Right!?

A short summary of the ideas from the video above: 1. If you cannot be first in your category, setup a new category. The Blue Ocean strategy. 2. Don't obsess about scaling. Focus on the product. 3. Gain 1000 true fans. They will be the drivers of your growth. 4. Measure your KPIs and train to deliver your message in a clear and concise way. 5. 80/20 principle (works with your content, clients etc) 6. Do many tests and look for the stuff that works. You are only starting, that's okay. 7. In the middle of your journey find time to stop, evaluate what you have already achieved and correct your course direction. 8. Hard (and smart) work is key.

16:53 Indiscriminate action is a form of laziness. Powerful.

He comes across as the most genuine business mentor.

"Indiscriminate action is reflective of too little thinking and planning, and that is lazy and that is one of the most destructive forms of laziness because it is socially reinforced and people will encourage you to do that. In other words they will say "just don't stand there do something." Well if you're constantly doing things that are not carefully thought through you will end up doing the opposite the 80/20 principle you will end up specializing in unimportant things." I have been searching for someone to say this very thing long time.

I've honestly learned more from youtube videos like this than I ever did in school.

0:30 Better create a category and own it. Then go to what exists 2:25 Don't obsesse on scaling. Don't work for the awards. Focus on a great work Read small giants. 5:15 Create podcasting on something you are curious about You can then convince others to be invested in it 7:00 If you are taking inspiration from other podcasts understand what made it them. Is it the host, the guests etc. Focus on what interests you. You like that attract your tribe 10:00 Focus on the critical things which are mostly uncomfortable and like that you can outpace others 13:20 Focus on starting Then focus on repetition. Focus on discipline then. And then focus on repetition and decipline with a great video 16:50 תכוונו לנישה מסוימת ואל תתפזרו

For everyone who was distracted by the hat, Rewatch the video but this time don't watch it. Let it play in the background while you get work done, make dinner, doodle jump, etc. Much more effective than thinking about that damn hat the whole time. Cheers.

Chris Sieradzki thank you for your condescending comment that assumes that just cause Tim wore a weird hat and someone noticed, it means the person didn’t actually listen to the video. I listened to it the first time while cooking, like I usually do

Thank you so much for everything Tim!

Each of your videos are better than full books of some. You're the 20% of whom we should focus on learning from, fire the rest 80%

I read your book - 4 hour work week 6 years ago before I stared my business. Happy to find your channel!

Best 18 minutes I've spent today.

This is a goldmine of information, I will continue to absorb over time. I would love to hear a small talk on how to control money after you've begun your business, this seems like a conversation that very few people have. It seems like it would be easy to drown in success if you had no idea how to leverage it. Thank you for your contributions, Mr. Ferriss.

I’m only 4-mins in and getting so much out of this. “Constrained by Design”. Love it.

Pure gold. This reduces my two years of learning and exploring down to a few minutes. Do this and you will succeed.

Tim, I can’t thank you enough for producing this content. I’ve owned my own business for a year and a half and your wisdom and tips are helping me through a hard time! I naturally gravitate towards effectiveness as a person but my nurture has taught me efficiency and being a busy body. By modeling an effective lifestyle and sharing these tips, you are helping me overcome the model I was taught and step into my true self and destiny!

16:56 is golden advice. Thank you Tim! This is what I have been missing the past few years of my life.

Great video, Tim! I really enjoy these kind of laid-back videos where you talk about virtually anything. I'll definitely check those books out, although some I already knew about (the 80/20 principle and Vagabonding). Thanks for sharing your philosophy with us.

Tim, your work ethic, hustle, and marketing skills are legendary. I remember seeing interviews and case studies about tactics you used to make your projects successful. Do you think entrepreneurs are somewhat cheated when the people they look up to preach, "follow your passion! take risks!" without sharing the secret sauce of their hyper growth tactics? You're easily one of the most generous, tactic-oriented guys just out there, just wondering your opinion.

Thank you for being you Tim. You’re a huge blessing to me! Keep up the great work!

Wow Tim, you're really such a great mentor without even knowing you personally. What a legacy, well done!

