"The consistent work enhanced my act. I learned a lesson: It was easy to be great. Every entertainer has a night when everything is clicking. These nights are accidental and statistical: Like lucky cards in poker, you can count on them occurring over time. What was hard was to be good, consistently good, night after night, no matter what the abominable circumstances."
There are some pearls of wisdom in Steve Martin's new book, Born Standing Up. The one above struck a chord with me, and helped me understand why Seth Godin was the marketing guru cited by over 600 members of the Marketing Executives Networking Group as being most important today. Seth works hard, and he's consistently good; blog post after blog post, book after book. Kudos Seth!
