Quote

If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.

Facts are irrelevant. What matters is what the consumer believes.

One option is to struggle to be heard whenever you're in the room... Another is to be the sort of person who is missed when you're not. The first involves making noise. The second involves making a difference.

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
Image
Many people are starting to realize that they work a lot and that working on stuff they believe in (and making things happen) is much more satisfying then just getting a paycheck and waiting to get fired (or die).
Seth Godin
Image
The problem with taking offense is that it's really hard to figure out what to do with it after you're done using it. Better to just leave it on the table and walk away. Umbrage untaken quietly disappears.
Seth Godin
Image
Don't wait to be picked. Pick yourself.
Seth Godin
Image
The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else. It might be the competition or a technology or the lousy things that someone did a decade ago. None of it is going to get better as a result of revisiting the grudge.

The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.
Seth Godin

The question is not Will you succeed? but rather, Will you matter?

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. -
