In his 20s, Tim's success mantra was -
• Join a company in a growing industry
• Observe and learn as much as one can from growth of the company
• Use the learning's to apply to your own company
After persistent cold emails - he got a job as a seller at the tech startup.

He's had tremendous success picking up new 'hobbies'. For eg - picking up tango in Argentina casually and then getting his name on the Guinness Book of World Record for most consecutive tango spins.
His technique to pick-up new fields and master them -
• meticulously research and take notes on experts/systems
• practice and persistence while closely observing your practice sessions
• realize that you will hit an inflection point with a new skill. fight through it.

Just as many other successful people do - he enjoys experimenting with new things just to see if they're possible.
Like the time he experimented with holding his breath under water even though he's had complications with his lung due to a complication at birth.
