How To Be More Effective Than Efficient - Chris Guillebeau

The Better Questions

"Effectiveness is far more important than efficiency... If you're doing the right things, you can afford to be a little inefficient."

Bio

Chris Guillebeau is a New York Times bestselling author of several books, including The Art of Non-Conformity, The $100 Startup, The Happiness of Pursuit, Born for This, and Side Hustle.

Since then, he’s launched a daily podcast called Side Hustle School (downloaded 2 million times a month) and leads the incredible World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon every summer.

Highlights

In this episode, we talk about some of the most common questions Chris receives from his readers, the concept of anti-fragility, and how it’s better to do the right things poorly instead of the wrong things efficiently.

Behind the Scenes

Chris and I launched into a really honest conversation right away, so I didn’t press the record button until a few minutes in. So to preface this conversation... Chris is of course a very busy guy and so he shared that he often feels like he’s letting others down because there are so many moving pieces in his life and he feels like he’s often playing catch up (a feeling so many of us can relate to).
