The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.

More quotes by 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
Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Empathy requires something extremely difficult: accepting the fact that we are not and never will be in the other person's shoes. There's no rational, universal course because individuals have different goals, different worldviews and different experiences.
Seth Godin
A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention so you can do your work.
Seth Godin
The market and the consumer and idea trump the system.
Seth Godin
No one can force you to stand up, speak up and make a difference. But if you back off and play along, please understand that whatever happens happened, at least in part, because you acquiesced.
Seth Godin
One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.
Seth Godin
Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.
Seth Godin
Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.
Seth Godin
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.
Seth Godin
... outsiders are way more likely to approach your organization with fabulous projects if they think they're likely to both get a good reception and succeed when they get to market.
Seth Godin
Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
Seth Godin
Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
Seth Godin
You can't win by being more average than average.
Seth Godin
Content Marketing is all the Marketing that's left.
Seth Godin
No one is as smart as all of us.
Seth Godin
I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.
Seth Godin
A well-defined backup plan is sabotage waiting to happen. Why push through the dip, why take the risk, why blow it all when there's the comfortable alternative instead? The people who break through usually have nothing to lose, and they almost never have a backup plan.
