I'm a lousy predictor of the future.
Guy Kawasaki
'Branding' has taken on too much of a role as a specialized craft performed by voodoo artists.
Guy Kawasaki
Most venture capitalists won't read a business plan unless the entrepreneur is introduced to them by a contact.
Guy Kawasaki
The hard part is implementing the decision, not making it.

A 50-year-old company can innovate as well as two guys/gals in a garage.

You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash-it requires long distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.
Guy Kawasaki
If you're in enough places at enough times, then some of them are bound to be the right ones.
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
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
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
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
It doesn't matter whether the Dow is 5000 or 50,000. If you're an entrepreneur, there is no bad time to start a company.
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
I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales
Guy Kawasaki
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Guy Kawasaki
You have to sit by the side of a river a very long time before a roast duck will fly into your mouth.
Guy Kawasaki
I learned how difficult it is to self-publish a book. It's complex, it's confusing, it's idiosyncratic.
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.
