More quotes by 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 higher you go in a company, the less oxygen there is, so supporting intelligent life becomes difficult.
Guy Kawasaki
Original visions are often wrong. Companies have to morph as they learn what customers don't want.
Guy Kawasaki
The record of what you do is forever recoverable because of Google. The lofty upside and scary downside makes reciprocity more important than ever. This is all good because it makes people think more before they do something that reduces their trustworthiness.
Guy Kawasaki
Most venture capitalists won't read a business plan unless the entrepreneur is introduced to them by a contact.
Guy Kawasaki
If achieving success were easy, more people would do it.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't want to make more friends. I have four kids, I have plenty of friends, and all the personal relationships I need.
Guy Kawasaki
Take my word for it: More people will like you if you believe that people are good until proven bad.
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
Provide good content and you’ll earn the right to promote your product.
Guy Kawasaki
The essence of evangelism is to passionately show people how you can make history together.
Guy Kawasaki
There are two types of people on social media: people who want more followers, and liars.
Guy Kawasaki
At the end of my life, is it better to say that I empowered people to make great stuff, or that I died with a net worth of $10 billion? Obviously I'm picking the former, although I would not mind both.
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
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.
Guy Kawasaki
For me writing is as close to being an engineer as possible.
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
Enchantment can be done with writing but I think enchantment is basically a prospective or an operating system for life. That you can enchant a person who is assigning your airplane seat, your hotel room, your waiter, your waitress.
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
Hockey is the only thing that I'm not good at that I love.
