More quotes by Seth Godin
Don’t be different just to be different. Be different to be better.
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
If there isn't a good reason, go home. If there is, then do something ... loud, now, and memorable.
Seth Godin
Once you free yourself from the need for perfect acceptance, it's a lot easier to launch work that matters.
Seth Godin
The market and the consumer and idea trump the system.
Seth Godin
I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.
Seth Godin
The opposite of coherent is interesting.
Seth Godin
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
Seth Godin
You don't become indispensable merely because you are different. But the only way to become indispensable is to be different. That's because if you're the same, so are plenty of other people.
Seth Godin
Dig your well before you're thirsty.
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
Everyone is not your customer.
Seth Godin
Laptop computers dramatically increased the time people spend doing work. (The internet dramatically decreased it, so we're even).
Seth Godin
The problem with requiring people to be loud and angry to get things done is that you're now surrounded by people who are loud and angry.
Seth Godin
Not adding value is the same as taking it away.
Seth Godin
Marketing begins before the product is launched.
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
If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.
Seth Godin
Marketing yourself to a new person often involves being charismatic, clever and quick-but most jobs and most relationships are about being consistent, persistent and brave.
Seth Godin
You want it to be hard. If it's hard, then that means others can't do it easily and you can charge for that value.
Seth Godin
