Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.

More quotes by Seth Godin
Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.
Seth Godin
Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.
Seth Godin
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
Seth Godin
School is at its best when it gives students the expectation that they will not only dream big, but dream dreams that they can work on every day until they accomplish them-not because they were chosen by a black-box process, but because they worked hard enough to reach them.
Seth Godin
People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame.
Seth Godin
'Good enough' stopped being good enough a long time ago. so why not be great?
Seth Godin
Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.
Seth Godin
Data is not useful until it becomes information.
Seth Godin
The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.
Seth Godin
As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before.
Seth Godin
Your audacious life goals are fabulous. We're proud of you for having them. But it's possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that's really frightening you--the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself.
Seth Godin
Just because the tide is out, doesn't mean there is less water in the ocean.
Seth Godin
Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
Seth Godin
Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth Godin
Once you have permission to talk to someone, finding new products or services for them is a smart way to grow.
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
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.
Seth Godin
Where do you put the fear when you choose to innovate? The fear is there, but you have to find a place to put it.
Seth Godin
If you're in the idea business, it doesn't matter where you're from. It matters if we care about the change you're making.
