Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
Seth Godin

The danger of the Web is that you can go from idea to public announcement in under ten minutes.

If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome. You can't merely wing it and expect to keep up with them.

You can't have good ideas unless you're willing to generate a lot of bad ones.
Seth Godin
Image
The digital asset that matters is trust. Awareness first, then interaction, and maybe a habit, but all three mean nothing if they don't lead to permission and trust. The privilege of connection. Everything else is slippery.
Seth Godin
Image
That the horrible Zika virus or HIV, we can look at what it means to be patient zero, what it means to need not much contact to spread, and all of those things follow into the way ideas spread.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

There's no map for being an artist.
Seth Godin
Image
A bully is playing a game, one that he or she enjoys and needs. You're welcome to play this game if it makes you happy, but for most people, it will make you miserable.
Seth Godin
Image
When your art fails, make better art.
Seth Godin
Image
If the game is designed for you to lose, don't play that game. Play a different one.
Seth Godin
Image
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.

Leadership is a choice. It's the choice not to do nothing.
