Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Image
Which are you?...competen t, inspiring, passionate, obsessed, provocative, impatient, hungry, driven, adoring, inspired, an artist, a genius, someone who cares...? With all these remarkable, powerful, important options available to each of us, why do so many of us default to competent?

Big ideas are little ideas that no-one killed too soon.

By the time there is a case study about your industry, you are already too late.
Seth Godin
Image
Habits are more powerful than fears.
Seth Godin

Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.

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.

I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.

One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.

What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do for a living is ship.

Facts are irrelevant. What matters is what the consumer believes.
Seth Godin
Image
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.

Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.
Seth Godin
Image
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

Image
No is the foundation that we can build our yes on.

If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
