Seth Godin on amazing

By Bonni Stachowiak | May 28, 2013 | | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

“If you set your bar at ‘amazing,' it's awfully difficult to start… The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are. For now.

There's a big difference between not settling and not starting.”
