Tim Ferriss Quotes

A plan is a bridge to your dreams. Your job is to make the plan or bridge real, so that your dreams will become real. If all you do is stand on the side of the bank and dream of the other side, your dreams will forever be just dreams.

Dreamers dream dreams and rich people create plans and build bridges to their dreams.

Empower your dreams with deadlines.

Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams. Govern your life by priorities not your pressures.

My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.

I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went.

I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

Everybody got a dream. What's the plan?

You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.

A goal without a deadline is just a dream.

If you don't have a plan, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, months turn into years, and before you know it you're looking back saying, I should've had a plan.

The hours from 7 to 12 are your time to build for the future before the world descends on you.

I remember getting advice like, "Oh, do what interests you. Don't worry about tomorrow, live for today," kind of thing. And to a degree, you've got to do that, you've got to follow your passions. You've got to follow your dreams, but you also have to have a plan. You can't just say I'm going to do what interests me today and I'm not going to worry about tomorrow, that doesn't work. And anyone who's tried that I think quickly finds that out. Think about what turns you on, what do you dream about? But along with that, make a plan and work hard to make it happen.

When you allow yourself to begin to dream big dreams, creatively abandon the activities that are taking up too much of your time, and focus your inward energies on alleviating your main constraints, you start to feel an incredible sense of power and confidence.

Whatever your dreams are, start taking them very, very seriously.

Goals are dreams we convert to plans and take action to fulfill.

With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.
