    so now he is a guru.. and his company can at least afford to rent a house as a prop ..for 75000 a month and lease a couple lambo's .. all tax write offs .. of course.. and spend millions maybe 10s of millions on yout tube adds ....and now if you say the word knowledge in the right context .. people thing of tai lopez the same way people think of trump if you say your fired ..

    you know what else is a scam.. gym membership// 50 percent of people never go even if they have a membership..

    you know what else is a big scam ..college .. no not knowledge ..college because you are not gurenteed anything with a degree..can even get your money back if you never get a job in the field you have your degree in.. like 80 percent iof degree holders or something ..

    you know what else is a scam statistics and percentages .. because most people have no f clue how to figure out what 70 percent of any number is.. it just sound like a lot .

    ps ..i forgot to add than youtube is harsh ..if for a second even with all the money tai was spending ..there was deemed to be fraud or dishonest or a reasonable suspicion of thre being a scam..his adds would have been stopped
