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
If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.
Seth Godin
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
Seth Godin
It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.
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
As long as you want to please everyone, you won't please anyone.
Seth Godin
Surprise comes from defying expectations.
Seth Godin
What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?
Seth Godin
The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
Seth Godin
The good news is that more than ever, value accrues to those that show up, those that make a difference, those that do work that matters.
Seth Godin
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.
Seth Godin
Art changes posture and posture changes innocent bystanders.
Seth Godin
What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do for a living is ship.
Seth Godin
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.
Seth Godin
Build it, and they will come only works in the movies. Social Media is a build it, nurture it, engage them, and they may come and stay.
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
You can define advertising as the science of creating and placing media that interrupts the consumer and then gets him or her to take some action.
Seth Godin
Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.
Seth Godin
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.
Seth Godin
