The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.

More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
The hard part is implementing the decision, not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
For startups, SM is now crucial: it has never been cheaper and easier to reach one's customers. Entrepreneurs should thank God for Twitter, Facebook.
Guy Kawasaki
The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
Best way to succeed is to do things for the customer, not to the competition. Very few people buy a product in order to help you hurt the competition. To think otherwise is lunacy.
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
Better to fail at doing the right thing than to succeed at doing the wrong thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Pursue joy, not happiness. This is probably the hardest lesson of all to learn. It probably seems to you that the goal in life is to be happy. Oh, you maybe have to sacrifice and study and work hard, but, by and large, happiness should be predictable.
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
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. At this point in my life, I only answer to God, my wife, and my kids. Everything else is secondary - especially the expectations of strangers.
Guy Kawasaki
The essence of evangelism is to passionately show people how you can make history together.
Guy Kawasaki
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.
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.

Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing is therapeutic. It helps you cope with issues that seem gargantuan at the time. The process of expressing yourself about a problem, editing your thoughts, and writing some more can help you control issues that you face.
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
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.
Guy Kawasaki
What I lack in talent, I compensate with my willingness to grind it out.
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales
Guy Kawasaki
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.

Simple and to the point is always the best way to get your point across.
