If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.

More quotes by Seth Godin
The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.
Seth Godin
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
Seth Godin
No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it's true. On the other hand, it's only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by.
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
If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
Seth Godin
Build it, and they will come only works in the movies. Social Media is a build it, nurture it, engage them, and they may come and stay.
Seth Godin
A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.
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
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
Seth Godin
Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth Godin
And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.
Seth Godin
The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.
Seth Godin
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
Seth Godin
More time [to decide] without more information just creates anxiety, not insight.
Seth Godin
You don't win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training.
Seth Godin
Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone.
Seth Godin
The next thing you do today will be the most important thing on your agenda, because, after all, you're doing it next. Well, perhaps it will be the most urgent thing. Or the easiest. In fact, the most important thing probably isn't even on your agenda.
Seth Godin
The future of publishing is about having connections to readers and the knowledge of what those readers want.
Seth Godin
The less people know, the more they yell.
Seth Godin
