More quotes by Seth Godin
We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.
Seth Godin
Go ahead, do something impossible.
Seth Godin
Fear is the workout we give ourselves imagining what will happen if things don't work out. . . . Worry is our effort to imagine every possible way to avoid the outcome that is causing us fear, and failing that, to survive the thing that we fear if it comes to fruition.
Seth Godin
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
You dont need to convince everyone. All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you.
Seth Godin
The tiny cost of failure...is dwarfed by the huge cost of not trying.
Seth Godin
If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.
Seth Godin
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.
Seth Godin
Marketing is the way your people answer the phone, the typesetting on your bills and your return policy.
Seth Godin
I do not think you can get rid of the fear... but you can dance with it.
Seth Godin
There's no life-work balance. I think you have to have the discipline to have the life you want to have. And if you are stealing from one part of your life in order to make the other part work, you are going to pay for it.
Seth Godin
It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.
Seth Godin
You can't lose. Go, go, go!
Seth Godin
The way you feel about giving money to good causes has a lot to do with the way you feel about money.
Seth Godin
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
Seth Godin
Things that look like shortcuts are actually detours (disguised as less work).
Seth Godin
Average feels safe but it's not. It's invisible.
Seth Godin
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
The way I understand gifts is that the giver must make a sacrifice, create an uneven exchange, bring himself closer to the recipient, create change and do it all with the right spirit.
