The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.

More quotes by Seth Godin
Laptop computers dramatically increased the time people spend doing work. (The internet dramatically decreased it, so we're even).
Seth Godin
Competition and the market are like water, they go where they want
Seth Godin
Good marketers measure.
Seth Godin
Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
Seth Godin
Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.
Seth Godin
Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work.
Seth Godin
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Seth Godin
The key to getting a reputation for being brilliant is actually being brilliant, not just acting like you are.
Seth Godin
You market when you hire and when you fire. You market when you call tech support, and you market every time you send a memo.
Seth Godin
Nobody says, 'Yeah, I'd like to set myself up for some serious criticism!' And yet, the only way to be remarkable is to do just that.
Seth Godin
Two elements of successful leadership: a willingness to be wrong and an eagerness to admit it.
Seth Godin
No one is as smart as all of us.
Seth Godin
Teaching young people to sell is a priceless gift.
Seth Godin
Leadership is a choice. It's the choice not to do nothing.
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
We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. Remarkable, as you've already figured out, demands initiative.
Seth Godin
Reputation is what people expect us to do next. It's their expectation of the quality and character of the next thing we produce or say or do. We control our actions (even when it feels like we don't) and our actions over time (especially when we think no one is looking) earn our reputation.
Seth Godin
Excellence isn't about meeting the spec, it's about setting the spec.
Seth Godin
If you want to get in shape, go to the # gym every single day, change your clothes and take a shower. If you can do that every single day for a month, pretty soon you'll start doing something while you're there.
Seth Godin
There's no correlation between how good your idea is and how likely your organization will be to embrace it.
