Surprise and delight and connection are remarkable.
Seth Godin
Image
Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
By all means, fire the customers who aren't worth the time and the trouble. But understand that the moment you insist the customer is wrong, you've just started the firing process.
Seth Godin
Image
The enemy of creativity is fear.
Seth Godin
Image
No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it's true. On the other hand, it's only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by.
Seth Godin
Image
Art is the work of a human, an individual seeking to make a statement, to cause a reaction, to connect. Art is something new, every time, and art might not work, precisely because it's new, because it's human and because it seeks to connect.

The YouTube video maker gets more out of making a video than you get out of watching it.
Seth Godin
Image
Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.
Seth Godin
Image
Do you believe in what you do? Every day? It turns out that belief happens to be a brilliant strategy.
