Why You Shouldn't do What You're Told


Seth Godin talks about:
What it means to start small and start now
how do you know when to ship a project
how do you know how to market a product

starting a business “was never about how do I make money doing something. It was how do I find enough resources to do a project that I'm interested in. How do I be able to put on a show that I care about and if there's a business component to it that's fine, but for me the work has always been to do a project and sometimes those projects can be amplified by working for someone but even if you are working for someone you don't have to act as if it's a job. A job is where you try to please someone who tells you what to do and that person usually wants you to do what you did yesterday but a little faster and a little cheaper whereas impresarios and people who make projects are playing by a completely different set of rules.”

"...now that these platforms exist now that individuals like you and I can do the work we care about without a job and without a boss we shouldn't be teaching every single kid how to be normal we
should be teaching kids two things how to solve interesting problems and how to we're going to see our culture accelerate."
