More quotes by Seth Godin

Seth Godin

Seth Godin

Seth Godin
Perhaps marketing is about to transition to a new kind of profession, one that requires insight, dedication and smarts.
Seth Godin
Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.
Seth Godin
Build it, and they will come only works in the movies. Social Media is a build it, nurture it, engage them, and they may come and stay.
Seth Godin
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
Seth Godin
Mostly, the best way to be the next Mark Zuckerberg is to make difficult choices.
Seth Godin
Making an average pitch to average people, or having an average gala for average people isn't going to scale anymore. You've got to find the people who care. Those people are worth all of your time.
