Hi Tim,

Any more tips on how to outsource your online dating?

I’m recently single, consider myself a great catch, and want to meet someone great, but I feel like I can’t be bothered to go through the motions of weeding through profiles, responses, and bad dates.

Any tips would be awesome!

Cheers and thanks for the inspiration, Elizabeth

Tim,

I’m wondering if you can clarify something about the four hr workweek. I am willing to bet that you “work” much more than four hours a day and you love what you’re doing. Can you touch on the difference between working 10 hours/day in a job and spending 10 hours/day working towards exciting projects and goals? There’s a huge difference between the two and I’d love your thoughts on that.

Thanks Aaron

Ha ha,

Cool site, the speeddate one. It seems so new but I’m sure it will catch on like eharmony and match. I think these guys have the potential to give everyone a run for their money.

Tim
I am budding entreprenuer and future NR that is currently stuck in the corporate grind. Due to looming layoffs I am in a scenario where I may have to look for a new job. I have too many commitments (family and financial) to be a full time entreprenuer just yet. Do you have any advice you can lend as I start interviewing (cringing).

thanks
Vincent

Look at the interviews as you interviewing them. Consider yourself in a position of strength and be as selective as your skill set will allow.

Good luck, Tim

hey tim,

sorry to side track the blog entries…but just wanted to let you know that i live in new jersey and party in the city and there is not one person who gives me more than 30s to chat that i don’t recommend your book to. no matter if they are the owner of the bar or the woman i run into in gym class. i am spreading the word. so much so that i realise that PR is probably something that i would be good at, rather more of a “connector” as malcolm gladwell says in the ‘tipping point’. where can i find more about your speaking venues…like the one in cali. i may be there for a paintball tournament in march….care to join us?

saludos!

More on speaking coming very soon…. Tim

Wow Stanford MBAs cost more than I thought. I’d really like to move to California and study after Japan, but that seems like an awful lot of money. I’ll just have to dreamline it, right? It’s only 5k a month!
Any other ideas for getting a visa so that I can move to California?!

Here’s a time saver. I’m an avid theatre goer and have reviewed dozens of London plays and musicals in my Five-Word Reviews blog. I started it because I had so many visitors coming to town asking which show to see - now they can view them and get a quick review at a glance.

Hi Tim,

I agree with you that today’s hypersped life is not scalable and not sustainable in the long run. I like what you preach in terms of dropping the 80% of crap that is not useless and focusing on the 20% that is of the essence.

People don’t need a hyperfast life, they need focus. Ergest

Tim:

I was interviewed for the USA Today piece, too. We’re building Brijit as a time-saver for busy people: “the world in 100 words.” Hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
