I finally got around to finishing Linchpin, blogging a review, fully engulfing the TRE#11 talk with notes and repetition, then crafting a thoughtful email to Seth Godin about my publishing ambitions. Within less than 3 minutes he responded, saying “this is very cool, Charles. Go make it happen!”
Few words but enough to give things some juice. If I work hard enough and actually produce something, I might actually be able to run it by him for direct feedback. Hopefully he’ll like it and he’ll pass it on.
It’s hard to imagine how much energy it takes to manifest so much attention, then to leverage that attention to do wonderful things and influence people for the better. This is what Seth is doing, far better than anyone in the marketing space.
I do know that Seth’s success strategy is totally based on giving: he gives so freely and is humble, and it all comes back to him. He is the ultimate Linchpin.
