There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

Image
Think big and don't listen to people who tell you it can't be done. Life's too short to think small.
Tim Ferriss

Slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.
Tim Ferriss
Image
Information is useless if it is not applied to something important or if you will forget it before you have a chance to apply it.

Language learning deserves special mention. It is, bar none, the best thing you can do to hone clear thinking.

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.

I've seen the promised land, and there is good news. You can have it all.

Seemingly unrelated [things] that are in fact really related, that's the stuff I like to talk about. Like dancing, language learning, swimming, three-pointers.

The reason I was successful in launching my first book with bloggers is this: I assumed that I should spend as much time on a blogger with a million-person readership as I would pitching an editor of a publication with a million person subscription-base.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.

When you try to do something big its hard to fail completely.

If you take a strong stance and have a clear opinion or statement on any subject online, you're going to polarize people. And without that polarity, there's no discussion. Discussion is what I want, which means that I'm fine with the consequences.

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.

People don't want to be millionaires - they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy.

Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.

I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.

A friend of mine, Derek Simmons, who's been on the podcast, said, If more information were the answer, we'd all be billionaires with perfect dads. It comes down to motivation and incentives. If it isn't a punishment or a reward, then it's just talk.

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. One isn't enough: Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.

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.
