priorities 4-hour-work-week lack-of-time
Lack of time is actually lack of priorities.
majority needs misconception
The biggest misconception about work is that you need to spend the majority of your time doing it.
time work few-words
Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.
work important 4-hour-work-week
What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it.
nice being-nice who-you-are
Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
distance goal long
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.
luxury design feelings
Luxury is feeling unrushed. It is designing a life that allows you to do what you want with high leverage, with many options, all while feeling unrushed.
important action 4-hour-work-week
The most important actions are never comfortable.
focus important path
Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.
entrepreneur important want
If it's important to you and you want to do it 'eventually', just do it and correct course along the way.
stress role-models risk
Role models who push us to exceed our limits, physical training that removes our spare tires, and risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action are all examples of eustress—stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.
passion black-and-white ideas
One can steal ideas, but no one can steal execution or passion.
blessing tyrants fighter
Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.
goal focus doubt
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.
