More quotes by Seth Godin
When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.
Seth Godin
What evidence would you need to see to change your mind about this?
Seth Godin
The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.
Seth Godin
Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.
Seth Godin
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we're wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.
Seth Godin
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
The Cul-de-Sac ( French for dead end ) ... is a situation where you work and work and work and nothing much changes
Seth Godin
Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.
Seth Godin
Self sufficiency appears to be a worthy goal, but it's now impossible if you want to actually get anything done. All our productivity, leverage and insight comes from being part of a community, not apart from it. The goal, I think, is to figure out how to become more dependent, not less.
Seth Godin
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Seth Godin
Tribes makes our lives better, and leading a tribe is the best life of all.
Seth Godin
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
Seth Godin
As creators, our pursuit of perfection might be misguided, particularly if it comes at the expense of the things that matter.
Seth Godin
Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.
Seth Godin
I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else.
Seth Godin
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
Seth Godin
It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Content Marketing is all the Marketing that's left.
Seth Godin
A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.
Seth Godin
The next thing you do today will be the most important thing on your agenda, because, after all, you're doing it next. Well, perhaps it will be the most urgent thing. Or the easiest. In fact, the most important thing probably isn't even on your agenda.
