Dig your well before you're thirsty.
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.

It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Image
If you can raise money, you're never going to have trouble getting a job.
Seth Godin

Studying entrepreneurshi p without doing it... is like studying the appreciation of music without listening to it.

Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you male, but about the stories you tell.
Seth Godin

A brilliant author or businesswoman or senator or software engineer is brilliant only in tiny bursts. The rest of the time, they’re doing work that most any trained person could do.

You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

Play a new game, not the older game but faster.

Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.

Set up a life you don't need to escape from.

There are lots of good reasons to abandon a project. Having a little competition is not one of them.
Seth Godin

If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.
Seth Godin

I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.

You don't win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training.

I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.

The less people know, the more they yell.

Good marketers measure.

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
Image
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.
