10 ideas from Seth Godin & Tim ferris podcast.

I regularly listen Timferriss Podcast. I have been following his podcast for more than six months. I admire the work of SethGodin. Last week Tim interviewed seth and it is one of the best interview.

The following things I learned from their conversation.

  1. Money is a story we tell ourselves. After taking care of our basic needs, money is just a number.
  2. Write everyday online. start a blog. It is powerful.Once you are making predictions and noticing, it is not hiding anymore. Do not write anonymous or in private.
  3. Listening Audio books is a practice. The practice will change you deeply. Listen to some good books regularly at least monthly once.
  4. Go make ruckus. If you do emotional labor , identifying what to do is important.How to do and the tactics will come easily.
  5. Media consumption.

Do not watch Tv , recorded or other wise. In social networks nothing inherently helpful to us, but to make the owners rich.

  1. Do not quantify anything. But be thoughtful.

Meditation helps to understand our narrative. once some form of narrative taking over instead of fighting with it the practice of meditation helps to white noise the back ground.

7. Education and schooling.

we are not teaching our kids to become cogs. Two things you need to teach your kids. Leading and solving interesting problems. Education is no more than memorization or vocabulary. Because you can look up. Spend daily two hours daily to help your kid to solve interesting problems. Do not judge their effort but ask to do differently.

8. On fear.

Fear is important. Dance with it. Use it wisely. Do not get distract from doing unimportant and easy work.

9. You are more powerful than you think you are. Act accordingly.

10. Entrepreneur.

There are so many unmet needs. Do not try to invent new needs. It is difficult to climb up the mountain. So push and climb down.
