Episode 4 - Knowing When To Quit

Ask yourself these questions:

• Am I doing this for me or just to satisfy others’ expectations of me?
• Would quitting help me achieve my goals?
• Am I compromising my character, my values, or my energy?

If your answers were that you’re just satisfying others, quitting your current job or situation would actually move you closer to your goals, and you find yourself wasting your energy and compromising on your values, it could be a good time to assess other options.

Some things to consider quitting are:

• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Excessive spending of money
• A bad personal relationship or friendship
• A job which does not move you closer to your goals

3 things to consider when figuring out if it’s time to quit your current situation are:

1. Consider the consequences of change. In the case of quitting a job, pay great consideration for the ramifications of your actions. Do you have enough money saved up to get you through the next 6 or so months for things like rent, bills, other obligations? If you’re already working on building your business but can’t quite secure enough time during your busy days due to a full time job, consider part time work as long as you have the means for health insurance.

2. If you’re at your breaking point, begin planning now. Whether it’s relationship, bad habit, or a bad fit at work, start making plans. Trust your instincts. If you are at the end of your rope now, the situation is likely not going to get any better. Consider your options and act accordingly.

3. Stop giving your precious energy to something which isn’t worth your time. If you’re drained at the end of the day and don’t have any energy left for yourself in order to engage in things that make you happy and fulfilled, it’s time to have a direct conversation. If at work you’re working a dual role for instance, be honest with your supervisor(s) about your abilities. If working more than 12-13 hours, 5 days a week, you’re likely not only missing out on opportunities to execute on your dreams, you’re likely missing out on precious time with friends and family, that of which you will never get back. Be strong.
