More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Revolutionary leaders have to care more about what they think of themselves than what the world thinks of them.
Guy Kawasaki
At the end of my life, I want to say that I made the world a better place because I raised good children, loved my wife, and empowered entrepreneurs. If I do these things, then I can rest knowing that I made the world a better place.
Guy Kawasaki
The essence of evangelism is to passionately show people how you can make history together.
Guy Kawasaki
Customers can tell you how to evolve a product, but they can't show you how to make a leap.
Guy Kawasaki
There are two types of people on social media: people who want more followers, and liars.
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
Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players B players hire C players and C players hire D players. It doesn't take long to get to Z players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies.
Guy Kawasaki
If you start out to solely make money, you will attract the wrong kind of employees.
Guy Kawasaki
The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless--most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn't even graduate from college.
Guy Kawasaki
Go APE: Author a great book, Publish it quickly, and Entrepreneur your way to success. Self-publishing isn’t easy, but it’s fun and sometimes even lucrative. Plus, your book could change the world.
Guy Kawasaki
If you want to make a good first impression, smile at people. What does it cost to smile? Nothing. What does it cost not to smile? Everything, if not smiling prevents you from enchanting people.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing a book is as different from digital curation as night and day. Digital curation is a series of split-second decisions: good/no good. It can even be done algorithmically. Writing is process-intensive activity.
Guy Kawasaki
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.
Guy Kawasaki
I learned how difficult it is to self-publish a book. It's complex, it's confusing, it's idiosyncratic.
Guy Kawasaki
For me, while writing I am an engineer, so if I decide to change the format, I want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything I want to do, I just boot words, and I do what I want to do. So, I feel completely empowered when I'm a writer.
Guy Kawasaki
Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.
Guy Kawasaki
And this is the beginning of the end.
Guy Kawasaki
Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.
Guy Kawasaki
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.
Guy Kawasaki
If you just enchanted one person per day, you would make a big dent in the universe.
