It's human nature to quit when it hurts. But it's that reflex that creates scarcity.

Fear is the workout we give ourselves imagining what will happen if things don't work out. . . . Worry is our effort to imagine every possible way to avoid the outcome that is causing us fear, and failing that, to survive the thing that we fear if it comes to fruition.

The purpose of an elevator pitch is to describe a situation or solution so compelling that the person you're with wants to hear more even after the elevator ride is over.

What tribes are, is a very simple concept that goes back 50 million years. It's about leading and connecting people and ideas. And it's something that people have wanted forever.

I don’t think the shortage of artists has much to do with the innate ability to create or initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it’s possible and acceptable for you to do it. We’ve had these doors open wide for only a decade or so, and most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.

All the good things in my career are a direct descendant of what I did and learned at camp
Seth Godin -
Are you copying others? People won't pay extra for that. You won't be followed for that.

You don't launch a popular blog, you build one.

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 -
If you are wiling to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist.
Seth Godin -
You gain converts by winning at something the existing provider didn't think was so important.
Seth Godin -
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.

No one ever gets talker's block. No one wakes up in the morning, discovers he has nothing to say, and sits quietly, for days or weeks, until the muse hits, until the moment is right, until all the craziness in his life has died down.

By being remarkable, being genuine, you can be worth connecting with. And you don't have to have it figured out perfectly the first time - you can adjust.
Seth Godin -
The industrial age brought compliance and compliance brought fear and fear brought us mediocrity.

Too often, we don't give people the opportunity to fill in the blanks.

Bullhorns are overrated: having ten times as many Twitter followers generates approximately zero times as much value.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

For most modern marketers, quantity isn't the point. What matters is to matter. Lives changed. Work that made an actual difference. Connection.

I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.

The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
Seth Godin -
Why do we value leadership, connection and grace? Because it's scarce, and that scacity creates value.
Seth Godin -
Incrementalism ceases to be a good strategy when there's a cliff on the route.
