More quotes by Seth Godin
If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try.
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
Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.
Seth Godin
If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.
Seth Godin
Data is not useful until it becomes information.
Seth Godin
In our desire to please everyone, it's very easy to end up being invisible or mediocre.
Seth Godin
People talking about you is far more effective than talking about yourself.
Seth Godin
Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
Seth Godin
Don't fix me Love me for what's broken.
Seth Godin
My problem with the search for the badge of real is that it trades your goals and your happiness for someone else's.
Seth Godin
The reason it seems that price is all your customers care about is that you haven't given them anything else to care about.
Seth Godin
Popular is not the same important, or often, not the same as good.
Seth Godin
Rehearsing failure is simply a bad habit, not a productive use of your time. When you choose to visualize the path that works, you're more likely to shore it up and create an environment where it can take place.
Seth Godin
Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
Seth Godin
Plans are great, but missions are better.
Seth Godin
The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.
Seth Godin
You cannot buy your way to share of voice today you cannot buy attention anymore.
Seth Godin
I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else.
Seth Godin
Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.
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.
