Once you free yourself from the need for perfect acceptance, it's a lot easier to launch work that matters.
Seth Godin

If you speak up online and your ideas have currency, people are going to show up and want to connect with you. What we need more of are people with the guts and emotional labour to do this. The greatest shortage in today's society is an instinct to produce.

Blaming the system is soothing because it lets you off the hook. But when the system is broken, we wonder why you were relying in the system in the first place.

Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.

Great boss is challenging people in the right way. Leading, not managing. Supporting them by giving them both a platform they can count on and expectations they can stretch for.
Seth Godin

The good news is that more than ever, value accrues to those that show up, those that make a difference, those that do work that matters.

Making promises and keeping them is a great way to build a brand.
Seth Godin

We live in a vague world. And it gets vaguer all the time. In this environment, the power of the specific, measurable and useful promise made and kept is difficult to overstate.

The Cul-de-Sac ( French for dead end ) ... is a situation where you work and work and work and nothing much changes
Seth Godin

In other words, If you don't take action, you won't get any results You are not your resume, you are your work
Seth Godin

Human beings, thanks to culture and genetics, are inclined to be pessimistic, fearful, skeptical and believers in conspiracy theories. We also don't like change.

I do not think you can get rid of the fear... but you can dance with it.
Seth Godin
Image
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...Th e reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
