You really can't spend money on social media unless you really try. Social media is really more about effort than expense.

Evangelism is selling a dream.

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
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
Just do what's right for the customer, and you'll be okay.
Guy Kawasaki
People are free or cheap. Marketing: using Twitter or blogs. Cheap or free. Infrastructure: call up Amazon, call up Rackspace, terabytes of data in the clouds, thousand dollars, two thousand dollars.
Guy Kawasaki
Frequently, crashes are followed with a message like 'ID 02'. 'ID' is an abbreviation for idiosyncrasy and the number that follows indicates how many more months of testing the product should have had.
Guy Kawasaki
I want to know which idea you're going to kill yourself trying to make successful, not which ideas have crossed your idle mind.
Guy Kawasaki
The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
Don’t be discouraged by the size of your network – inspire one person and you are doing good.
Guy Kawasaki
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.
Guy Kawasaki
Customers can tell you how to evolve a product, but they can't show you how to make a leap.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't need the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.
Guy Kawasaki
It doesn't matter whether the Dow is 5000 or 50,000. If you're an entrepreneur, there is no bad time to start a company.
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.
