"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

Imagine how your life would change forever if you met the right person - that one mentor you could shadow to train you in everything they knew on making money and living the good life?

Tai Lopez's life transformed forever, after being born to a single mom in Long Beach, California with a dad in Terminal Island prison, when at age 19 he found 5 millionaire mentors who showed him the principles that rich people teach their children that he never learned growing up.

Welcome to the FIRST NFT-BASED MENTOR SOCIAL CLUB.

The "OG (original garage) Social Club" NFT collection by Tai Lopez consists of Silver "Mentorship" cards (Tier 1), Gold "Mastermind" cards (Tier 2), and Black "Inner Circle" cards (Tier 3).

The vision behind this project is to create a members only club where only NFT holders members get access to millionaire mentors and entrepreneurs through a collection of masterminds, hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, popup events, physical and digital seminars, training courses, in person mentorships, conferences, fireside chats, and so much more!

When you buy an OG (original garage) Social Club NFT, you're not just buying another digital NFT - you're gaining access to a new way of life that makes this NFT valuable for the long run.

Plus when you've learned enough you can just trade the NFT to someone else who needs it.

Remember, "The More You Learn, The More You Earn."



No other NFT unlocks more real utility than the OG (original garage) Social Club. Period.

AS SEEN ON

Tai is one of the most sought-after entrepreneur mentors, but has been limited in his time and has had to innovate to find a simple way to give access to mentorships from him and his group of personal mentors.

The breakthrough was using NFTs to create a hacker proof way to ensure limited memberships that can also be resold to others once a buyer no longer needs it. This minimizes the expense of the mentorship by making it resellable.

Owning an OG NFT gives you insider access into Tai's life, shadow him to learn how to buy real estate and big brands, have a private dinner with him, fly in a private jet with him, attend business meetings with him.

And more importantly, he's giving you access to the millionaires, billionaires, Nobel Prize winners, and wealthy entrepreneurs that are in his personal social circle.

Remember, "It's not what you know, it's WHO you know!"


Back to 2015

When Tai Lopez recorded his famous "Here in my garage" video on YouTube back in 2015, it quickly became one of the most watched and parodied commercials of all time, with over 100 million people viewing globally.

Now with over 9 million social media followers, Tai is one of the most popular and talked about business influencers of the past decade and is regarded as one of the "founding fathers" of modern-day internet marketing.

Over the years, Tai made many millions through a combination of a financial planning company, real estate, tech companies, consulting, and buying some of America's biggest legacy brands like RadioShack, Pier1, Dressbarn, Stein Mart, Modells, Linens N' Things, Ralph & Russo and turning them into ecommerce companies with over 100 million website visitors per year.

    • What is an NFT?

      NFT is an abbreviation that stands for "Non-Fungible Token". An NFT exists on a blockchain and is entirely unique, with its very own metadata and identification codes that separate one from another. Each NFT can have its own value, unlike regular cryptocurrencies which are identical and can be used as a medium for regular transactions. NFTs, explained: https://www.theverge.com/22310188/nft-explainer-what-is-blockchain-crypto-art-faq

    • What is a project?

      A project is essentially the combination of an NFT Collection and the community of said collection.

    • What is a Blockchain?

      A blockchain is a platform where information is recorded and tracked that makes it nearly impossible to hack or cheat the system. When you make a purchase, a transaction fee referred to as "Gas" is required, which allows your transaction to be processed through the blockchain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSo_EIwHSd4

    • How do I buy one?

      There are two ways to obtain an NFT, the first is minting one and the second is purchasing an NFT from a secondary market. Minting an NFT will create an NFT on the Blockchain and the cost to mint is generally a fixed price. On the other hand, by purchasing an NFT from a secondary market, you will be buying an NFT that has already been minted and the cost can be higher or lower than the mint price depending on how the market evaluates the value of the NFT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDGFJwPbsE

    • How do I access my courses?

      To access your courses, click the ""Log In"" button on the OriginalGarage website. This will then ask you to connect your MetaMask wallet. Once you have connected your wallet, you will then be presented with an option to ""Access Your Courses""

    • How do I buy an NFT on a Secondary Market?

      Majority of the NFT market space uses ETH as their form of currency, the most common marketplace NFTs are traded is OpenSea. Once you have your profile set up and wallet connected to OpenSea, you can purchase an NFT from any collection you like, granted you have the required funds.

    • How do I sell one?

      To sell an NFT on OpenSea, open up your OpenSea profile and then select the NFT you would like to sell. Press the "Sell" button, then select the option "Fixed Price" and fill out the price and duration you would like to sell for. Alternatively, you could put your NFT up for auction and allow people to bid for it. The first time you sell an NFT, there will be two one time fees you will be required to pay, so keep this in mind when deciding to sell your NFTs.

