Online I see people committing ‘social media suicide’ all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you’re never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don’t warrant a response.

The way we measure productivity is flawed. People checking their BlackBerry over dinner is not the measure of productivity Picture Quote #1

What I don’t like is snark for snark’s sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

At its core, I don’t view Facebook as a social network. I think it could become the driver’s license of the Internet. And beyond that, it can become the pipes and the plumbing upon what most of the Internet is built. I think it’s very well positioned Picture Quote #1

I started using Twitter about year after its very early adoption and ended up investing in it around that same time. I’m involved with the Tech scene and companies ranging from Facebook, Stumbleupon and Twitter Picture Quote #1

It’s very easy to confuse confident motion with being productive - and they’re not the same thing. Productive to me means measurable outcomes that apply to my most important to-dos that positively affect my life. That’s it Picture Quote #1

Resveratrol is fascinating stuff. One of the best sources of information about it is the Immortality Institute. They have a forum where some people are in the 500 Club, as they call it. They’ve been taking 500 milligrams for years. It’s a really great source of data Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

$1,000,000 in the bank isn’t the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows Picture Quote #1

The golden years become lower-middle-class life revisited. That’s a bittersweet ending Picture Quote #1

Becoming a member of the NR is not just about working smarter. It’s about building a system to replace yourself Picture Quote #1

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of mental laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate action Picture Quote #1

That’s precisely the question everyone should be asking-why the hell not? - Why not you, why not now Picture Quote #1

Unbeknownst to most fun-loving bipeds, not all stress is bad. Indeed, the New Rich don’t aim to eliminate all stress. Not in the least Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest Picture Quote #1

Which 20% of sources are causing 80% of my problems and unhappiness? Which 20% of sources are resulting in 80% of my desired outcomes and happiness? Picture Quote #1

Changing the world doesn’t require much money. Again, think in terms of empowerment and not charity. How much were Gandhi’s teachers paid? How much did it cost to give Dr. Martin Luther King the books that catalyzed his mind and actions? Picture Quote #1

You and your friends could plan the trip of a lifetime in 6-18 months to visit the completed school, teeming with dozens or hundreds of students who greet you with smiles and thank you letters. You’ll know it’s your school because your names will be on the door Picture Quote #1

Being busy is a form of laziness - lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions Picture Quote #1

A goal without real consequences is wishful thinking. Good follow-through doesn’t depend on the right intentions. It depends on the right incentives Picture Quote #1

I encourage active skepticism - when people are being skeptical because they’re trying to identify the best course of action. They’re trying to identify the next step for themselves or other people Picture Quote #1
