Seth’s bold new move to not publish any more books (the traditional way)!
Bold probably. Walking the talk, absolutely!

Expose yourself…
With so many options in media, interaction and venues, you now get to choose what you expose yourself to.
Expose yourself to art, and you’ll come to appreciate it and aspire to make it.
Expose yourself to anonymous scathing critics and you will begin to believe them (or flinch in anticipation of their next appearance.)
Expose yourself to get-rich-quick stories and you’ll want to become one.
Expose yourself to fast food ads and you’ll crave french fries.
Expose yourself to angry mobs of uninformed, easily manipulated protesters and you’ll want to join a mob.
Expose yourself to metrics about your brand or business or performance and you’ll work to improve them.
Expose yourself to anger and you might get angry too.
Expose yourself to people making smart decisions and you’ll probably learn how to do it as well.
Expose yourself to eager long-term investors (of every kind) and you’ll likely to start making what they want to support.
It’s a choice if you want it to be.

0% of a really big number is still zero.
Charles Blow reports in the NY Times that:
“A study last year conducted by members of PRS for Music, a nonprofit royalty collection agency, found that of the 13 million songs for sale online last year, 10 million never got a single buyer and 80 percent of all revenue came from about 52,000 songs. That’s less than one percent of the songs.”

The hierarchy of success - Seth Godin
“I think it looks like this:
- Attitude
- Approach
- Goals
- Strategy
- Tactics
- Execution
We spend all our time on execution. Use this word instead of that one. This web host. That color. This material or that frequency of mailing. Big news: No one ever succeeded because of execution tactics learned from a Dummies book.”

The problem with positive thinking
Great blog post by Seth Godin - as usual!
Like this bit… “Key question then: why do smart people engage in negative thinking? Are they actually stupid?” …
