5 Things I Learned Reading: The Dip, By: Seth Godin

5 Things I Learned Reading: The Dip, By: Seth Godin

Here are 5 things I learned reading, The Dip, By: Seth Godin (Amazon):

1. Winners quit. They just quit the right things.

2. “The problem with infinity is that there’s too much of it.”

3. The Dip weeds people out, and that creates scarcity, and by that, value.

4. Zipf’s law says that the biggest/most popular usually win by a large margin.

5. “Extraordinary benefits accrue to the tiny minority of people who are able to push just a tiny bit longer than most.”
