He was a great man for teaching non-violent protest and his beautiful "I have a dream speech"
It's a cold day 25 degrees in NYC and a slight coating of snow on the ground and phone just rebooted but at least I'm getting a new one.
I think I have ADHD, from an article in Lifehack.org,
I just listened and analyzed an interview from +Daymond John of +Tim Ferriss. Even a guy like Daymond was uhing in the interview. Though it was very useful to hear Tim's story on how he got success. Of course luck is involved.
He met +Robert Scoble by accidentally being nice to his wife Miriam who was helping people sign in to a conference.
At +SXSW someone canceled and Tim was able to speak there.
He brought on the luck through persistence, being nice to people and asking for help. Some of the takeaways I got were:
- Be nice to people
- Don't pitch where everyone is pitching
- In person beats email or phone
- Surf waves that no one has surfed before
- Hardest place to sell a book is a bookstore
- Volunteer for co's that can help you and work your ass off
- You can get rejected many times and be successful as long as you don't give up
- Small thing (mention from Robert Scoble) can start the entire snowball rolling
- Prepare your presentation, even if in front of a dog
- Get feedback on your idea
- Test your concept so you know if you should pursue it or not
