Side Hustle Spark 245: Seth Godin’s ShipIt Journal (freebie)

The Shipit Journal–another valuable free resource from Seth Godin.

Get it here.

It’s an easy read. But don’t tell him you just read it.

Quote from the blog post: Here’s the thing: If all you do is read this on the screen, IT WON’T WORK.

This book feels like Seth is either looking over your shoulder or holding up a mirror for you to face yourself (and the book’s questions.)

One of my favorite pages asks three questions in the above word cloud.

Another favorite page:

What does failure look like?
List every outcome or event you’re anxious about
happening.
(Really? That’s it?)
Try again.

Enjoy and forge ahead!

Side Hustle Spark 241: This Is Marketing (Seth Godin)

Click the above word cloud for an excerpt to:
Seth Godin’s This Is Marketing: You Can’t Be Seen Until You Learn to See

Along with the notions in the word cloud, three favorite points:

“Marketing doesn’t have to be selfish.”

“It’s easier to make products and services for the customers you seek to serve than it is to find customers for your products and services.”

This excerpt closes with: “Time to stop looking for shortcuts, and time to start insisting on a long, viable path instead.”
