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.

Most of my life is over. I am going to enjoy my family and friends before any of us depart this earth. I'll never start another company. I'll never work long hours again.

Customers can tell you how to evolve a product, but they can't show you how to make a leap.
Guy Kawasaki
The hard part is implementing the decision, not making it.
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
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
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.
