Becoming a superstar takes about 10,000 hours of hard work.
Seth Godin
The goal of a marketing interaction isn't to close the sale, any more than the goal of a first date is to get married. No, the opportunity is to move forward, to earn attention and trust and curiosity and conversation.
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
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
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
The question isn’t whether or not you should wait to be picked, the question is whether you care enough to pick yourself.

Learning is not watching a video, learning is taking action and seeing what happens.
Seth Godin
Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
Seth Godin
It's much easier to spend a lot of time making your microphone louder than it is working on making your message more compelling.
Seth Godin
Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths... whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it's over
Seth Godin
The only long-term motivation is self motivation. So hire people who are self motivated and get out of their way.
Seth Godin
A brilliant author or businesswoman or senator or software engineer is brilliant only in tiny bursts. The rest of the time, they’re doing work that most any trained person could do.
Seth Godin
Many people believe that great designers get great clients. It's the other way around.
Seth Godin
You dont need to convince everyone. All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you.
Seth Godin
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
Seth Godin
I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else.
Seth Godin
Not only are bloggers suckers for the remarkable, so are the people who read blogs.
Seth Godin
Evolution is the most popular way we have for dealing with change.
Seth Godin
Marketing begins before the product is launched.
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.
