More quotes by Tim Ferriss
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.

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?'

I think time management as a label encourages people to view each 24-hour period as a slot in which they should pack as much as possible.

Creating demand is hard. Filling demand is easier. Don't create a product, then seek someone to sell it to. Find a market - define your customers - then find or develop a product for them.

I think about willpower almost never. I realize for myself, trying to be more disciplined is pretty nebulous and it's often a slippery target. For me, I've just thought about incentives.

The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.

In excess, most endeavors and possessions take on the characteristics of their opposite.

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
You think you're fatigued, therefore you can't exercise. In fact, you choose not to move, therefore you feel fatigued.

The truth is that since the first book, I have wanted to emulate Benjamin Franklin and put together a healthy, wealthy and wise trilogy and so healthy was 'The 4-Hour Body,' wealthy was 'The 4-Hour Workweek' and then wise is 'The 4-Hour Chef.'
Tim Ferriss
If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder don't work harder.
Tim Ferriss
Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W's you control in your life: what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it.
Tim Ferriss
The only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves
Tim Ferriss
Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!
Tim Ferriss
Having a size 9 foot is fantastic because almost all of the shoe companies do their prototyping in size 9, so if you visit a place like Nike headquarters, you can try every sort of wacky, out-there model.
Tim Ferriss
If you spend your time, worth $20-25 per hour, doing something that someone else will do for $10 per hour, it's simply a poor use of resources.
Tim Ferriss
There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.
Tim Ferriss
To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.
Tim Ferriss
If someone's criticism is completely unfounded on data, then I don't want to hear it. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
