More quotes by 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
High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.
Guy Kawasaki
When you’ve worked hard and done well and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.
Guy Kawasaki
A 50-year-old company can innovate as well as two guys/gals in a garage.
Guy Kawasaki
If you truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities. Pick something, because saying you have no competition at all is a nonstarter.
Guy Kawasaki
Sales fixes everything.
Guy Kawasaki
If achieving success were easy, more people would do it.
Guy Kawasaki
For me writing is as close to being an engineer as possible.
Guy Kawasaki
Companies should always want to delight their customers.
Guy Kawasaki
Original visions are often wrong. Companies have to morph as they learn what customers don't want.
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
I'm a lousy predictor of the future.
Guy Kawasaki
My real mantra for my life is empower others.
Guy Kawasaki
You really can't spend money on social media unless you really try. Social media is really more about effort than expense.
Guy Kawasaki
Just be nice, take genuine interest in the people you meet, and keep in touch with people you like. This will create a group of people who are invested in helping you because they know you and appreciate you.
Guy Kawasaki
The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless--most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn't even graduate from college.
Guy Kawasaki
Create something, sell it, make it better, sell it some more and then create something that obsoletes what you used to make.
Guy Kawasaki
The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
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.
