More quotes by 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
If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.
Seth Godin
No one knows more about the way you think than you do.
Seth Godin
Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.
Seth Godin
Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.
Seth Godin
You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome. You can't merely wing it and expect to keep up with them. Setting aside all the safety valves and pleasant distractions is the first way to send yourself the message that you're playing for keeps
Seth Godin
Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.
Seth Godin
The best marketing strategy is to destroy your industry before your competition does.
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
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.
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
Low price is a great way to sell a commodity. That's not marketing though, that's efficiency.
Seth Godin
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Treat different people differently. Anything else is a compromise.
Seth Godin
There's no correlation between how good your idea is and how likely your organization will be to embrace it.
Seth Godin
Surprise and delight and connection are remarkable.
Seth Godin
If you can’t state your position in eight words, you don’t have a position.
Seth Godin
Basically you create your experience through your beliefs about yourself and the nature of reality. Another way to understand this is to realize that you create your experiences through your expectations.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer a scarce commodity.
Seth Godin
As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus.
