More quotes by Seth Godin
The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
Seth Godin
You market when you hire and when you fire. You market when you call tech support, and you market every time you send a memo.
Seth Godin
It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.
Seth Godin
Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.
Seth Godin
Why do we value leadership, connection and grace? Because it's scarce, and that scacity creates value.
Seth Godin
By all means, fire the customers who aren't worth the time and the trouble. But understand that the moment you insist the customer is wrong, you've just started the firing process.
Seth Godin
Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.
Seth Godin
Not adding value is the same as taking it away.
Seth Godin
Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
Seth Godin
If you treat your employees like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and regularly throw crap on them), it's entirely likely you will get precisely the work you deserve in return.
Seth Godin
Your drudgery is another person's delight. It's only a job if you treat it that way. The privilege to do our work, to be in control of the promises we make and the things we build, is something worth cherishing.
Seth Godin
Marketing yourself to a new person often involves being charismatic, clever and quick-but most jobs and most relationships are about being consistent, persistent and brave.
Seth Godin
Two different things: A crowd is a tribe without a leader. A crowd is a tribe without communication. Most organizations spend their time marketing to the crowd. Smart organizations assemble the tribe.
Seth Godin
Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.
Seth Godin
You can't lose. Go, go, go!
Seth Godin
Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
Seth Godin
Entertainment has seduced us into believing that we have a chance to live the life they live in the movies. Even the people in the movies don't live that life. It doesn't take 135 minutes to make a life, it takes almost a century. Everything doesn't depend on what happens in the next ninety seconds. Ever.
Seth Godin
I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else.
Seth Godin
Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
Seth Godin
You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day.
