If you don't know how it work...

If you don't know how it works, find out. If you're not sure if it will work, try it. If it doesn't make sense, play with it until it does. If it's not broken, break it. If it might not be true, find out.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Acknowledge to yourself that ...

Acknowledge to yourself that the factory job is dead. Having a factory job is not a natural state. It wasn't at the heart of being human until very recently. We've been culturally brainwashed.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

It's rare to find a consisten...

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 916 quotes

The way I understand gifts is...

The way I understand gifts is that the giver must make a sacrifice, create an uneven exchange, bring himself closer to the recipient, create change and do it all with the right spirit.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Faced with the opportunity to...

Faced with the opportunity to become the category of one, we almost always hesitate, almost always compromise, almost always dumb it down to play it a little bit safer

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Your peer group are people wi...

Your peer group are people with similar dreams, goals and worldviews. They are people who will push you in exchange for being pushed, who will raise the bar and tell you the truth. They're not in your business, but they're in your shoes. Finding a peer group and working with them, intentionally and on a regular schedule, might be the single biggest boost your career can experience.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

I wonder why anyone would hes...

I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. I mean, if you really want to make a living, go to Wall Street and trade oil futures ... We're writers. We're doing something that is inherently a generous act. We're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. Why do that if you're not willing to be generous? And paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. But that's secondary. For me, the privilege of being generous is why I get to do this.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Don't scale because you think...

Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Success brings with it the fe...

Success brings with it the fear of blowing it. With more to lose, there's more pressure not to lose it.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Trust is precious and easily ...

Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

When we think about what migh...

When we think about what might go wrong, we're more likely to design something that goes right.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Here's the truth you have to ...

Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

I think that any time reality...

I think that any time reality doesn't match your expectations, it means that marketing was involved.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Is it worth getting one more ...

Is it worth getting one more tweet out, or putting your phone down and doing something that is worth tweeting?

Seth Godin 916 quotes

It's easy to be afraid of tak...

It's easy to be afraid of taking a plunge, because, after all, plunging is dangerous. And the fear is a safe way to do nothing at all. Wading, on the other hand, gets under the radar. It gives you a chance to begin.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

I'm not proposing that you le...

I'm not proposing that you let the crowd dictate, or that you work hard to fit in. Far from it. I'm proposing that you know the impact your choices are having and act accordingly.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

The reason business writing i...

The reason business writing is horrible is that people are afraid. Afraid to say what they mean, because they might be criticized for it. Afraid to be misunderstood, to be accused of saying what they didn't mean, because they might be criticized for it.

Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Marketing yourself to a new p...

Marketing yourself to a new person often involves being charismatic, clever and quick-but most jobs and most relationships are about being consistent, persistent and brave.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Solving problems—actually solving them, not just claiming you do—solving perceived, urgent problems, is a surefire way to get the world to beat a path to your door.
