More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Don't ask people to do something you wouldn't.
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales
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
Knowledge is great. Competence is great. But the combination of both encourages people to trust you and increases your powers of enchantment. And in this world, the combination is a breath of fresh air.
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
Most venture capitalists won't read a business plan unless the entrepreneur is introduced to them by a contact.
Guy Kawasaki
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.
Guy Kawasaki
High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.
Guy Kawasaki
Simple and to the point is always the best way to get your point across.
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
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
My real mantra for my life is empower others.
Guy Kawasaki
Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.
Guy Kawasaki
Disorganizatio n is the enemy of good writing.
Guy Kawasaki
One must understand what people are thinking, feeling and believing in order to enchant them.
Guy Kawasaki
At the end of the day in business, it's not about peer review and getting into a scientific journal. You either increase sales, or not.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing is the starting point from which all goodness (and crappiness) flows.
Guy Kawasaki
Looking back on my own career, I've come to the conclusion that too much money is worse than too little.
Guy Kawasaki
I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
Guy Kawasaki
How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
