Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin

Don't wait to be picked. Pick yourself.
Seth Godin

Art is the work of a human, an individual seeking to make a statement, to cause a reaction, to connect. Art is something new, every time, and art might not work, precisely because it's new, because it's human and because it seeks to connect.

Competence is no longer a scarce commodity.
Seth Godin
Image
Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

The problem with requiring people to be loud and angry to get things done is that you're now surrounded by people who are loud and angry.

One way to think about running a successful business is to figure out what the least you can do is, and do that.

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.

People that take responsibility are often given responsibility!

The definition of a revolution: it destroys the perfect and enables the impossible.

Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

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.

If you can't make money from attention, you should do something else for a living.
Seth Godin
Image
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.

Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
Seth Godin
Image
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.

Gifts are not favors. If you expect something in return, it's not a gift.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.

All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.
