Seth Godin on Doubt

by Sam on December 5, 2010

The path to entrepreneurship is not an easy one. Sometimes we forget what truly makes an entrepreneur:

[Living with doubt] is almost always more profitable than living with certainty.

People don’t like doubt, so they pay money and give up opportunities to avoid it. Entrepreneurship is largely about living with doubt, as is creating just about any sort of art.

If you need reassurance, you’re giving up quite a bit to get it.

On the other hand, if you can get in the habit of seeking out uncertainty, you’ll have developed a great instinct.

    Yes I agree with you…Living with doubts is more profitable coz if you are certain about something and everythings goes wrong …and finally you planned failed then you realize that certainity is dangerous to some extent..
