Live Session with Legendary Marketing Mind Seth Godin

Seth Godin joined me for a special live taping of the Duct Tape Marketing podcast (we had about 500 callers listening in) to talk about marketing and his new book - The Dip - A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (And When To Stick)

I first picked up this book thinking, from clues in the title, that it was more about quitting things that weren't going anywhere - and I guess it is, but I couldn't help thinking that it was more about being realistic before and when you started about what it really takes to be the best in the world at something.

I found the book to be more inspirational than really instructional - and I mean that in a very positive way. I read too many strategy books and not enough books that remind me what why I do what I do. I told Seth that I thought he had written a self-help book and he flatly denied it. I need lots of self-help, so I meant it as a compliment.

Get your entire team together and read this book. I think you may just find that your little cul-de-sac (French for dead end) has a great big opening for you to charge through.
