The World Is Filled With Opportunity by Boomer Author Seth Godin

Boomer54 Mark — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:48:06 +0000

The thing is, we still live in a world that’s filled with opportunity. In fact, we have more than an opportunity –we have an obligation. An obligation to spend our time doing great things. To find ideas that matter and to share them. To push ourselves and the people around us to demonstrate gratitude, insight, and inspiration. To take risks and to make the world better by being amazing.

Are these crazy times? You bet they are. But so were the days when we were doing duck-and-cover air-raid drills in school, or going through the scares of Three Mile Island and Love Canal. There will always be crazy times.

So stop thinking about how crazy the times are, and start thinking about what the crazy times demand. There has never been a worse time for business as usual. Business as usual is sure to fail, sure to disappoint, sure to numb our dreams. That’s why there has never been a better time for the new. Your competitors are too afraid to spend money on new productivity tools. Your bankers have no idea where they can safely invest. Your potential employees are desperately looking for something exciting, something they feel passionate about, something they can genuinely engage in and engage with.

You get to make a choice. You can remake that choice every day, in fact. It’s never too late to choose optimism, to choose action, to choose excellence. The best thing is that it only takes a moment — just one second — to decide.

Before you finish this paragraph, you have the power to change everything that’s to come. And you can do that by asking yourself (and your colleagues) the one question that every organization and every individual needs to ask today: Why not be great?

Bad Behavior and Irrational Decisions Quote by Boomer Author Seth Godin

Boomer54 Mark — Mon, 24 May 2010 01:43:36 +0000

Bad behavior and irrational decisions are almost always caused by fear. If you want to change the behavior, address the fear.

And yet we don’t.

Instead, we impose an embargo or throw someone in prison. We put a letter in the permanent file or put the employee on a performance improvement plan. We walk away from a prospect or blame a lack of sales on our advertising.

“What are you afraid of?” is not just a great line for a movie trailer. It’s a shortcut in understanding what motivates.

My loyal readers know that I am a big fan of Seth Godin and his blog (find it by typing “seth” into Google or just click on the link), (Note: it is the most popular marketing blog in the world). He not only imparts marketing wisdom but shares with us (he calls it rifts) in such a manner, that it inspires us to think about life and re-think a lot of what we take as the truth in our system.

His latest New York Times Best Selling Book Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? is an incredible book that shows all of us how we can be linchpins and the essential building blocks of great organizations.

Linchpin challenges you to stand up, do work that matters and race to the top instead of the bottom. More than that, though, the book outlines a massive change in our economy, a fundamental shift in what it means to have a job.

Godin writes: “Every day I meet who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. It’s time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have the brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.”

Below is Seth Godin quoting Ishita Gupta from his book “Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?”.

“Choose to change your perspective.
Choose to flip the switch in your mind. Turn on the light and stop fretting about with insecurity and doubt.
Choose to do your work and be free of distraction.
Choose to see the best in someone, or choose to bring out the worst in them.
Choose to be a laser beam, with focused intention, or a scattered ray of light that doesn’t do any good.”

The power of choice is just that. Power. the only thing we have to do is remember that we control the harnessing of that power. We choose.

Don’t let your circumstances or habits rule your choices today. Become a master of yourself and use your willpower to choose.

Boomer54 Mark — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:29:31 +0000

“If your fear keeps you alive, embrace it. The rest of the time, the best strategy for success is figuring out how to ignore it, befriend it or use it as a compass to find what matters.”

“Exclusive focus and clarity of purpose leads to success.”

“Success is an journey filled with endless opportunities and challenges.”

“The road to comfort is crowded and it rarely gets you there. Ironically, it’s those who seek out discomfort that are able to make a difference and find their footing.”

Boomer54 Mark — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:07:54 +0000

“Just about everything worth doing is worth doing because it’s important and because the odds are against you. If they weren’t, then anyone could do it, so don’t bother.”

“Successful people rarely confuse a can-do attitude with a smart plan. But they realize that one without the other is unlikely to get you very far.”

2 Quotes and 2 Links From Baby Boomer Seth Godin

Boomer54 — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:05:52 +0000

I subscribe to Seth Godin’s Blog if you do not shame on you. He is a baby boomer, always has provocative, entertaining ideas that will stop you and make you think. Cannot get enough of his writing or presentations.

Below is a recent post from his Blog “Two quotes and two links for a snowy day.”

Seth shares:

“Arianna Huffington: “Self expression is the new entertainment, We never used to question why people sit on the couch for seven hours a day watching bad TV. Nobody ever asked, ‘Why are they doing that for free?’ We need to celebrate [this desire to contribute for free] rather than question it.”

Tim Cook at Apple: “This is the most focused company I know of, am aware of, or have any knowledge of… We say no to good ideas every day.” Cook then pointed out to analysts that every single product the company makes would fit on the single conference table in front of him. “And we had revenue last year of $40 billion.”

Bonus audio interview: my hyperbolic rants and a few insights about the future of ebooks. Double last-minute bonus: an audio interview about linchpins and software and startups.

And a bonus simple productivity tip, which I’ve been accidentally doing for years.”

“Marketing by interrupting people isn’t cost-effective anymore. You can’t afford to seek out people and send them unwanted marketing messages, in large groups, and hope that some will send you money.

Instead, the future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market to each other. Ignite consumber networks and then tet out the way and let them talk.” Seth Godin is the author of 12 books about ideas and marketing.
