You succeed because you've chosen to be confident. It's not really useful to require yourself to be successful before you're able to become confident.

More quotes by Seth Godin
What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do for a living is ship.
Seth Godin
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
If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
Seth Godin
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Doing justice to the work is your task, not setting a world record.
Seth Godin
The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing . But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are. For now.
Seth Godin
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
Seth Godin
Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910s I wonder what they said? Like the greatest invention since the telegraph or something. But... the thing about the invention of sliced bread is this - that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available no one bought it no one knew about it it was a complete and total failure.
Seth Godin
We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.
Seth Godin
Don't fix me Love me for what's broken.
Seth Godin
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention so you can do your work.
Seth Godin
You gain converts by winning at something the existing provider didn't think was so important.
Seth Godin
If you speak up online and your ideas have currency, people are going to show up and want to connect with you. What we need more of are people with the guts and emotional labour to do this. The greatest shortage in today's society is an instinct to produce.
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
The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.
Seth Godin
You cannot buy your way to share of voice today you cannot buy attention anymore.
Seth Godin
Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.
Seth Godin
Marketing isn't done by computers, it's done by people. And people who sense opportunity and have the confidence to be remarkable will always defeat defensive actions by people who have given up.
Seth Godin
It's easy to pretend expertise when there's no data to contradict you.
