More quotes by Tim Ferriss
Being able to quit things that don't work is integral to being a winner
Tim Ferriss
There are no statues erected to critics.
Tim Ferriss
To make a bestseller, there are more customers than just your customers: Selling to the end-user is just one piece of the puzzle. In my case, I needed to first sell myself to the publisher to get marketing support and national retail distribution.
Tim Ferriss
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.
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.
Tim Ferriss
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.
Tim Ferriss
Simplicity requires ruthlessness.
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
People don't want to be millionaires - they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy.
Tim Ferriss
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
Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.
Tim Ferriss
Lacking an external focus, the mind turns inward on itself and creates problems to solve, even if the problems are undefined or unimportant. If you find a focus, an ambitious goal that seems impossible and forces you to grow, these doubts disappear.
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
Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals. Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most economical manner possible. Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.
Tim Ferriss
For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.
Tim Ferriss
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.
Tim Ferriss
People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.
Tim Ferriss
I didn't even like white wine. Then I tasted it and bought a case. It was the first case of any wine I'd ever bought.
Tim Ferriss
To have an uncommon lifestyle, you need to develop the uncommon habit of making decisions, both for yourself and for others.
