More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Luck favors the people who are willing to grind it out.
Guy Kawasaki
People who earn the label creative are really just people who come up with more combinations of ideas, find interesting ones faster, and are willing to try them out. The problem is that most schools and organizations train us out of those habits.
Guy Kawasaki
Revolutionary leaders have to care more about what they think of themselves than what the world thinks of them.
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
You really can't spend money on social media unless you really try. Social media is really more about effort than expense.
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
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
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
Some things need to be believed to be seen.
Guy Kawasaki
The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
Guy Kawasaki
Doing, not learning to do, is the essence of entrepreneurship.
Guy Kawasaki
The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning to create a product or service to make the world a better place.
Guy Kawasaki
Most of my life is over. I am going to enjoy my family and friends before any of us depart this earth. I'll never start another company. I'll never work long hours again. At this point in my life, I only answer to God, my wife, and my kids. Everything else is secondary - especially the expectations of strangers.
Guy Kawasaki
One must understand what people are thinking, feeling and believing in order to enchant them.
Guy Kawasaki
Customers can tell you how to evolve a product, but they can't show you how to make a leap.
Guy Kawasaki
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.
Guy Kawasaki
Original visions are often wrong. Companies have to morph as they learn what customers don't want.
Guy Kawasaki
Most venture capitalists won't read a business plan unless the entrepreneur is introduced to them by a contact.
Guy Kawasaki
It's hard to build community around mediocre and mundane writing.
Guy Kawasaki
Pursue joy, not happiness. This is probably the hardest lesson of all to learn. It probably seems to you that the goal in life is to be happy. Oh, you maybe have to sacrifice and study and work hard, but, by and large, happiness should be predictable.
Guy Kawasaki
