Why Showing Up is the Ultimate Game-Changer
Bestselling author Seth Godin shares his wisdom on creativity, innovation, and personal growth.
He emphasizes the importance of showing up, taking risks, and focusing on the process rather than the outcome.
The importance of creative work
Creative work is not just about serving immediate needs but about making a change happen.
It’s about having the courage to create and share your work, even without guarantees of success.
Consistency is more important than authenticity and the notion of writer’s block is a myth.
Navigating the noise and competition
Starting something new is always the best time, despite the noise and competition.
Being first doesn’t guarantee success; it’s about finding your niche and connecting with your audience.
Building a minimum viable audience is more important than chasing critical mass.
Understanding and serving your audience
Understanding the desires and needs of a target audience is crucial, even if not expressed directly in a focus group.
Emotionally connecting with your audience and being on the hook for their satisfaction is crucial.
Successful companies focus on fulfilling unmet needs rather than selling what people already have.
