Blogs About "Seth Godin"

I have a secret. Well, maybe the first part is not so secret. But I’ve had this desire to be a published novelist. I’ve written two novels that have been shopped up and down the streets of this city by my ever-faithful agent. Each...

 When I have thought about manifestos in the past my mind goes right to politics. Think high school world history class and Communist Manifesto.  But it seems rather trendy at the moment to have a manifesto whether it is for your business, a new idea you want to spread or your own personal journey.
In Tribes, Seth Godin considers publishing a manifesto as a key element if you have an idea...

I followed the suggestion of Laura Day this morning to write a reality tale of how what I want came into being. I wrote a story about how my desire to be a published novelist manifested. It was a good exercise that I recommend to anyone who is creating something new in their life. It put me in that place of having it already.

But it also got me to thinking...

I arrived at MetLife yesterday morning for a networking career development presentation with Elena Kaspi - and to our complete amusement not only had we'd both dressed in the "New Yorker" uniform of black, we both pretty much wore the same outfit, down to the shoes.

Quite the first impression for the legal department at MetLife. Two tall enthusiastic brunettes in leopard print.

Still laughing over the moment, I read Seth Godin's "When...

I think a lot about spam.

Here's the simple email/twitter/posting equation:

When I think of genius the first thing that comes to mind is the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. That delightful marketing tool where one of those Apple geniuses will tell you what is wrong with your Iphone.

I think Genius and I think of people like DaVinci, Einstein and Mozart. I think of exceptionally high IQs and strokes of brilliance that change the face of the earth.


I don't...

The front cover of Seth Godin's latest brilliant book "Linchpin" says:

"The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about."

That's great. So how DO you stand out? According to Jacqueline Novogratz, 85 Broads member, founder of the Acumen Fund and author of "The Blue Sweater" standing out comes from...

I love Seth Godin. Why? It's the Talerman Curve (yes, 85 Broads own Elizabeth Talerman of Nucleus Branding), it's his new fabulous, personally meaningful book Linchpin and right NOW, it's his February 6 posting: The relentless search for "tell me what to do"

A brief, focused post, capturing a frustration I've had for months. Seth observes:

I have a crush on Seth Godin. It's been going on for a while. Since before I launched One Woman's Eye. A friend suggested I start following him. I was still new to the blogosphere. I'm not even sure I fully understood what a blog was. But I listened and Seth's blog became the first I ever followed.
