From Seth Godin: Win, place or show?
Seth Godin's newest blog post offers some pretty sage advice. There are a million companies out there doing a million things that keep them in the game, but don’t do much more. We can see mediocrity pretty much everywhere we turn – unfortunately very few companies are being unquestionably remarkable. It certainly isn’t easy to be remarkable, but it’s something that everyone should strive for at work and in life.
The Think Big Manifesto by Michael Port is a good read that challenges you to aim for greatness.
