@tferriss Please do more stuff like this, I love consuming a shorter episode in one sitting + multiple speakers makes it even more engaging!

How to get a million followers on social: the "Blank Slate" approach 🧵:

[BARIK @barik507]

@garyvee The takeaway:

The best growth strategy on social media often involves ignoring the temptation to copy what works for everyone else.

It's about testing and learning what uniquely works for you, your audience, and the platform you're trying to grow on.

5/ ❓ Ask better questions, such as...

• What would this look like if it were easy?

• How am I complicit in the problems I complain about?

• Am I being productive… or just busy?

Grateful for the chance to chat with Tim in-person!

Tim Ferriss isn't just a 5X NYT best-selling author and the host of a podcast with more than 1 billion downloads...

His work has completely changed my life.

4/ 💡 The Minimum Effective Dose:

More isn’t always better. Find the path that requires the least amount of effort for the desired outcome.

@tferriss 3/ 🥗 The Slow Carb Diet:

I won’t go into the details here, but this approach helped me drop 70+ pounds and completely change how I look and feel. The best plan is the one you can stick with.

@tferriss 2/⏳ Parkinson’s Law:

Work expands or contracts to fill the time you give it.

If you give yourself a month to work on a project, it’ll take a month.

But give yourself a week... and it somehow gets done in a week.
