You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
This notion that it is up to each person to innovation in some way flies in the face of the industrial age, but you know what, the industrial age is over.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

No more than six words on a slide. Ever. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.
Seth Godin

Marketing is the art of seeing (and then creating) what might be interesting to more than our friends
Seth Godin
Image
You don't need more time in your day. You need to decide.
Seth Godin
Image
Developing expertise or assets that are not easily copied is essential otherwise you're just a middleman.
Seth Godin
Image
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
What I mean by art is the human act of doing something that connects us to someone else
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
If you don't require the journey to be easy or comfortable or safe, you can change the world.
Seth Godin
Image
If you don't like your definition of 'good enough', then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.
Seth Godin
Image
If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
Seth Godin
Image
If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
Doing justice to the work is your task, not setting a world record.
Seth Godin
Image
If you can't sell to 1 in 1000, why market to a million?

Don't fix me Love me for what's broken.
