Mini Mind Jolts

Argh - 'Why did I get a book just full of blog postings?' I lamented about 20 pages into Small Is The New Big. At 40 pages I realised however that no matter how much of a Seth fan I am (and I'm a big one) it would be unlikely that I would wade through 8 years of blogs postings online to find these gems, And gems many of them were indeed. Read it if you want a book full of mini mind jolts.

Hardcover Blog You'll Enjoy

Evangelizing as the little guy in a country of big companies and Wall Street takes energy. Seth Godin has plenty as he shares clear and entertaining ideas on small business. He provides great facts. He sprinkles in personal experiences. He gives anecdotes to which any marketer can relate.

This book of top Seth Godin blog posts will inspire you to never stop challenging yourself, and your business and marketing assumptions. It might also empower you as a consumer, and possibly spark your entrepreneurial mind with examples of original thinking by small companies who found ways to provide something valuable to the marketplace.

Read it in bits. Don't try to absorb everything at once. The book has legs.

Motivational Marketing

Seth Godin knows how to market through motivation. His books are not deep and dense. They are quick and hyper. "Small Is the New Big" is the epitome of Godin's style. It is a collection of 184 blog posts, e-books, columns, chapters, and articles. From a free blog to a $25.00 book--not bad work if you can get it.

This is not criticism--it's factual praise. Godin understands the new world and its demand for blended information technology--the blog is the column is the chapter is the book . . . And he practices what he preaches.

The book itself, like any collated book, is uneven. The author challenges readers to select any ten "posts" and dares them not to be changed. I suppose the simple statistical possibilities would suggest that a random sampling would lead to some motivational, challenging, and helpful posts and some less so. That has been my experience.

I will say this, he is always interesting, passionate, self-assured. Of course, many of those late-night infomercials are the same. But in fairness to Godin, his ideas, while not novel, are much more useful than the self-serving infomercials. It's just that they are not as useful and unqiue as they seem to claim to be. After a while the claim to remarkability becomes a constant dripping that causes one to wonder just how remarkable (purple-cow-like) any of it is. In other words, less telling us how remarkable it is and just be remarkable.

More provocative business thinking from the bestselling author of Purple Cow and All Marketers Are Liars

As one of today’s most influential business thinkers, Seth Godin helps his army of fans stay focused, stay connected, and stay dissatisfied with the status quo, the ordinary, the boring. His books, blog posts, magazine articles, and speeches have inspired countless entrepreneurs, marketing people, innovators, and managers around the world.

Now, for the first time, Godin has collected the most provocative short pieces from his pioneering blog—ranked #70 by Feedster (out of millions published) in worldwide readership. This book also includes his most popular columns from Fast Company magazine, and several of the short e-books he has written in the last few years.

A sample:
• Bon Jovi And The Pirates
• Christmas Card Spam
• Clinging To Your Job Title?
• How Much Would You Pay to Be on Oprah’s Show?
• The Persistence of Really Bad Ideas
• The Seduction of “Good Enough”
• What Happens When It's All on Tape?
• Would You Buy Life Insurance at a Rock Concert?

Small is the New Big is a huge bowl of inspiration that you can gobble in one sitting or dip into at any time. As Godin writes in his introduction: “I guarantee that you'll find some ideas that don’t work for you. But I’m certain that you're smart enough to see the stuff you’ve always wanted to do, buried deep inside one of these riffs. And I’m betting that once inspired, you’ll actually make something happen.”
