(Newswire.net — September 20, 2017) — The world of entrepreneurship can be confusing. It is exciting and empowering to take your life into your own hands and become your own boss. But the feelings of self-authorship can also be overshadowed by times of doubt and frustration. Making mistakes is part of what builds us into who we are, but can also be exhausting and degrading, especially if you are just starting out on your journey.

To those building their own brand, getting advice from a seasoned expert can be priceless. A good mentor can share their own experiences of ups and downs. Their own past mistakes and missed opportunities can give you a stream of fresh ideas and new perspectives to help shape your future brand.

However, many of us may not be lucky enough to have our own personal life coach on call at all times. Fortunately for us, we live in a time of mass communication and media. Through lectures, articles, podcasts, and other online media, there are seemingly endless opportunities to gain first-hand knowledge from seasoned entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs like Tai Lopez offer a wealth of information, guidance, inspiration, and useful ideas online and through their social media every day.

Tai Lopez Leading The World Of Business Mentorship 

While the availability of online guidance is encouraging, this mass accessibility can be a double-edged sword. It can be easy to get bogged down by the sheer amount of “thought leaders” offering advice on an endless variety of issues.  To those new to the game, it is important to stick to one or two seasoned pros who have a proven track record of helpful advice and a clear philosophy. 

Take for example Tai Lopez, a self-made college-dropout-turned-multi-millionaire. He has amassed a huge presence and online following through his efforts on YouTube and his websites. Tai comes from humble beginnings, and has worked his way up to be a heavy hitting entrepreneurial guru.

Tai was raised in poverty by single mother, and even dropped out of college.  But through dedication, a clear life philosophy and a never-ending quest for knowledge, which he shares to his viewership, Tai was able to become a successful brand and millionaire by the age of 30. Tai shares his life strategy and advice through his youtube channel, in lectures, and through his online program “The 67 Steps”. 

He shares his tips for building the four pillars of “The Good Life”, which he describes as a balance of health, wealth, love, and happiness. One of the main ideas expressed in his quest to be, what he calls “VIRN”, or being valuable, inimitable, rare, and non-substitutable, is the virtue of the endless quest for knowledge. 

Tai is very passionate in the idea of reading as a source for gaining knowledge.  He relentlessly pushes the concept of reading a new book every day, whether by speed reading or by audio book.  Tai believes that the endless pursuit of knowledge and new ideas is the key to success in our constantly changing world.  Most importantly, he shares his findings and explores the key concepts from the books he reads with his viewers, and in effect has created one of the largest book clubs in the world. 

One of the core pillars of Lopez’s philosophy is a constant drive for self-advancement and self-actualization. He believes that these, along with acquired knowledge, are what creates successful entrepreneurs, and more importantly human beings. He also promotes the concept of providing valuable, unique and interesting content. Tai argues that his own successes in business, branding, and life in general are completely due to his own philosophy, which he shares to his viewership and anyone interested.  

The Value Of A Guru 

For those early on in their entrepreneurial journey, and without a personal mentor of their own, it is worth it to listen to real successful gurus like Tai Lopez, where the proof of success is in the pudding. Learning from other’s past experiences can be exceptionally beneficial to those feeling lost on the long road to building their own brand or business.  The world of entrepreneurship and branding can be confusing.  Going through it alone can end up being a massive pain, and it pays to listen to the experts.
