Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.
Seth Godin
I learned that a long walk and calm conversation are an incredible combination if you want to build a bridge.
Seth Godin
The goal, then, isn't to draw some positioning charts and announce that you have differentiated your product. No, the opportunity is to actually create something that people choose to talk about, regardless of what the competition is doing.
Seth Godin
Most people are searching for a path to success that is both easy and certain. Most paths are neither.

If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.
Seth Godin
The tiny cost of failure...is dwarfed by the huge cost of not trying.

Seth Godin
The essence of marketing today is to tell a story to people who want to hear it, in a way that resonates with them so they are likely to either respond or connect to you, or tell their friends.
Seth Godin
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
Seth Godin
When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.
Seth Godin
What I mean by art is the human act of doing something that connects us to someone else
Seth Godin
Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over.
Seth Godin
The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it.
Seth Godin
As soon as we associate reading with a test, we've missed the point.
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.
Seth Godin
All great programmers learn the same way. They poke the box. They code something and see what the computer does. They change it and see what the computer does. They repeat the process again and again until they figure out how the box works.
Seth Godin
Excellence isn't about meeting the spec, it's about setting the spec.
