While you may have made money doing something a certain way yesterday, there's no reason to believe you'll succeed at it tomorrow.

Data is not useful until it becomes information.

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

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.

In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

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.

Facts are irrelevant. What matters is what the consumer believes.
Seth Godin
Image
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

Image
Mass attention is almost unattainable and it's not clear that you want it.
Seth Godin
Image
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.
Seth Godin
Image
Everyone will think it's stupid! Everyone says it's impossible. Guess what? Everyone works in the balloon factory and everyone is wrong.
Seth Godin
Image
You cannot buy your way to share of voice today you cannot buy attention anymore.
Seth Godin
Image
The sound of a small bell during a dark night, is louder than the din of traffic outside your window during rush hour. Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.
Seth Godin
Image
I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit's way of whispering, I'm in flux. I can't decide for you. Something is off-balance here.
Seth Godin
Image
Empathy requires something extremely difficult: accepting the fact that we are not and never will be in the other person's shoes. There's no rational, universal course because individuals have different goals, different worldviews and different experiences.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
Image
Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.
Seth Godin
Image
The combination of fear and ignorance (two sides of the same coin) can be paralyzing.
