More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Arguably, in business books, I don't think there's much that has never been said before.
Guy Kawasaki
Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.
Guy Kawasaki
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.
Guy Kawasaki
Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck.
Guy Kawasaki
For me writing is as close to being an engineer as possible.
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.
Guy Kawasaki
The telephone operator has one of the biggest roles in creating your organization's image....indeed, many people may come into contact with no one except your operator.
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
Customers can tell you how to evolve a product, but they can't show you how to make a leap.
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
Hockey is the only thing that I'm not good at that I love.
Guy Kawasaki
If you start out to solely make money, you will attract the wrong kind of employees.
Guy Kawasaki
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.
Guy Kawasaki
A magnificent cause can overcome a prickly personality, but your ability to enchant people increases if they like you, so you should aspire to both. You’ll know that you’re likeable when you can communicate freely, casually, and comfortably with people.
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales. Enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better. The difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person's best interests at heart, too.
Guy Kawasaki
Sales fixes everything.
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
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
Frequently, crashes are followed with a message like 'ID 02'. 'ID' is an abbreviation for idiosyncrasy and the number that follows indicates how many more months of testing the product should have had.
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
