For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.
Tim Ferriss
Unbeknownst to most fun-loving bipeds, not all stress is bad. Indeed, the New Rich don't aim to eliminate all stress. Not in the least.

Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself I'll just get it done this weekend.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.
Tim Ferriss
Uncertainty and the prospect of failure can be very scary noises in the shadows. Most people will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

I always point people to the article '1,000 True Fans' by Kevin Kelly. If you choose your thousand ideal customers or readers properly and find the single author blog that targets that audience, you never have to do any more marketing. You're done. That is a lesson that very few product developers and marketers have learned, and it's unfortunate.

I'm often asked how I define success. It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation.

The least-crowded channel for meeting high profile bloggers is in person. Email is the most difficult, the most crowded... I'm a top 1,000 blogger, not a top 100 blogger, and I get hundreds of pitches by email every week. Most of them I don't even see because my assistant declines them.
Tim Ferriss
I really feel like knife skills - not just in the kitchen, but in life - are really critical.
Tim Ferriss
Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.

I think willpower is very valuable.
Tim Ferriss
I have plenty of money to do what I want to do, and I have the relationships.
Tim Ferriss
Age doesn't matter. An open mind does.
Tim Ferriss
Most people can do absolutely awe-inspiring things. Sometimes they just need a little nudge.
Tim Ferriss
The most important actions are never comfortable.
Tim Ferriss
It is predicated on the assumption that you dislike what you are doing during the most physically capable years of your life. This is a nonstarter—nothing can justify that sacrifice.
Tim Ferriss
I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.
