Seth Godin Quotes

Failure is a word I don't accept.

I would be a winner because I was a loser! That's right. I dream of failure every night of my life, and that's my secret. To makeit in this rat race you have to dream of failing every day. I mean, that is reality.

No man or woman is uniformly successful... we must all expect a rather high percentage of failure in the things we attempt.

Successful people don't have any fewer problems than unsuccessful people; they just have a different mindset in dealing with them.

Everybody loves winning, but we should not linger on the difference between winning and losing... But Is losing failing?

Success is seldom achieved by people who contemplate the possibility of failure

Succes is really nothing more than the record of failure. To be successful means you must be willing to fail more than anyone else.

Successful people just don't let failure define them or keep them from doing what they want to do. For example, I'd have people come up to me after my shows, and they'd say they want to do stand-up but are scared they're going to fail. I'd tell them, "You are going to fail, and anyone who is success has powered through many, many failures."

Failure is not an option. Success is just a process.

Focus on the possibilities for success, not on the potential for failure

If you are not successful, that means you're not making enough mistakes.

Think doubt and fail. Think victory and succeed.

I think that the only way that you're going to succeed anywhere is to fail, as crazy as that sounds. It's the only way. You have to fail your way up.

I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.

The more failure you can accept, the greater your chance of success.

The difference between people who succeed and people who fail, I think in many cases it’s not fear. Everyone experiences fear. The difference is what do you do with your fear. Do you work to overcome it or do you let it defeat you? And I think that is actually what distinguishes very successful people from others.

It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.

I feel that the most important requirement in success is learning to overcome failure. You must learn to tolerate it, but never accept it

Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.

I have yet to meet someone who was successful who was even slightly negative. That comes from a muscle training. You can work on negativity and weed it out of your life. I've noticed that all of the people who acted as if they were going to be gone too soon, were gone too soon.

I'm just always trying to be positive. Negative things happen to everybody. Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.

I have enjoyed the success my work has brought me. Some might say I haven't really struggled to be successful. I think it is my perspective that is utopian. My state of mind is positive and peaceful. And I dare to dream.

Success is always an easier motivator, because you want more of it. But I've also been motivated by failure. Had I medaled in London, I don't think I would be one of the few that have gone to a Summer and Winter. I would have been content with that medal. Instead, I used that failure to go to the Winter Olympics. I always tell people that failure can be one of your biggest motivators if you just have an attitude adjustment about it.

Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier -certainly no more difficult - than small ideas and small plans.

The most successful people on the planet have failed more than ordinary ones.
