More quotes by Seth Godin
No is the foundation that we can build our yes on.
Seth Godin
Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.
Seth Godin
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
Seth Godin
A bully is playing a game, one that he or she enjoys and needs. You're welcome to play this game if it makes you happy, but for most people, it will make you miserable.
Seth Godin
You can't lose. Go, go, go!
Seth Godin
The enemy of fear is creativity.
Seth Godin
Incrementalism ceases to be a good strategy when there's a cliff on the route.
Seth Godin
Perhaps marketing is about to transition to a new kind of profession, one that requires insight, dedication and smarts.
Seth Godin
Positive thinking is hard. Worth it, though.
Seth Godin
Your audacious life goals are fabulous. We're proud of you for having them. But it's possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that's really frightening you--the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself.
Seth Godin
Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.
Seth Godin
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
People talking about you is far more effective than talking about yourself.
Seth Godin
Mass attention is almost unattainable and it's not clear that you want it.
Seth Godin
The resistance is the voice in your head telling you to use bullets in your PowerPoint slides...It’s the voice that tells you to leave controversial ideas out of the paper you’re writing, because the teacher won’t like them. The resistance pushes relentlessly for you to fit in.
Seth Godin
Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.
Seth Godin
You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
Seth Godin
If you don't require the journey to be easy or comfortable or safe, you can change the world.
