Quit often!

Now here's an interesting headline...Quit often? What do I mean by that? Haven't I told you in an earlier post never to give up and never, ever learn how to quit? And now I say "quit often." That doesn't make any sense...or does it?

See, until just recently I lived by, "never ever learn how to quit." And stubbornly I did some things day in day out, hoping that the outcome would change. Hmmm, isn't that the definition of "insanity" to do the same things over and over and hoping for different results?

It can really get confusing when people (life coaches, teachers, mentors, etc.) tell you to be consitent and persistant and never to quit, however when you do that and you don't see results you are labeled "insane".

The key is to know WHAT to quit and WHEN. Quitting the things that don't work is actually important. Don't keep doing what's not working and hoping if you just do it long enough it will eventually change. It won't.

I read a really great book last month. It's called "The Dip", by Seth Godin. In this little book you will find out exactly what to quit and when. I highly recommend you read it. It only has about 80 pages and is an easy read...but very powerful.
