Derek Sivers Quotes

I’m not interested until I see their execution Picture Quote #1

Ideas are just a multiplier of execution Picture Quote #1

Are you helping people? Are they happy? Are you happy? Are you profitable? Isn’t that enough? Picture Quote #1

The most important lesson is probably to spend less than you earn Picture Quote #1

I realized why I need to start a new company. Not for the money. Not because I’m ‘bored’. But because a company is a laboratory to try your ideas Picture Quote #1

The purpose of money is to trade for things that make you happy. So if you can bypass money and get directly to the happy, you’ve saved a lot of trouble. And it makes others happier, too, when you organize your business around non-monetary things Picture Quote #1

Go find very early versions of things: the first TV pilot of a later-successful TV show; early audition tapes by famous actors; early demos by famous musicians. Focus on these early examples, not what they became over the next 20 years. Remember that what you’re doing will constantly improve Picture Quote #1

Pay close attention to when you’re being the real you and when you’re trying to impress an invisible jury Picture Quote #1

I’m so into music that I just stop and listen, whenever there’s music on. That’s the problem with being a musician for so long. I can get lost in the bassline, fascinated with the arrangement, curious about the production. I can’t shut it out Picture Quote #1

Don’t be on your deathbed someday, having squandered your one chance at life, full of regret because you pursued little distractions instead of big dreams Picture Quote #1

Let’s never forget that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear, that the opposite may also be true Picture Quote #1

Business is not about money. It’s about making dreams come true for others and for yourself Picture Quote #1

It’s only a little difficult to say no. You’ve got to believe that the work you’re doing is ultimately more useful to the world Picture Quote #1

There are plenty of millionaires who would pay millions to hang a Van Gogh painting on the wall, but hardly one that would have ever had the crazy nut over for dinner. I feel like the big companies are like that with musicians. They’ll say, ‘We love music! It’s all about the music!’ - but if a musician shows up at the door, they call security Picture Quote #1

A work-only zone does wonders for your productivity. So, I prefer working at the office now. I spend 8 focused hours there, then I go home to be present with my family Picture Quote #1

Never forget why you’re really doing what you’re doing Picture Quote #1

When you make a business you’re making a little world Picture Quote #1

Whatever excites you, go do it. Whatever drains you, stop doing it Picture Quote #1

You can’t please everyone, so proudly exclude people Picture Quote #1

Customer service is the new marketing Picture Quote #1

If it’s not a hit, switch Picture Quote #1

Care about your customers more than about yourself, and you’ll do well Picture Quote #1

It was the first follower that transformed the lone nut into a leader Picture Quote #1

Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself Picture Quote #1

The single most important thing is to make people happy. If you are making people happy, as a side effect, they will be happy to open up their wallets and pay you Picture Quote #1

If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow. And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in Picture Quote #1

Repeated psychology tests have proven that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen Picture Quote #1

Don’t be on your deathbed someday, having squandered your one chance at life, full of regret because you pursued little distractions instead of big dreams Picture Quote #1

Let’s never forget that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear, that the opposite may also be true Picture Quote #1
