How to be Awesome… 5 tips for surviving Seth Godin’s “Dip”

Having recently read the dip, and fallen in love with Seth Godin, I tailored some thoughts to my fellow SFU alumni around this great book.  If you would like to learn more about how “Awesomeness / Leadership is completely undervalued” I’d suggest picking up Seth’s book which is available here: Buy Seth Godin’s “The Dip”

5 Ways to get through “the Dip”:

  1. Happiness is Awesome - Be passionate about what you do.
  2. Ignoring the Hype is Awesome - Don’t put people on pedestals and don’t take yourself too seriously.
  3. Ownership is Awesome - Take responsibility for EVERYTHING.
  4. Teamwork is Awesome - Surround yourself with great people… you can’t do it all yourself.
  5. Failure is Awesome - Fail fast and often… greatness is 99% failure.

Great web-site. I just discovered it. I'm an SFU student who has decided to leave college and pursue a start-up. I'm developing a micro-agribusiness that connects local farms to local restaurants and co-ops. Through advertising and marketing, my web-site will serve as a portal and provide accessible (fresh and organic) cops for local vendors.
