More quotes by Seth Godin
It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.
Seth Godin
The only long-term motivation is self motivation. So hire people who are self motivated and get out of their way.
Seth Godin
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we're wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.
Seth Godin
Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.
Seth Godin
Incrementalism ceases to be a good strategy when there's a cliff on the route.
Seth Godin
I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.
Seth Godin
Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.
Seth Godin
Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
Seth Godin
Surprise and delight and connection are remarkable.
Seth Godin
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.
Seth Godin
The best marketing strategy is to destroy your industry before your competition does.
Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
Seth Godin
Big ideas are little ideas that no-one killed too soon.
Seth Godin
I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.
Seth Godin
We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.
Seth Godin
Don’t be different just to be different. Be different to be better.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Many people believe that great designers get great clients. It's the other way around.
