That you, and everyone else for that matter, is able to dream up something radical and viral and yes, remarkable. So why doesn&#8217;t it happen more often? Sure, fear is a big part, but it&#8217;s also a lack of imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, most people don&#8217;t believe something better can occur. They believe that the status quo is also the best they can do. So they don&#8217;t look. They don&#8217;t push. They don&#8217;t ask, &#8220;what else?&#8221; and &#8220;what now?&#8221; They settle.<\/p>\n<p>Fear is an emotion and it&#8217;s impossible to counter an emotion with logic. So you need to mount emotional arguments for why your fear of the new is the thing you truly need to fear.<\/p>\n<p>As for the second issue, just knowing it exists ought to be enough. Once you realize you&#8217;re settling, it may just be enough to get you wondering&#8230; wondering whether maybe, just maybe, something better is behind curtain number 2.<\/p>\n<p>I think that these kill enterpreneurship as well. These are very basic to having a start or making one.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seth Godin says that the following two are the things that kill marketing creativity The first is fear.
