The status quo is persistent and resistant. It exists because everyone wants it to. Everyone believes that what they've got is probably better than the risk and fear that come with change.

More quotes by Seth Godin
Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
Seth Godin
Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.
Seth Godin
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

Seth Godin

Discomfort brings engagement and change. Discomfort means you're doing something that others were unlikely to do, because they're hiding out in the comfortable zone. When your uncomfortable actions lead to success, the organization rewards you and brings you back for more.
Seth Godin
If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.
Seth Godin
The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.
Seth Godin

Seth Godin
If you want customers to hear about you, make something worth talking about.
Seth Godin
The way you feel about giving money to good causes has a lot to do with the way you feel about money.
Seth Godin
You gain converts by winning at something the existing provider didn't think was so important.
Seth Godin
Competence is the enemy of change!
Seth Godin
The resistance is not something to be avoided, it's something to seek out.
Seth Godin
Learning is not done to you, it is something you choose to do.
Seth Godin
The problem with taking offense is that it's really hard to figure out what to do with it after you're done using it. Better to just leave it on the table and walk away. Umbrage untaken quietly disappears.
Seth Godin
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.
Seth Godin
