Seth Godin is my friend.
This is because I exchanged emails with Seth Godin twice.
I have exchanged Twitter DMs with Paulo Coelho. I also exchanged a few words and photos with Mr. Lee Oisoo. In a world connected by the internet, anyone can become a friend if their sincerity connects.
Who is Seth Godin?
Seth Godin is an influential author, entrepreneur, and marketer known for his unique approach to business and branding. Through over 18 bestsellers, including *The #P Curple Cow* and *The #P Inchpin*, he advocates for people to pursue excellence, take risks, and stand out. Through his blog and online courses, he has influenced millions by teaching about # Marketing, # Leadership, and # Change. His "# Change Marketing" concept transformed traditional business strategies, and Godin's ideas are concise, powerful, and accessible to everyone, serving as a guide for modern thinkers and practitioners.
The reason I want to be like Seth Godin
He is a writer before he is a marketer. He writes almost every day. He posts three or four articles a week on his blog. Whenever he writes a blog post, he automatically sends me an email.
“The reason I think it is ”amazing” is not because Seth Godin writes great stories.
The reason I came to respect Seth Godin is his attitude toward creation, constantly recording even 'insignificant' fragmentary ideas—even just a few lines—and even if they are not perfect.
He is a bestselling author whose online courses have already become massive hits. He is a star marketer frequently invited to appear on world-renowned podcasts. From Tim Ferriss to the Harvard Business Review, everyone mentions his name to promote himself. Yet, Seth Godin also takes notes and writes every day. These notes are closer to inspiration or reflections than to information. He then collects these writings to form the basis of his books.
Not every single piece of writing gains immense popularity.
Nevertheless, Seth Godin, the world's best marketer and author, writes even today.
Those who cannot even come close to his level do not leave a record because they consider my writing too trivial or embarrassing. No matter how brilliant an idea may be, it evaporates if not written down. Through this repetition, Seth Godin continues to develop, while those who do not record themselves are gradually weeded out.
‘"I used to have so many good thoughts, but I can't remember them at all," I say as I grow old. If I lose my memory, I cannot verify that I am myself. Even if I lose my memory, I want to become an old person who loses the things I have written and searches for the fading reason for my existence.

I hope 2024 becomes a year of more records.
Me and all the subscribers.
