More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Defy the crowd. The crowd isn’t always wise. It can also lead you down a path of silliness, sub-optimal choices, and downright destruction. Enchantment is as necessary for people to diverge from a crowd as it is to get people to join one.
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
Take my word for it: More people will like you if you believe that people are good until proven bad.
Guy Kawasaki
If you just enchanted one person per day, you would make a big dent in the universe.
Guy Kawasaki
I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
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
Hockey is the only thing that I'm not good at that I love.
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
Simple and to the point is always the best way to get your point across.
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.
Guy Kawasaki
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
Arguably, in business books, I don't think there's much that has never been said before.
Guy Kawasaki
The first good reason to write a book is to add value to people’s lives.
Guy Kawasaki
Jolt is for Windows programmers. It's typical IBM PC: it goes in brown and comes out yellow. Mountain Dew is for Macintosh programmers: it goes in yellow and comes out yellow. It's WYSIWYP.
Guy Kawasaki
Looking back on my own career, I've come to the conclusion that too much money is worse than too little.
Guy Kawasaki
Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.
Guy Kawasaki
The self-edited author is as foolish as the self-medicated patient.
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
Instant success are seldom instant and if you talk to the people behind these successes, you'll find out that they came after months of fear, uncertainty and confusion along with a flagrant lack of adoption.
