If you can't make money from attention, you should do something else for a living.
Seth Godin
Image
As soon as we associate reading with a test, we've missed the point.

The habit of doing more than is necessary can only be earned through practice.
Seth Godin
Image
No, the only way to know what people think is to watch what they do, not what they say. Do they come back for more? Do you cause them to change their behavior? Can you make them smile?

Image
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.

The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.
Seth Godin
Image
If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.
Seth Godin
Image
The way I understand gifts is that the giver must make a sacrifice, create an uneven exchange, bring himself closer to the recipient, create change and do it all with the right spirit.
Seth Godin
Image
Don't waste time looking for a better pencil: learn to write better.
Seth Godin
Image
Rehearsing failure is simply a bad habit, not a productive use of your time. When you choose to visualize the path that works, you're more likely to shore it up and create an environment where it can take place.
Seth Godin
Image
No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.
Seth Godin
Image
The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.
Seth Godin
Image
Transformation al leaders don't start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they'd like to create instead.
Seth Godin
Image
Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.
