More quotes by Seth Godin
Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over.
Seth Godin
Blaming the system is soothing because it lets you off the hook. But when the system is broken, we wonder why you were relying in the system in the first place.
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
Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.
Seth Godin
Reputation is what people expect us to do next. It's their expectation of the quality and character of the next thing we produce or say or do. We control our actions (even when it feels like we don't) and our actions over time (especially when we think no one is looking) earn our reputation.
Seth Godin
All the creativity books in the world aren’t going to help you if you’re unwilling to have lousy, lame, and even dangerously bad ideas.
Seth Godin
Two different things: A crowd is a tribe without a leader. A crowd is a tribe without communication. Most organizations spend their time marketing to the crowd. Smart organizations assemble the tribe.
Seth Godin
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
If you hesitate to map out your future, to make a big plan or to set a goal, you've just gone ahead and mapped your future anyway.
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
A bully is playing a game, one that he or she enjoys and needs. You're welcome to play this game if it makes you happy, but for most people, it will make you miserable.
Seth Godin
Go for the edges. Challenge yourself and your team to describe what those edges are, and then test which edge is most likely to deliver the marketing results you seek.
Seth Godin
Set up a life you don't need to escape from.
Seth Godin
No one can force you to stand up, speak up and make a difference. But if you back off and play along, please understand that whatever happens happened, at least in part, because you acquiesced.
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
While you may have made money doing something a certain way yesterday, there's no reason to believe you'll succeed at it tomorrow.
Seth Godin
Popular is not the same important, or often, not the same as good.
Seth Godin
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.
Seth Godin
Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it. -
