The Opportunity

May 15th, 2011

Seth Godin:

The opportunity, though, is the biggest of our generation (or the last one, for that matter). The opportunity is there for anyone (with or without a job) smart enough to take it–to develop a best in class skill, to tell a story, to spread the word, to be in demand, to satisfy real needs, to run from the mediocre middle and to change everything.

Don’t talk about doing something. Do it. Don’t let yourself be in the position in a few months or years where you tell someone, “I had that idea. But I was too afraid of failing.”

It’s easy to think of reasons why you shouldn’t, or why it won’t work. And it might not.

Or you might succeed more than you knew possible.
