@seobrien
To put it bluntly, goals are for losers. That's literally true most of
the time. For example, if your goal is to lose 10 pounds, you will
spend every moment until you reach the goal—if you reach it at
all—feeling as if you were short of your goal. In other words,
goal-oriented people exist in a state of nearly continuous failure
that they hope will be temporary.

Passion, purpose,
story, branding...
Marketing
Culture defines your approach to
attracting and retaining:

1. Employees
2. Partners
3. Customers
4. Investors

@seobrien
If you're creative, you have
to keep innovating bigger!

@seobrien
Innovation is about
conveying your
imagination to someone
else.
- whurley; Chaotic

@seobrien
Because the purpose of
business is to create a
customer, the business
enterprise has two–and
only two–basic
functions: marketing and
innovation. Marketing
and innovation
produce results; all the
rest are costs. Marketing
is the distinguishing,
unique function of the
business

  • 25. To put it bluntly, goals are for losers. That's literally true most of the time. For example, if your goal is to lose 10 pounds, you will spend every moment until you reach the goal—if you reach it at all—feeling as if you were short of your goal. In other words, goal-oriented people exist in a state of nearly continuous failure that they hope will be temporary. @seobrien
