Your best customers are worth far more than your average customers.

Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it. -

Image
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
Seth Godin

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

There are lots of good reasons to abandon a project. Having a little competition is not one of them.
Seth Godin
Image
You succeed because you've chosen to be confident. It's not really useful to require yourself to be successful before you're able to become confident.
Seth Godin
Image
All good ideas are terrible... Until people realize they are obvious. If you're not willing to live through the terrible stage, you'll never get to the obvious part.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

It always feels too soon to leap. But you have to. Because that's the moment between you and remarkable.
