More quotes by 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
Original visions are often wrong. Companies have to morph as they learn what customers don't want.
Guy Kawasaki
I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
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
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.
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
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
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
One must understand what people are thinking, feeling and believing in order to enchant them.
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
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
Enchantment can be done with writing but I think enchantment is basically a prospective or an operating system for life. That you can enchant a person who is assigning your airplane seat, your hotel room, your waiter, your waitress.
Guy Kawasaki
The Future belongs to those who can spread ideas.
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
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.
Guy Kawasaki
Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players B players hire C players and C players hire D players. It doesn't take long to get to Z players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies.
Guy Kawasaki
An editor who is a mentor, advisor, and psychiatrist. Don't kid yourself-a good editor will make your book better.
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
Do you know what the difference is between PR and advertising? Advertising is when you say how great you are. PR is when other people say how great you are. PR is better.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't want to make more friends. I have four kids, I have plenty of friends, and all the personal relationships I need.
