More quotes by Seth Godin
It's almost impossible to have fun playing ping pong with someone who doesn't care, won't try or isn't any good.
Seth Godin
If you treat your employees like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and regularly throw crap on them), it's entirely likely you will get precisely the work you deserve in return.
Seth Godin
No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.
Seth Godin
And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.
Seth Godin
Don't have any meetings about your web strategy. Just do stuff. First you have to fail, then you can improve.
Seth Godin
We know what you want to accomplish... The real question is, 'what are you willing to push through the dip for?' What are you willing to stand up for, bleed for, commit to and generally be unreasonable about? Because that's what's going to actually get done.
Seth Godin
Be relentlessly generous, without focusing on when it will come back to you.
Seth Godin
Set up a life you don't need to escape from.
Seth Godin
If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.
Seth Godin
Measurement is fabulous. Unless you're busy measuring what's easy to measure as opposed to what's important
Seth Godin
Say what you believe and see who follows.
Seth Godin
If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?
Seth Godin
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
Conversations among the members of your marketplace happen whether you like it or not. Good marketing encourages the right sort of conversations.
Seth Godin
I do not think you can get rid of the fear... but you can dance with it.
Seth Godin
Evolution is the most popular way we have for dealing with change.
Seth Godin
More process, less innovation. More operations, less innovation. More management, less innovation. More entrepreneurs, more innovation.
Seth Godin
After you produce you can select. you can curate. you can censor. But for now, have bad ideas, lots and lots of bad ideas.
Seth Godin
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
Seth Godin
If you're not willing to face the abyss of choice, you will almost certainly not spend enough time dancing with opportunity.
