More quotes by Seth Godin
How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?
Seth Godin
No one knows more about the way you think than you do.
Seth Godin
Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
Seth Godin
I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.
Seth Godin
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
Seth Godin
It's not an accident that successful people read more books.
Seth Godin
Entertainment has seduced us into believing that we have a chance to live the life they live in the movies. Even the people in the movies don't live that life. It doesn't take 135 minutes to make a life, it takes almost a century. Everything doesn't depend on what happens in the next ninety seconds. Ever.
Seth Godin
The combination of fear and ignorance (two sides of the same coin) can be paralyzing.
Seth Godin
It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.
Seth Godin
You can listen to what people say, sure. But you will be far more effective if you listen to what people do.
Seth Godin
In nearly every case, trying to lead everyone results in leading no one in particular.
Seth Godin
Making promises and keeping them is a great way to build a brand.
Seth Godin
It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. Stop settling for what's good enough and start creating art that matters.
Seth Godin
This might end up in crying. If you're not prepared to cry about it, I'm not sure you're making art. And if you're not prepared to dance in anticipation, you're definitely not making art.
Seth Godin
As you've probably discovered, great work makes us uncomfortable.
Seth Godin
No, the only way to know what people think is to watch what they do, not what they say. Do they come back for more? Do you cause them to change their behavior? Can you make them smile?
Seth Godin
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
Seth Godin
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
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
Basically you create your experience through your beliefs about yourself and the nature of reality. Another way to understand this is to realize that you create your experiences through your expectations.
