I have something to say. I know how to do something. I’m doing it. If you want me to do it with you, raise your hand.
Seth Godin
Image
The habit of doing more than is necessary can only be earned through practice.
Seth Godin
Image
All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.
Seth Godin
Image
Every great company, brand, career has been built in exactly the same way: bit by bit, step by step, little by little.
Seth Godin
Image
Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.
Seth Godin
Image
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.

Who gets to decide what you want?
Seth Godin
Image
Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.
Seth Godin
Image
Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
Seth Godin
Image
Everyone has a comfort zone. Worth considering: How hard (and how often) are you willing to work to get out of it? You can turn that into a habit if you choose.
Seth Godin
Image
A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention so you can do your work.
Seth Godin
Image
Acknowledge to yourself that the factory job is dead. Having a factory job is not a natural state. It wasn't at the heart of being human until very recently. We've been culturally brainwashed.

Image
Set up a life you don't need to escape from.
Seth Godin
Image
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Image
Give up control and give it away ... The more you give your idea away, the more your company is going to be worth.
Seth Godin
Image
Your audacious life goals are fabulous. We're proud of you for having them. But it's possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that's really frightening you--the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself.
Seth Godin
Image
A well-defined backup plan is sabotage waiting to happen. Why push through the dip, why take the risk, why blow it all when there's the comfortable alternative instead? The people who break through usually have nothing to lose, and they almost never have a backup plan.
Seth Godin
Image
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.

Data is not useful until it becomes information.
Seth Godin
Image
As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before.
