Lessons Learned from Seth Godin: Part Three

In case you haven’t guessed, I have a tendency to habit of read Seth Godin’s blog every day. Every morning, actually.

The following are what I’ve taken away from each lesson blog post. They are my own impressions, and my own personal perspective. For my previous posts on the subject, click here.

About “Discipline vs. fairness”

Starts with a ridiculous question and ends with a statement of the obvious plus an attempt to make a point about taking responsibility.

And I’ll take the fish.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “Time dilation”

One-on-one interactions take time. If you publish something, it should get to more people faster.

And a lot of effort goes into creating a thing that seems to be simple.

I’m not sure I needed to read that one at all. But that’s the benefit of hindsight.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “The next best click”

Don’t click on everything just because it’s there.

I’m trying not to think too hard about that.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “Mollified”

Plan for the worst and create your best work. Have a system.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “In it for the money”

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, no one but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.

And don’t kid yourself. We’re all trying to sell something.

On the flip side: I was right about Tim Ferriss.

Here’s a link to the source.

About ‘Which problem are we solving?”

The point of any business is to solve someone else’s problem. In my opinion, that even applies to fiction writing.

Here’s a link to the source.

That’s it for now! 🙂

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
