Early Career Choices
- Seth Godin made several unconventional career choices early on, like taking a lower salary at a small software company.
- He also quit that job to get married and moved to New York without a concrete plan, defying expectations.
Overcoming Decision Paralysis
- To avoid decision paralysis, write one-page proposals for each competing opportunity.
- Ask colleagues to choose, forcing a decision and revealing if you're hiding from commitment.
Remarkability Examples
- To launch "Purple Cow," Godin sent 5,000 copies in milk cartons, sparking conversations and remarkability.
- However, sending the sequel "Free Prize Inside" in cereal boxes failed because bookstores discarded the packaging.
