More quotes by Seth Godin
Facts are irrelevant. What matters is what the consumer believes.
Seth Godin
The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else. It might be the competition or a technology or the lousy things that someone did a decade ago. None of it is going to get better as a result of revisiting the grudge.
Seth Godin
As creators, our pursuit of perfection might be misguided, particularly if it comes at the expense of the things that matter.
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. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map.
Seth Godin
What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?
Seth Godin
All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.
Seth Godin
This notion that it is up to each person to innovation in some way flies in the face of the industrial age, but you know what, the industrial age is over.
Seth Godin
Don't try to be the 'next'. Instead, try to be the other, the changer, the new.
Seth Godin
Just as we don't spend a lot of time worrying about how all those poets out there are going to monetize their poetry, the same is true for most bloggers.
Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
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
Teaching young people to sell is a priceless gift.
Seth Godin
If you're in the idea business, it doesn't matter where you're from. It matters if we care about the change you're making.
Seth Godin
If you try to delight the undelightable, you've made yourself miserable for no reason.
Seth Godin
If it's work, we try to figure out how to do less, If it's art, we try to figure out how to do more
Seth Godin
A brand that stands for what all brands stand for stands for nothing much.
Seth Godin
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
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
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.
Seth Godin
Art is the work of a human, an individual seeking to make a statement, to cause a reaction, to connect. Art is something new, every time, and art might not work, precisely because it's new, because it's human and because it seeks to connect.
