Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.
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
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we're wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.
Seth Godin
As long as you want to please everyone, you won't please anyone.
Seth Godin
If you want customers to hear about you, make something worth talking about.
Seth Godin
You cannot buy your way to share of voice today you cannot buy attention anymore.
Seth Godin
What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism.
Seth Godin
It's clearly more fun to make the rules than to follow them.
Seth Godin
No one can force you to stand up, speak up and make a difference. But if you back off and play along, please understand that whatever happens happened, at least in part, because you acquiesced.
Seth Godin
The less people know, the more they yell.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer scarce.
Seth Godin
Before you tell yourself you have no right to invent this or improve that, remind yourself that the person before you had no right either, but did it anyway.
Seth Godin
Dig your well before you're thirsty.
Seth Godin
The first rule of doing work that matters: Go to work on a regular basis.
Seth Godin
If you want to be a leader, go lead
Seth Godin
The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
Seth Godin
The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.
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.
Seth Godin
Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map.
Seth Godin
Entertainment has seduced us into believing that we have a chance to live the life they live in the movies. Even the people in the movies don't live that life. It doesn't take 135 minutes to make a life, it takes almost a century. Everything doesn't depend on what happens in the next ninety seconds. Ever.
