Nice segue on and development of an important point in Godin’s book. Possibly the most important point — how easy it is to let fear run things. I’m up to the Resistance chapter right now. It really is amazing how the basic things need to be said because they are so often passed over as unimportant or something everyone should know. Or would be embarrassed to be told.

Be a genius. Be an artist. Now. Humanity needs you. For every failure of an idea a door opens for a brilliant one — or five. Godin wants that message spread and it’s an important one.

And thanks, Adam, for pushing the edge of art and communication.

I like this post a lot! You always do a good job of “planting the seed” for something to think or write about.

I can relate this back to sales and marketing. The fear of failure can lead to…NOTHING. But that’s not how the world operates. In order to succeed, you at least need to TRY! You can do NOTHING and your chances for failing are zero.

Or you can increase your odds for success 100% by doing SOMETHING. Being the owner of a company, I need to fail a lot more in order to increase my odds for success. So I DO SOMETHING a lot. This helps increase my odds for success.

Granted, I hate failing and there are days when I just don’t want to deal with it. But typically I overcome the fear of failing or rejection and JUST DO IT! And some of those days have led to great SUCCESSES!

Thanks again for the inspiration!
