More quotes by Seth Godin
The resistance is the voice in your head telling you to use bullets in your PowerPoint slides...It’s the voice that tells you to leave controversial ideas out of the paper you’re writing, because the teacher won’t like them. The resistance pushes relentlessly for you to fit in.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Perhaps your challenge isn't finding a better project or a better boss. Perhaps you need to get in touch with what it means to feel passionate. People with passion look for ways to make things happen.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.
Seth Godin
A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.
Seth Godin
There are lots of good reasons to abandon a project. Having a little competition is not one of them.
Seth Godin
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
Seth Godin
Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
Seth Godin
If you don't like your definition of 'good enough', then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.
Seth Godin
The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.
Seth Godin
Busy does not equal important. Measured doesn't mean mattered.
Seth Godin
Instead of focusing on arguing with people who say no, it might be easier to get near the people who like to say yes.
Seth Godin
When your art fails, make better art.
Seth Godin
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Not adding value is the same as taking it away.
Seth Godin
Too often, we don't give people the opportunity to fill in the blanks.
Seth Godin
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
Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.
Seth Godin
Too often, the person who wrecks our work is us.
