2. Do it your way

3. No one owes you anything
After leaving Spinnaker in 1986, he used ,000 in savings to found Seth Godin Productions, a book packaging business, out of a studio apartment in New York City.
4. Don’t wait to get picked
In 1995, Godin launched Yoyodyne, which used contests, online games, and scavenger hunts to market companies to participating users.

6. Spread your ideas
In 1998, he sold Yoyodyne to Yahoo! for about million and became Yahoo’s vice president of direct marketing, a position he held until 2000.
7. Shun the non-believers
In March 2006, Godin launched Squidoo, a community website that allowed users, called “lensmasters,” to create pages (called “lenses”) for subjects of interest.
8. Life is a series of dips
Godin and Squidoo were profiled on CNN and in the Washington Post, while the website was given top prize in SXSW’s community/wiki category.
9. Navigate without a map
In July 2008, Squidoo was one of the 500 most visited sites in the world.
10. Pay attention to the audience
