Why do we value leadership, connection and grace? Because it's scarce, and that scacity creates value.

More quotes by Seth Godin
People rarely buy what they need. They buy what they want.
Seth Godin
The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.
Seth Godin
No one can be responsible for where or how we each begin. No one has the freedom to do anything or everything, and all choices bring consequences. What we choose to do next, though, how to spend our resources or attention or effort, this is what defines us.
Seth Godin
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
Seth Godin
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?
Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
Seth Godin
Most people are searching for a path to success that is both easy and certain. Most paths are neither.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Nothing about becoming indispensable is easy. If it's easy, it's already been done and it's no longer valuable.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Two different things: A crowd is a tribe without a leader. A crowd is a tribe without communication. Most organizations spend their time marketing to the crowd. Smart organizations assemble the tribe.
Seth Godin
Who gets to decide what you want?
Seth Godin
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Seth Godin
It's clearly more fun to make the rules than to follow them.
Seth Godin
A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.
Seth Godin
If you're not willing to face the abyss of choice, you will almost certainly not spend enough time dancing with opportunity.
Seth Godin
Be genuine. Be remarkable. Be worth connecting with.
Seth Godin
Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.
Seth Godin
If you don't like your definition of 'good enough', then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.
Seth Godin
How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?
Seth Godin
