More quotes by Tim Ferriss

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
Someday is a dis-ease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.
Tim Ferriss
For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.
Tim Ferriss
If everyone is defining a problem or solving it one way and the results are subpar, this is the time to ask, What if I did the opposite? Don't follow a model that doesn't work. If the recipe sucks, it doesn't matter how good a cook you are.
Tim Ferriss
Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.
Tim Ferriss
The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.
Tim Ferriss
The best results I have had in my life the most enjoyable times, have all come from asking the simple question: 'What is the worst that could happen?'
Tim Ferriss
Sports just happen to be excellent for avoiding foreign-language stage fright and developing lasting friendships while still sounding like Tarzan.
Tim Ferriss
For the employee, the goal is to have full access to necessary information and as much independent decision-making ability as possible. For the entrepreneur, the goal is to grant as much information and independent decision-making ability to employees or contractors as possible.
Tim Ferriss
You and your friends could plan the trip of a lifetime in 6-18 months to visit the completed school, teeming with dozens or hundreds of students who greet you with smiles and thank you letters. You'll know it's your school because your names will be on the door.
Tim Ferriss
