I have follow Seth Godin for the last 20 years. The fact that he had failure shows that failure is OK but quitting is not. Your ideas will spread if you press forward after each failure. You are only a failure if you quit. Don't quit.

Love this. I think in order to be successful, you have to love what you're doing. But it doesn't stop there. You have to know how to spread an idea (or market your idea to others). I like what he says, and I'm paraphrasing: It doesn't matter what you do; spreading ideas applies to everyone.

The problem is most (small) business owners don't have the patience to seek out the people who will love their products, and wait for it to spread. Everyone wants instant gratification and therefore continue to market to the masses.

On the contrary, some wait too long hoping it spreads without ever succeeding. Businesses require money (revenue). Revenue is generated by sales. If you don't sell anything, you go out of business. I think the problem is most (small) business literally cannot afford to be patient and wait for their good idea to spread, so they market to the masses- hoping to gain traction. Facebook changed that. We can spearfish now instead of casting large nets.

I would love nothing more than to get James Howard Kuntsler, Seth Godin, and Peter Thiel in the same room. They all touch on interestingly intertwined concepts but have distinct and original perspectives on them.

Excellent! Currently reading Seth’s Marketing book. Excellent teacher and simplifies marketing. So recommend reading his books 👍

My challenge is know to bring your insights into my own project of sending a few moments of peace and calm out into the world. Your knowledge will certainly help me to find ways of encouraging others to feel the positive energy of this project and come on board to help spread it further.

Seth paints a picture of a sad sad world, where people are too busy to think for themselves, so they follow the trending crowd and don't use their powerful focus to create a better world. Only thinking of what's in it for ME! I wish the people inventing stuff that people do not need, would put their genius to products which would clean up the environment, or heal the sick or teach people to forgive each other. How can we use this marketing power to create a better world for all beings. We need to redefine what is Remarkable, and celebrate what is truly Remarkable! LOVE is Truly Remarkable, and free!

Karen, it’s good to know I’m not alone in this view. What a pathetic world we live in. We don’t buy anything, we’re sold everything - and we seem to be perfectly happy with that state of being. Nature does wonders beyond comprehension without any money through Her natural economy, but with our artificial, money-driven economy all we seem able to do is create endless, useless novelty that actually destroys natural economy as well as any sense of it from our consciousness. Why do we so passively insult and degrade ourselves like this? Why do people like this who see humans as nothing more than targets not make us angry? I suppose it makes it easier for us to insult and degrade the rest of the natural creation we’ve been blessed with. I’d be perfectly happy if they used Elon Musk’s new rockets to shoot all these flippin’, hyper-motivated, mind-robbing ad-men straight into the heart of the Sun. Not really, I suppose, but metaphorically speaking, that’s what I’ve done with them in my own personal life. I’m done with being their target.

I understand where you are coming from, but at the end of the day, a man/woman has to be able to feed himself and his children. Doing things "good for the environment" or teaching people "how to forgive each other" seem, to me , to be luxurious hobbies, that one can indulge in only AFTER the money has been made and the wolves are being kept from the door. very few of the celebrites and rich people who make a big deal about contributing to the problems you are pointing out, actually did any of that , until they were rich and secure. For most people the priority must be take care of ME and MINE first; then try to help others. I wish the world were different but it isn't.

My favorite TEDGlobal speaker so far has been Alain de Botton, the philosopher for the knowledge worker. He mused about the "sorrows and pleasures of work" (the title of his latest book), our ever-more complex careers (formerly known as lives), the quintessential question of the 21st century (“what do you do?”), snobbery (“taking a small piece of someone to form a vision of who he is”), the direct relationship between proximity and envy ("proximity is the prerequisite for envy"), tragedy as a h

ASU Venture Devil Here. Seth Godin is awesome in beginning with a demand for the young entrepreneurs to stop stealing ideas, stop copying their homework, and actually dream a better future. This down to earth reflection on how to get the dream to spread is a needed supplement to the practicality of keeping a dream alive. It is the new idea, or the "remarkable dream" that will spread. With limited time, people will not pay any attention to something that is the same as what they've seen before. It also insinuates a redirection away from standard corporate practices, and "safe investment" thinking. Shooting for mainstream is a sure way to be ignored and forgotten. Being one of the better speakers for entrepreneurs, I am monitoring every talk he gives.

At the end he made a book about it. The great marketer!

