More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Don't ask people to do something you wouldn't.

One must understand what people are thinking, feeling and believing in order to enchant them.
Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Companies should always want to delight their customers.
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
If you're in enough places at enough times, then some of them are bound to be the right ones.
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.
