More quotes by Seth Godin
If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
Seth Godin
Everyone will think it's stupid! Everyone says it's impossible. Guess what? Everyone works in the balloon factory and everyone is wrong.
Seth Godin
You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
Seth Godin
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
Seth Godin
Everyone is not your customer.
Seth Godin
Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.
Seth Godin
Rehearsing failure is simply a bad habit, not a productive use of your time. When you choose to visualize the path that works, you're more likely to shore it up and create an environment where it can take place.
Seth Godin
Popular is not the same important, or often, not the same as good.
Seth Godin
If you could do tomorrow over again, would you?
Seth Godin
Is it worth getting one more tweet out, or putting your phone down and doing something that is worth tweeting?
Seth Godin
What evidence would you need to see to change your mind about this?
Seth Godin
Stop trying to find the formula that will instantly make your idea into a winner. Instead of being scientists, the best marketers are artists. They realize that whatever is being sold is being purchased, because it creates an emotional want, not because it fills a simple need.
Seth Godin
Transformation al leaders don't start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they'd like to create instead.
Seth Godin
Or, if I take that same auditorium and I make it much bigger and put more space between seats, it'll be quieter because it's much harder when you're not in physical contact with people to spread a virus from person-to-person, right? There are all sorts of patterns that we see in epidemiology that help us understand why something spreads.
Seth Godin
It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.
Seth Godin
So sure, start with a slogan. But don't bother wasting any time on it if you're merely going for catchy. Aim for true instead.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
The best creative solutions don't come from finding good answers to the questions that are presented... They come from inventing new questions!
Seth Godin
If you don't like your definition of 'good enough', then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.
Seth Godin
Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.
