More quotes by Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
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
Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.
Seth Godin
The value we create is directly related to how much valuable information we can produce, how much trust we can earn, and how often we innovate.
Seth Godin
Positive thinking is hard. Worth it, though.
Seth Godin
When the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.
Seth Godin
If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
Seth Godin
Fear is the workout we give ourselves imagining what will happen if things don't work out. . . . Worry is our effort to imagine every possible way to avoid the outcome that is causing us fear, and failing that, to survive the thing that we fear if it comes to fruition.
Seth Godin
Human beings, thanks to culture and genetics, are inclined to be pessimistic, fearful, skeptical and believers in conspiracy theories. We also don't like change.
Seth Godin
Developing expertise or assets that are not easily copied is essential otherwise you're just a middleman.
Seth Godin
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
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
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.
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
The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.
Seth Godin
You don't need more time in your day. You need to decide.
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
If you can influence the outcome, do the work. If you can't influence the outcome, ignore the possibility. It's merely a distraction.
Seth Godin
Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
