Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.
Seth Godin
Image
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.
Seth Godin
Image
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
Seth Godin
Image
Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do.
Seth Godin
Image
It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
The sound of a small bell during a dark night, is louder than the din of traffic outside your window during rush hour. Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.
Seth Godin
Image
Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.

What evidence would you need to see to change your mind about this?

Soon is not as good as now.

There's no life-work balance. I think you have to have the discipline to have the life you want to have. And if you are stealing from one part of your life in order to make the other part work, you are going to pay for it.
Seth Godin
Image
The digital asset that matters is trust. Awareness first, then interaction, and maybe a habit, but all three mean nothing if they don't lead to permission and trust. The privilege of connection. Everything else is slippery.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
Seth Godin
Image
We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.
Seth Godin
Image
By all means, fire the customers who aren't worth the time and the trouble. But understand that the moment you insist the customer is wrong, you've just started the firing process.
Seth Godin
Image
If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.

Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you male, but about the stories you tell.
Seth Godin
Image
Most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.

Too often, the person who wrecks our work is us.
