Millionaire Interview with Seth Godin

Click HERE to watch the video interview with Seth and Jaime (creator of Eventual Millionaire).

Here are some of my notes from watching the video:

The purpose of making goals is to overcome fear.

Ask yourself: What do I want to not be afraid of?

Focus on the value you're creating, not the money.  The money will come.

"I keep doing things that don't make sense financially and I'm constantly pleased that I did them."

Don't make the mistake of making the goal the destination. (The journey IS everything)

The reason people don't have amazing missions is because they're afraid.

Use your fear.

When I hear a voice in the back of my head saying, "This might not work"...that's what I do.  That's my compass.

If I fail more, I win.

You gotta build the right thing - then you won't care about failing along the way.  "I got nothing to lose."

Work on scary, simple projects.

Get permission to follow up with people.

What do I do that is worth other people paying to be on the inside?  Teach people why it's worth it.

Pointers from Seth Godin

Hi, here are my notes from an interview of Seth Godin that I listened to on the Smart People Podcast.

People need to transfer their passion to their jobs rather than search for a job that's their passion.  This is more achievable and creates opportunities.  (Meanwhile, be working on your own business)

Fail relentlessly then fail some more.

We need to stop complying with the system and draw our own map.

The system has failed forever.

The new system rewards people who are willing to do something different.

Everyone is capable of producing "art", of being creative.

What matters is how you deal with your fear.

Failure and struggle should be your normal and the easy, "fine" times are the exception.

Use your fear as a compass of what you should do, not what you shouldn't do.

Dig deep and do the hard work longe before it's due.

Real artists don't wait for perfection.  They ship.  They GO FOR IT.

You no longer need to go to a specific school to learn things now that we have the internet.

Examples of things rarely taught in school:
  • public speaking
  • how to look things up
  • life-long learning
  • reading a book a week
We're stuck in the mindset of teachings facts rather than teaching life-long learning.

We don't teach kids that they have the power to create.
