If you're going to invest a v...

If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.

If you've got the platform an...

If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.

The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else.

The people that are doing work that matters aren't doing work thats popular. They're just doing work that changes some people.

What people want is the extra, the emotional bonus they get when they buy something they love.

Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That?t what they are.

Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.

Great leaders don't try to pl...

Great leaders don't try to please everyone. Great leaders don't water down their message in order to make the tribe a bit bigger. Instead, they realize that a motivated, connected tribe in the midst of a movement is far more powerful than a larger group could ever be.

The digital asset that matter...

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.

How often do our heroes stand...

How often do our heroes stand still? It's hard to imagine Spock and Kirk landing on a planet and just relaxing for a month or two. Just hanging out has nothing to do with boldly going where no one has gone before. What makes us different from every other creature is that we go places, places we've not gone before. We do it willingly, and often. What makes our work and our life interesting is discovery, surprise, and the risk of exploration.

Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.

Books work as an art form (and an economic one) because they are primarily the work of an individual.

It takes three years to be an overnight success, sometimes more.

If you're remarkable, then it...

If you're remarkable, then it's likely that some people won't like you. That's part of the definition of remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise - ever. The best the timid can hope for is to be unnoticed. Criticism comes to those who stand out. Playing it safe. Following the rules. They seem like the best ways to avoid failure. Alas, that pattern is awfully dangerous. The current marketing “rules” will ultimately lead to failure. In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is failing. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.

I have something to say. I know how to do something. I’m doing it. If you want me to do it with you, raise your hand.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

If failure isn't an option, t...

If failure isn't an option, then success isn't either. Success is just failure repeated until it works.

Art is a human act, a generous contribution, something that might not work, and it is intended to change the recipient for the better, often causing a connection to happen.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

Sometimes, we're so focused o...

Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.

Seth Godin 916 quotes

The easiest way to thrive as ...

The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.
