More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
If you use social media right, you will piss people off. It's actually recommended!
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales
Guy Kawasaki
The more popular a person thinks he is in the blogosphere, the thinner his skin and the thicker his hypocrisy. This should be exactly the opposite: the higher you go the thicker the skin and thinner the hypocrisy.
Guy Kawasaki
The self-edited author is as foolish as the self-medicated patient.
Guy Kawasaki
The telephone operator has one of the biggest roles in creating your organization's image....indeed, many people may come into contact with no one except your operator.
Guy Kawasaki
If you just enchanted one person per day, you would make a big dent in the universe.
Guy Kawasaki
An MBA is a great degree for career paths like investment banking, finance, consulting, and large companies. An MBA is not necessarily the right path for starting a tech company. You should be building a prototype, not getting an MBA in that case.
Guy Kawasaki
And this is the beginning of the end.
Guy Kawasaki
You need to earn the right to promote.
Guy Kawasaki
People who earn the label creative are really just people who come up with more combinations of ideas, find interesting ones faster, and are willing to try them out. The problem is that most schools and organizations train us out of those habits.
Guy Kawasaki
The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning to create a product or service to make the world a better place.
Guy Kawasaki
When you’ve worked hard and done well and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.
Guy Kawasaki
You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash-it requires long distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.
Guy Kawasaki
A magnificent cause can overcome a prickly personality, but your ability to enchant people increases if they like you, so you should aspire to both. You’ll know that you’re likeable when you can communicate freely, casually, and comfortably with people.
Guy Kawasaki
I think that no one, or very few, are born as good presenters. It's a skill that you learn.
Guy Kawasaki
My real mantra for my life is empower others.
Guy Kawasaki
Jolt is for Windows programmers. It's typical IBM PC: it goes in brown and comes out yellow. Mountain Dew is for Macintosh programmers: it goes in yellow and comes out yellow. It's WYSIWYP.
Guy Kawasaki
Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.
Guy Kawasaki
When you give people too many choices it makes them hesitate and not buy stuff.
Guy Kawasaki
Most of my life is over. I am going to enjoy my family and friends before any of us depart this earth. I'll never start another company. I'll never work long hours again. At this point in my life, I only answer to God, my wife, and my kids. Everything else is secondary - especially the expectations of strangers.
