21. Decide where you’ll be in five years and get there in two “How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?” — Peter Thiel There is always a faster way than you originally conceive. Actually, goal-setting can slow your progress and diminish your potential if you rely too heavily upon it. In an interview with Success Magazine, Tim Ferriss said that he doesn’t have five or ten year goals. Instead, he works on “experiments” or projects for a 6–12 week period of time. If they do extremely well, the possible doors that could open are endless. Tim would rather play to the best possibilities than get stuck on one track. He says this approach allows him to go drastically farther than he could ever plan for.

35. Make a few radical changes to your life each year Reinvent yourself every year. Novelty is an antidote to monotony. Jump into new pursuits and relationships. Try things you’ve never done before. Take risks. Have more fun. Pursue big things you’ve been procrastinating for years. In 2015, my wife and I went from having no kids to having three foster kids (ages 4, 6, and 8). I’ve started blogging. I quit my job and started writing full-time. I completely changed my diet. I’ve changed my entire daily routine. This year has been just as transformative as the last. It’s taught me that you can change your whole life in one year. I plan on changing my whole life for the better every year. Change freaks people out. It immediately pulls you from your comfort zone. Which is exactly what you need. You’ll often feel like a fraud. But impostor syndrome is exactly what you should be seeking. Do your best to always be the dumbest person in the room and you’ll improve rapidly.

44. Make one audacious request per week (what do you have to lose?)
