Our job is to make change. Our job is to connect to people, to interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them, more able to get where they'd like to go. Every time we waste that opportunity, every page or sentence that doesn't do enough to advance the cause is waste.
Seth Godin

The digital asset that matters is trust. Awareness first, then interaction, and maybe a habit, but all three mean nothing if they don't lead to permission and trust. The privilege of connection. Everything else is slippery.

What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?

Everyone has a comfort zone. Worth considering: How hard (and how often) are you willing to work to get out of it? You can turn that into a habit if you choose.

There's no life-work balance. I think you have to have the discipline to have the life you want to have. And if you are stealing from one part of your life in order to make the other part work, you are going to pay for it.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

The resistance is the voice in your head telling you to use bullets in your PowerPoint slides...It’s the voice that tells you to leave controversial ideas out of the paper you’re writing, because the teacher won’t like them. The resistance pushes relentlessly for you to fit in.

If you can't sell to 1 in 1000, why market to a million?

Dreamers don't have special genes. They find circumstances that amplify their dreams.

Marketing is the art of seeing (and then creating) what might be interesting to more than our friends
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.

Catering to the passionate is exactly what you should do.

Conversations among the members of your marketplace happen whether you like it or not. Good marketing encourages the right sort of conversations.

Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
