About this episode

The Best Quitters Win

Has anybody ever told you, "It's good to be a quitter?"

Probably Not. That's why it's so important today that you pay attention today.

Being a good quitter isn't an excuse. It should never be an option for making things easier. Instead, quitting is a wise choice. You choose to quit when your progress has you going around in circles or has stopped.

That's when things get interesting.

Once you are committed to an important idea, it can be challenging to allow yourself to quit. Stuck in a lousy job, terrible relationship, destructive behavior? That may not be wise. Your internal sense of "Identity" will compel you to hold on to the very end.

Listen closely when your inner voice begins to sound a warning. There's no need to wait for the inevitable. Trust your gut. If you must, go through the fire and change your direction fast.
