What’s Obvious to You is AMAZING to Others (So Don’t Do This👇)
Derek Sivers reveals a shocking admission from several hit songwriters, and I drop 9 more book recommendations
Derek Sivers sold his company, CD Baby, for $22,000,000, and after donating a large chunk of it to charity, he mostly retreated into a life of artistic creation and profitable engagement with BIG ideas.
He’s seen further and more clearly than most, and some of his strategies and revelations have made their way around the entire world.
For example, his idea that, when deciding whether or not to commit to something, you should ask yourself whether it’s a “Hell yeah!” or a “No.”
Those are the only two options.
It’s either “Hell yeah!”
Or he doesn’t do it.
Nowadays, you’ll see that same super simple decision-making framework making its way across the entire internet.
Some people credit him for coming up with it, others don’t, but regardless of all that, he’s been responsible for changing my thinking in a lot of key areas of my life, and I want to share his wisdom with you today.
But I want to do more than that.
I live my life in such a way that I overpromise AND overdeliver.
