The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it.
Seth Godin

Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.
Seth Godin

The good news is that more than ever, value accrues to those that show up, those that make a difference, those that do work that matters.
Seth Godin
Image
All good ideas are terrible... Until people realize they are obvious. If you're not willing to live through the terrible stage, you'll never get to the obvious part.

No, the only way to know what people think is to watch what they do, not what they say. Do they come back for more? Do you cause them to change their behavior? Can you make them smile?

When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.
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.

The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.
Seth Godin
Image
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.

If you treat your employees like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and regularly throw crap on them), it's entirely likely you will get precisely the work you deserve in return.

Catering to the passionate is exactly what you should do.

Plans are great, but missions are better.

Art is the act of doing work that matters while dancing with the voice in your head that screams for you to stop.
Seth Godin

You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

That the horrible Zika virus or HIV, we can look at what it means to be patient zero, what it means to need not much contact to spread, and all of those things follow into the way ideas spread.
