More quotes by Seth Godin
One way to think about running a successful business is to figure out what the least you can do is, and do that.
Seth Godin
We know what you want to accomplish... The real question is, 'what are you willing to push through the dip for?' What are you willing to stand up for, bleed for, commit to and generally be unreasonable about? Because that's what's going to actually get done.
Seth Godin
Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.
Seth Godin
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
Seth Godin
Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths... whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it's over
Seth Godin
The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.
Seth Godin
When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
Seth Godin
Organizations grow when they persuade a tiny cadre to be passionate, not when they touch millions with a mediocre message
Seth Godin
Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
Seth Godin
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
Seth Godin
If there isn't a good reason, go home. If there is, then do something ... loud, now, and memorable.
Seth Godin
A brilliant author or businesswoman or senator or software engineer is brilliant only in tiny bursts. The rest of the time, they’re doing work that most any trained person could do.
Seth Godin
The key to getting a reputation for being brilliant is actually being brilliant, not just acting like you are.
Seth Godin
Don't create for the masses. Create for the people who are your kind of weird.
Seth Godin
No more than six words on a slide. Ever. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.
Seth Godin
Personalizatio n wasn't supposed to be a cleverly veiled way to chase prospects around the web, showing them the same spammy ad for the same lame stuff as everyone else sees. No, it is a chance to differentiate at a human scale, to use behavior as the most important clue about what people want and more important, what they need.
Seth Godin
Not adding value is the same as taking it away.
Seth Godin
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.
Seth Godin
Dreams are difficult to build and easy to destroy.
