“Marketing online takes too much measurement, patience, creativity, technical knowledge, flexibility, speed and authenticity. It requires too much thinking and not enough going out for dinner with clients.”
- Seth Godin.
Hvis du ikke kender til Seth Godin, så burde du gøre det. Han er én af de mest begavede inden for markedsføring i den nye verden, hvor vi alle sammen bliver propfyldt med så mange markedsføringsbudskaber, at vi slet ikke hører efter længere. Se hans blog her.
“What a person thinks on his own, without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of others, is even in the best cases rather paltry and monotonous”

“I am not a manager. I am not even a businessman. I’m an entrepreneur and I go with my gut… The ‘feeling’ is when the hair rises slightly on the back of your arms and neck and you know you are on the scent of something you shouldn’t be doing — but you’re going to do it anyway.”
Af Felix Dennis, forfatter til How to Get Rich og en af de mest kendte (og rigeste) britiske iværksættere. Fundet her.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt:
The amateur believes he must first overcome his fear; then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist.”
Fra The War of Art af Stephen Pressfield (det er ham, der har skrevet “The Legend of Bagger Vance”)
“Sure, I was scared. You gotta be an ass not to be scared. But I beat the hell out of death”
Evel Knievel var en legendarisk motorcykelkunstner – du ved, én af den slags folk, der kører en motorcykel ud over ramper og gennem store ringe med ild i.
Jeg kan godt lide at blive mindet om, at folk, der har gjort noget stort, også var bange – før, under og efter. Frygten er din følgesvend, hvis du vil noget med dit liv. Væn dig til det.

Sladder er noget, vi ser ned på. Vi ser ned på sladdertanter, og er flove over selv at løbe med sladder og gå op i sladder.
Men ifølge Jonathan Haidt’s Happiness Hypothesis, så er det helt misforstået.
[we] came to believe that gossip is underappreciated. In a world with no gossip, people would not get away with murder, but they would get away with a trail of rude, selfish, and antisocial acts, often oblivious to their own violations.
Sladder opfylder en vigtig funktion i samfundet, nemlig ved at “straffe” folk, der opfører sig antisocialt, for eksempel ved at rage til sig uden at give igen. Uden det, kunne samfund i den størrelsesorden, som vi har dem, ikke eksistere.
Så næste gang du tager dig selv i at løbe med sladder, så klap dig selv på skulderen og nyd det helhjertet!
