From Seth Godin
Marketing
Quotes
15
Seth Godin is one of the most innovative
and influential minds in marketing and
business today. Having made a career of
inspiring others to be more innovative and
think outside the box, Mr. Godin has a litany
of memorable quotes about marketing and
life. Here are 15 of our favorite Seth Godin
quotes to inspire you to do more everyday.
1. “The cost of being wrong is less than the cost
of doing nothing.”
2. “The largest enemy of change and leadership
isn’t a ‘no,’ it’s a ‘not yet.’ ‘Not yet’ is the safest,
easiest way to forestall change.”
3. “Hope without a strategy doesn’t generate
leadership. Leadership comes when your hope
and your optimism are matched with a concrete
vision of the future and a way to get there.”
4. “What could you measure? What would that
cost? How fast could you get the results? If you
can afford it, try it. If you measure it,
it will improve.”
5. “Remarkable visions and genuine insights are
always met with resistance.”
6. “Organizations that destroy the status quo win.
Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you
the opportunity to be remarkable.”
7. “If you don’t have time to do it right, what
makes you think you’ll have time to do it over?”
8. “You can’t fool all the people, not even most of
the time. People, once unfooled, talk
about the experience.”
9. “Our job is to make change. Our job is to
interact with them in a way that leaves them
better than we found them, more able to get
where they’d like to go.”
10. “All the creativity books in the world aren’t
going to help you if you’re unwilling to have lousy,
lame and even dangerously bad ideas.”
11. “You can spend your time on stage pleasing
the heckler in the back, or you can devote it to
the audience that came to hear you perform.”
12. “The problem when working with a coach isn’t
that we don’t know what to do. The real problem
is that we don’t want to change our mind.”
13. “Go for the edges. Challenge yourself and
your team to describe what those edges are, and
then test which edge is most likely to deliver the
marketing results you seek.”
15. “The easiest thing is to react. The second
easiest is to respond. But the hardest thing
is to initiate.”
