More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
An MBA is a great degree for career paths like investment banking, finance, consulting, and large companies. An MBA is not necessarily the right path for starting a tech company. You should be building a prototype, not getting an MBA in that case.
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
The root of great companies is make meaning vs. make money.
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
Sales fixes everything.
Guy Kawasaki
Doing, not learning to do, is the essence of entrepreneurship.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing a book isn’t an easy process nor is it always enjoyable, but it is one of life’s most satisfying achievements.

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
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
Evangelism is selling a dream.
Guy Kawasaki
High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.
Guy Kawasaki
Money is not the sole or most powerful motivation for many people. A higher and tougher test is to look back and see how you've made the world a better place.
Guy Kawasaki
If you're in enough places at enough times, then some of them are bound to be the right ones.
Guy Kawasaki
The record of what you do is forever recoverable because of Google. The lofty upside and scary downside makes reciprocity more important than ever. This is all good because it makes people think more before they do something that reduces their trustworthiness.
Guy Kawasaki
My real mantra for my life is empower others.
Guy Kawasaki
Better to fail at doing the right thing than to succeed at doing the wrong thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
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.
