More quotes by Seth Godin
It's possible that your next frontier isn't to get more efficient, it's to get more brave.
Seth Godin
Communication is the transfer of emotion.
Seth Godin
The thing is, the future happens. Every single day, like it or not. Sure, tomorrow is risky, frightening and in some way represents one step closer to the end. But it also brings with it the possibility of better and the chance to do something that matters.
Seth Godin
Art changes posture and posture changes innocent bystanders.
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
Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.
Seth Godin
The first rule of doing work that matters: Go to work on a regular basis.
Seth Godin
When we intentionally seek out the difficult tasks, we're much more likely to actually create value.
Seth Godin
The goal, then, isn't to draw some positioning charts and announce that you have differentiated your product. No, the opportunity is to actually create something that people choose to talk about, regardless of what the competition is doing.
Seth Godin
If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.
Seth Godin
Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up.
Seth Godin
Why do we value leadership, connection and grace? Because it's scarce, and that scacity creates value.
Seth Godin
Rehearsing failure is simply a bad habit, not a productive use of your time. When you choose to visualize the path that works, you're more likely to shore it up and create an environment where it can take place.
Seth Godin
When you can swim, who cares how deep the water is?
Seth Godin
In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.
Seth Godin
It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.
Seth Godin
I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.
Seth Godin
Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
Seth Godin
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. -
Seth Godin
Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.
