Seth Speaks: His Top Quotes.

I admit it, I along with a few other million people follow and try to learn from Seth Godin. He has a cool message. Plus he’s managed to become extremely successful. I like his unique ideas.

When I first started blogging and was tripping over my own feet. I stumbled on to Twitter and he was one of the first of a group of people to follow me and help me. Of course, I didn’t realize then who he was and that he had millions of followers! He was a humble man.

Anyway, I came across this list of some of his quotes and I just had to share them with all of you. I hope you find a nugget of wisdom that helps in some way.

1. “Try is the opposite of hiding.”

2. “Your turn. Imagine that the world had no middlemen, no publishers, no bosses, no HR folks, no one telling you what you couldn’t do. If you lived in that world, what would you do? Go do that.”

3. “The job isn’t to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo.”

4. “Is it any wonder we teach this mindset? Factories and managers don’t want spunk, or even innovation. They generally seek compliance. We rely on the disobedient few for innovation, but today, innovation is our only option.”

6. “The challenge, it turns out, isn’t in perfecting your ability to know when to start and when to stand by. The challenge is getting into the habit of starting.”

7. “Little thoughts are ephemeral. They come, and inevitably, they go. We don’t remember them an hour later, never mind a week or a month later.”

8. “One part of your brain worries about survival and anger and lust. The rest of it creates civilization.”

9. “Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers.”

10. “The most successful givers aren’t doing it because they’re being told to. They do it because doing it is fun. It gives them joy.”

11. “If you use your money to create exceptional products and services, you won’t need to spend it on advertising.”

12. “This is marketing done right. Marketing where the marketer changes the product, not the ads.”

13. “Don’t try to make a product for everybody, because that is a product for nobody.”

14. “We’ve greatly exaggerated the risk of sinking, without celebrating the value of swimming.”

16. “Differentiate to succeed.”

17. “How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable.”

18. “Stop advertising and start innovating.”

19. “Remarkable marketing is the art of building things worth noticing right into your product or service. Not slapping on marketing as a last-minute add-on, but understanding that if your offering itself isn’t remarkable, it’s invisible.”

20. “Quitting is not the same as failing.”

21. “The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.”

22. “And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner.”

23. “Courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.”

24. “Powerful advertising is anticipated, personal, and relevant.”

25. “The Internet is going to change marketing before it changes almost anything else, and old marketing will die in its path.”

26. “Today, most marketers don’t notice, track, or interact with people until they are customers.”

27. “As new forms of media develop and clutter becomes ever more intense, it’s the asset of permission that will generate profits for marketers.”

29. “Your opportunity lies in finding a neglected worldview, framing your story in a way that this audience will focus on and going from there.”

30. “It’s not enough to find a niche that shares a worldview. That niche has to be ready and able to influence a large group of their friends.”

31. “Marketing is about spreading ideas, and spreading ideas is the single most important output of our civilization.”

32. “The secret to being wrong isn’t to avoid being wrong. The secret is to be willing to be wrong.”

33. “The organizations that succeed realize that offering a remarkable product with a great story is more important and more profitable than doing what everyone else is doing just a bit better.”

34. “People clump together into common worldviews, and your job is to find a previously undiscovered clump and frame a story for those people.”

35. “Either you’re going to tell stories that spread, or you will become irrelevant.”
