Actually I'm new to Seth Godin. O-O Weird seeing him with no glasses and wearing blue jeans.

@@stevelenores5637 he was rocking the Steve Jobs' vibe back in the day hahahhaha

Brian Russick - Drummer / Percussionist Facts! Still to this day he helped me complete my Marketing degree such a knowledgeable honourable man!

Yes, he made it simple and interesting.

True

Elon Musk said it's not only about solving problems. There's a video on him explaining why. You have to be both i guess.

people spend money on products because they believe it will improve their quality of life, and the big ticket items are usually the ones that solve a specific problem/need/issue

I think Seth here is talking more about in terms of marketing and advertising. At the end of the day, it will always come down to the product and how it fills up a gap in the market.

"How to get your ideas SPREAD" ... obviously it has to be useful if it's going to catch on.

FortuneMarketingCo yeah and because it takes years of massive work without results

On the contrary, some wait too long hoping it spreads without ever succeeding. Businesses require money (revenue). Revenue is generated by sales. If you don't sell anything, you go out of business. I think the problem is most (small) business literally cannot afford to be patient and wait for their good idea to spread, so they market to the masses- hoping to gain traction. Facebook changed that. We can spearfish now instead of casting large nets.

FortuneMarketingCo I was having the same thought while I came across this comment. Cool!

Karen, it’s good to know I’m not alone in this view. What a pathetic world we live in. We don’t buy anything, we’re sold everything - and we seem to be perfectly happy with that state of being. Nature does wonders beyond comprehension without any money through Her natural economy, but with our artificial, money-driven economy all we seem able to do is create endless, useless novelty that actually destroys natural economy as well as any sense of it from our consciousness. Why do we so passively insult and degrade ourselves like this? Why do people like this who see humans as nothing more than targets not make us angry? I suppose it makes it easier for us to insult and degrade the rest of the natural creation we’ve been blessed with. I’d be perfectly happy if they used Elon Musk’s new rockets to shoot all these flippin’, hyper-motivated, mind-robbing ad-men straight into the heart of the Sun. Not really, I suppose, but metaphorically speaking, that’s what I’ve done with them in my own personal life. I’m done with being their target.

I’m actually happen working on a product that might do just that-or at least begin the process of that. ;) give it around 1-3 more years, and hopefully, if it works, you’ll see it.

That's the truth though

Karen, Many people are solving difficult problems which will impact humanity. As long as a business case can be made, since profitability is a great instrument for motivation & growth.

I understand where you are coming from, but at the end of the day, a man/woman has to be able to feed himself and his children. Doing things "good for the environment" or teaching people "how to forgive each other" seem, to me , to be luxurious hobbies, that one can indulge in only AFTER the money has been made and the wolves are being kept from the door. very few of the celebrites and rich people who make a big deal about contributing to the problems you are pointing out, actually did any of that , until they were rich and secure. For most people the priority must be take care of ME and MINE first; then try to help others. I wish the world were different but it isn't.