    • What is Ethereum and how do I get ETH?

      Ethereum is a blockchain network on which many different protocols operate, including NFTs created on the Ethereum network.
      ETH is the main cryptocurrency used to transact on the Ethereum network. You can get it through various crypto exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, FTX, KuCoin, Crypto.com and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyTxYpIkALo

    • What are non-custodial wallets and what is MetaMask?

5 Things you can do to keep yourself and your wallet safe

  1. Do not be first. Scammers will prey on your sense of urgency and desire to be first, using it against you. Wait until someone else has interacted with the contract first - it'll save you stress and money.

  2. Create a burner wallet. This is a wallet that only contains enough ETH to cover the number of NFTs you are minting from a specific collection and the gas fees. It can be in the same MetaMask as your main wallet, but will have a different address associated with it. Click create account in MetaMask and name it "Minting" or "Burner" as you will only use this wallet for minting. After you mint, you can move your NFTs to your main account (typically, I only move them once they're worth enough to justify the cost). This video will show you starting at 5:00 in ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lWuHWov1p8 )

  3. Disconnect your wallet after you've done your business with a website. You'd be surprised at how many websites your MetaMask might still be connected to. Here's a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL7LV5Tlc5c) demonstrating how to do it. It's good hygiene to disconnect every time you use a site and to periodically check your wallet to see if any sites are connected.

  4. Be wary of DMs. Most DMs are scams and our community team will not DM you first. If they have to reach out, they will notify you in the saloon first.

  5. Most importantly, do your own research and then trust your gut. Has the team been around for a while? How invested are they in the project? Are any doxxed? If the team has never talked about a mint date, chances are they're not going to spring a surprise one on you in the announcements. A lot of discords have been hacked, so be skeptical if there's a surprise mint or posts coming from discord bots. Remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Fake Mints

  • The most prevalent scam happening right now with NFTs continues to be around sudden/fake mints. These usually happen one of two ways:

  • You receive a DM from an account impersonating the project (i.e. OG Social Club Mints Now)

    OR

  • A fake mint link is sent out to a discord, usually coming from a compromised team member (mod, project team, bot) with specific permissions

    Both of these stem from the same abuse vector: a phishing scam

  • Phishing Scam

    Phishing refers to someone impersonating a reputable business/project/person with the goal of getting valuable information (login credentials, tx signature, etc.) from you. This was what likely happened with the latest OpenSea hack.

  • This can happen via message, email, phone call, etc. It's not so dissimilar to spam phone calls you receive (Hi this is your electric company, you're overdue so give us your credit card).

  • DMs about Special Collection/Sudden Mint - Someone is trying to get you to click a link to then give up your password/seed phrase or sign a transaction with your wallet.

  • The most prevalent scam happening right now with NFTs continues to be around sudden/fake mints. These usually happen one of two ways:

  • Sudden Link Drop In Discord - Someone who has specific permissions (i.e. tag everyone, post links, create channels) was compromised. This likely happened via a phishing scam or social engineering (i.e. pretending to be someone who works their way into a group).

What to watch-out for?

  • Any DMs you receive about a special mint, collection or drop is likely fake

    Any DM you receive with incredible urgency (i.e. you need to mint this NOW, your account may be shut off NOW) is likely a scam

    Any sudden mint posts in a discord should always be assumed fake unless proven otherwise

What can you do?

  • Below are some general best practices to consider:

    Try not to click anything from someone you don't know. I know that sounds like a lot, but random DMs you receive, nope. Random links in a discord, nope.

    Anything that is extremely sudden or without warning should be looked at with EXTREME caution and skepticism. It is an incredible amount of work putting an NFT project together - insanely unlikely a team is going to just drop a link to the mint.

    If you are ever asked to sign something with your wallet or give up your password/seeds phrase - proceed with EXTREME caution. Double check URLs, review the contract, etc. This is how someone gets access to your account.

    Don't sign your wallet to anything that you do not know is a legitimate source. Check if it's a legit source by going to their official accounts, google, etc.

    Turn off DMs in discord as a default in settings

    Use 2FA for everything

What is 2FA - 2 Factor-Authentication?

  • Two-factor authentication essentially requires a specific string of numbers (sent via app or text) to log in to an account. So instead of just requiring your email/password to sign in - you have another requirement that is texted to you or on an app (like google authenticator). This is the #1 way you can protect your account (discord, twitter, etc) from compromise!

    You got this OGs! Just remember - if you think it might be bad, don't click it!!
