Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.

More quotes by Seth Godin
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
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
Personalizatio n wasn't supposed to be a cleverly veiled way to chase prospects around the web, showing them the same spammy ad for the same lame stuff as everyone else sees. No, it is a chance to differentiate at a human scale, to use behavior as the most important clue about what people want and more important, what they need.
Seth Godin
The market and the consumer and idea trump the system.
Seth Godin
If you're working with a spreadsheet or a thread of correspondence or a set of data, I'm not sure you're doing your best work if you're doing it on an iPhone.
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.

Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
Seth Godin
What I learned: Shun nonbelievers. Ignore critics. Do your best for people who want to dance with you.
Seth Godin
The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.
Seth Godin
An organization filled with honest, motivated, connected, eager, learning, experimenting, ethical and driven people will always defeat the one that merely has talent. Every time.
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
After you produce you can select. you can curate. you can censor. But for now, have bad ideas, lots and lots of bad ideas.
Seth Godin
When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
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
If you work in an urgent-only culture, the only solution is to make the right things urgent.
Seth Godin
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.
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.

The enemy of fear is creativity.

Mostly, the best way to be the next Mark Zuckerberg is to make difficult choices.

You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
