More quotes by Seth Godin
Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.
Seth Godin
Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.
Seth Godin
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
Seth Godin
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
Seth Godin
Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.
Seth Godin
The only long-term motivation is self motivation. So hire people who are self motivated and get out of their way.
Seth Godin
Too often, the person who wrecks our work is us.
Seth Godin
Once you have permission to talk to someone, finding new products or services for them is a smart way to grow.
Seth Godin
All good ideas are terrible... Until people realize they are obvious. If you're not willing to live through the terrible stage, you'll never get to the obvious part.
Seth Godin
The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.
Seth Godin
If you can influence the outcome, do the work. If you can't influence the outcome, ignore the possibility. It's merely a distraction.
Seth Godin
I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.
Seth Godin
The combination of passion and art is what makes someone a linchpin.
Seth Godin
We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. Remarkable, as you've already figured out, demands initiative.
Seth Godin
All great programmers learn the same way. They poke the box. They code something and see what the computer does. They change it and see what the computer does. They repeat the process again and again until they figure out how the box works.
Seth Godin
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.
Seth Godin
No more than six words on a slide. Ever. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.
Seth Godin
Perhaps your challenge isn't finding a better project or a better boss. Perhaps you need to get in touch with what it means to feel passionate. People with passion look for ways to make things happen.
Seth Godin
Ideas that spread win.
Seth Godin
Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
