Lack of resources (payroll), time and competing priorities are why so many nonprofits haven't done well. It's that simple.
Seth Godin
Low price is a great way to sell a commodity. That's not marketing though, that's efficiency.

Or, if I take that same auditorium and I make it much bigger and put more space between seats, it'll be quieter because it's much harder when you're not in physical contact with people to spread a virus from person-to-person, right? There are all sorts of patterns that we see in epidemiology that help us understand why something spreads.
Seth Godin
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?
Seth Godin
One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.
Seth Godin

Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it.

Seth Godin

Seth Godin
You can listen to what people say, sure. But you will be far more effective if you listen to what people do.
Seth Godin
Acknowledge to yourself that the factory job is dead. Having a factory job is not a natural state. It wasn't at the heart of being human until very recently. We've been culturally brainwashed.
Seth Godin
Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.
Seth Godin
If you want to get in shape, go to the # gym every single day, change your clothes and take a shower. If you can do that every single day for a month, pretty soon you'll start doing something while you're there.
Seth Godin
Basically you create your experience through your beliefs about yourself and the nature of reality. Another way to understand this is to realize that you create your experiences through your expectations.
Seth Godin
What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?
Seth Godin
Perhaps marketing is about to transition to a new kind of profession, one that requires insight, dedication and smarts.
Seth Godin
Where do you go to get permission to make a dent in the Universe ? If you think there's a chance you can make a dent, go !
Seth Godin
Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
