More quotes by Tim Ferriss
The blind quest for cash is a fool's errand.
Tim Ferriss
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.

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.
Tim Ferriss
A recession is very bad for publicly traded companies, but it's the best time for startups. When you have massive layoffs, there's more competition for available jobs, which means that an entrepreneur can hire freelancers at a lower cost.
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
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Tim Ferriss
Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!
Tim Ferriss
I'm not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.
Tim Ferriss
Most inputs are useless and time is wasted in proportion to the amount that is available.
Tim Ferriss
Just as modern man consumes both too many calories and calories of no nutritional value, information workers eat data both in excess and from the wrong sources.
