Everything They Didn't Teach You in Music School
The distance between what you're doing and what it is you want is as thin as the thread that sews on your button. It is a matter of your tenacity, your courage, your honesty about your ability, and your gratitude. You can pretty much accomplish what's on your mind.—@hwinkler4real pic.twitter.com/lwtsfwVT6A

Oh man if I were the tattoo type and I was looking for a really long tattoo this would be a good candidate! I love how one good quote can fire me the hell up!
(You can listen to the entire Henry Winkler interview with James Altucher from which that quote is taken plus read a summary of the best points he makes here.)

This interview is worth the time (it's long!) They go so long in part one (that the above tweet links to) that they did a second part the following week.
Really great, actionable advice on how to start a business. Ramit is one of my favorite entrepreneurs and James is one of my favorite interviewers.
Don't miss this!

I am going to start a new series of posts here at the TEM blog called "What I'm Listening To".
I listen to a whole lot of podcasts. I listen to a podcast every day. I also host two of them with a third on the way. I can't get enough of them as an incredible source of completely free information.
I recently stumbled upon The James Altucher Show. He is an incredible interviewer and thinker. He always asks the question you want him to ask next which is the biggest compliment I can give to an interviewer.
Episode 159 features a discussion with Derek Sivers, one of my favorites. I will be shocked if this interview doesn't get you fired up to create what you were meant to create. Can't recommend this interview enough.
(Side note: This interview contains the best quote about goal-setting I've ever heard. He absolutely nails the you know what out of it.)

(Another side note: The blog post that James put together at the above link about the interview is worth the click even if you don't plan on listening to the interview. Good stuff.)
