The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.

More quotes by Seth Godin
Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.
Seth Godin
The enemy of fear is creativity.
Seth Godin
If you want customers to hear about you, make something worth talking about.
Seth Godin
We know what you want to accomplish... The real question is, 'what are you willing to push through the dip for?' What are you willing to stand up for, bleed for, commit to and generally be unreasonable about? Because that's what's going to actually get done.
Seth Godin
Don't create for the masses. Create for the people who are your kind of weird.
Seth Godin
Your best customers are worth far more than your average customers.
Seth Godin
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
Seth Godin
Don't waste time looking for a better pencil: learn to write better.
Seth Godin
If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
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
Things that look like shortcuts are actually detours (disguised as less work).
Seth Godin
We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. Remarkable, as you've already figured out, demands initiative.
Seth Godin
The essence of marketing today is to tell a story to people who want to hear it, in a way that resonates with them so they are likely to either respond or connect to you, or tell their friends.
Seth Godin
Busy does not equal important. Measured doesn't mean mattered.
Seth Godin
Transformation al leaders don't start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they'd like to create instead.
Seth Godin
Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.
Seth Godin
I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.
Seth Godin
Black Friday is a media trap, an orchestrated mass hallucination based on herd dynamics and the media cycle.
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
Everyone is not your customer.
