More quotes by 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.

Think different in order to change the rules. By definition, if you don't change the rules you aren't a revolutionary, and if you don't think different, you won't change the rules.
Guy Kawasaki
The hard part is implementing the decision, not making it.
Guy Kawasaki

The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
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 truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities. Pick something, because saying you have no competition at all is a nonstarter.
Guy Kawasaki
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.
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
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.
