The #1 Motivation To Freedom & Wealth | Tai Lopez

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:10Calling all conscious achievers who are seeking more community and connection, I've got an invitation for you. Join me at this year's Summit of Greatness this September 7th through 9th in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, to unleash your true greatness.

1:19What drives you right now to do what you're doing and to create so much and to grow what you've been growing? What's your driving force? You know, I think it's part adventure. I have this thing that there's the four Ms of motivation, what motivate us. Material things, mating, you have mastery, which is like status. And the last one is movement or momentum, freedom. And so I think every person you meet for the most part, if they're normal sane humans, is going to be motivated around that hierarchy. I think my order, you got to know your order. I think I'm most driven by movement freedom. Like, I became an entrepreneur because I didn't like a 9-to-5 job.

2:02You know, I did it. I tried it. It wasn't for me. How old were you when you became an entrepreneur? All around 19. When I was 20, I then was an entrepreneur, and then I did a little bit of company work at the same time I was an entrepreneur. I didn't like it. Same with going to college. So I think that's my first one, and then each person's different. and that's one thing where you get people that don't like each other it's a huge mistake i see people and you see this a lot people go well i'm not gonna listen to this person i don't think they have my values well all humans have if they're not criminals you probably share the same values just in different priority order so i know a few entrepreneurs in fact i know about three of them that are make the most money and they are so secretive guys and i get to have a dinner with them once in a while and I was in New York and I had dinner with this guy and he said, just remember Ty, most people can only hold one thought in their head at the same time.

2:59And so I think that when I think about my motivations and when I see people trying to figure out my motivations, most people want it to just be one motivator. Humans are complicated, uncomplicated. The smarter you are at some level as a species, you can be more complicated. You You know, earthworms, they ain't that complicated. Dogs, a little more complicated. We have dogs. You can have a dog with a little more complicated personality. Sure. Well, dogs have about a 40 to 50 IQ. Humans have 100 to 200 IQ. And that's exponential curve, which means we're 100 times more complicated. What would you say are your top priorities in life right now?

3:40I try to keep it simple in my mind. I call the four pillars of the good life, health, wealth, love, and happiness. I want to have all four of those. What's missing? You know, I think the ebb and flow. Like, I think there's times when your physical health, you're working too hard, and then so you're not as healthy. That's probably the healthiest I've seen you in the last few years. Yeah, yeah. I've been able to, you know, I was doing a lot of work stuff, and I balanced a little bit better. But I'm doing a lot of stuff. I think social life is super important. And so I think in each person's life, if you're a genius and you're watching this, you'll be able to do it way better than me, which is always hold all four constantly up.

4:19And that's that's what my thing is now. It's like, how can I structure my life so that all four of those are rocking and rolling?
