More quotes by 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
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
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Organizations are successful because of good implementation,not good business plans.

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
Look back to the old days: people bought an MS DOS machine and struggled with it for weeks to bring it up to speed. Then Apple created Macintosh, struggled a bit with it, but eventually succeeded. Then it went into other businesses. If your company truly wants to change the world, it would make these problems go away for customers.

Better to fail at doing the right thing than to succeed at doing the wrong thing.
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
And this is the beginning of the end.
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
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
Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck.
Guy Kawasaki
High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.
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
I don't need the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.
Guy Kawasaki
For me, while writing I am an engineer, so if I decide to change the format, I want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything I want to do, I just boot words, and I do what I want to do. So, I feel completely empowered when I'm a writer.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.
