people marketing fans
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.
self attention gains
I still feel there are much smarter self-promoters out there than me. I am very methodical about my messaging, and I know how to gain attention very quickly.
time work few-words
Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.
needs impossible
To do the impossible, you need to ignore the popular.
majority needs misconception
The biggest misconception about work is that you need to spend the majority of your time doing it.
organization goes-on information
Sometimes you need to go on a low-information diet.
priorities 4-hour-work-week lack-of-time
Lack of time is actually lack of priorities.
entrepreneur make-things-happen happens
An entrepreneur isn't someone who owns a business, it's someone who makes things happen.
sorry screw-ups troublemaker
Get good at being a troublemaker and saying sorry when you really screw up
appreciation views two
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.
email assistants top-100
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.
work weakness
Emphasize strengths, don't fix weaknesses.
order two people
As far as income goes, there are three currencies in the world; most people ignore two. The three currencies are time, income and mobility, in descending order of importance. Most people focus exclusively on income.
running life-changing long
People frequently fail when they try to do everything at once. They approach a massive project and quickly get discouraged. Taking small, but high-value steps takes less time, and you learn more in the long run.
