If you can raise money, you're never going to have trouble getting a job.
Seth Godin
If you work in an urgent-only culture, the only solution is to make the right things urgent.
Seth Godin
I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.
Seth Godin
Don't try to be the 'next'. Instead, try to be the other, the changer, the new.
Seth Godin
If it's work, we try to figure out how to do less, If it's art, we try to figure out how to do more
Seth Godin
The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it.
Seth Godin
Perhaps your challenge isn't finding a better project or a better boss. Perhaps you need to get in touch with what it means to feel passionate. People with passion look for ways to make things happen.
Seth Godin
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.
Seth Godin
Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do.
Seth Godin
Becoming a superstar takes about 10,000 hours of hard work.
Seth Godin
Big ideas are little ideas that no-one killed too soon.
Seth Godin
Playing safe is very risky.
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
No one can be responsible for where or how we each begin. No one has the freedom to do anything or everything, and all choices bring consequences. What we choose to do next, though, how to spend our resources or attention or effort, this is what defines us.
Seth Godin
Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.
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
We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.
Seth Godin
Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
Seth Godin
It's entirely possible that there won't be a standing ovation at the end of your journey. That's okay. At least you lived.
Seth Godin
The essence of marketing today is to tell a story to people who want to hear it, in a way that resonates with them so they are likely to either respond or connect to you, or tell their friends.
