More quotes by Seth Godin
Habits are more powerful than fears.
Seth Godin
The danger of the Web is that you can go from idea to public announcement in under ten minutes.
Seth Godin
If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
Seth Godin
Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.
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
The opposite of coherent is interesting.
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
Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.
Seth Godin
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
People get good gigs because they stand up....You don't get picked. Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.
Seth Godin
If you can’t state your position in eight words, you don’t have a position.
Seth Godin
The enemy of creativity is fear.
Seth Godin
Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.
Seth Godin
Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
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.
Seth Godin
Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
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
The future of publishing is about having connections to readers and the knowledge of what those readers want.
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.
