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
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
Our job is to make change. Our job is to connect to people, to interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them, more able to get where they'd like to go. Every time we waste that opportunity, every page or sentence that doesn't do enough to advance the cause is waste.
Seth Godin
If you're in the idea business, it doesn't matter where you're from. It matters if we care about the change you're making.
Seth Godin
Dreamers don't have special genes. They find circumstances that amplify their dreams.
Seth Godin
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
Seth Godin
What we most need in our lives, though, is something worth doing, worth it because we care.
Seth Godin
The problem with requiring people to be loud and angry to get things done is that you're now surrounded by people who are loud and angry.
Seth Godin
And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.
Seth Godin
Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.
Seth Godin
The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.
Seth Godin
You want it to be hard. If it's hard, then that means others can't do it easily and you can charge for that value.
Seth Godin
If you can't sell to 1 in 1000, why market to a million?
Seth Godin
The best time to start promoting your book is three years before it comes out. Three years to build a reputation, build a permission asset, build a blog, build a following, build credibility and build the connections you'll need later.
Seth Godin
Plans are great, but missions are better.
Seth Godin
What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?
Seth Godin
No one knows more about the way you think than you do.
Seth Godin
You can define advertising as the science of creating and placing media that interrupts the consumer and then gets him or her to take some action.
Seth Godin
Gifts are not favors. If you expect something in return, it's not a gift.
Seth Godin
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Seth Godin
If you want to dig a big hole, you need to stay in one place.
