- On hiring:
- Focus more on references
- A great interview question – “If you were hiring somebody to do this job, what criteria would you use to hire them?”
- Credibility = Proven Confidence + Relationships + Integrity
- Spend more time thinking about tough problems – actually schedule thinking time
- If you’re looking to improve in a certain area, hire a coach – it’s some of the best money you can spend
- ALWAYS question your assumptions
- A good thing to ask – “How might the opposite of this belief be true?”
- Just like people are billionaires financially, if you have more than a billion seconds left in your life – you’re a time billionaire
- (A million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is slightly over 31 years)
- Just think – How much would a 90 year old billionaire pay to go back in time and be 20-years-old again?
- During joyful experiences, try to pause and imagine yourself in the future asking- “How much would I pay to be in this moment again?”
- Doing so, really helps you to appreciate life’s special moments
