Lessons Learned – Part 3 (Tim Ferriss)

This week I’m sharing some “Lessons Learned in 2008″ from Tim Ferriss, one of my favorite authors and bloggers.  Here’s the one more:

“You’re never as bad as they say you are. My agent used to send me every blog or media hit for The 4-Hour Workweek. Eight weeks after publication, I asked him to only forward me positive mentions in major media or factual inaccuracies I needed to respond to. An important correlate: you’re never as good as they say you are, either.

It’s not helpful get a big head or get depressed. The former makes you careless and the latter makes you lethargic. I wanted to have untainted optimism but remain hungry.”

Well said Tim!  To read more from Tim, click here.
