More quotes by Seth Godin
Is it worth getting one more tweet out, or putting your phone down and doing something that is worth tweeting?
Seth Godin
The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.
Seth Godin
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
If you think your organization needs a bigger marketing budget, maybe you just need to be less average instead.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer scarce.
Seth Godin
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
Seth Godin
Organizations grow when they persuade a tiny cadre to be passionate, not when they touch millions with a mediocre message
Seth Godin
Marketing yourself to a new person often involves being charismatic, clever and quick-but most jobs and most relationships are about being consistent, persistent and brave.
Seth Godin
Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.
Seth Godin
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.
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
I feel like I'm treating people as I'd like to be treated.
Seth Godin
Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.
Seth Godin
In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.
Seth Godin
You don't become indispensable merely because you are different. But the only way to become indispensable is to be different. That's because if you're the same, so are plenty of other people.
Seth Godin
If you can't make money from attention, you should do something else for a living.
Seth Godin
It's almost impossible to have fun playing ping pong with someone who doesn't care, won't try or isn't any good.
Seth Godin
All Marketers are liars tell stories.
Seth Godin
Everyone will think it's stupid! Everyone says it's impossible. Guess what? Everyone works in the balloon factory and everyone is wrong.
Seth Godin
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we're wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.
