You succeed because you've chosen to be confident. It's not really useful to require yourself to be successful before you're able to become confident.
Seth Godin
Image
No, the only way to know what people think is to watch what they do, not what they say. Do they come back for more? Do you cause them to change their behavior? Can you make them smile?
Seth Godin

In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.

People get good gigs because they stand up....You don't get picked. Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.

Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you male, but about the stories you tell.
Seth Godin
Image
I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit's way of whispering, I'm in flux. I can't decide for you. Something is off-balance here.

It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.

If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.

Our best work can't possibly appeal to the average masses, only our average work can. Finding the humility to happily walk away from those that don't get it unlocks our ability to do great work.

A symptom of the revolution: When we state something is impossible in theory, but then change our minds when we discover that it is possible in practice.

Marketing is the way your people answer the phone, the typesetting on your bills and your return policy.
Seth Godin
Image
Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.
Seth Godin
Image
Self sufficiency appears to be a worthy goal, but it's now impossible if you want to actually get anything done. All our productivity, leverage and insight comes from being part of a community, not apart from it. The goal, I think, is to figure out how to become more dependent, not less.

Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.

Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.

What tribes are, is a very simple concept that goes back 50 million years. It's about leading and connecting people and ideas. And it's something that people have wanted forever.

Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.

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.