Tim - Been consuming large quantities of your content over the past week - YT videos (like this excellent one), Podcast, Tools of Titans (and the 4-hour books on order) - mad respect for you for being so unflinchingly human (not coming over as superhuman) and I thoroughly resonate with your commitment to reading everything that matters on everything you're interested in - I'm 63 and an insatiable read - learning from you (and other experts) as I prepare to launch my first ever podcast and just wanted to thank you for being so hungry and so generous!

These videos are so good Tim, I hope people discover you through this medium and enrich their lives as much as I have through you over the years

Thank you for this video. Right now I'm finding myself in this situation where I'm too busy not getting anything accomplished mainly because I've accepted roles based on friendships and it has already costed me several opportunities and a lot of money. Hopefully I can get these tasks off my shoulders by the end of this month and I can really focus on my PM classes and start consuming these books for q4 of this year.

This is actually such golden advice. Wow. Rewatching this video a couple years later and it’s even more valuable!

18 minutes of pure gold, I'll have to watch the video again and again to take full advantage of the advice. Thanks for posting this video!

This man's podcasts and books have done so much for me in the past 2 years. I am truly grateful for his content.

Tim, this morning I stumbled across your interview on Morning Brew. After, watched two of your videos, including the above. Your guidance regarding starting a business essentially is what I experienced starting my first service corporation back in the early 80s. As founder and CEO, I operated and built that business into a North American competitor over forty plus years, before retiring it six years back. During that time, I started and sold two other businesses. I enjoyed and could relate to your experience on many levels, only my experiences began back in the 70s, including the effects of psychedelics. I hope your audience listened closely, especially to when you say, if they don't have time to read, they probably should pass on starting a business. Thank You!

Thank you for everything that you share, Tim! You've been one of my mentors and thank you so much.

That plant thing on the wall is awesome, my kind of art

Tim, you are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing this information and for all you do to encourage and motivate us solo-preneurs.

Always enjoy Tim's honesty, reading ideology and logic. Thanks for the great tips

Developing a business mind for a creative entrepreneur is hard, but these tips are very helpful. I started my podcast almost a year ago with little planning, and now I realize the value in choosing the content carefully and planning out each season.

Thank you, Tim. Great advice. Your podcast and books are gold mines.

I love you tim, you changed my life.

Watched this a few years back and never fails to bring back so many important ideas.

Hi Tim Ferris I Love this video, you have mentioned the most important factors of creating a business. It helps me to come up with new ideas for a business. It includes marketing and to analyze the small things that make a business a five-star one. Has mentioned in the video, it is important to spend time and read more about the business that someone is trying to start. Your positivity inspires me to keep wanting to accomplish my dreams to make them come true.

People making jokes about you're cap but here's just another example of you taking you're own advice and filming 2-3 months worth of videos in a day to create a really valuable group of videos.

Another good book is Gerber's "E-Myth Revisited," I'm amazed at how many small businesses don't know how to structure and organize correctly.

Always good advice, from an obviously successful man. Of course, many are choosing to focus on your hat and criticize. Loved 4 Hour Work Week! It was a disruptor. Thanks for the insights.

Found this video only now, 3 years into my biz, but so glad to see you recommending Vagabonding as a "go to" to course correct. I'll get to the copy I bought in Aug 2011 to spark that ray of light back into what I'm doing. BTW, you're a great inspiration and one of my favourite speakers. Thank you for your work!

WOW. One of your most useful videos Tim, thank you! Been following you for years and will continue to do so.

Amazing Stuff Tim. Each & every word which comes out of your mouth is so valuable & to the point. Many people out there are charging hundreds of dollars just to teach this. Your ideas are just out of the box. I aspire to think like you and innovate new things in my field. More power to you Thanks a lot & keep going All the very best to everyone who is watching this video. May all your dreams come true

Tim is the most fantastic person I have come across on internet. Keep it up.

Thank you Ferris, very useful, distilled information as usual. You are so far my most important mentor in my life.

I believe this is the most relaxed I've ever seen Tim in any of these Videos. I like it! 👊🏻

Hi Tim - Thank-you for this advice, especially the fundamentals of starting a BUSINESS (8:28-8:44).

I really felt that you said, indiscriminate action is a destructive form of laziness and you become an expert at working hard on trivial things. I really needed to hear that.

That was time well spent, thank you for that!
