If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
Seth Godin
Image
There's a huge difference between being a replaceable cog on the assembly line and being the one who is missed, the one with a unique contribution, the one who made a difference.
Seth Godin
Image
The innovator creates a business where they are making money, even when they sleep.
Seth Godin
Image
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we're wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.

If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.

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
Image
Don’t be different just to be different. Be different to be better.
Seth Godin
Image
If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
Seth Godin
Image
The problem with taking offense is that it's really hard to figure out what to do with it after you're done using it. Better to just leave it on the table and walk away. Umbrage untaken quietly disappears.
Seth Godin
Image
Rehearsing failure is simply a bad habit, not a productive use of your time. When you choose to visualize the path that works, you're more likely to shore it up and create an environment where it can take place.
Seth Godin
Image
It's not an accident that successful people read more books.
Seth Godin
Image
Nobody says, 'Yeah, I'd like to set myself up for some serious criticism!' And yet, the only way to be remarkable is to do just that.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid.

Remember the Bob Dylan rule: it's not just a record, it's a movement.

Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work.
