Why you should listen

Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.

In 2008, Sivers sold CD Baby to focus on his new ventures to benefit musicians, including his new company, MuckWork, where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their "uncreative dirty work."

Čim smislimo fantastičan novi životni plan, odmah ga poželimo nekome reći, ali Derek Sivers kaže kako ga je bolje sačuvati za sebe. Upoznaje nas sa znanstvenim istraživanjima još od 1920-ih koja pokazuju kako ljudi koji govore o svojim namjerama rjeđe ih i ostvare.

smanjujemo šansu da ih ostvarimo.
00:59
Any time you have a goalcilj,
18
44000
2000
Kady god si postavite cilj
01:01
there are some stepskoraci that need to be doneučinio, some work that needspotrebe to be doneučinio
