What I mean by art is the human act of doing something that connects us to someone else
Seth Godin
Image
Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.
Seth Godin
Image
Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone.
Seth Godin
Image
The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it.
Seth Godin
Image
Little changes cost you. Big changes benefit you by changing the game, but only if you go first.
Seth Godin
Image
The digital asset that matters is trust. Awareness first, then interaction, and maybe a habit, but all three mean nothing if they don't lead to permission and trust. The privilege of connection. Everything else is slippery.
Seth Godin

One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.
Seth Godin

Image
Or, if I take that same auditorium and I make it much bigger and put more space between seats, it'll be quieter because it's much harder when you're not in physical contact with people to spread a virus from person-to-person, right? There are all sorts of patterns that we see in epidemiology that help us understand why something spreads.
Seth Godin
Image
Instead of focusing on arguing with people who say no, it might be easier to get near the people who like to say yes.
Seth Godin
Image
Two elements of successful leadership: a willingness to be wrong and an eagerness to admit it.
Seth Godin
Image
If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.
Seth Godin
Image
Nothing about becoming indispensable is easy. If it's easy, it's already been done and it's no longer valuable.
Seth Godin
Image
Our best work can't possibly appeal to the average masses, only our average work can. Finding the humility to happily walk away from those that don't get it unlocks our ability to do great work.
Seth Godin
Image
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
If you can't be remarkable, perhaps you should consider doing nothing until you can.
