More quotes by Seth Godin
The combination of fear and ignorance (two sides of the same coin) can be paralyzing.
Seth Godin
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
Seth Godin
Saying 'no' or even 'stop' is the hallmark of the professional you want on your team.
Seth Godin
It's easy to pretend expertise when there's no data to contradict you.
Seth Godin
Fear for a linchpin is a clue that you're getting close to doing something important.
Seth Godin
If it's work, we try to figure out how to do less, If it's art, we try to figure out how to do more
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Becoming a superstar takes about 10,000 hours of hard work.
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
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
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
We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.
Seth Godin
In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.
Seth Godin
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer scarce.
Seth Godin
No one knows more about the way you think than you do.
Seth Godin
More time [to decide] without more information just creates anxiety, not insight.
Seth Godin
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.
Seth Godin
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
Seth Godin
Lack of resources (payroll), time and competing priorities are why so many nonprofits haven't done well. It's that simple.