Seth is genius! He has really helped me to brand myself and my business. Find your tribe! 😉

I'm Just discovering Seths work and i'm loving it..Sometimes when we get stuck in an industry or market we lose focus on other ideas we can use in our business..I suppose fusing other methods to get in touch with people & finding out how to solve their problems and be relevant to them

This was one of the best TED's I have heard so far... Dang...this guy is good!

the first TED i have actualy watched all the way through.

Everybody should also pair watching this video with videos that teach how to put very interesting and very helpful information. This is still why a lot of people are interested in a particular website. No one can take shortcuts in this industry. The stronger the foundation of a website, the better it will be.

Maybe the most thoughtful video on national advertising I've ever seen. I'm now addicted to TED.

GREAT VIDEO LOVED IT -As Zig Ziglar said The Fruit is OUT on the Limb Not Next to The Tree ... also an old saying " If You are Selling What Everyone Else is Who Needs You? IDEAS - YES it's all about IDEAS - You may get rejection - Heck Thomas Edison was asked "How does it Feel to Fail 1,000 Times?" in his creation of the Electric Light Bulb, his perfect answer " I did not Fail 1,000 Times it took 1,000 Steps to Find the Solution. Kudos for the Video GREAT 5 Stars Keith Monen

Love this. Seth and TED never fail to inspire me. We need more of this every time!

I love how TED place their advertisement at the end of the video. KZread should follow this practice. It's truly non evil. I would watch the advertisement because I like the video enough to watch it to the end. Advertisement in the beginning only interrupt our desire to view the content.

Love Seth Godin's insight.

great info

Genius. Thanks Seth. Yet another great bunch of insights from you

Super insightful, as always. Seth is awesome.

This video is very informational. If you have an idea and don't spread it, then chances are that idea won't make any profit. Be creative, write the vision, and watch the profits come rolling in.

Love "the riskiest thing you can do now is be safe!"

That cow example really nails the points he made.

Thanks for sharing this - some good points that are still relevant today.

This ties in perfectly with entrepreneurship and fundraising. Thanks!

Ted talks have got to be one of the greatest ideas of the internet age!

Great advice from the master himself. The TED talks are my most favorite.

"You like my ring? It's my grandmother!" LMAO. Great video.

WOW. I see it now. Thanks TED X and Seth Godin. Much to unpack and grasp.

Seth, brilliant as always :) Thank you.

i like that Ted have ads at the end of their videos instead of shoving them down your throat at the start like some. Sometimes i'll take the time to watch them because of that.

Thank you for sharing this video. Love it!

"OH! you like my ring? ITS MY GRANDMOTHER!" haha

Awesome and Amazing!! Thanks Seth

Another great presentation Seth!

Please spread the word. Thank you.

I love the salad water. I'd buy that, wouldn't you? And the Arby's Tom Arnold oven mitt. Best takeaway--remarkable equals worth making a remark about. As Heidi Fleiss says, "one day you're in, and one day you're out". And aim at people who are obsessed. Someone who is really interested in what you have to say.

anyone knows the songs around 16:07 ?

Seth Godin got such a big sense of humor!!

I could watch Ted Talks all day. This was a great discussion.

This is so true. Without spreading the idea nothing happens

The ideas that were presented in this video were pretty accurate and the world does not have to agree with it. People have different preferences. Each time they connect their selves to the Internet, they will find something that will actually interest them. Those who have lots of free time will definitely touch lots of niches.

He talks about a more basic point about marketing when you look at ist essential aspect which wouldn't matter about which product or service you are selling, also talks about how TV- industrial complex era worked, which was through a human connection was able through repetition and how big companies pays large amount (in the millions) to be able to invent what an average product is and make it look something elegant and remarket to an audience that would want your product.

He made a very interesting point of targeting towards the niche market and not the average people which counteracts the very natural and almost unanimous marketing plan

私が思うに彼はインターネットが今ほど一般的に誰でも使える前に、これを発表しています。 その事実が何よりも凄く、彼はユニークなジョークや“オタク”という名詞を交えて、その発表を行いました。 時間があっという間に経過し、全てが終わる頃には今のビジネスの在り方を学ぶことができます。 そしてこれを知ることもまたこの“TED”の”オタク”になりつつあるからこそ聞けたことです。 それが彼の話の事実を証明していると思います。

I like the way Seth think👍🏻
