More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
When I finally got a management position, I found out how hard it is to lead and manage people.
Guy Kawasaki
Don't worry, be crappy. Revolutionary means you ship and then test... Lots of things made the first Mac in 1984 a piece of crap - but it was a revolutionary piece of crap.
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
Companies should always want to delight their customers.
Guy Kawasaki
Original visions are often wrong. Companies have to morph as they learn what customers don't want.

Guy Kawasaki
When you enchant people, your goal is not to make money from them or to get them to do what you want, but to fill them with great delight.
Guy Kawasaki
The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
Guy Kawasaki
The essence of evangelism is to passionately show people how you can make history together.
Guy Kawasaki
Look back to the old days: people bought an MS DOS machine and struggled with it for weeks to bring it up to speed. Then Apple created Macintosh, struggled a bit with it, but eventually succeeded. Then it went into other businesses. If your company truly wants to change the world, it would make these problems go away for customers.

Guy Kawasaki
Just do what's right for the customer, and you'll be okay.
Guy Kawasaki
There are two types of people on social media: people who want more followers, and liars.
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
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're in enough places at enough times, then some of them are bound to be the right ones.
Guy Kawasaki
Luck favors the people who are willing to grind it out.
Guy Kawasaki
The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.
Guy Kawasaki
Disorganizatio n is the enemy of good writing.
Guy Kawasaki
Best way to succeed is to do things for the customer, not to the competition. Very few people buy a product in order to help you hurt the competition. To think otherwise is lunacy.
