You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make the choices that let you make your art.
Seth Godin
Image
And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.
Seth Godin
Image
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.

Making promises and keeping them is a great way to build a brand.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
Seth Godin
Image
If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.

Saying 'no' or even 'stop' is the hallmark of the professional you want on your team.

Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.
Seth Godin
Image
Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.

The way you feel about giving money to good causes has a lot to do with the way you feel about money.
Seth Godin
Image
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.
Seth Godin
Image
What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism.
Seth Godin
Image
If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.

Competition and the market are like water, they go where they want
Seth Godin
Image
Every great company, brand, career has been built in exactly the same way: bit by bit, step by step, little by little.
Seth Godin
Image
A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention so you can do your work.
Seth Godin
Image
The time to look for a new job is when you don't need one. The time to switch jobs is before it feels comfortable.
Seth Godin
Image
There's no correlation between how good your idea is and how likely your organization will be to embrace it.
Seth Godin
Image
When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.

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.
