  • kinda wish it was more than 5 mins. was a bit fast for me

  • the quotes are great but SOOOO distracting!!!!!!!

  • sound is poor

    

  • The video rocks, but the sound sucks.

  • Try a new way to get things done:

    1. Make a list of things to do to get there

    2. Decide how you can achieve them:

    (a) collaborate with friends

    (b) barter tasks with someone who can help

    (c) challenge someone to get there first

    3. Get things done & track success.

    This is tapTank.

  • All the quotes and the story he's telling is in the 4 Hour Workweek.

  • That was surprisingly good. I already knew Tim, but there was a decent amount of useful stuff in here.

  • fire the sound guy!

  • working less getting more sounds like a goal !

  • @dwdewhurst I agree; I like his line "that many of the fears you have, are based on undervaluing the things that are easily attainable"
