Derek Sivers(@sivers) is one of my favorite humans, and I call
him often for advice. Think of him as a philosopher-king
programmer, master teacher, and merry prankster. Originally a
professional musician and circus clown (he did the latter to
counterbalance being introverted), Derek created CD Baby in 1998.
It became the largest seller of independent music online, with
$100 million in sales for 150,000 musicians. In 2008, Derek sold
CD Baby for $22 million, giving the proceeds to a charitable
trust for music education. He is a frequent speaker at the TED
Conference, with more than five million views of his talks. In
addition to publishing 33 books via his company Wood Egg, he is
the author of Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of
Entrepreneur, a collection of short life lessons that I've read
at least a dozen times. I still have an early draft with
highlights and notes. I posted the following on Facebook while
writing this chapter: "I might need to do a second volume of
[Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of
Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers], 100% dedicated
to the knowledge bombs of Derek Sivers. So much good stuff. Hard
to cut." Here's a bit of what made it into the first edition --
cherry-picked from the nuggets I've applied to my own life.
