Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.
Seth Godin
Image
Art is the work of a human, an individual seeking to make a statement, to cause a reaction, to connect. Art is something new, every time, and art might not work, precisely because it's new, because it's human and because it seeks to connect.

Image
It's possible that your next frontier isn't to get more efficient, it's to get more brave.
Seth Godin
Image
It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Image
The key to getting a reputation for being brilliant is actually being brilliant, not just acting like you are.
Seth Godin
Image
The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

No one knows more about the way you think than you do.

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.

Learning is not done to you, it is something you choose to do.
Seth Godin
Image
If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?
Seth Godin
Image
The goal of a marketing interaction isn't to close the sale, any more than the goal of a first date is to get married. No, the opportunity is to move forward, to earn attention and trust and curiosity and conversation.
Seth Godin
Image
If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.
Seth Godin
Image
It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.

There's no map for being an artist.

If you can't be remarkable, perhaps you should consider doing nothing until you can.
Seth Godin
Image
Emotional labor is available to all of us, but it is rarely exploited as a competitive advantage.
Seth Godin
Image
No is the foundation that we can build our yes on.

The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing

If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do.

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.
