Seth Godin
You want it to be hard. If it's hard, then that means others can't do it easily and you can charge for that value.
Seth Godin
Learning is not watching a video, learning is taking action and seeing what happens.
Seth Godin
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?
Seth Godin
If you try to delight the undelightable, you've made yourself miserable for no reason.
