Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

If you can't be remarkable, perhaps you should consider doing nothing until you can.
Seth Godin
Image
If you're not the best in the world at what you do, then you have to get better.
Seth Godin
Image
The first step to getting good is admitting that you aren't (yet).
Seth Godin
Image
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.

I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit's way of whispering, I'm in flux. I can't decide for you. Something is off-balance here.

It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.
Seth Godin
Image
Average feels safe but it's not. It's invisible.
Seth Godin

Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.

You can't win by being more average than average.
Seth Godin
Image
If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.
Seth Godin

The status quo is persistent and resistant. It exists because everyone wants it to. Everyone believes that what they've got is probably better than the risk and fear that come with change.
Seth Godin
Image
Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
Seth Godin
Image
Competence is no longer scarce.

Don't have any meetings about your web strategy. Just do stuff. First you have to fail, then you can improve.
Seth Godin
Image
Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.

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.
