More quotes by Seth Godin
I see things differently when I'm focused on opening doors for other people, and more often than not, my doors are opened as well.
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
People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame.
Seth Godin
Our best work can't possibly appeal to the average masses, only our average work can. Finding the humility to happily walk away from those that don't get it unlocks our ability to do great work.
Seth Godin
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
Seth Godin
Effort is its own reward if you allow it to be.
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
It's easy to pretend expertise when there's no data to contradict you.
Seth Godin
Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.
Seth Godin
Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.
Seth Godin
So sure, start with a slogan. But don't bother wasting any time on it if you're merely going for catchy. Aim for true instead.
Seth Godin
No is the foundation that we can build our yes on.
Seth Godin
I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.
Seth Godin
The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.
Seth Godin
The thing is, the future happens. Every single day, like it or not. Sure, tomorrow is risky, frightening and in some way represents one step closer to the end. But it also brings with it the possibility of better and the chance to do something that matters.
Seth Godin
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
Seth Godin
The application process changes the list of who applies. Your applicants reflect your methods.
Seth Godin
If you don't require the journey to be easy or comfortable or safe, you can change the world.
Seth Godin
Think big. Start small.
