Seth Godin is the most popular blogger online. Yet, people claim he only got that way because of his work with Yahoo beforehand and you shouldn’t follow his writing advice because it only works for him.

I read he doesn’t really know what he’s doing with blogging because of his lack of focus on SEO, social media, etc. He continues to be popular because he was once popular.

These are nothing more than excuses.

Seth continues to persist by spending inordinate amounts of time reading, researching and connecting, then sharing it with the world.

Perhaps the reason people say, “You are not Seth Godin,” is because we are not willing to put in the same amount of work as him.

Perhaps we’re too addicted to overnight results, massive growth and not the long, steady climb for the long term.
