More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
And this is the beginning of the end.
Guy Kawasaki
Most venture capitalists won't read a business plan unless the entrepreneur is introduced to them by a contact.
Guy Kawasaki
The key to evangelism is a great product. It is easy, almost unavoidable, to catalyze evangelism for a great product. It is hard, almost impossible, to catalyze evangelism for crap.
Guy Kawasaki
Provide good content and you’ll earn the right to promote your product.
Guy Kawasaki
The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
The first good reason to write a book is to add value to people’s lives.
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
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
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
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
Accept diversity and don't take any crap.
Guy Kawasaki
Organizations are successful because of good implementation,not good business plans.
Guy Kawasaki
If you use social media right, you will piss people off. It's actually recommended!
Guy Kawasaki
Don't ask people to do something you wouldn't.
Guy Kawasaki
You have to sit by the side of a river a very long time before a roast duck will fly into your mouth.
Guy Kawasaki
Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.
Guy Kawasaki
The root of great companies is make meaning vs. make money.
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
A 50-year-old company can innovate as well as two guys/gals in a garage.
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales. Enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better. The difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person's best interests at heart, too.
