In prep for the release of his massive book — Tools of Titans — Tim Ferriss did an event at Creative Live entitled “How Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers Master Productivity.” It streams free now and then and occasionally is available for purchase at the Creative Live website (which is a treasure trove for random free and low-cost online classes to expand your brain in all sorts of ninja ways).
In this Creative Live mini-course, Tim ran through 17 traits that high achievers share. I grabbed my journal and scribbled like a madwoman. It was great. Of course, I also put everything he shared through the SMFA filter because adapting these concepts to ninja use seemed way too valuable a challenge to pass up.
Turns out Tim *also* placed a version of these 17 things — this time as “17 Questions That Changed My Life” — at his blog. There are some variations in these two versions of the goods, and I’m thrilled to bring the best of all of this into a recipe for creatives, leaders that we are!
Listen up!
How do you interpret these 17 traits (or questions) and how will you adapt them (and improve upon them) for your own use?
Lemmeknow!
