More quotes by Seth Godin
Before you tell yourself you have no right to invent this or improve that, remind yourself that the person before you had no right either, but did it anyway.
Seth Godin
I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.
Seth Godin
Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over.
Seth Godin
Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
Seth Godin
Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
Seth Godin
Busy does not equal important. Measured doesn't mean mattered.
Seth Godin
Many people are starting to realize that they work a lot and that working on stuff they believe in (and making things happen) is much more satisfying then just getting a paycheck and waiting to get fired (or die).
Seth Godin
One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.
Seth Godin
The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
Seth Godin
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
Seth Godin
Our job is to make change. Our job is to connect to people, to interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them, more able to get where they'd like to go. Every time we waste that opportunity, every page or sentence that doesn't do enough to advance the cause is waste.
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
When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.
Seth Godin
Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.
Seth Godin
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...Th e reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Seth Godin
Here's the thing: The book that will most change your life is the book you write.
Seth Godin
Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.
Seth Godin
Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up.
Seth Godin
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
